He's not saying games are bad, he's a comedian, he's come up with a funny point, and made a joke about it. When he said this at a live show I was at of his, he got 2 thousand young people applauding and laughing. Maybe you should try cracking a smile...
@WeHaveExplosive No, he's talking about having a choice - we all have a choice with a book, to read it the traditional way or skip forward (like if a section is boring, or we've read ti before) - games should have that choice. It wouldn't negate the option of the traditional, unlocking structure. Unless the player is an idiot with no willpower or self-awareness
@Greengiant223 Man, I can't even remember what I said now, but books and games are two different media formats and are structured very differently. What applies to one, does not necessarily (or can't) carry over to the other, and if you find it necessary to skip parts, you're spoiling the narrative element of both. He sounds like he needs to play more passive games.
I think Dara O'Brien doesn't understand video game. A game that you can breeze through will not result in you seeing it all and thinking 'oh my, that was jolly nice', it will be boring as shit. It is necessary for a game to be challenging, if it's too hard, practice, get better. Half the fun is overcoming the obstacle, if O'Brien had spent the time to beat that level it would have been an much richer and more rewarding experience. Games are about more than just the story.
@shino13i Thing your forgetting is he's a older gamer. He doesn't have time to practice all day and he's married. He said that about Rock Band and he's right in quickplay mode he should have access to all the songs he wants. He's laughing at himself because he can't get further in GTA.
The fact that both Dara and Brooker are gamers makes me smile oh so much. Shame people aren't used to Brooker actually talking about something he likes XD
The only Sim game I've got is ShipSim2008 and there's something really fun about it even though levels can become very long and you're not doing much most the time.
But then you'd probably run me over whilst shooting at me with a mac 10 cos you learnt it on GTA4 instead of going to school. You know that game started with a shitty look down view that made you sick after a while and your character fired dots at people.
7.43 - them were days lad, when you couln't even have a fucking diagonal line on a game without it looking like a staircase.You kids dont know you're fucking born nowadays.
Dara must be a retard ever cnut knows you can just fly through the toll booth in a half decent car and beat the flashing circle of law before it knows what the fucks going on, dont they?
I have to play another fucking game where you can slow down time I'll scream.
Charlies so right about the boring dialogues though, ' hey motormouth I've now got a sniper rifles muzzle pressed against your retina and you're still droning on as if nothings amiss, I'll have a walk round then come back and bounce near you if you're still talking then," I love the games where you can kill these characters even if it means you'll have to listen right from the start.
I disagree with Dara O'Brien, it is a valid point about Guitar Hero, but that is a flaw in the game itself. The whole point of the games is the challenge and the satisfaction of the completion of it. It's like saying "I don't like watching films because you can't watch it without watching the whole two hours." The games he uses as examples is not the case with most games. Not all games make you grind.
@UnworthyFun In Guitar Hero and Rock Band you can enter a cheat code to unlock all songs. All it takes is a google search to find out, the devs obviously considered the point Dara made so there isn't a flaw.
@grunnyyk2 I don't think I do fail with a COMEDIAN. Why does he being a comedian have anything to do with video games? You fail at trying to make a valid point. Thank you.
@UnworthyFun It's not like saying that with movies at all. It's exactly like he says - it's like someone asking you questions at the end of each scene of a movie, and if you don't get it right, then you don't 'deserve' to see the rest, even if you've paid for it.
Games should have an option which allows you to skip forward to any point, just like you can with a book, CD or movie. It should be my choice if I want to play it the traditional way or select particular moments
@Greengiant223 But it would ruin all satisfaction and undermine the point of a game. It is to challenge you in a way that entertains or passes time. Anyway, there is a wide selection of games from casual to hardcore markets and a lot of these games let you skip to any point in the game. I just feel that games are indeed a challenging medium because it is so different to a book or a film. Games by their very definition need to have some sort of objective.
@UnworthyFun Yeah I agree, but I'm taking a second option to let you skip parts that are frustratingly difficult. But then every game has cheats anyway, so whatever. Good chat, I'm off to play some lovely games!
@Greengiant223 I also feel that he has not given the games enough time. Like watching a film, you will spot things you did not see before or notice something different. Like this, games will really reward players for learning the game well, if Dara were to stick with something like Gears of War and took some time with it, he would have come away feeling more satisfied.
@UnworthyFun Yeah again I agree, and as I said below cheats are usually available if worst comes to worst. I just remember some games in which, try as I might, I couldn't get past a certain point and no available cheats could help. Oh well, there are worse things in life
@Greengiant223 Also, in order for a film or book to make sense or to get the best out of them, you need to start from the beginning and finish at the end. Otherwise they do not make sense. Why would you want to play a "game" that you have completed before you have started? People do not ask questions about themes in a game. In a game, you master the game's mechanics in order to have fun.
@Omnilegence I'm not. Not sure how you got that out of the comment - the point is that all games have a learning curve of some kind, and to whine about "waaah games suck because I can't beat this part and I want to play the rest" is just a bit sad.
