RE: How they ruined the game

bobbo Wrote:It's about the question wether a game stripped almost entirely to the story still works for the audience[...]
A while ago, I would have said "no, that can't work". Then I played Journey and it expanded my view of what games can do tremendously. A game with no real "game" in it, except for walking in one really obvious direction, yet it had a huge emotional impact.

So far, I have to admit that pigs didn't have the same impact on me, even though I quite like it. I do, however, firmly believe that this is not due to the aforementioned features having been removed. A certain type of game (maybe we shouldn't call it "game", but rather something like "interactive experience") can definitely work without all those traditional gameplay elements, better even than with them.
It does need something equally strong and engaging to balance that out, though, be it in the narrative, the visuals or maybe even (as is the case with Journey) the interactions with other players. I'm not quite sure whether these balancing elements are strong enough in pigs - it feels a bit empty and shallow... like they could have done more to make me care about the world, story and characters. Still, overall it is a very interesting and refreshing experience and not really comparable to TTD, since they are very different approaches.
