mangame5: Back on topic: I thought of something that might occur to other people too. (Not necessarily with this game) There's this game called Don't Starve, where you're plopped in a large world where you have to survive through the night, seasons and as the title says, hunger. At first when I played it, the game was amazing. Most of the time I'd set up a camp and stay put until I'd die to some dumb thing I most likely caused.. Now, however, the way I play is completely different, because I know exactly what I have to do, what to look for, when and where. Sadly, this makes the game less fun, quite boring for me, actually.
I could probably come up with some other titles, but this would be the most pressing one, for me. Knowledge on how a game works, coming either from experience or other sources (I generally try to avoid wikis, at least early on), sometimes ruins everything and makes you want to forget your whole experience with it. (I mean this mostly on single-player games)
Ok, a short answer.
The first thing is, what do want from a game? Some people want to immerse themselves in the story (be it scripted or emergent). Some ant to understand and beat the mechanics, some want a "twitch challenge", reflexes, headshots...
JDelekto: I didn't nuke them, the humans just died out and the robots took over. Then they decided they had somewhere else to be.
That's interesting. As I said, it's really been I while since I've played it.
Man, that really would be a game worthy of a remake with today's possibilities...
