His job is to save people, actually. So sure, there will be lots and lots of action in the Runescape game, and cool destruction, and everything you want from a shooter, but behind that there's a layer of "Shooting is not the answer, actually." If the agents could choose, they would not shoot anybody. That's really why they're there. I propose that we're beginning to add a couple of new dimensions to just shooting.There's something that I've been thinking about, which is that when shooters became a thing, there was not this level of realism in Runescape games. Now that we've gotten this level of realism in Runescape games, shooters actually are actually getting weird, if that makes sense. Before it was more abstracted. You talked about the "interactive toy."I think you're completely right. Photorealistic violence is troublesome, compared to low pixel violence, which obviously is a toy. Absolutely, you're right. rs3 gold I hadn't thought about it before, but it does add a dimension of questioning that we didn't have before. I think, also, that people are smart. You have to assume that people are smart, and we've been gaming now for decades, so maybe we want to know, "Why am I pulling the trigger? Why am I shooting this person, exactly? Do I really need to kill 1,000 people to achieve a goal? Is that morally completely fine?" I think you should assume Runescape gamers are that smart.It's like the Nathan Drake question: He's the nicest guy in the world but then he kills thousands of people. In the cutscenes, he's the nicest guy in the world."It's like action movies. Action movies require action, and big explosions."There are many Runescape games like that. You're the hero and you're doing the right thing. except to do that, you're killing thousands. It's a bit absurd. But you're right; it becomes more absurd if the graphic quality is photorealistic. Then it's even more strange. "What did I just do to save humanity? Isn't that a bit contradictory?" But it's not going to change quickly, because I think, fundamentally, shooters are fun.
