It’s said that video games are going to
surpass other
methods of mass entertainment in the early 21st
century. So will
video games ever become as common an experience as listening
to the radio,
watching TV, or going to the movies?
Chances are good as more designers understand that
story-driven games
are a prime motivator, not just an afterthought.
Think of some of best games you’ve ever
played- did they
have characters, places, and plots you could relate to? More
than likely that’s the case. Getting
people to play a game is easy, make it accessible to them.
Getting people to
keep playing over and over and want more after they’re done
takes the elements
of storytelling that best-sellers and cult favorites are known
for.
What are some of your favorite cult games, and what is it about them that keeps you coming back?
