King Arthurs Gold, A kid game?

So, I figured this was the place to put it but.
I was recently playing on a deathmatch server. :)
And someone asked how old we were, and people answered yanno the typical 17, 18 kinda age.
They say "Why are you guys playing this, this is a kids game."
May i have your thoughts on how this is a kid game?
I mean i understand the building and such but i never really considered this a kids game.
Share yo thoughts. :D

 

People say that this is a kids game cos the graphics are basic, but if you think about it logically the 40 - 50 year olds grew up with 8bit graphics so if anything the question is why are kids playing this addictive, violent no-story plot game and why arent the 40 year olds

Just throw up a bit more controversy there

 

Yea exactly. Just hearing that someone thinks this is a kids game kinda bugs me. I think of this as a more serious, epic, game. I dunno. Lets just hope others dont think its a kids game.

 

There's very few games that I wouldn't call "kid's games." I'm not saying that this game is aimed at children, nor am I saying that it's strictly for children.

The majority of gamers, regardless of age are self proclaimed children-at-heart. That's not to say we all lack maturity, just that we enjoy a good time (sometimes a little more than we ought to) . Besides; I'd like to see them (being the people mentioned in your post) name an "adult's game." The only game suitable for adults that I can think of, off the top of my head, is a freeware title called 'The Kite.' I'm not saying there aren't more, just that I haven't stumbled upon many (if any) others.

On that note, mindless violence + profanity =/= mature game, imo. So yeah, I play kid's games. So what?

 

Those kids sure do like making swastikas.

 

I'm at the age now where most people my age have children, and I swear, if I saw my 6-9 year old children playing this game, I WOULD KILL THEM.

 

You can point a game at a certain audience, but it will eventually end up in some kid's hands, when I was 10ish, many of my friends owned GTA :p

 

The point is that if I enjoy a game, I'm gonna play it. Kids game or not. I STILL love playing my NES and SNES. The fact that they're "kids" games doesn't spoil my fun.

At the same time, just because children are playing doesn't mean I'm gonna put a filter on what I say. Its like Bluigi's sig says, "censorship is like telling a man he can't have steak because a child can't chew it."

 

I love that quote, but a rating for a game is based on what is in the games content, not on what people may say during chat, so the real rating would vary to who you are playing with.

 

I`ll be honest here. This is no kids game, I`m just a teenager but I still get pissed of quite badly sometimes and swear, kids shouldn`t have experience with that so early.

 

This aint no kids game, KAG players are far too competetive and...... lets say creative with their building to be younger children. Not to mention the dedicated community....

Unless they are children who had a proper childhood growing with Lego....

 

Well, I'm going to be devil's advocate here and say that it kind of seems like a kid's game.

- Bright and humourous cartoony graphics
- Low skill requirement
- Low skill ceiling
- Very casually paced game
- Very random gameplay

The competitive format of the game sets it apart I guess but if there is actually such a category as "kid's game" KAG seems to come pretty close.

 

Liar! Burn him because of that heresy he said! X3X3X3 Seriously, I can't agree with both RANDOM gameplay and casually paced game, because it's really isn't so. Gameplay is getting some worse due to lags and small bullshitsclever allies, but it just cannot crush all existing, ya? Casuality? Then tell me why ther is SO much topics about tactics, tower-building, guides which count a lot more than hundred rules and so on? Don't think I now employing my anger, but just think more about KAG.

 

Tic Tac Toe is probably the best example of a game with no "random" gameplay. It is a children's game.

It takes a serious person to analyze the many variables and complex situations one can find themselves in with KAG.

Usually, adults fall under that stereotype.

And, once again, intricacy is not chaos.

 

but he said that this game has A LOT OF random gameplay...
