Unlecture #8

In this week’s lecture I was really impressed by the question ‘Can video games be considered hypertextual narratives?’ I have never thought of it when I play video games. (I’m not a gamer)

Are video games hyper textual? I think online games can be considered as hypertextual narratives although some people do not think so. Nowadays many online games do have narratives, players need to follow the narratives to play the games, sometimes they can insert the commands in the game to win the game or change the narrative to a different ending.

But, yea, in general many video games do not have narratives and cannot be considered as storytelling. But I think considering video games as hypertextual narratives is arguable.
