AndyB Posted September 6, 2005 A long time player of video-games, I'm starting to wonder -what-is-the-point- of it all. What do you get out of games? Do you feel that it is just pointless "jumping through hoops"? Convince me that there are still good games worth playing (and not just SNES games). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted September 6, 2005 What is this, like the fifth "video games are doomed!" thread? Why play video games if you don't see the point? Go make friends, or something. When I don't feel like being entertained by interactive entertainment, I just go out and have a drink with my friends. Or draw or something. However, I do get the need to just play something. And then I usually go and play something that I enjoy playing. And that, to me, is good enough of a point to play something. Enjoyment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vimes Posted September 6, 2005 " Alternative games? Games you ignore (licenses, kid's games). Game Boy Micro? Why? Why games feel irrelevant?" WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?! If you're so convinced that games suck just stop playing. Jeez. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you feel that it is just pointless "jumping through hoops"? Convince me that there are still good games worth playing (and not just SNES games). Replay Grim Fandango. Hell, play Katamari Damacy. The sequal comes soon. That'll be awesome. We can't convince you though. The only way for you to see that games are worth playing is to play the good ones. This isn't Reading Rainbow on PBS, and I don't know about the others, but I'm not in the buisness of helping to cure the disillusionment of others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyB Posted September 6, 2005 Ah yes, sorry guys just feeling like a very grumpy gamer at the moment. I'll probably order Katamari via amazon when I next get paid. Feel free to close this thread if it gets too flamey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndyB Posted September 6, 2005 Examples: Half-Life 2: signing away our future rights and ushering in a new era of EULs. Steam is awful. Great game, but very shortlived, too linear, gravity gun underused. Too short and haven't heard of any good mods yet. Doom 3: good to start with, very dull and boring afterwards, stopped at the monster with the flying lights. (To be fair I knew I shouldn't have bought it before I did). Last time I looked there were very few single-player levels / mods. Yoshi's Island (gba): OK but not as good or as fun as Super Mario World. Everything from the music to the colours aren't as enjoyable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
