The long slow chase

Day two:

Am moving around nicely. Well unless something high stakes is happening. If I'm just wondering through the ruins picking up things, fine. I even put up a ladder today and helped put a plank over a chasm.

But when people are running at me? Trouble. For example, when I have to be crouching, moving through rubble, healing myself, keeping my gun on bad guys, and my partner is yelling, "Watch out behind you!" It's panic city and I spin around while looking at the sky while the sounds of carnage play out around me. Then I die.

So after a fierce fight in which I was shooting and punching and blood was all over my sight and I tied twice finally I got to chase a guy. I couldn't do it. I would chase him a while, loose him and it would all go black, just like I died, and I had to start over. So far I've tried to chase this guy nine times and everyone he's gotten away. Then it starts over with me trying to make a corner and missint it then standing there stopped by debris or tripping over tipped over garbage.

What surprises me as having never played a video game I thought that it was part of the distracted digital world where attention spans shrink because you are constantly being entertained with exciting things. But oh my, This takes focus. Lots of focus. More focus than I have. This is going to be hard.