@SubaruOfTheTriad Apologies if I misinterpreted your comment and falsey accused you of being something you are not, imagining what a nerdy egoic computer champ would say led me to see a certain resemblance in your comment. In honesty Dara does strike me as one of those rare people that refuses to ever master a game to an apprciable degree. I would argue he wasn't whining so much as ranting, he didn't appear to be taking it seriously.
@Omnilegence =P Be careful, you're applying the negative stereotype the media sees gamers with (as Brooker mentions).
And yeah, in hindsight, and given TheRealBarnez's reply to me, it does look more like the guy is sort of taking that stance in a kind of loose way (although it's difficult to tell really, because I have seen people make that complaint before with full seriousness).
Besides, his example is silly. What kind of jerk skips to the end of a book without reading it XD
This is a great piece of gaming related TV; This is because Charlie Brooker obviously knows and loves his games. It didn't surprise me when I found out he used to write for a PC gaming mag/web-site back in the day.
Oh good God I want this, I want a weekly discussion show including various celebs that just sit down and discuss video games, give me this BBC and I will happily pay my Tv licence for eternity.
Not sure Dara really got into the spirit of GTA, he might be the only player ever to stop at that toll booth which exists only to make crossing the bridge a little more interesting as you leave the cops in your dust.
@kingofburnttoast Can't expect much for video games at Dara's age, though, he didn't really have the advantage of growing up with these kinds of controllers, I just think it's awesome that he plays them at all. XD
I think Brooker made a point at the start that he didn't mean to. Nazis are the gaming world's punching bag just ahead of North Korea. Nazis certianly arn't the good guys, but it would be interesting if games tried to humanize the people you are murdering. I try to think of them as just German soliders, not Nazi fucks who deserve to die via axe to the anus.
why is he talking so much about the Wolfenstien remake. and he never mentioned Half Life in his fps run down... grave omission... just had to nerd out
whether or not dara o briain sucks at games, its still a good point. other media doesnt stop us from playing it. video games should have a normal version, and a handicapped version, for people whgo dont want to wait.
@wimpylassiter2336 yer, but to be fair, the whole point of games is to challenge the player, It's like saying "I wish in films, you knew the ending straight away." This is why people play games, and I don't understand why it is a problem, everything would be boring, if we unlocked all the content.
89% of Gears of War I never saw, all because of that fucker and the door- lmao! We got stuck on that bit caus we couldn't figure out how to kill him for ages
@MitchRaf LOL. I feel pretty lucky then. I saw this before I got the game, which was yestorday lol. I imagine it would have taken me a while to figure out. I found it pretty easy to be honest. :P Only died twice. I love to imagine what O'Brian would have been like if he did manage to get through the third door and realized it still wasn't over haha!
@renoo27 You only just bought it yesterday? I was talking like 5 years ago, I'm waiting for Gears of War 3 now so I can see how badly we get raped on that instead.
@kingofcrime87 hmm yea true but that was besides the point really. My point is that he just seems to be trying to desperately connect with a young audience and its tragic.
@LukaRaPtoR Uh, He's younger than any of the actual members of the Beastie Boys.
But good music is only for young people, right? yeah, fuck off, Dara, you highly successful comedian, you obviously just want to grab that young audience who you already had LONG before you brought up games or their hip young cutting-edge bands that started just 33 years ago! Don't try to deny it, you Irish bastard! this one person on Youtube believes you're just a fake for no good reason!
@451harri "If you buy a Klaxons album..." Yea alright I get it, your in touch with modern music. I GET IT. What you don't get is that the Klaxons are shit.
@LukaRaPtoR Not really - at least that still leaves the possibility of reason and logic. Good god, shall we stop this before we make thumping great dicks of ourselves?
@451harri anyway i think i must have been pissed off or something when I put that other comment in 2 months ago. I must say I am guilty of doing that sometimes. I must stop it.
...does Dara not realise following traffic regulations in a GTA game is a pretty bad idea? I agree that games being too hard is annoying though. They should all have the option to skip levels if they're too hard, or just all have difficulty settings. But then, I never found GTA IV hard enough for that to be necessary.
I agree with everything he mentioned about Rock Band... except what he said isn't true. You can just hop into quickplay mode and do your thing from the get-go, lol.
You can tell all of us who watch Brooker are a lot older than the average game player - we can spell, punctuate, don't say lol or rofl and don't spend half our posts calling each other gays or bitches or passing lewd comments about other people's mothers. No wonder we're shit at playing games!
@sunbeam11 Oi, I watch Brooker, use all those abbreviations, make lewd comments about people's mothers, I'm 15 and I'm still shit at playing these games.
@sunbeam11 Excuse me, I'm greatly offended by this. I'm 16, play loads of videogames, and only use lol/rofl and other such text-language in texts, (or because eventually writing haha gets old). I can spell and manage to use decent English when I type. I don't go around calling people gay or making mum jokes as an argument.
A lot of the a-holes on videogames are actually mid twenties-ish. Old enough to know better but young enough to get away with it.
Dara, its grand theft auto, you over take the other drivers, you drive through the toll bridge. Heck, kill the guy at the tool bridge if you want, Then out run the police.
I fully agree with Dara. If I fail at a task, no matter how simple, more than a couple of times I get really fed up and end up giving up on the entire game. I like the games in which you can skip a level if you've attempted it a stupid amount of times, even though it does make you feel incredibly dumb that you CAN achieve all the 'harder' levels.
@BradleySherwoodFan Then you suck. I've not found a game difficult enough to make me give up on it and I typically play games on the hardest difficulty.

