My view on video games has changed drastically since taking this class and made me put in perspective what video games are all about. Taking this class was very interesting in multiple different ways and made you think about things involved with video games that you don’t ever really think about. This class has broadened my horizons and made me try games that I would have never even thought of playing. Taking this class made you really think about the personality of characters in the game and the details of the storyline and the game mechanics and how each thing works. I also learned how games can have different endings when you would think that it is a video game that it would all be the same and thought it was really interesting that this was because it was based on all of the decisions that you had made throughout the whole game.

Yes, I believe that my relationship with video games has really changed since starting this class because this class made you think about characters and mechanics in a much different way rather then just playing a game for enjoyment. Since taking this class I feel like that I understand more of the characters emotions and really made feel a connection with some characters that I never really felt when playing video games on my own. This made me want to keep playing the game and keep playing as that character more and more because I felt like I was in their shoes making the decisions like it was my body. I also think that my relationship with games has changed because of all the theories and different prospective that each person in the class thought of while playing the game. It was interesting to hear all of the different theories that each person thought of while playing the game and all of the stories and different emotions each person thought about when playing as that character.

I do think that I will continue to think about video games through there literature because there is a whole different perspective you will have for the game and a whole different view on playing games and what they are all about. I think I will continue this conversation because it also made the games more enjoyable to play and addictive because you wanted to figure out the whole story and get answers. Thinking of literature in video games is something that I have never done before but really glad I took this class to see video games in a way different perspective.

The next game that I think I am going to play is probably the story mode in the new NBA 2k 22 because this is a game that I really enjoy playing and will make me think of my character and his decision making in a way different way then I have done in the past. I will also play the new call of duty games because I think they have one of the best game mechanics in all of games. Overall, I really enjoyed taking this class and made me think of video games that I haven’t never before.
