Question of the Day, April 18, 2010



Let's talk Farmville. It's the game that everyone loves to hate, but how many of us actually play it? Why or why not?

Nope, I do not. I did try it once, along with a few other Zynga games.

They did not satisfy me. If my gaming sessions can't last more than 10 minutes something is wrong!

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

I must say, I have never played this game that receives such hate...
Reason: I, me, this one, does not have Facebook.
And as far as I know, it has only infected Facebook

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I did try it...And it made me wanna play Harvest Moon.

Dear god, Farmville is terrible.

Harvest Moon has a sense of reward for the grind, such as a family.

Farmville is just a time killer. And a bad one at that.

 

[Valkyira]

I've never played it because it doesn't appeal to me. But if it is as portrayed on South Park, then its shit...

 

[Kaymish]

well i have seen it played but never tried it myself and am unlikely ever to i dont even have facebook so i hit no i hate it

 

[Jack and Calumon]

No, I don't see the appeal in it, at all. It's ridiculously dull. If I want a Casual game, then I'll play Peggle, or Bejeweled.

Calumon: Extreme Fever!

 

[Death916]

Ive vowed to never touch that game, i can never forgive the pain it caused me in march

 

[Ren3004]

No, I don't have facebook. So, lacking a "Never tried it" option I went with the "No, I hate it!" one.

[katsabas]

No, to childish for me and I still play LBP.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Where's the "I haven't played it but I don't care for it one way or another"-option?

Hate is such a ridiculously strong word to use in this context...

 

[R4di4ti0n.]

Ugh. These polls are terrible. Why is it "no, I hate it" why isnt it just a no...

Just because I dont play something doesnt mean I hate it, just that i have more rewarding things to do with that time.

 

[WrongSprite]

Tried it, was boring.

 

[Benj17]

Played it once, didn't like it

saying that i still play Mafia Wars whenever there isnt a group to join

Exactly my thoughts, I am entirely indifferent to this game, I don't quite understand why it gets so much airtime here.

 

[Slayster]

A big resounding no!