@wimpylassiter2336 yer, but to be fair, the whole point of games is to challenge the player, It's like saying "I wish in films, you knew the ending straight away." This is why people play games, and I don't understand why it is a problem, everything would be boring, if we unlocked all the content.

@MitchRaf LOL. I feel pretty lucky then. I saw this before I got the game, which was yestorday lol. I imagine it would have taken me a while to figure out.

@LukaRaPtoR Uh, He's younger than any of the actual members of the Beastie Boys.
But good music is only for young people, right? yeah, fuck off, Dara, you highly successful comedian, you obviously just want to grab that young audience who you already had LONG before you brought up games or their hip young cutting-edge bands that started just 33 years ago! Don't try to deny it, you Irish bastard! this one person on Youtube believes you're just a fake for no good reason!

...does Dara not realise following traffic regulations in a GTA game is a pretty bad idea? I agree that games being too hard is annoying though. They should all have the option to skip levels if they're too hard, or just all have difficulty settings. But then, I never found GTA IV hard enough for that to be necessary.

You can tell all of us who watch Brooker are a lot older than the average game player - we can spell, punctuate, don't say lol or rofl and don't spend half our posts calling each other gays or bitches or passing lewd comments about other people's mothers. No wonder we're shit at playing games!

A large part of this "avergage gamers" are over thirty and up, so it is not only young people who play.
I am in my twenies and gaming and watching Charlie Brooker. You will see no "lol" in my comments. You only see the comments of those who write them.

@sunbeam11 Excuse me, I'm greatly offended by this. I'm 16, play loads of videogames, and only use lol/rofl and other such text-language in texts, (or because eventually writing haha gets old). I can spell and manage to use decent English when I type. I don't go around calling people gay or making mum jokes as an argument.
A lot of the a-holes on videogames are actually mid twenties-ish. Old enough to know better but young enough to get away with it.

Sam5726 1 year ago 3
I fully agree with Dara. If I fail at a task, no matter how simple, more than a couple of times I get really fed up and end up giving up on the entire game. I like the games in which you can skip a level if you've attempted it a stupid amount of times, even though it does make you feel incredibly dumb that you CAN achieve all the 'harder' levels.
Gaming is a tough life!
