In this article, Kombo delves into the reasons why we play games, and believe it or not, we don't just game for fun.
Reunion is the big-screen remaster of Crisis Core that so many have asked for since the original game was released. For those who shun the smaller screens of handheld gaming, this will be their first time experiencing this early chapter in the ongoing Final Fantasy VII saga. The big question is, is it worth the wait?
A new Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion Play Arts Kai figure is coming this summer, with pre-orders closing today!
Cloud Strife and Zack Fair are two deeply beloved characters in the Final Fantasy 7 universe, but which one is the better protagonist?
Both are great. Zack was the reason how Cloud became who he is, is just a really fun character and had to go through a ton of struggle so I do rate him a bit higher. Can't wait for the two to perhaps fight with or against eachother in the next part or two in the remake games.
I game for the girls.
...Maybe I should pick something else.
I play games as a mean of entertainment (fun) that is more interactive than movies and also to provide momentary respite (as in fantasy world) from the mundane day to day work life.
many of developers semm to leave out the fun factor / or cool factor as i call it
I'm always looking for that can't put down game. The last one I played was Jeanne D'Arc on the PSP where I would try and play it whenever I had a spare minute and looked forward to coming back. Kind of like a good book.
Sadly, I don't find as many of those as I did when I was younger. Not that other games aren't fun. I usually enjoy pretty much anything I'm playing, but I don't find myself wishing my current game du jour had 10 more hours of playtime. When they are done, I'm usually pretty satisfied.
I also find the anticipation of a new game is nearly as much fun as playing it. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I like to buy a game(s) before I have a chance to play it and keep a small little stack as a reminder of what's to come. I bought Oblivion GOTY edition last October and have yet to play it. Not that I don't want to, in fact I'm looking forward to it more than most games I have but it's a nice reminder of something fun I've got coming up.
I also have a thing about completing a game. I feel a bit of guilt if I quit a game early and usually try and come back and finish it. No idea why, some games lose their luster early on or just fall into a repetitive trap. Probably fall into the category of those that have to finish a book even if it sucks.
I play games, so that I can get my mind off from office and university. I felt games really helped me to relax and release my tension. Imagine killing your boss in a game:P
