I consider the time spent playing high quality games the least wasted. My favourite example is Halo 3. I'm playing it since the launch. Sometimes less but in general, it never got boring. If a take some good average of 8 hours a week, I think I played already arround 3000 hours. Yes 125 days straight is a lot, but it was a hell lot of fun and its still challenging. I also have to say I felt in love with the story. For me Halo 1-3 have the best story I have ever read, played and watched.
On the other side, when I was younger there were some browser games which sounded exactly like Clash. But after months or years of time I just discovered it's a waste of time. It was a never ending story and it consumed more and more time. There I learned that such long lives games are bad, dangerous but also boring in long term. Now I just stay away from them, its better.
What matters more to me, I am having a harder and harder time finding good games. Some many games are just boring and the same as all games before, but somehow worse. I think games have been better 5-10 years ago.
- rrecuero 10y agoI agree with you but it's difficult to pinpoint what makes a high quality game right? Story may be in the right direction. Although probably, we could not even agree on what makes a good story ;) For me I crave games that make me feel something new, something that I haven't seen before and enrich my life with the experiences. Last of Us, Journey, Heavy Rain, Bioshock are some of the recent games that triggered this evasive feeling. It is getting harder as you say to find this "veil piercing" games, but maybe it is just because we have seen more...
