Deleted54170User Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Ah! The extraordinary event of it's time. It was a new world to explore. With wonders many could have only dreamed of if they had lived where travel was limited to one of their local gathering places filled with pinball machines, little CRT monitors stuck in an eight foot tall box with controls on a dashboard. Many gamers were barely out of their Arcade diapers when Morrowind rose from the creative minds to reality; and got attention for the PC Windows and Linux of their times. Gamers; who may have tired of the slot that ate lots of our pocket change finally had some relief from hiking, biking, getting their parents permission to go to the depths of their skyscraper cities to adventure for a couple of hours in a room full of gaming machines. Free games could be won; if a person got talented enough, and didn't tilt the table or the video games towering box. The crowd! Oh, so many young people all gathered in the big room. All of a sudden they, we all, could sit home with the VIC 20, Commodore 64, Windows 3.1, 3.2, Linux xx, and so on. And stay near to their dear, overly, worried parents with a couple of friends who used to play D&D the old fashion way with them before. What fun an LAN party must have been! Home computers arrived and, good or bad, Morrowind did so too. Like Dungeons & Dragons Morrowind transformed us. A game that gave our imagination reigns, when we all used to just sit and watch television. That all changed. We had been seeing our imagined selves from our day playing with toys we picked up and moved about and interacted with, with the hero doll and all the peripheral toys that came with it. We got to be more connected with what our minds might imagine if we were enabled to participate as a character. GI Joe was formed from someone many of us could relate to. we could only dream of the scenes we imagined laid out on the floor, before video games brought them to us. Instead of staring at a picture from high up on a map. With little items we prepared and then sent into realms to reason with opponents, we found out selves face to face with an NPC that made us lurch back into our comfy chair and realize we just entered, first and third person gaming. A step down from overseer, or lord from above, to human. With risky circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allyserian Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Excellent use of argumentative advertising to get people to view your video's. "THIS GAME SUCKS" What is unfortunate is that someone thinking of playing MW who reads that may decide not to. The comment by multiple is spot on.
