Not to join in the dogpile, if there is one... but this really reads like "It's really striking how unchallenging the game is once you remove all of the challenge." I mean, yeah, that's true. Agreed Did you have a point beyond that? You're removing the challenge, which is what makes the game fun
you, like so many others, seem to be misreading "busywork" as "every single aspect of the game". why is that
I was just reading your other messages... If you had started off talking about how irritating it is to "grind" on video games, you'd find more support You did actually use the word grind in your post but I'm talking the generic term "grinding" wrt video games What you describe is "grinding away"
I think it's probably just a matter of the vocabulary you used.
Oh & I liked this. Like I say, I didn't want to add into any gamergate dogpile or w/e The games that I play, when I cheat... stop being fun Comparing cheating to e.g. a mobile game that puts ads in between you & the fun parts of the game is confusing the issue Sounds like you're mostly mad at ads
