Talk:Don't Blink (video game)

Validity
This game is currently used as a valid story at least on Weeping Angel, and yet there is no clear ending. It depends on how you play. There are multiple endings. That should make this invalid, I would think. 11:18, December 19, 2016 (UTC)


 * I don't see how this is different from any other video game. There is only one possible winning state. CoT     ?  14:07, December 19, 2016 (UTC)
 * But nine other endings, as well, that are a bit more than just " ". 14:22, December 19, 2016 (UTC)


 * You want more than a " "? How about the Doctor or Amy Pond regenerating when you lose? We ignore game overs for every other game that has 'em, why not this one? CoT     ?  01:16, December 21, 2016 (UTC)
 * I take your point. Other than that, I have no objections. 01:52, December 21, 2016 (UTC)

"Multiple endings" or "no clear ending" should make this story invalid. As for the argument that we ignore "gameovers" for other games, it's my opinion that the majority of video games should be ruled invalid (per Forum:Why do prefixes link as they do?), so that argument doesn't work here.

 * But that forum doesn't say anything about video games. As far as I can tell, Forum:We need a policy on videogames is the only forum to come to a conclusion on video games; saying that as long as it has plot it's valid. Why are you going for the low-hanging-fruit when you could instead try to chop down the entire tree? Bring your opinion on video games to Thread:181884, but until it's policy I don't see how bringing up examples of stories which are currently considered valid "doesn't work here".


 * As I demonstrated with the above images, this game's "multiple endings" are just cheaper versions of the Doctor collapsing after being shot by a Dalek in City of the Daleks. The plot of this game is the same for every person that plays it. Every single successful run is the same. A "game over" only happens in an unsuccessful run. CoT     ?  03:03, December 21, 2016 (UTC)
