I certainly don't want to get angry or frustrated due to gaming. That's not what hobbies are for. If I know that a certain game is not as well received (Darkest of Days) or will piss me off with superhuman AI (Sniper Ghost Warrior), too many enemies (Earth Defense Force) or other reasons I won't waste my time with countless of retries and just quickly play through it on easy. I only want games that I really like to be challenging and that's when I additionally play on one of the harder if not on the hardest mode (CoD, Halo, Alan Wake, FIFA, Crysis, Gears of War etc.). I usually have several games started within the same period and if the game doesn't make me play further on its own, I'm going to play something else and when I come back to it one day, I'd need to put effort into learning the controls again, which probably leads to even more failing. |
People have different definitions of fun. I for one, have difficulty enjoying a game when I'm constantly being spoon-fed like a child and not given a chance to figure things out on my own.
