sabranon 10 DOS Gamer Fan Location: United States Member Since: 13th Oct 2007 Posts: 9	Posted - Sunday, 9^th March 2008 - 11:43 I was thinking about all the different types of games I play. Board games, FPS, RPG, sandbox, sims, turn based strategy, all different kinds, and I found I am having a hard time determining what kind of games I like to play outside of 'good'. So it came down to 'What do I want in a game?' And the answer is...I don't know. So I am curious as to what others are looking for in a game.

Stefan 123 DOS Gamer Fan Location: United States Member Since: 16th Feb 2008 Posts: 122	Posted - Sunday, 9^th March 2008 - 17:33 I've been going for the old platform games. Flimbo's Quest, James Pond, B.C. Kid, Magic Pockets, Rainbow Islands... Really cheesy stuff like that, which would be considered in today's gaming market to be lame, but it's what I was playing as a kid, so I guess I'd have to say for me it's about light-hearted fun and nostalgia!
onibara 102 DOS Gamer Fan Location: United States Member Since: 28th Sep 2007 Posts: 101	Posted - Sunday, 9^th March 2008 - 20:22 Fun...that is something that is missing from a lot of games. That is not to say that those games are not fun to play, but what I am getting at is there are so many serious games that refuse to laugh at themselves. That isn't true to life or to whatever world they are building. A moment of humor makes the drama more poignant, and accentuates the story. I know that sometimes when playing Final Fantasy, or somesuch thing, and they go off on some long overly dramatic statement, that I just want to kick something.
Stefan 123 DOS Gamer Fan Location: United States Member Since: 16th Feb 2008 Posts: 122	Posted - Wednesday, 12^th March 2008 - 09:17 Right... what I want in games is to play a game that is connected directly to my online bank account, and my points should be converted to cash and credited accordingly!(not like online gambling, I don't want to risk losing any money!) For example, Chaos Engine - Kill a monster, get 10 bucks! Thank you very much! Hell, make it a dime for each monster and I'd still be a millionaire by the end of the week!

Wow... just playing video games all day, then saying... "yeah that was cool" or "Nah... that was crap", and "where's my pay check?" Hell yes!

I work in a comic book store and I have to read comics all week so I can talk about them with the customers. I am tired of comics. I still like them, but I never get to read them for pleasure anymore. It's always work.
