The point he tried to make that this demo didn't show any gameplay. It just showed the world in what was basically an interactive cut scene. He expressed his worries that if this is how the majority of the game is played it will rob the player of any freedom and basically turn the game into an interactive movie. It's a valid concern as it has recently become a trend in games to take away the actual gameplay and replace it with quicktime events, cut scenes or scripted events on which the player has no influence. I think it's a good column that addresses something that I feel all gamers will be influenced by and should maybe be worried about if they feel similar about this new trend in gaming.
