Shagger Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Hellblade certainly increased my empathy for those with mental health troubles. It is nice touch when a game can covey a powerful, helpful and positive message whilst still being a blast to play. Justin11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really a wonderful game to offer those helpful messages which you got to understand as a player. I never played hell-blade, nor heard it before, but I'm optimistic about the game, playing it to experience everything good you said about it.

I seriously think that it's part of the reason why most people and even some medical experts have good regards for the game because of its influence towards mental health.

I'm still trying very hard to find the link up between having a game influencing your empathy and the use of microtransactions thwarting that.

Empire Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 This would be a lot stronger piece if you specifically referenced prior art. It would help tie the ideas down a lot if you examined games other people have interacted with and analyzed why it did or did not work. The references to Papers, Please! works well, but can't support the entire piece on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micro-transactions have really dented our empathy we have for gaming especially when it concerns EA, and Konami companies games.

He used to empathize more when games weren't just a huge money pit. He was really immersed but with the microtransactions - it annoys him to the point that he's not interested in the game. Therefore, he'd empathize less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, now I get that completely and it's actually something that is very understandable because these microtransactions are dead annoying.

I'm actually considering moving to Belgium so that I don't have to deal with microtransactions in-game. Heatman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have got to be kidding me with that assessment, although I know it's just going to be a joke. To move just cos of games ; that's hilarious 😂.

Justin11 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Does movement to another country makes it free from micro-transaction policies of FIFA or efootball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Video games have really increased my empathy, making feeling like a pro players via soccer when I am playing FUT and player career mode at FIFA, and also in F1 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
