  • NIER's Rejection of the Heteronormative in Fairy
    Cerri !1 “This Is Hardly the Happy Ending I Was Expecting”: NIER’s Rejection of the Heteronormative in Fairy Tales Video games are popularly viewed as a form of escapist entertainment with no real meaning or message. They are often considered as unnecessarily violent forms of recreation that possibly incite aggressive tendencies in their players. Overall, they are generally condemned as having no value. However, these beliefs are fallacious, as there is enormous potential in video games as not just learning tools but also as a source of literary criticism. Games have the capacity to generate criticisms that challenge established narratives through content and form. Thus, video games should be viewed as a new medium that demands serious analysis. Furthermore, the analysis generated by video games can benefit from being read through existing literary forms of critique. For example, the game NIER (2010, Cavia) can be read through a critical lens to evaluate its use of the fairy tale genre. More specifically, NIER can be analyzed using queer theory for the game’s reimagining and queering of the fairy tale genre. Queer theory, which grew prominent in the 1990s, is a critical theory that proposes a new way to approach identity and normativity. It distinguishes gender from biological sex, deconstructs the notion of gender as a male-female binary, and addresses the importance of performance in gender identification. That is, historically and culturally assigned mannerisms establish gender identity, and in order to present oneself with a certain gender one must align their actions with the expected mannerisms of that history and culture.

Introduction: Why we play 3 The approach of violence or taboo in game design is a discussion that has historically been a controversial one. The Columbine shooting caused a moral panic for violent shooter video games1, the 2007 game Mass Effect made FOX News headlines for featuring scenes of partial nudity2, and the FBI kept tabs on Dungeons & Dragons hobbyists for being potential threats after the Unabomber attacks.3 The question ‘Do video games make people violent?’ does not occur within this thesis.

  • DRAKENGARD JUMP- 0.1 by Valeria You're in for a Rather Miserable Ride
    DRAKENGARD JUMP- 0.1 By Valeria You're in for a rather miserable ride jumper. This is a world much like our own, in the times of knights and castles, all it would take is a flip of the map to see no difference. At one point in time, in fact, it was identical to our world, but a catastrophe happened in the year 856 and magic was introduced to this world by force. This magic did not come alone, as alongside it was the Dragons and the Watchers. The Dragons are terrible beasts, in both sheer power and their surprising intelligence. The Watchers are grotesque abominations, who take the form of gigantic infants. Something else snuck through alongside these two races, though what it is is unknown even to them. The world continued on however, adapting to magic and monsters as best it could to these new challenges. Three times await you, all with their own dangers and all are linked closely to both the Dragons and the Watchers. Whether you deal with these struggles yourself, or simply allow events to take their natural course, the choice is open. You have 1000cp. Spend it well. Age & Gender Your starting age is 18+1d8 years. If you chose Monster as your origin, roll 10+2d8 centuries. You remain the same gender as your previous jump, though you may change this and your age freely for 100cp. Locations- 1 & 2- Drakengard 1 The world is locked in a war, between the Empire and the Union. The Empire, backed by strange magicks and horrible creatures is pushing back the Union more and more, driving them to extinction at the behest of the mad Cult of the Watchers.

  • Ludic Dysnarrativa: How Can Fictional Inconsistency in Games Be Reduced? by Rory Keir Summerley
    Ludic Dysnarrativa: How Can Fictional Inconsistency In Games Be Reduced? by Rory Keir Summerley A Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) at the University of the Arts London In Collaboration with Falmouth University December 2017 Abstract The experience of fictional inconsistencies in games is surprisingly common. The goal was to determine if solutions exist for this problem and if there are inherent limitations to games as a medium that make storytelling uncommonly difficult. Termed ‘ludic dysnarrativa’, this phenomenon can cause a loss of immersion in the fictional world of a game and lead to greater difficulty in intuitively understanding a game’s rules. Through close textual analysis of The Stanley Parable and other games, common trends are identified that lead a player to experience dysnarrativa. Contemporary cognitive theory is examined alongside how other media deal with fictional inconsistency to develop a model of how information (fictional and otherwise) is structured in media generally. After determining that gaps in information are largely the cause of a player feeling dysnarrativa, it is proposed that a game must encourage imaginative acts from the player to prevent these gaps being perceived. Thus a property of games, termed ‘imaginability’, was determined desirable for fictionally consistent game worlds. Many specific case studies are cited to refine a list of principles that serve as guidelines for achieving imaginability. To further refine these models and principles, multiplayer games such as Dungeons and Dragons were analysed specifically for how multiple players navigate fictional inconsistencies within them. While they operate very differently to most single-player games in terms of their fiction, multiplayer games still provide useful clarifications and principles for reducing fictional inconsistencies in all games.
