Now you can move to page 4. Time to burn that book! :PJoseph Skyrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734014925489857811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170161199375200085.post-32242076529991817222014-02-02T14:56:45.369-08:002014-02-02T14:56:45.369-08:00Ever since A Tale in the Desert, I have learned th...Ever since A Tale in the Desert, I have learned that the best way to deal with waiting games is to play two or more of them at once.<br /><br />The game soon becomes "how many things can I chain together so that I have no more wait time..."Jeromaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206083433625986970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170161199375200085.post-16167920138888816922014-02-02T14:46:27.359-08:002014-02-02T14:46:27.359-08:00I quite enjoyed it for a while but when it crashed...I quite enjoyed it for a while but when it crashed I didn't feel any need to go back to it. I don't mind the "click and wait" mechanics but even after half an hour it already seemed very grindy and repetitive. I think the idea of these games is that the small variations, when they come, provide sufficient incentive for you to keep pushing on but after a short while I inevitably hit the same problem: if you're trying to tell a story, aren't there a whole lot better ways to do it than this?<br /><br />And if you're going to restrict yourself to nothing but words on a page, don't books already do it better than anything else we're ever likely to come up with?Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.com
