My favourite journalistic practice is when outlets lump up everyone playing video games into a single group called “gamers.”
Strategizing feels dangerously close to work for me.
I’ve been saying this for like a decade now. The “interactive movie” gaming genre is boring as fuck and I hate that so many AAA games do this.
Even games with a decent amount of depth like RDR2 end up having like 10 minutes of cut scenes per hour.
Someone who isn’t into strategy games will play shallow strategy games like fire emblem because its anime and allows you to date anime girls with big boobs.
For me, it’s not such much not being interested in strategy, but because strategy games always seem to end up with a solved meta. There’s the obviously best thing to do, and then everything else is hard mode if you can be bothered with that.
