Dys4ia is affecting. It's an interesting way to deliver a narrative. Minigame collections are not a common point of reference for those seeking story. Granted, Anthropy's work isn't perhaps packaged with a complete denouement, per se, but it remains an interesting divergence, particularly being as it is hosted on Newgrounds, famed source of the Harry Pothead of eons passed.
That said, there is a fundamental, perhaps contrarian, part of me that feels Dys4ia is getting attention for the wrong reasons. Maybe wrong is too far. Disingenous, perhaps. It's the bleeding heart 'gamez r realz' idea that concerns me. I hope we're commending it for delivering an interesting and different subject matter, and not regarding it as a fascinating freakshow for all the world to see.
I wrote an article about this recently, too. I feel like a lot of people have left WoW for SWTOR, and have come to realize that they're simply tired of current-gen MMO games.
@Mike512 I don't think it does. They haven't added any achievements for any of the DLC card packs, except for the first pack that knocked it up to 250 achievement points. Can XBLA Arcade titles have more than that? I'm a little out of date on that stuff.
Has it been out for 2 months already? I only spied it on the Game Marketplace last weekend. It was a tremendous let-down. I'm sad that Patrick Stewart's peformance is locked behind an iron curtain of such abysmal gameplay.
