Can fuck around with non-game items in the level like toilets and sinks and hand dryers etc etc

Does anybody else just love this shit? Its even better if you can break those objects too or even use them in some way to fuck up an enemy.

You could draw with shit in DNF.
fun times.

It adds to immersion. Being able to pick up things in Deus Ex, turn off lights and such made you or me think. Think about it away from it. Really want to get back in.

Non standard interaction should have some reward though.

Aha, carrying around boxes to jump over fences and on things. Looking for secret paths and precious mods. Going everywhere for them. Also lore, which was thought material too. Really a game trying to be something meaningful and make the world better.

Also more exploration led to more empathy. Going away from UNATCO and to the people making an existance…

Not prepared for something good.

Everyone hoping "it'll be ok". Denied what they need.

Ah I can't get it.

Uncertainty that it will be ok.

The world as it is, beyond you. Everyone focused on their own life. Which is doomed.

I do get it.

Yes, but up to a limit.
I'm really sick of the "fumble retardedly with everything in the room" meme.

It rarely adds anything to the core game. Games are best when the focus on centralized mechanics. The closest any game got to making interacting with the environment an important part of its game play was something like HL2.

Actually, I take that back. the Yakuza games are the best example because they actually use it for meaningful gameplay related to games central elements and not as pretentious circlejerking of their technology.

If you find a secret it was meant for you. Unrekated to last post.

Things interesting to you lead you to something else.
Do it your way.

People were being denied their way, but they were still people.

A lot different now, regardless of situation people now are allied to degrading others and will never be free of that. A line has been crossed where they answered a question of how valuable was their life and answered with it not as important as enjoying dominance over others in joining a debasing group. Life not worth it being lost. So little lives.

What life done would be recorded by others and ruined through repetition. Possessed like the rest of stolen matter. Themselves gone as others act them.

So everyone is nothing.

What happened to China. Also some mystery there that some life is still present. Elaborate shields that have machanisms to prepare or judge entry. Or direct away, successfully and appreciatively.

Nobody that has in any way fortified psychology is able to be treated human again. Just part of machinery, like processes the result of lacking effort. Blaming others for deficiency in progress. Seeking to isolate existant things that may aid them, not just in greed, but in altering failure… like nazis… so anything they do is good to themselves.

Exposure to wrong. At least, it isn't little at all. Those suffering refused to join with ruining forces.

They instead were hurt by it. And that not redirecting whi they are, just starving them of all the Pcomplimentary stuff.

No thrown away teddy bears. Patched old ones cared for. Still an ability to love… Seeing a bin filled with them, just discarded, a lot like that. Failed them, such became a lie to them.

Not peoples fault who they are, their environment nescessitates their actions. No jump to sentiment. Environment showing what is wrong.
No relief, just seperation from wrong, suffering instead of causing it makes the sufferer emathisable. Hugs are a joke, lawyers and such, acting as if something is ok does nothing but offer lies. Making it better is something. And that will be known as a temporary improvement to be enjoyed in the moment, a kind of offering too though to dream of things being better and to be there instead.

Fix things behind the scenes. Don't get hopes up, don't push them down.

Need to know if you can do something. Look for what you can do, need something you can do.

Like them, shoot a basketball.

Stop a pimp, save a girl.

Get cures.

Most people would want to stay with UNATCO like that power. Good pilot, nothing too heroic, just duty. Still at work. Not understanding just that's who people are. They do things for their reasons. Use what offers itself to aid you in going deeper into the problem.

A Deus Ex like game could have a very long way before problems are fixed. Long waits and expansive areas. You may have fixes in mind, but no way to them, so help everything you are confronted with or choose to. What you can you should do. Forward progression a secret. Understand the problem deeper, more reason to fix it. See why it is happening. Who, how it can. Who What Where Why. When you get where you go, weary of defences. Higher paid security closer to a problem. More confrontational material. Temptation should be an absurdity by then.

No happy ever after, just things not getting worse by the problem you address. A trap perhaps to go on forever to problems, just led by them, and to fix problems.

More than problems. Enjoy things. Some things will be gone with a problem fixed. Some beauty in that.

Nothing beautiful about greed though. Nor distributing things. Just in leaving them be. If you can help do, if it is obvious.

Shouldn't have a lot. Like being tied down. Making anything wrong, and glorifying chains. Things belong with who treasure them the most, not as options but a portal they have gone into and it into them.

Things aren't prizes. They are tools that need to grow or participate in a story. Their offering while desperate… things should stand out for you. What you like, useful. No taste and functional too perhaps, already deeming yourself a bad story for things.

Things helping you is, luck, chance. May make them more for being part of your movement. Specialised to fix things, but only for hands like yours. May make them less if they slow you down or build safety for you. Not their fault. Useful things a temptation to let them dictate actions. Natural progression may be ok though, or save you from mistakes.

Things may be ambivalent. Not for you, maybe against you in your incompetent use of them. You should be the one who can use them the best. Ignoring them is stupid though and like betrayal. In hindsight a lot if thibgs that are passed over would have made things possible not just easier.

Logical uses for items at least in a game. A lot more than distractions. See something with little chance of being found, carry it until there is a place for it to be. May come in useful along the way. Or definately won't be but shouldn't be destroyed. It would be nice to think things work out. Better journeys. People that can make better use of them. Go fuck it and carry everything anyway. Push things where they are meant to be and fuck any option to lighten the load.

Ha a game about having a soul. What traitors call going crazy. Be a good ending for someone to have died doing their best. Some fucking teddy bear in some drain being found by some kid.

The Darkness had movies on TVs in game. Stuff like that to just be in a place. People talking to eachother, something like that as the focus. Join in the conversation or join in just by being near them. Reacting to what you do, everything reacting to you and to the existant and subsequent actions of npcs. Continual effect too.

Could make a gane with hours or infinate subsequent actions. Not a gimmic related to gameplay, just more complexity to the place.

Minute to non existant continuations of that in going to an entirely different location far away. Maybe missing that and if returning having missed out on developments. Missing characters too. No new ones you don't care about though even if that is realistic. Introductions to new people perhaps. Going around, company influencing the vibe of a place. Weather, lights and ambiance all doing their part in making areas… have distractions everywhere.

Everything offering an enjoyable memory. Challenging ones could be a way to progressive interactions that continue the story eg going walking in the rain.

What the fuck
