identity is priceless Posted by poolboyjames on August 7, 2009 at 5:38 AM comments (0)i was thinking about video games in general today again and saying to myself "i'm tired of all these 'guy-with-a-gun' games"
what occurred to me though was the fact that the game industry is still suffering from the impact of grand theft auto gta3, vice city, san andreas, and gta4 have pretty much dominated this entire decade of gaming and so in gta's wake u obviously have clone after clone after clone after clone "oh gee, another free-roaming 3rd person game where a guy has a gun.. how innovative" the thing is this.. these companies see a successful game and seem to only see the outside surface.. "people bought that, so i'll make one just like it!" but the fact is, success is made up of principles and not a specific formula for example: gta3 was successful because it was innovative, not simply because it was a 'guy-with-a-gun' game thus a game company should say "lets make an innovative game" ..rather than saying "lets make a gta clone" the same thing goes for music... u have a successful artist and then u have 5billion cheap knock-offs.. i want u to think about what i'm saying next time u see a rapper talking about selling kilos when u know he works at UPS these rappers don't understand, its not a specific formula, its principles if emcee bust-a-cap is successful think about how he became a success did he associate with the right people? does he have a great charisma? is he a lyrical genius? does he choose the best beats? these are questions of principle.. non-specific questions about your role-model's conduct don't say "he is successful so i'm gonna cop that jacket he has on" or "he is successful, so i'm gonna sell crack like him" or "i'm gonna ride 20s like him" i guess in a sense i'm saying look at the root of the plant rather than the plant itself shoot for another person's success, use their success as a target.. but make sure u keep your identity, do it but do it on your own terms hopefully that made sense to somebody out there other than myself if not......? then i guess being a fake someone else is better than being a real you peaCe
