How Wart Look When Dying

GiocoSoloForzaMotorsport

(di Luigi Marrone)

Diff icile non sentirsi protagonisti, nei videogiochi. 
Per quanto l’abbiano deriso, bistrattato e odiato, persino Raiden s'è sentito protagonista, in Sons of Liberty. Gli stava sempre un passo avanti, quel fighetta di Snake, ma ciò non gli ha impedito di gonfiarsi l’ego, alla fine del giro. Pompato come un androide tutto cibernetico pronto a spaccar tutto, peggio d’un Kratos crudo e bellicoso, uscirà presto uno spin off, con Raiden. E a quel punto la platea sarà tutta per lui, senza nessuno Snake tra le zampe.
It 'hard to feel lost, in video games. It 'really hard that something goes wrong in the end. The poetry lies in the image, landscapes, encounter between music and action. And 'this is usually to warm the soul. Or perhaps the poem resides in a movie Kojima, long and controversial. But that's film, not video game. I like Halo 3 ODST because at some point part of the music O'Donell, in a building in New Bombas. There's nothing to do, just cross the aisle in the dark with the music all orchestrated. That's it. And I'm really fine music, including Martin O'Donell, admittedly.
But I did not buy at launch, Halo 3 ODST. I did not buy at launch, Peace Walker. I did not buy at launch Borderlands, Wii Super Mario Bros 2 or FEAR. If I have to take them as works of art, video games, which are at least original, I tell myself. They have to offer me something worth collecting now, right now. I give dashes avant-garde, I ask. What else is a mess. That otherwise it takes me a second, I, to deny it, the word entertainment. Why study them well, video games, there's too much reminding the crash with his own ethical and existential I, with their own personal intransigence. They come and that is why called entertainment products. T'intrattengono, of course, as an escort, as a entreneuse in a room a bit 'in. € 60 and you're done. The ultimate meaning of things is good that went. Del reflect on the deeper meaning of what is under your nose t'accade, living your days, desires, ambitions, poisons and disruption, you can forget it.
That 's what adults, as steeped in culture and immersed in video games, it makes it difficult to accept. Because if the game is the message deve pur dir qualcosa, vero? Un libro io lo so dove vuole andare a parare. E anche un film, alla fine, sa quali tasti vuole andare a toccare. Ma la maggior parte dei videogiochi io non so proprio dove vuole andare a parare. Qui sta il guaio. A doverne distillare l’essenza, dopo aver finito un Dead Space, un Red Faction o un Halo 3 ad esempio, mi resta solo il brivido action di un universo autoreferenziale, i cui organi interni, sezionati chirurgicamente e ben disposti su di un lettino d’acciaio, mi parlano di niente.  Mostri, esplosioni, zombie, boss e super-azioni assurde e patetiche, à la Hollywood. In pratica, il niente. Che lascia freddi.
They know that scary of a void increasingly m'intima counting the time that I spent.
It's not nice, this, to a passion. It is not nice, that, for the game. You're cool to move the aesthetic or narrative on the symbolic, or political. To see the destruction of the Red Faction miner Alec Mason as a message of propaganda for an armed struggle to sessantottino memory. And you're cool to see the look on Alan Wake el'onirica metaphor of nightmares and the efforts that a writer has to deal with, as a writer, when the mind and the distortion effects metempsicotiche all reality implodes in the literary symbol.
Almirante Berlinguer and offer more, Red Faction. The Center for Studies in Parapsychology much more intimidating, Alan Wake.
The truth is that what the game really gives the human soul, in terms of construction, it is quite irrelevant. In short, not recommended because they do not need. This message will never varied, the game, even when life is confidence, failure, disillusionment and pessimism? Or will it only ever victory, domination, and the Rule gamerscore?

Basta coi videogiochi, quindi. E’ un periodo questo in cui voglio solo correre al vento, veloce, più veloce di tutti. E dimenticare.

Gioco a Forza Motorsport, io.
E va benissimo cosi.
