| Metallicube said: Hmm, well over the years, I seemed to have become far more selective and conservative in my game purchases, as I find there are fewer and fewer that I am enjoying. Last gen and early this gen, I bought several Gamecube/Wii/Xbox 360 games on impulse. Now I've started to take a step back and make sure I really want this game before buying. I have also begun to despise games with long load times, tutorials, cutscenes, etc. Basically anything that holds up my actual PLAYING of the game.I was at one point REALLY looking forward to Dead Rising 2 for instance, but when my cousin let me borrow it and I played through it, it was almost unplayable to me from all the long load times, endless cutscenes, etc. I also find that I am starting to dislike games that limit my freedom, and am embracing more open world games such as Oblivion, Fallout 3, Minecraft, Diablo 2, Starcraft, etc. I am also finding I am diverting my tastes from most console games and towards smaller games on XBL Arcade, Iphone, PC, etc, as well as playing more retro games. So I guess I am sort of falling back towards the category of "oldschool gamer," with those kinds of values. |
My thoughs too...
Above: still the best game of the year.
