‘Living worlds’ What is living about them? You mean that man by the water tank goes to bed, gets up, after dreaming of Nicole Kidman on a cold afternoon? That he eats breakfast everyday, soon followed by a reads of The Sun, or some other tabloid?
No. That’s not what ‘a living world’ is. A living world is one that simply shows you what it wants you to see. So, in a sense that is a real world, but that’s enough of political ramblings. I mean since when did a game let you lie in? Never - that’s when! Don’t people ever get knackered? Eh? I mean that Link. He runs around all day, never has to ‘relieve himself ’ *cough* or go to bed. Or sleep. Or eat. But hey, he gives us great games, so it’s cool. But neither do the other people. GTA3 offers a living world. Er, yeah okay. Hundreds of people about at 4.06am? I don’t think so!
I propose that a living world of a game should exist. For a really lazy person! Bored of your own life? Play somebody else’s! Get fired from your job with no real side effects (unless you play it too much!) Eat what you want, when you want and do all the stuff you never dared to before. That what I call a ‘living world’. A world to ‘live in’ do things, do stuff that you normally do, just under an alias of somebody else. Lie in. Eat chips. Run around naked in the street. Whatever! So, a game makes this, and so you get to play as somebody else and ‘live’ Sims mixed with the lost Sex, Drugs and Rock’n’Roll? Maybe. But it’d be good fun.
Or. Stop whining about un-original, immature/too mature, boring, sequel-riffic, pointless games, play them for what they are, and then live in your life. I’m not inviting you to run around naked, but just go and live.
But play games too.
