The fact is that the majority of our thoughts and behaviors are on autopilot. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing either. Our habits, routines, impulses, and reactions carry us through our lives so we don’t have to stop and think about it every time we wipe our ass or start a car.
The problem is when we’re on autopilot for so long that we forget we’re on autopilot. Because when we’re not even aware of our own habits, routines, impulses, and reactions, then we no longer control them. Whereas a person with self-awareness is able to exercise a little meta-cognition and say, “Hmm… every time my sister calls me and asks for money, I end up drinking a lot of vodkas.
In the trailer we see Colt kill the Visionary on the beach, and it looks as if he’s been successful in doing so. Then it’s revealed that Colt has been missing for years, and that he’s now hiding out in a hotel somewhere in the desert. It’s obvious that he’s in a really bad way. He’s definitely not someone who would go running around the desert aimlessly.
The reason Colt has been missing so much is so that his friends know that he’s a bad guy. I find it hard to believe that nobody would want to meet him for the first time. Colt Vahn is a nice guy.
There are so many stories about what to do with Colt Vahn. He’s a smart little guy who can read the sky, and his friends are all pretty angry about his disappearance.
Colt’s friends are a little bit more forgiving. They realize that Colt is going through a lot of changes. His friends are actually really nice guys. They want to help him get better and are really supportive of him. But they also see that he is really, really sick. And that he has no one to turn to. Thats where our hero’s friends have decided to do something drastic. They are going to help him run away from his sick existence and try to take away his memories.
It’s a pretty good premise. You can definitely see the appeal of a story like that. It’s so well written that I don’t know how it could possibly lose out on the appeal.
For the time being, I think the appeal is in the idea that we as readers are the heroes. Colt and his friends are doing what they feel they have to do to help him get better. And I think the appeal of that is that they are not making him do what they want him to do. They are making him do what they need to do. Which is to take away the bad memories and replace them with good ones.
At the end of the day, I think the appeal of the story is that we are the heroes. We are the ones that they want to save. We are the ones that they want to help. We are the ones that are going to be getting the bad end of the stick if they don’t succeed.
This is the first time I’ve seen a sequel to a game where I didn’t like the first game. The first Deathloop was really interesting because it was a game that made you think about your own actions and how you interact with the world. You were never surprised when you killed someone, and the whole game was basically based around that. Deathloop is a game where you are the bad guy, and you are not a bad guy.
