beccaelizabethI think I'm going to have to ban myself from playing fashion games. At least in term time.
Satisfashion is more boring than the other two fashion games I have played.
For all of them the game play is about selecting the appropriate clothes against the clock.
But I can't figure out in this one if it matters at all what colors you choose or if things end up looking good at all.
There are four seasons and three styles and you pick clothes to match them. Also in Satisfashion you do makeup and pick shiny accessories. That's less cool though cause I could never figure out which were worth more, if any.
And then you earn style points, and then you can make new clothes. But only one each of trousers, skirts and tops per level, if you earn all the style points. And I couldn't figure out a consistent method to earn points.
I did get to make lots of clothes. Also I made some that look like a very femme Booster Gold, so that's nice.
I kept trying to figure out why I was even still playing, and I reckon it's because part of me is convinced it's a math problem, with optimisation possible. If, and only if, one can figure out how the scoring works and if it even matters if you make your own pretty things that suit the level, which I couldn't figure, it might just be about being quick, which would be incredibly dull. But if the designs you make yourself matter then once you know the pattern of seasons and styles, and what clothes items you can purchase and design are suitable for what, there should be an absolutely optimum way to do it.
... but I kept winning anyway, it's really simples, I don't see how you can not-win ever.
So I don't know why I care.
I do now have a piece of paper with all that relevant information (at least for the PC version).
But since I can't now play it again without buying it, and I've no intention of ever buying it, it will never ever be relevant again.
I may briefly miss my pretty clothes collections.
It's boring though because there's no story. And it's very short. And once you finish it you can't go around the world again, you can't go back, it's just Summer Trendy in Paris every time you click play.
Boring.
Also it broke after a while, clicking things wasn't working properly.
:-p to it.
... why I cannot quit things that are boring I do not know.
*facepalm*
right. I will now stop playing games and go back and check this whenever I wonder why.
... I typoed that 'I will not'. *sigh*
