I've yet to see a video game that let's me interrupt the cut scene and shoot someone that the designer didn't designate as a target, or to kick open a door that didn't fit in the design budget... video games don't yet do a better job they do a different far more superficial job. <br /><br />Don't get me wrong I love video games I beat MW3 before my teen son did.JDJarvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691101939920824546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170674472098446028.post-83441314813313141332011-12-25T05:37:08.536-05:002011-12-25T05:37:08.536-05:00All you say is true, but I feel like you're de...All you say is true, but I feel like you're deliberately misinterpreting the original comment.

Surely no one can be surprised by that statement, right? That's a segment of the market which tabletop RPGs once owned and will never own again.Justin Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02227895898395353754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170674472098446028.post-85086700937021724082011-11-28T11:15:32.276-05:002011-11-28T11:15:32.276-05:00Preach it.
