Reality is a fractal vagina

Symbolism usually ends up being painfully obvious and contrived. It's already plaguing cinema because it is easier to go for basic symbolism than to actually convey something deep and meaningful. Game critics are already prone to worship every game that takes itself too seriously. Imagine adding heavy-handed symbolism on top of that.

Tarkovsky on symbolism
>Everybody asks me what things mean in my films. This is terrible! An artist doesn't have to answer for his meanings. I don't think so deeply about my work - I don't know what my symbols may represent. What matters to me is that they arouse feelings, any feelings you like, based on whatever your inner response might be. If you look for a meaning, you'll miss everything that happens. Thinking during a film interferes with your experience of it. Take a watch into pieces, it doesn't work. Similarly with a work of art, there's no way it can be analyzed without destroying it.

Nice, I like Nitrorad too

>tfw 5 hour games don't provoke people into making autistically long analyses that reach so hard anymore

the team silent hill games left a lot to the imagination, which is something they don't do anymore these days because spoonfeeding your audience the entire lore and backstory and the specific mechanics and physics of every last detail in your setting allows you to control your own medium better, rather than letting people come up with their own speculation.

PATRIARCHY

Because sjw liberals are the only people producing games these days. Intelligent design is gone.

"Where is all the symbolism, why is gaming so shallow?"

Can't beat the cock

Symbolism died in like 1905 with Otokar Brezina retiring his writing career and nit writing anymore, even though he lived for couple decades more.
Symbolism is shit and waste of time.
