We'll blow me down, when I'm playing a game, I'm of the mindset that I AM the person that I am controlling... I don't think, oh I'm telling Solid Snake where to go, he'll be mad at me if I go the wrong way!
Why do my triggers vibrate when I fire a gun then, if I'm just "controlling the strings". Surely by your logic, that's retarded also?
In make-believe world, you can be whatever you want to be! Personally I like turning a big cardboard box upside down, cutting holes in the front, painting wheels on the side and pretending I am a big fat bus driver.
No ones saying your opinion isn't valid fella.
It'll be in a minority now though, everyone's bored of the happy clapping, wafting and pretending that you are doing banal stuff by doing vague actions that aren’t really relevant.
Yup. The gimmick that is the suggestion of motion and implied interaction "WOW LOOK HOW INTERACTIVE THIS IS" is childs play. The gimmick was long over, probably back around duck hunt time. It's good that developers are always looking for new ideas but until we have true VR or control through suggestion by the mind then I think we should just accept that gameplay should be confined to the fingers and thumbs for now.
