Who would you consider to be the gaming worlds Alan Moore equivalent?
American McGee.Will Wright is the actual closest but he's just autistic, not edgy
Once seen as a visionary but is now an out of touch hack?Hideous Kojimbo of course
>>739875495a shit log on a console.
>>739875495Jonathan Blow is a perfect equivalent
>>739875495>based chad that transcended his medium of choice and changed it forever simply because he wanted toHideo Kojima.
>>739875546His games are complete shit
>>739875495Frog Fractions 4
Hes /v/ incarnate if you think about it. He hates everything, thinks hes smarter than he actually is and is a shutin misanthrope.
>>739875608That’s where my mind went too but I can’t tell if it’s just memes or there are legitimate parallels>genuinely smart and talented>made a masterpiece>mad because he feels like people misunderstood his art>somehow also retarded
>>739876175They both think they are above their mediums when they are just miserable and unwilling to enjoy things. Though Blow isn't anywhere near as violently bitter as Moore, and is still earnestly making (good) video games.
Jonathan Blow is the only person I can think of that vaguely fits.There are very few "Video game auteurs" and the ones that do exist like Kojima and Yoko Taro are kinda silly guys.
A retard commie piece of shit that keeps accidentally making pro chud media much to his own chagrin?I'm not sure...Maybe Ken Levine?
>Make deconstructive satire about how the medium sucks>Fans of the medium don't realize it's satire and absolutely love it>Just becomes part of the establishment it was trying to tear down and arguably makes the medium even worseThat guy who made cookie clicker
He actually thought people wouldn't like and respect Rorschach.
>>739875495This guy has the same kind of look as Rasputin and Dugin. Like in another world maybe they could've been actual wizards but in our time they just end up as severely mentally ill freaks instead.
>>739875495His attempts at writing novels were laughably bad. Stick to your proper medium funnybook man.
>>739878849>he kills rapists, pedophiles and murderers but because hes a homeless man who sticks to his own code that makes him evilI swear its like a reoccurring trend with these types.
>>739879020He excuses rapists too if they're on his side. Roarsach is a hypocrite has no beliefs, he just thinks he does.
>>739878313>make really well written and engaging comic with great characters and artwork >nooooo you weren't supposed to like it
>>739879014His comics aren't that much better. The thing is that standards for comics are just incredibly low.
>>739876283In terms of using the medium of the story as a part of the storytelling, I can see that. However, Yoko Taro is more of a joker than a cunt like Moore or a one-trick pony like Moore as he's made shit outside of DrakenNier that was moderately successful and he doesn't hate the video game medium since he does do small reviews of games he played or is playing.Yoko Taro uses vidya to elevate his writing while Alan Moore (kind of rightfully but still spitefully) shits all over comics with his own.>>739875634>>739875569Same thing with Kojima. Kojima doesn't have video games. He just likes westoid movies more and wants to make video games incorporate more movie shit (and white women to feed his blatant AMWF fetish).The only people that really are like Moore are cunts like Blow, Fish and a lot of the early indie dev celebrities that hate the medium they make content in but use it as a means to procure an image as an artfag guy.
>>739875782exactly
>>739875495Phil Fish
>>739875495Chris Avellone
>>739878849I always heard it was supposed to be:>Rorschach is a good man with shitty politics>Ozymandias is a shitty man with the correct politics>Night Owl and Silk Specter are the most loathsome because they are floaters who don’t stand for anything
>>739879020He goes out of his way to defend a rapist's deeds as a minor ephemeral "moral lapse" though
>Alan Moore supposedly hates comics For what purpose? I thought League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was great.
>>739883370He doesn't hate comics, he just hates DC and Marvel for personal reasons and takes a dim view of fans of superhero comics for never reading anything else.
>>739882682trying to be reductionist with Watchmen characters is retarded, they're all morally complex characters who can't necessarily be fit into a high concept elevator pitch.
>>739878849>90% of comic readers are edgy incels>edgschach is the king of virgin delutionYeah, Alan tought too highly of the average dumb comics consumer
>>739875495I can't really think of anyoneMoore comics? Absolute kino full of soul Moore opinions and the person itself? Absolute garbage
>>739884265Oh, you know him personally?
