The moment I actually realised I no longer cared about videogames was while playing Ghost Recon. |

The first one? |

| Yeah. I actually had a fair amount of fun with the multiplayer on both Ghost Recons, but there was a moment in the first one where I started some mission or other and I was so terminally bored I turned round and, in true gamer fashion, shot my teammate in the face. What pissed me off is that the rest of the squad didn't react at all. In that moment, I realised I could no longer accept the contrivances that all videogames use to construct an immersive world. And so I murdered the rest of my comrades, one by one, and then turned the console off. I played other games after that, some fairly obsessively, but never again could I play through a linear single-player. |

That irked me a bit as well, but I'd usually go Leeroy Jenkins on the terrorists way too often to actually justify having a backup team to help me... so that wasn't really a problem that ever came up :p
If anything, I'd only use them to do menial tasks I couldn't be arsed to do myself, and even then I'd make sure they were as cautious as possible, because it often felt like they were playing for team Tango :mad: |
