Interesting description of 'hoops' in the article complaining about killing in games, at least for some - killing people sent to kill you isn't that bad. I guess I don't really play the kinds of games he's talking about that much, as I don't really have a problem with it. It is funny to think of how many people Max has killed in the two games I played (1000 or so?), but it is a shooter so comes with the genre.
Though it was satisfying in Dishonored to knife a guard in the neck, at least in the last mission.
