#WarGames - Season 1 - Eko

Koupil jsem si #WarGames, protože se mi líbilo Her Story od stejného režiséra. Tam [strike]hráč[/strike] divák z krátkých videí skládal zajímavý detektivní příběh; zde pouze sleduje dění v oknech, a tím, které okno vybere jako hlavní, ovlivňuje příběh. Prý. Forma je stejná jako u seriálu Semestr z produkce českého Streamu: většinu času koukáme na skype talky nerdských hackerů, občas doplněné o záznamy z kamer nebo zpravodajství. To je celé. Pokud to někdo nepochopil, tak #WarGames není hra, ale (velmi omezeně) interaktivní film, což ale není důvod, proč dávám palec dolů. + Nízká cena, teoreticky zajímavý koncept, pár napínavých momentů. - Exhibice diverzity. Pestrá směsice ras, genderových identit a ušlechtilá mamča vojačka. Spousta postav jsou bezcharakterní šablony, dosazené jen do počtu k docílení rozmanitosti. - Nesnesitelné dávky ema. Střídmá akce je hojně přerušovaná americkými klišé ve stylu „musíme si promluvit o pocitech“. - Chyby. Jak si tak klikáte na okna a „ovlivňujete děj“, videa se občas trhají, nenavazují plynule, u některých scén chybí titulky. Titulky jsou navíc cenzurované (řeč ne). Dokonce vyhvězdičkovali slovo „Jesus“.

I couldn't even play episode 1 because of an error that hasn't been fixed. The other episodes are locked. Basically, this product does not work. I contacted the developer for an answer (couldn't get a refund because I took too long to test the game) and the developer said they'd fix this issue (a known issue) in future versions. They recommended I get it for free on the Android store or watch the episodes from their website. You should do just that, unless you're feeling like a sponsor of the arts or something and feel like donating some money to Eko.

Pretty cool concept. Its main problem is its not easy to tell when you've reached the threshold for a decision.

As a follow-up to Her Story, this is poor. As a contender in the 'choose your own adventure/your decisions affect the story' market, this is poor. This is more like an HBO drama, and it's a good one. However this is a game on Steam, and I have to compare it to games, not TV dramas. It's a game where you affect the story, and whilst I can understand that focusing on one character can affect the story, I don't understand WHY I am changing it. I also don't feel I make any impact on the game at all, as opposed to Her Story which I personally felt was groundbreaking. Anyway I was more than ready to power through and have my mind changed, but after completing Episode 1 I realised the game wouldn't run Episode 2 properly. It would play the intro and then skip to Episode 3. Fantastic. Too late to refund.

I was sure that I would love this based on the Her Story pedigree, but the writing is hackneyed, the acting is frequently stilted, and the systems are completely opaque. "Decisions" based on where you're looking when there's no particular reason to look one place or the other? No thanks.

There's something very catchy about this. Bring on Season 2!

Not working for me

GÜNCELLEME 2: Sorun düzeltildi. Artık oynanabilir. GÜNCELLEME: Oyun çalışmıyor. SAKIN ALMAYIN. "Hangi sahneye odaklandığımıza göre" değişen hikayesiyle ilk bakışta dikkatleri üzerine çeken bir oyun #WarGames. Ancak hikayenin neye göre değiştiği o kadar belirsiz ki hiçbir etkiniz olmadığını düşünüyorsunuz. Hatta seçim yapmanız gerektiğini hissettiğiniz durumlarda bile odaklandığınız sahne gidişatı istediğiniz yönde değiştirmiyor. Oyunculuklar iyi ve karakterlerin dünyanın farklı yerlerinden oldukları aksanları aracılığıyla başarılı bir şekilde verilmiş. Merak edenler için, film olan War Games ile oyunun benzerliği neredeyse sadece isimle sınırlı. Ne oyunun konusu ne de karakterlerle başka bir bağlantısı var. Bu konuda beklentiye girmeyin. FMV oyunları seven ve Sam Barlow'un bundan önceki oyunu Her Story'yi çok sevmiş olmama rağmen bunu sevemedim.

Problème de charchement de l'épisode 1. Aucun autre épisode n'est accessible dans le menu. Le jeu est donc injouable en l'état. Le problème semble connu des développeurs et non rtésolu depuis plus d'un mois.
