Actually it ha...I am addicted to lords and knights. Actually it has become a stress buster. I am now sending commands during my cigarette breaks in between really big negotiations. This all started after I read this blog. I thought that I'll post some of my ideas but instead I wanted to try synchronous games first. I am an old guy trying to catch up with fun generation.<br /><br />I tried Crisis 3, players kept leaving as I was bad at it. I think my team won only 3 times. I tried Black ops the latest one. God- everyone is a jumping jack in there. Forget it. <br /><br />I tried to look for world of tanks. I cannot play on my Macbook pro without some third party software tweaking my OS to install and run an .exe file. Hope they come with mac version. I'll surely try.<br /><br />As mentioned by the blog writer its a different experience altogether with synchronous and asynchronous games. <br /><br />Today I came across an interesting article on BBC. Hope you game makers read BBC too.<br /><br />Very Interesting:- http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-23572742Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12810864925262074401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677978065423524987.post-83494363942500804552013-08-20T13:53:24.445-07:002013-08-20T13:53:24.445-07:00The idea of having an agent play you in a game is ...The idea of having an agent play you in a game is interesting, for example when you are at work. You might be excited to see what has transpired throughout the day. A game with more choices is complex to build, --especially for synchronous play. The chemical neural nets of the brains still react faster than the most advanced processor, having to do with the data streaming that we call intuition. The ability to subconsciously combine many verbal and nonverbal signals at once combined with past experiences and the ability to use fuzzy logic make play fascinating. <br />Though I'm not so certain that I would want an algorithm to distill my profile. We all want to be heroes in our fantasy worlds, the algorithm may limit us in our abilities and potentials to learn from the game and become better.

I noticed the trend as well, and it makes me wonder where it could be going in the future.<br /><br />An asynchronous player is represented in the game universe by his 'agent' which is defined by the players history, or whatever other data is available.<br /><br />Imagine a facebook app that has an algorithm to distill your profile and who you are, and how you act into an agent that could represent you, In a game world or in the real world for that matter. This trend of asynchronous multiplayer is a way to get around schedules. It's like a reverse DVR or something, a pretty profound change I think in gamingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08436971311937430887noreply@blogger.com
