  • Fighting Games, Performativity, and Social Game Play a Dissertation
    The Art of War: Fighting Games, Performativity, and Social Game Play A dissertation presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Todd L. Harper November 2010 © 2010 Todd L. Harper. All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled The Art of War: Fighting Games, Performativity, and Social Game Play by TODD L. HARPER has been approved for the School of Media Arts and Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by Mia L. Consalvo Associate Professor of Media Arts and Studies Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT HARPER, TODD L., Ph.D., November 2010, Mass Communications The Art of War: Fighting Games, Performativity, and Social Game Play (244 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Mia L. Consalvo This dissertation draws on feminist theory – specifically, performance and performativity – to explore how digital game players construct the game experience and social play. Scholarship in game studies has established the formal aspects of a game as being a combination of its rules and the fiction or narrative that contextualizes those rules. The question remains, how do the ways people play games influence what makes up a game, and how those players understand themselves as players and as social actors through the gaming experience? Taking a qualitative approach, this study explored players of fighting games: competitive games of one-on-one combat. Specifically, it combined observations at the Evolution fighting game tournament in July, 2009 and in-depth interviews with fighting game enthusiasts. In addition, three groups of college students with varying histories and experiences with games were observed playing both competitive and cooperative games together.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact Info: [email protected] SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI®: PERSONA 3™ DELUXE EDITION ANNOUNCED Locked away in the human psyche is power beyond imagination...

  • Persona 3: Mass Accession Written by X-22
    Persona 3: Mass Accession Written by x-22. Based on an idea by Colonel-Sandman and characters from Atlus' Persona 3 A cool light filled the office of Mitsuru Kirijo's Tatsumi penthouse apartment. The large room was one of downplayed ostentatiousness and elegance, much like the young woman sitting at her desk. Glancing at the time and barely acknowledging that it was very late, the Kirijo Group CEO opened another report on her computer screen. Like most of the ones she had skimmed through today this one was really the province of someone further down in the company system, but Mitsuru preferred to keep tabs on everything that was going on in her organization. "I'll just skim through this..." the red-haired woman muttered to herself, but the voice in her head was not convinced: Didn't you learn anything from the incident seven years ago. Mitsuru smiled. It was true the Tartarus event had taught her that she could rely on others instead of shouldering all the responsibility for everything. And she liked to believe she had gotten better at it, but there had been no major Shadow-related incidents for over two years and she had to do something. "I'm sorry, Tunoku," Mitsuru chuckled. "Old habits die hard." It was the transfer student Carla Tunoku who had really opened her eyes and showed her the power of relationships. That wasn't the only thing the vibrant redhead had showed her, however... "Who knew commoner food could be so delicious?" Mitsuru chortled and bunched up a Wild Duck Burger wrapper and tossed it into the trash can, already overflowing with the things.

  • Sven Dwulecki, ''I Am Thou… Thou Art I…''—How Persona 4'S Young Adult
    “I am thou… Thou art I…”—How Persona 4’s Young Adult Fiction Communicates Japanese Values Sven Dwulecki Abstract Life is Strange, INSIDE, Oxenfree—all these video games represent a seem- ingly entirely new genre. Young Adult videogames diverge from the male, gloomy grown-up stereotypes and replace them with adolescent protago- nists in their coming of age stories. Their commercial success seem to val- idate their endeavors. However, YA narratives are hidden in plain sights for many years within JRPGs. Shin Megami Tensei – Persona 4 (short Persona 4 or P4) is a cultural ambassador. This paper examines how the game’s pro- cedural rhetoric in combination with its Young Adult story advocate in fa- vor of specific Japanese values. The time structure of P4 reinforces a long- term orientation and requires strategic planning as well as tactical flexibil- ity. So-called “Social Links” represents Japan unique take on collectivism. Each link encapsulates a small YA narrative and offers different benefits to social-active protagonist. Finally, grinding mechanics reflect the notion of repetition-based learning. Japanese schools teach through engaging with developing several solutions to a singular problem. The same holds true for the grinding process. All these elements combined create a game rhet- oric promoting these aspects of Japanese culture. Sven Dwulecki is a PhD candidate at the University of Tübingen and former market researcher at Crytek; his research is focused on the rhetoric of video games and their influence upon consumers; in his field of expertise he combines business and digital rhetoric with a focus on marketing strategy, innovation, and the role of entertainment industry.

We have a new group of users. They must have intriguing stories to tell…” -Igor, to a new party. Creating a character in Persona may seem daunting at first, especially if this is your first tabletop role-playing game. The sheer complexity of the rules can turn off newcomers to the genre. The jargon may seem incomprehensible and downright inane. That sentiment is totally understandable – tabletop is not for everyone. While a game like Persona is innately complex and due to a complex system, every effort will be made to make sure that character creation is made as simple as possible, and easy enough for anyone to pick up. Why? To give the prospective players, both old and new, an ease of access to the system, without being threatened with jargon and vague bullshit. To begin, let’s outline what Persona: the RPG is.
