PASSAGE #6

“Most video games differ from traditional games like chess or Monopoly in the way they withhold information about the underlying rules of the system. When you play chess at anything beyond a beginner’s level, the rules of the game contain no ambiguity: You know exactly the moves allowed for each piece, the procedures that allow one piece to capture another. The question that confronts you sitting down at the chessboard is not: What are the rules here? The question is: What kind of strategy can I concoct that will best exploit those rules to my advantage? In the video game world, on the other hand, the rules are rarely established before you sit down to play. You’re given a few basic instructions about how to manipulate objects or characters on the screen and a sense of some kind of objective. But many of the rules become apparent only through exploring the world. You literally learn by playing. This is one reason video games can be frustrating to the non-initiated. You’re supposed to figure out what you’re supposed to do.”
