Not what I meant. Games; like books, movies, and other such things; are supposed to serve as an escape from reality, in my honest opinion. As such, although one may know it's not real, most don't really acknowledge that. If that makes any sense.
Because you admitted that they aren't real beforehand, that just seems to me that video games don't do that for you, which was I all wanted to point out. |
I need not escape reality, I like reality. I like the reality of me sitting in a chair playing mario 3 too. Though really, I'm not of the opinion that admitting fiction isn't real removes it's use as an escape. You can "escape from reality" by using reality too, all it takes is placing your thoughts on something that isn't the "reality" you wish to avoid. It's really all the same thing... unless of course you can really characterize yourself with mario, and that just can't be sane. |
