Me, probably. I have no particular interest in open-world games, mostly because they're usually 10-20 hours of content padded with 30-40 hours of backtracking, searching, and killing random enemies.

Am I wrong that your avatar, NMH also consist of open-world where you do mindless jobs for money??? I'm just a little confused about what you are saying here.


 NMH is basically linear in terms of its mission structure, and the "open-world" town is small enough that the backtracking and such is almost inconsequential. See also: The Darkness, another game which I greatly enjoyed.

 By "open-world games" I mean games like GTA and Crackdown, where the main draw is the open world.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
