The pleasures of the open-world game are ample, complicated, and intensely private; their potency is difficult to explain, sort of like religion, of which these games become, for many, an aspartame form. Because of the freedom they grant gamers, the narrative-and mission-generating manner in which they reward exploration, and their convincing illusion of endlessness, the best open-world games tend to become leisure-time-eating viruses.
I completely agree here, this game opens up a vast world of exploration and adventure that anyone can see. You get to choose what you want to do and how you do it

Why now can we not have a serious national conversation about sacrifice, the inevitability of sacrifice—either of (a) some portion of safety or (b) some portion of the rights and protections that make the American idea so incalculably precious?In the absence of such a conversation, can we trust our elected leaders to value and protect the American idea as they act to secure the homeland?
How long can we keep avoiding this talk? Why doesn't the gov. just tell the people their plan and the truth instead of hiding whats happening..

What if we chose to regard the 2,973 innocents killed in the atrocities of 9/11 not as victims but as democratic martyrs, “sacrifices on the altar of freedom”?
Deep thought.
