Games: fun, yet short
May. 24th, 2010 05:39 pmSo I played 12 hours of demo games 2 days ago, then a morning of bought games yesterday, then bought games today. And now I have finished 5/7 of the games I bought.
Games go *fast*.

Books don't change on re-read neither, so have theoretical zero replay value... actually no, there's a different experience once you know the ending. I haven't found a game that did that thing some stories do where it's a whole different game once you know the ending. In fact thus far I've been stuck knowing the ending and knowing my character is being a dumbass but the game insists upon it. A whole bunch of games have you working for the bad guy for part of it even while making it real clear they're the bad guy. What's up with that? Is feeling smarter than your character really such a fun experience? Or do they each seperately think they're adding an interesting twist?
All this quickness is making me miss Cake Mania. I tried reinstalling that and replaying it. It still has all my game data even though I did remove program. And it still has all the glitches and stuttering. I'm going to have to figure out how to delete it more thoroughly and start again from the beginning and hope that fixes it.
Is reading about other people's games more boring than reading about other people watching TV? I guess TV shows happen so millions of people watch at once. I do not know of a game that does that.
