toblix Posted October 14, 2007 I never had any illusions of completing it though. So, then my question would be "then why play it at all?" and I guess the answer to that would be something about it being fun, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noyb Posted October 14, 2007 Why play tetris? I'll never complete it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted October 14, 2007 Exactly! I know most people are able to (and indeed do) enjoy playing games that just go on and on until they get either too hard or too boring. Sometimes I have short periods where I play these games. Once I played Tetris a lot for about a week, and... well, maybe that's it. I'm still playing Picross, for example, but that's only because there's a finite set of man-made puzzles, and when I've completed them all I'll never play it again.

Nachimir Posted October 14, 2007 Fun, spot on. I was a little disappointed when (I think at about 30 - 40% in) I finally hit a level I just couldn't do or be arsed to practice enough to beat. But it had entertained me mightily up until that point and I didn't resent it at all. Rag doll deaths with sickening crunches thrown in help a little Advance Wars Dual Strike did the same thing to me - fun, but one of the campaign maps was just so arbitrarily hard I ceased caring about any of the game after it. In N, watching the replays from the high score table was also highly entertaining - there are some incredibly devoted/talented people out there, and they turn playing N into an awe inspiring feat.
