Mark!" data-source="post: 3245872" data-attributes="member: 14559">I was just reading the Anime thread and a poster mentioned that there's a generation gap in RPGs - the older gamers being S+S junkies and the newer ones being anime/LOTR visual junkies. I was just thinking - are games changing due to this generation gap? Do we have a marked explosion in a more visual game than a well scripted for the verbal game?Being an english teacher, I can say my kids are more often than not visual in their writing and creating style. Ask them to write a story and they write what would look excellent in a movie (exploding spaceships or what not) non-visual stimulus is less exciting. The exploding spaceship thing applies - an exploding spaceship in a novel is not awe inspiring at all. What do we think, guys? In a visual-less game, are we becoming more visual oriented?</blockquote>