>>739875569Kojima loves vidya too much to resemble Alan Moore's relationship with the medium of comics.>>739876283So does Taro.>>739877554As retarded as Moore is, at least he made somewhat of an effort to be knowledgeable about things he speaks about. Levine literally said that he puts concepts into his games that he can't understand because he thinks that's the coolest shit ever.>>739875608Close, but not exactly.I can't really think of an auteur who>made one thing that people unanimously consider great>thinks anarchism or communism is really fucking based and most people are just too retarded to see why>hates games as a mediumThere's like a dozen who fulfill the latter two but none that made something that gamers actually canonized as a classic.
>>739884265Why are Rorschach butthurt fans so easy to spot?
>>739884323You just have to read his takes to conclude he's a retard>BuT dO yOu KnOw HiM pErSoNaLlY?Go back to᠏ r᠏᠏eddit
>>739884516awww is da widdle baby upset Alan Moore was mean to his widdle superhewos
Unlike most game industry has-beens Alan Moore is not a complete waste of oxygen, yet
>>739884149>delution>tought>dumb
>>739884610I couldn't type a more redditlike reply if I tried
>>739884323He is a public figure.
>>739875495>Made couple of artsy games in the 90s>Famous for making one revolutionary experimental game that somehow managed to attract even the normalfags>Influenced countless of future games>He retired because he had no attachment to the industry, despite making a big name for himselfOsamu Sato
Watchmen satirizes an era of comics that not even the parents of the vast majority of the audience are old enough to know firsthand.
>>739884893Its a satire of 80s edgy american propaganda which was at its peak on those years. Everyone thought the US was "cool" and "the good guys" back then. Watchmen just unmasked the ugly truth
>>739884893It's basically an attack on the whole Reagan/Thatcher 80's era of trickle down economics. A powerful few shouldn't have that amount of power. Superheroes in the comic represents authority figures. "Who watches the Watchmen?/Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"
>>739875495More like Anal More!
>>739885505Funny how the villain masterplan was to create a falseflag terrorist attack to steer american politics and he did it mostly thanks to his control over the media
>>739885776It's also implied that Ozymandias plan was at best just a temporary solution and that people would eventually find out the truth, similar to real false flag attacks
>>739885776Even funnier how he had The Comedian hint at Epstein Island in the comics, but Zack Snyderstein removed all that for the film
Someone who did good stuff in the 80's, and then became an enormous curmudgeonly prick?
>>739878849People misunderstand his position on Rorscach. He simply got tired of fat faggots coming up to him going on about the character all the time and it made him dislike the character by association.Think about how /v/ liked Hollow Knight until faggots kept spamming about it constantly, which made people turn on it because they were so annoying. That's basically Alan Moore's relationship with Rorscach.
>>739878849What actually happened is Moore was considerably more of an edgelord and a chud in his youth, and then being face to face with himself in the form of comic fandom made him develop a form of self-loathing.Rorschach was 100% supposed to be cool and to be liked by the audience. Not necessarily in the sense that you think he has all of his shit together, but undoubtedly in the sense that you root for him. You only have to read it. Same with V, who in Alan's own words was an exploration of folk heroes who if you actually met them probably wouldn't be very nice people. Highwaymen and pirates and thieves and the like.
>>739886692When did he allude to EI?
>>739875495no one, game creators are joke
>>739886537>smartest man on earth >somehow overlooked the cyclical nature of the human condition Temporary solutions are the best anyone can ever hope for. Gratitude and resent are two sides of the same coin.
now who's the gaming worlds equivalent to Bendis>made one good thing>the rest is absolute shit>leaves original company after fucking them up to go to another and fucks them up too>his only legacy is his fetish
>>739884396>Kojima loves vidya too much to resemble Alan Moore's relationship with the medium of comics.>video game director who abuses his medium by larping as a film director>comic book writer who abuses his medium by larping as a novelist
>>739891056>made one good thingWhat good thing did he make? Bendis is mentally ill. He created Jessica Jones, his own personal waifu to have her paired off with Luke Cage. Its not the race angle but the idea you would self-cuck yourself. Even Dave Filoni refuses to marry Ahsoka to anyone. He created Miles Morales. He ruined Superman, the Avengers, Daredevil so many other characters.
>>739883824>reductionist/v/tards throw this term out like they know what it means, the word you're looking for is reductive, you stupid retarded retard.
>>739893301Kojima LARPs as a film director, sure, but his games are also very unashamedly silly and include a lot of things that you can only pull off in vidya.
>>739875495A fat, rich, communist jew who rips off of other writers?
I think Pat Mills is better, t b h.
>>739896182Pat Mills is more inconsistent, but he got high highs
>>739893827don't be such a pediatrist
