SHINAN'S PROFILE

Using GTA as an example of "not a power fantasy" is a really weird choice I have to admit. GTA games are like... the definition of gaming's power fantasy...

I have never played a single David Cage game. They always seem to show up on consoles that I don't own and then I hear a bunch of discussion about the games on the side that make me not all that interested in playing them. Even though their basic adventure gameiness should appeal to me. (Telltale games are basically David Cage games aren't they?)

The problem I hear is that the games aren't reactive enough. They sell the idea of reactiveness but they don't follow through on it. That's just what I hear.


Also for the longest time I confused David Cage with David Perry. I remember reading some article about David Perry during the development of Enter the Matrix. And then later when I read about Fahrenheit or Heavy Rain I thought "man, the dude who made Enter the Matrix and Earthworm Jim certainly took a turn."

By the way, does anybody have that essay Steel wrote before he died? The one about being good to each other.

Saltw has that archive where you might (or might not) find it. (if you do find it, I wouldn't mind a link)

EDIT: Doing a quick look through the archive it's been ten years this November...

EDIT2: Maybe it can be found somewhere in here: http://saltworld.net/forums/topic/6140-okay/
