COMPARATIVE VIDEOGAME CRITICISM by Trung Nguyen
COMPARATIVE VIDEOGAME CRITICISM by Trung Nguyen Citation Bogost, Ian. Unit Operations: An Approach to Videogame Criticism. Cambridge, MA: MIT, 2006. Keywords: Mythical and scientific modes of thought (bricoleur vs. engineer), bricolage, cyber texts, ergodic literature, Unit operations. Games: Zork I. Argument & Perspective Ian Bogost’s “unit operations” that he mentions in the title is a method of analyzing and explaining not only video games, but work of any medium where works should be seen “as a configurative system, an arrangement of discrete, interlocking units of expressive meaning.” (Bogost x) Similarly, in this chapter, he more specifically argues that as opposed to seeing video games as hard pieces of technology to be poked and prodded within criticism, they should be seen in a more abstract manner. He states that “instead of focusing on how games work, I suggest that we turn to what they do— how they inform, change, or otherwise participate in human activity…” (Bogost 53) This comparative video game criticism is not about invalidating more concrete observances of video games, such as how they work, but weaving them into a more intuitive discussion that explores the true nature of video games. II. Ideas Unit Operations: Like I mentioned in the first section, this is a different way of approaching mediums such as poetry, literature, or videogames where works are a system of many parts rather than an overarching, singular, structured piece. Engineer vs. Bricoleur metaphor: Bogost uses this metaphor to compare the fundamentalist view of video game critique to his proposed view, saying that the “bricoleur is a skillful handy-man, a jack-of-all-trades who uses convenient implements and ad hoc strategies to achieve his ends.” Whereas the engineer is a “scientific thinker who strives to construct holistic, totalizing systems from the top down…” (Bogost 49) One being more abstract and the other set and defined. -

Embodying the Game

[email protected] / [email protected] Abstract this performance that is monitored and interpreted by the While playing a video game, the player-machine interaction is not game system, registering very specific data that is solely characterised by constraints determined by which sensors subordinated to the diverse kinds of input devices that are and actuators are embedded in both parties, but also by how their in current use. actions are transcoded. This paper is focused on that transcoding, By operating those input devices the player interacts with on understanding the nuances found in the articulation between the game world. In some games, for the player to be able to the player's and the system's actions, that enable a communication feedback loop to be established through acts of gameplay. This act in the game world, she needs to control an actor, an communication process is established in two directions: 1) player agent that serves as her proxy. This proxy is her actions directed at the system and, 2) system actions aimed at the representation in the game world. It is not necessarily her player. For each of these we propose four modes of transcoding representation in the story of the game. The player’s proxy that portray how the player becomes increasingly embodied in the is the game element she directly controls, and with which system, up to the moment when the player's representation in the she puts her actions into effect. -
