View Full Version : Lose/lose DON'T PLAY THAT GAME!
http://pc.ign.com/articles/102/1027666p1.html
It's a good idea to be a real [I don't think I can write this word] with your enemies.
DON'T PLAY THIS GAME! YOUR FILES WILL BE DELETED.
What an odd game, the only way to win, is to not play at all...

That's...insane...
But it makes sense, and is actually quite a powerful project.
I like it, and wish wholeheartedly not to play it.
EDIT:
I actually had an interesting thought, focusing specifically around what the guy they spoke to said: "This calls into question the player's mission, which is never explicitly stated, only hinted at through classic game mechanics. Is the player supposed to be an aggressor? Or merely an observer, traversing through a dangerous land?
Why do we assume that because we are given a weapon an awarded for using it, that doing so is right"
I had the thought that...imagine in the next GTA, or another Sanbox Title...every Civilian or non-enemy character that you killed, you'd lose 1 point on your gamerscore (or equivelent ranking system).
That is a very interesting prospect, i'd say its a bit too harsh to degenerate gamerscore or delete files unless it was disruption to other players.
I suppose that idea has been tried and tested fleetingly throughout the years, but I doubt that it'll ever hit shelves due to what it does, maybe conflicting with regulations. But the idea of implications on data has great potential, maybe an online game where opponents are dead for good?
I think it's a great idea. I want to play it.

I wish the aliens were the viruses on your PC. That way you could remove any without Norton.........

But imagine how NICE people would be in GTA games, if they knew that their gamerscore would deteriorate by killing innocent people?
Ofcourse, it'd only effect those that actually care about gamerscores, but it'd be quite interesting to see.

That'd be such a win idea...make an anti-virus programme that actually lets you destroy the viruses...

That'd be an interesting social experiment, actually, if they heavily modified GTA to have a negative effect on doing wrong with there being no rewards for doing right. It'd come in to question wether or not dodging the negative effect outweighs that of doing a genuine good deed with no promise of rewards.
Maybe effects like a timed lock out to emulate Jail time?

Awesome
I wish i had ideas like that
But imagine how NICE people would be in GTA games, if they knew that their gamerscore would deteriorate by killing innocent people?I already play in that way...
Thats one of the coolest games i ever saw, i want to play it so hard! But not on my pc... maybe the school one :D
Has anyone thought about backing up their hard drive and giving it a go?

The chances are, that'll be how some people have gotten a massively high score in the scoreboard.
Either that, or some computer smart people have figured out how to bypass it.
Are you talking about the first in rank? With 4 294 967 295 points?
It's a cheat. That number is the maximum available with a 32bit integer, and if it were real he should have played FOR DAYS...

Actually. 1 point per alien. So less than an alien per seconds. They'd be playing for a lifetime.
