The Stanley Parable

…METAGAME

When October 2013 rolled around and The Stanley Parable properly debuted on Valve’s Steam storefront, the game was met with a flurry of positive reviews from sites large and small. TSP’s metatextual bent resonated strongly with many critics, although it also posed certain critical challenges. Matthewmatosis cites the game’s self-awareness as a barrier (video link, CC/auto-captions) to worthwhile critique and that “the entire experience suffers heavily from diminishing returns,” referencing TSP’s emphasis on repeatedly restarting the game to achieve multiple endings. On the other hand, Alex Duncan’s essay on how to approach critique of TSP as a work

…without punishment or reward. Tom Chick concurred, stating that the decision to kill or spare Darko said more about the player than the game, and the somber drive afterward “forced you to think instead of watch or listen.”

Nayan Ramachandran, however, felt that dressing up certain choices as explicit moral decisions only served to trivialize the countless murders Niko committed in missions or just driving around. In this respect, Justin Keverne envisioned GTA IV as a test case for the categorical imperative: when murder and theft are trivial and allowed, life and property become meaningless.

…important, but there’s more to the game’s design than that alone might suggest. As he says in a discussion of the game’s open world nature,

Why would the designers give us these options when all but one of them leads to disaster? Because if we make the decision, we own the consequences. When we talk about “open world” games, we think of words like “discovery” and “freedom,” and sometimes we conflate the terms: if we can discover the game on our own, then we must be free. But there’s no freedom in Dark Souls. The designers let us

…could make for a refreshing pallete-cleanser after all the reading I’ve found for you this week?

This Week in Videogame Blogging is a roundup highlighting the most important critical writing on games from the past seven days.

Changing (Dis)Course

We open this week with three articles challenging dominant critical narratives in games and their attendent discourse. How can we talk more meaningfully about games without going in circles? What else is out there to play and cover? How can we more thoughtfully engage with the stuff that already has all of the mindshare?

Now let’s look at a few individual titles and the different ways they connected with writers.

…be reductive. There were other manmade (discursive) horrors beyond our comprehension to talk about this year, like Unity almost destroying smaller game developers for a few extra bucks, and the strange notion that every dev studio should be like Larian Studios, makers of Baldur’s Gate 3. But beyond even all that, 2023 saw a large number of developers speaking candidly about their works in informative and thought-provoking ways.

    …studying different kinds of paratextual material is so important to the way that we understand, and in the way that we think about historical digital games and the kinds of arguments that they are making about the past. So, I did that really through looking at different kinds of official communication. So, a range of different paratextual promotional materials that were created and published by Rockstar and communicated then through their official channels. So, through the sort of official Rockstar website, and the kind of Newswire, somewhat sort of almost bulletin board, I guess, section of the, the Rockstar website,…
