Seminar Task 2.





1.What does the author think that games are for, or how they should function?
2.Why do you think they claim this?
3.Who might think differently and why?
4.How persuasive do you find the author’s argument?

What does the author think that games are for, or how they should function?

I believe in this text that Jenkins does not really state what he thinks games are for but he does go on to talk about the narrative elements on some games and how they can tell a story to the player through the environments bringing the player in.   

Why do they claim this?

I think Jenkins believes that the most important part of a game is telling a story through it environment, without it there is nothing, in which he states that there are one of four ways to experience an immersive narrative such as spatial stories. All elements of a game are important to form a solid narrative.

Who might think differently and why?

I believe that some such as ‘James Newman’ who has been mention before in another task would disagree with Henry Jenkins, because Jenkins believes that narrative is very important and all a games elements are thus leading the player to a game that is enjoyable and successful, in visual’s and story.

How persuasive do you find the author’s argument?

I agree with the author in what he has said in this piece of writing. I believe all of a game especially how it’s narrative is played out does make a successful game as a whole.
