God I went into that article thinking I might agree with some of it. I adore the concept of the game and love all the memes but I wanted something a little more sandbox like, without being (literally, haha) gated out of places until I puzzled my way through a task. But I'm so glad others love this game, it's just not quite hitting it 100% for me.

Wow, that article was NOT that at all. The entire thing is :stare:

Yeah, that article is maybe the dumbest take on video games I've ever seen.

The Atlantic posted:

The only problem is that you have to play the game to do so. And playing a game is a chore. That’s the big problem with video games: To enjoy them, you have to play them. And playing them requires exerting the effort to operate them. Games are machines, and broken ones at that. The player’s job is to make them work again.

...

Game-play—the work of working a game—is fundamentally irritating, at least in comparison with other media forms. It’s easy to pass the eyes over the pages of a book, or to bathe in the waves of image and sound at the cinema or in your living room. Moreover, these forms skip over the boring parts by editing them out: You don’t have to watch a character traverse the stairs, sidewalk, subway, and elevator to get from home to work. But in games, you are the character, and thus you must pilot him (or her, but usually him) through every detail that the simulated world demands.

Is this a passive aggressive way of asking to switch over to the movie review team??

They have a point, I hate the bit at the start of every game where you have to brush your character’s teeth and get dressed and shave and eat a bowl of cereal one spoonful at a time and get in the car and drive for 40 minutes in heavy traffic to reach your target site before you can start shooting the mans
