Mindless slaying and trash picking

[chefkey]

So yeah, I'm still griping about the poor bosses balance but I've got a new pet peeve. I get well past Lagon and I'm cruising but it started to hit me. I've played games like this before. Non stop hordes of enemies, just enough firepower and it's all you do. Clear the room, look at trash loot, none of which is better than what you have. Rinse and repeat. I shut it off.

Its not much different than a post apocalyptic game, just fantasy based.

No, it bored the piss out of me. It is mindless drivel and if such boredom interests you I'm sorry.

the nature of farming games. mmos are in the same boat.

feels pointless, not that any kind of progress in any game means something - it will be trashed sooner or later. in ARGPS the recycling wave is very small, every 3 months. in mmos with each addon.

get rid of the mindeset that you can complete games. if the process is no fun and it starts feeling like work, uninstall. don't play games where you have to prepare your char for 100hrs to see the fun content.

gaming got very overwhelming, too many games offered. people fall for the trap like small kids do when they have too many toys. they collect, sort, manage but never settle down and actually play.

this is what arpgs are supposed to be like. in fact if they are harder youll burn out more becauser burnout is based on difficulty vs reward. there should be less grrinfd in empowered monos but i dont think your there yet
