Yeah and it doesn't seem that knowing about them makes any difference. I actively know that Diablo and other similar games are doing this and yet I find that I like it. The games do lose replay value over time a bit (I'm worn out on D3) but if you wait a while and go back it's fun again. For now, I'm playing similar games (Path of Exile, Grim Dawn) and finding I'm enjoying the different styles of art, even though it's essentially the same exact gameplay.
Maybe what I think is fun is more addiction than fun? Hard to tell. Obtaining random loot sure is addictive.
- mbrock 11y agoThere's a hymn in the ancient Rigveda scriptures, known as "Gambler's Lament." > The trembling hazelnut eardrops of the great tree, born in a hurricane, intoxicate me as they roll on the furrowed board. The dice seem to me like a drink of Soma from Mount Mujavant, keeping me awake and excited. > [...] > The dice goad like hooks and sting like whips; they enslave, deceive, and torment. They give presents as children do, striking back at the winners. They are coated with honey - an irresistible power over the gambler. http://www-personal.umich.edu/~pehook/226.gambler.html http://www-personal.umich.edu/~pehook/226.gambler.html
