Game: GTA San Andreas
Date: 3rd Feb - 2014
Time: 10 - 11pm
The next mission was to save Sweet from a gun battle. I was advised to load myself before the battle, but I had enough weapons from the last drive-by shootout against the Ballas. I reached the shootout spot. I had to kill the players who had a red arrow pointing over them. I just drove over them. It reminded me of a scene in the move 'The Pianist', where a German officer runs his vehicle over the Jews without any remorse. The sound of the bones crunching under my tires felt a little annoying. It actually felt unrealistic. I wondered if a person in real life would come under a car, how would the driver and the victim react? Im sure the pain will be excruciating and will make the victim scream to the top of his lungs. However, I was skewing away from the magic circle of the game by thinking more rational. Finally I thought, 'these are gangstas, they are born rough and tuff', and got back to being bad.
Tired with the missions, I went wandering around the city. I used some cheats to get into some action. The responses from random NPCs in the game always feel fresh and funny. 'Underwears are overrated', said a random person when I walked out of my house after saving the last mission. I did not enjoy playing the missions this time. It felt repeated and silly. I've noticed that the game doesn't reward the player much. Maybe this is the reason why some people enjoy doing more random things than playing the missions. I took a sniper and began shooting people from a very far range. It was funny to see some people running in fear and some others walking casually as if nothing took place. Finally I was 'wanted' 4 stars and the helicopter started chased me. I took my bazooka and shot it. After a few moments, an entire army of police were behind my tail. I crashed in the divider and got arrested. What next? Alt+F4
