| At the Last E3 Ever, while I was idly watching someone do something in Hellgate: London (the screen was dark) I was approached by someone from FASA who wanted to talk about Shadowrun. Having just learned that there was no single player content and that the game was not set in the continuity Gamers Of The Book expect, I put my mind in cruise control and let my lower order functions manage the interaction. I wasn't ready to have a conversation about it yet, least of all with this hooded executioner of the franchise. He then said something about it being like Tribes, which caused my humours to boil. You don't just get to say something like that. You don't get to hold up your filthy handkerchief and call it the Shroud of fucking Turin. Now, having played it at my own pace and not in the pandemoniac hall of some trade show, I know what he meant - and he's not wrong. Indeed, I was wrong, and then I compounded it by being rude. Heading across the lake to play it some more today, hopefully I'll come back with the good word. |
