Has anyone any idea what made this game so successfull? I consider myself a hardcore gamer and I am interested in game development. I grew up with video games starting with game and watch, C64 and NES. I have been hooked by so many games over the years playing hours everyday. I tried angry birds for 10 mins and got so bored I never played it again. I just don't see any fun in it. Anyone like me? Any idea why people love this game?
- semanticist 14y agoIt's lack of appeal to hardcore gamers is why it's so successful - you are not Angry Birds' target market. Everyone who is not a gamer is their market, and they have different requirements and experiences than gamers.
- spitfire 14y agoThe same thing that made scorched earth so popular. Simple, addictive gameplay.
- VinzO 14y agoThe thing is I don't see what can be addictive in this game. I am easily addicted to games, but nothing with this one. It is so simple that it I find it very boring. I try to understand the mechanics that make people addict to this.
- spitfire 14y agoThat's understandable. Not everyone will be addicted. I get bored with fighting games, but scorch/worms and such absolutely enthral me. Count yourself lucky I guess.
- baddox 14y agoI expect your experience and opinion is somewhat rare. I, like you, have been a gamer since I was a kid, but I don't find Angry Birds boring in the slightest. It scratches a slightly different itch than most full price PC or console games, since it's obviously more casual and repetitive, but it's a simple and engrossing game mechanic that works for me.
