As someone who is into games and works in the games industry, I desire that games push forward and try new things. And it's easy for my vision to narrow, as the nature of my work requires analysis of your indies and your blockbusters. My peers have takes. I have to have takes. I am surrounded by thoughtful writing and criticism here (well, most of the time).
Cut to my normie friend passing me the controller in Call Of Duty: Blacks Ops 6's campaign. It is out of sheer frustration that he's done so, because he simply doesn't have time for a stealth mission. He is angry that the game requires him to be patient and think, instead of waving him into a series of tunnels where soldiers will run at him, and he, a blender, will pulp them into oblivion. I haven't had my eyes opened in such a manner before.
