Each pixel of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 oozes machismo, but these games are inherently wussy
A funny thing happened to me the other day while I was playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which, if you are not familiar with these things, is a game which you are involved in a bloody war. It is a very popular franchise, fans camped on the sidewalk to get a copy of the news, making the royal wedding of violent video games
Anyway, I have about a quarter of the way and he was "doing" a level based on Sierra Leone, which requires a bit of discretion and sneak around it. Who spend most of the game with several characters controlled by the computer, and I walked behind one of them, a mustache cranky soldier is supposed to be my friend when he suddenly goes "shhh" because he heard a guard the future.
therefore both stop, and the mustache of the man by surprise, pinned to the wall and stabs him right through the throat with a hunting knife, killing him instantly. Then the body touches the ground, his mustache, said "OK, let's go", and we sneak into the compound. Or rather, than previously thought. But I stopped after a few steps and returned to where he had killed the guard. I looked at the blood on the wall. And I thought, "I do not want to be friends with the man who did it."
Obviously there was no way to express a thought like that in the game engine, so I had to save me. Moments later, mustachioed man orders me up a watchtower and send a guard myself. I climb the stairs to find a man asleep in a chair. Only slept with his back to me. And when you walk near it that says "Press X to remove the guard," then press X, and instead of bonking him on the head, or maybe just persuaded my character also catches the keeper and stabs him right in the throat. And I thought, "I am not better than the mustache man. It was just a terrible thing to do "
Again, there was no way to explore these feelings in the game, so I have forgotten in favor of hiring mercenaries from my sniper rifle while a man mustache massive and his friend shouted "location of the son of a bitch" and just as awkward stimuli.
- do not mind the level of violence in video games, partly because it is absurd, and partly because I am desperate desensitized. What I do object to is the macho cock-rock that plagues games like this. If I had a nickel for every time that I spent the first moments of a game in the back seat of a transport vehicle listening to a soldier named Vasquez repeatedly using the word "bastard" would have enough money to buy Sesame Street game instead. And even that probably begins with Sergeant Grover Elmo warning privately that "shit is about to real."
Well, firstly, the games are inherently wussy. The stereotype of the player is an inaccurate stereotype dweeby glasses, but there is no denying the game is far from being a research pieces. Why play shooty-fighty out of their way to disguise that. Each pixel of Modern Warfare 3 oozes machismo. Everything is thick brass explosions, men in full swing and blowing each leg unshaven. However, consider what the game requires skill smoothly. To succeed, you must be expert in a cursor with the target theory and time series of push buttons. It is accurate and nimble fingers. As darning a sock in a hurry. Or create tapestries against the clock.
