A Gamer’s Manifesto

Instant-Failure Stealth Lev­els. Ack. This brings back hor­ri­ble mem­o­ries of a Gold­en­eye level where if you tripped an alarm, an infi­nite num­ber of bad guys poured forth. We knew a man who failed that level 37 times, then got the Infi­nite Health cheat for it and came back. He inten­tion­ally tripped the alarm, the guards rushed out. Laugh­ing mani­a­cally, he pro­ceeded to shoot those fuck­ers for four hours, killing 1,183 of them — 682 with groin shots — before his thumbs cramped up. Your game should not cre­ate this kind of bitterness.

Amen to that!
