No, I?m somewhat in agreement with you, but rather than thinking the game I love need ?die,? that love has changed. The game I?ll never tire of is INSIDE. It?s short and textbook linear, so in the months after its release, I played it through over a dozen times. But I soon had to accept that I?d never be able to recapture that awe I experienced the first time, so I?ve not played it in a long, long time?. BUT in that time off, I?ve watched damn near every blind playthrough of it on YouTube where I?m able to experience ?the first time? through others and enjoy watching their jaws drop or watch them catch the little details I caught, etc. I also turned several of my friends onto it; they?re normally too busy playing ?AAA Shooter #3,422? and don?t want to be bothered with ?indie games,? but they all loved it. I got my niece to play it; she doesn?t play videogames at ALL, and she loved it. It?s just so much the game I wish ALL games could be: a clever, well-crafted labor of love and attention to detail that engages my imagination and eschews archetypal categorization, something that has to be experienced to be understood, yet even then defies understanding.Xsjadoblayde said:Am I the only woodland mammal that thinks no matter how awesome a thing is, it will always eventually hit a point when it will become tiring? There is literally nothing that comes to mind that I can imagine doing forever without thinking "this needs to die already. I need to die. What have I done to this that I once dearly loved? All trace of joy is nought but a fading stain of a distant memory swirling down the public loo of time. How much longer is forever going to take? What torturous prison have I committed my tender indulgence unto?"
Or am I thinking too in verbatim?
Oh, I thought it was because it was some dirty porn game or something like that.Ezekiel said:That Hollywood guy with the selfie avatar might at a later point start busting my balls with sarcasm again. The rest just won't respond because they don't like the game or are tired of me talking about it. I've been told it's nothing special and that I'm the only one who ever talks about it. Strange. I never got this much negativity back in my Dark Souls 1 days, when I was fanboying over that game in every other GameTrailers thread. Guess it's better to just keep talking about the games I currently don't like and my disappointment with modern games in general.Chimpzy said:Can we know what would happen if you did tell?Ezekiel said:I'm not allowed to talk about it.
Of course he can't change his avatar or username! He didn't ask for this!hanselthecaretaker said:Have you ever felt like changing your username/avatar, or are you really Adam Jensen? Because that could make sense, as he probably would need some escapism from his high tech, complicated existence.Adam Jensen said:The Witcher 3. I just keep replaying it. I'm not tired of it at all. I just have to take a break from time to time to play a new game that I got.
Is Inside supposed to be spelt all caps then? I was not aware until now. That is a great game indeed. Love the bleak and intriguing world with the way it teases the imagination just enough in all the right ways. Wish I could see more of it, but alas...will have to wait for whatever the developer is working on next. Am glad to hear many of the people around you have enjoyed it too, that style of storytelling can be rather divisive, but I do agree seeing other people enjoy something like that for the first time is a positive feeling. Tends to be the only reason I rewatch any films, if somebody else gets to view it fresh. Was only being hyperbolic with the "die" parts of my post, was just imagining and playing with a hyperbolised form of emotion that could come from a situation.

Oh, I completely missed your post first time, otherwise I wouldn't have thought I was the only one, heh! That'll learn me for not focusing!Kyrian007 said:Wow, even games I like I get a little tired of after a while... even when I can easily get back into it later. Fallout is my favorite franchise but I can get Fallout burntout after a replay. It doesn't last long, but it turns me toward my backlog or getting a new game.
And that's the way it is with just about everything I like. I'm not sure there's such thing as a game I'll NEVER tire of. What makes a game good is that I can pick it up again some time after I tire of it.
Do you have a secret to enjoying the first half of that game? Because I've played it four or five times and I really hate the character intro through to about time I get to Denerim (I go Redcliffe, Circle Tower, Brecillian Forest, Orzimar, Denerim). I especially hate the Circle Tower.Bilious Green said:Dragon Age Origins. It's my favourite game ever and I've finished about 17 times.
