But..but what if I want to sell all the crap i've hoovered up from the straight corridor they call a dungeon, is the game expecting me to do something else or partake in some other activity for five minutes, thats just terrible! Baby want everything now when baby want it, game should cater to my every whim an never present me any challenge or impediment, an wipe me arse an burp me an all. An what if I can't find somebody cause I haven't got patience or brain to (gasp!) familiarise meself wi me envrons or even worse use a bit o common sense? I could be frustrated.
I think what we need is some more streamlining an feature stripping, after all theres been very little of it over last few decades, an boil it down to three screens: Gobshite an quest screen, kill screen, an you've got more random crap/sell screen, an begin again.
In Fallout: New Vegas in order to change money I had to...wait for it...click the mouse a few times, I still have nightmares about all that busywork, the horror, the horror. Thats the kind of situation that developers doing a bit of work on their gameworld can lead to!
Are you really equating day and night cycles with challenge? Or being able to find someone not at their shop with intelligence? Or the buying/selling system in FONV with a well done system that the devs put a ton of work into?
Lets take ultima 7. Lets say you are over encumbered. Lets say you are in a town you talked to everyone. Is there a reason to search the houses? No, because stealing is bad and you are good. Is there a reason to explore? No, because you can't take anything you can find. Is there a reason to do anything besides sell the couple items you have that someone will buy (top notch system according to you, having tons of shit that costs a fortune for you to buy but no one will buy it back or from you no matter the value)? No, there isn't. Well, yes there is. Drop all the extra shit you have besides the few items people will actually buy. Then just go and take a shit or read a book and wait until the shop that will buy your couple jewels and the banker lady who buys nuggets gets to work. Or, better yet, spend some money at the inn to rest twio hours game time so you can sell faster.
You can't. I don't know, actually go and play the game and explore new areas because you may find something to explore and that is fun and miss your small selling window when you are so close to it.
SO MUCH CHALLENGE!!!!
I like real challenge. Challenge that gets my mind to think. Not retard challenge for dummies that involves no thought and only requires you to be dumb. Maybe you consider keeping your helmet on and not licking windows all the time to be challenging too. I don't know. I do know that if I already explored the town (in games I can loot and steal I explore every fucking last centimeter) I have nothing to do but wait, or leave. The choice of wait or leave isn't a good choice. It isn't a challenging choice.
You remind me of the type of person that wants me to be forced to waste my allotted play time by running across the world to your stupid player house and buy something from your vendor in hopes of me checking out your digs. Buying something isn't the challenge I am looking for in a game. It isn't the fun activity I want to use my play time with. I want to do things that are actually fun to non-retards. Whenever a game has a huge time wasting system that makes something that should be simple a time waste it is always some fucking invalid living off my dime who has all the time in the world to do stupid shit like build houses and decorate them in game and cry to the devs so there will never be an consolidated auction house for easy buying.
People like you disgust me and since you don't have enough pride to work you want to waste the working man's time with your fucking nonsense.
I am from the old school and the way we play games are -
1) Explorer every nook and cranny.
2) Loot everything
3) Sell everything
4) Never not do steps 1-3
We don't build houses to play dolls and dress up and decorate or want other players to be forced to waste their time waiting for no good reason or to have to spend hours traveling to my shitty house to buy something. And it is the same time of retarded, non-working invalid that has also destroyed the real challenge that games had to offer and make all the actually good content all care bear and streamlined and dumbed down to child level.
