zeogold: Oh, a sandbox game? Eh. I don't particularly care for games that lack a clear purpose unless it's a fighting game or something. I'll pass.
Plus: I'm broke, man!
Crewdroog: how..can..you.. not..like..sandbox..... those are the best games! run amok and destroy everyone and everything, or do quests or figure out the meaning of life, the universe, everything. linear games are for mice ;)
Well, it's not that I don't like them, it's that:
1. I'm not a very creative person outside of word stuff.
2. I like a feeling of satisfaction/completion from my games.
3. There's not enough puzzly stuff.
4. I try to avoid the soul-sucking games where I'll spend some hundreds of hours and get no sense of achievement out of it. I already learned my lesson on that with a few MMOs that eventually just died out altogether just as I was getting good at them. The euphemism himself told us he spent a Sachysing 400 hours on it.
