Re: EA: Games Are Still Too Hard to Learn

Well a entry barrier exist in any media, what makes different in video games is that your are in control of that action.

You can see a film but sometimes do you really understand what the director/producer are trying to say with the frame, angle, colors or even the position of the actors? There's always a message where the "normal" people who aren't familiarized can't see.

In games the low barrier entry I can think is Telltale games, they have simple controls, just have to make a choice, use some control to movement and done, others games are difficult to adapt very quickly and I can't think of a simple solution to this "problem".

I don't know, I can relate to both sides and enjoy both approaches, but I prefer Read or see a series than play a everyday life game, a emotional game is other question.

I had really high expectations about Life is Strange, even bought the season pass, but I just enjoy it up to a point, the best thing that I can say about the first episode is the mechanic of rewind, not too much for reality, huh?

I don't think the game has a new approach like you painted, I thought the exact opposite - very ordinary, not that's bad, but It felt like was missing something in the story, the characters were very cliché, the main protagonist at least I could relate a little, I'll continue the game on the second episode, but I don't have too much expectations anymore.
