Well I guess the title says it all, I was just wondering who ya'll thought were the most active 'forumers' in this part of the AG forum. Opinions, that what this Forum is going to be, pure opinions, and yes you can say 'Me'.

Alot of them just have annoying mazes and thing you have to do.


Actually most games are just grind, grind, grind. And the really annoying RPGs have mazes. The best RPGs are the ones that let you forget that you are in fact doing the same thing over and over again.

Then again, this theory isn't quite right... I love racing games, and that's pretty much the perfection of repetition for a fair portion...

I find the most important factor is re-playability...

Yeah, it lacks stuff to do once you unlock everything, lack of replay value, unless multiplayer.

I have to agree with you on replayability being important. Only being able to play a game once over doesn't make for good replaying.

Wow this thing is on the third page now!
Anyway it should be know by everyone that good games only last if they have great re-playability.
On a slight side note I think we may need to change the topic.

Classic games are way better then the ordinary retro game!

First rule of this thread: you do not talk about topic change.

...

TOPIC CHANGE!

I'll let you know right now that the recent directions of this thread has me interested in what a focus group on AG would have to say about certain psychological motivations and trends in gaming... perhaps what I mean will become clearer in the future.

If I get the topic...

All games with upgrades I like. Upgrades are so addictive.
You always get something better, and finally you reach the best and you feel, you feel the glory. And it's fun as hell going cruising down the highway in 300-400 km/h with the cops after you in NFS. Or kill the strongest enemy faster than you can blink in any strategy/action game.

^Hope I got that right, hmm..

Achievements.. Ah, some people love to be competitive and fight to outpeform their rivals. Achievements give these people another way of gauging their skill and bragging about their superiority.

Though they are quite addictive nevertheless.

That's how Microsoft get money from Halo 3, heh....
Once I played that at my friend's, I got 1/4 of all the achievements (I had played for 4 or 5 hours and my friend had played for half a year). That got me addicted (laughing at newbies).

Technically speaking I never said anything. Nor did I open my mouth (I breathe through my nose)
Upgrades are always fun
video games or not...

That makes no sense...

I have to admit, I do obsess over the upgrade system, it's one hell of an addiction. I have a feeling a lot of games would be played more if an upgrade system was added.

Every game I get the urge to get all those achievments sucks me in. Led to nearly three full days playing mario kart.

Pretty much anything where you can upgrade your skills and items or unlock new ones can be considered upgrade. Although I have to say Upgrade Complete is one my favorite games on this site.
