No, I wasn’t disappointed because people didn’t like the game, or because they didn’t like it as much as I did. Rather, I was disappointed because so many people not named Mitch Krpata chose to criticize the game through the lens of player choice. People complained that they couldn’t kill the terrorists, or that they had to walk through the game a certain way, or that they were put in a ridiculous situation that they wouldn’t have chosen to put themselves in. In essence, a lot of people complained that the game didn’t let them be themselves.
If that’s what the most serious writers on video games honestly want from the medium, then, well, there really is no hope for it as an art form. Playing games to project your desires to be a noble soul is just as much a power fantasy as playing so you can experience the frisson of killing a prostitute you’ve just slept with. (Not that I haven’t done both.)
