Again, I hope you can take something out of my previous post, nobody is against a different mind around. But you know what you're doing, and it's not nice.
What can I take out of your post? That you are yet another person who wants to claim adventure genres aren't dead, they're just zombies or on life support.
There are major problems with the essay. I think for example it could be ACTION+PREDICTABLE, ACTION + UNPREDICTABLE, REACTION + PREDICTABLE, REACTION + UNPREDICTABLE
But then why should games conform to some scheme of binary opposites. Are you losing a lot of information thinking in terms of these opposites and so end up being stupid? If games genres group around performing similar tasks, should the broad genre categories follow say how the brain is structured. eg.
QuoteThe present paper proposes that four neuromodulator systems underpin highly generalized behavioral sets, but each targets either dorsomedial or ventrolateral cortical systems, where it produces its effects in either a proactive or reactive orientation to the environment. This way systems are discriminated that control reactive approach (dopaminergic), reactive avoidance (cholinergic), proactive behavior (noradrenergic), and withdrawal (serotonergic).
But really, what shows I don't know what I'm doing is that I posted this essay here. You guys are so busy trying to say your community is great (and crying because I don't submit to that viewpoint) to offer any solutions to fix the essay. So obviously I'm going to point out what is wrong with your community (such as moderators who brag about enjoying verbally abusing the disabled, or the fact that your brains shut down on the holocaust issue).
By the way to the people who thought I was icycalm etc. I posted the essay on culture.vg after it was deleted here and they didn't think it was worth refuting, ie really bad. So obviously I'm not him.
Final note: an adventure game about the national treasure franchise but finding out the holocaust isn't real is a really good idea. Someone should make that.
