Crispy™ Does a game really "suck" if you spend 100 hours on it?

[bminorkey]

Just been thinking. A lot of people are shitting on AAA titles like DA:I, Skyrim, et cetera despite having obviously played them for a billion hours. Many people who shit on F:NV here have played it for more hours than F2. I get that those games from a design perspective are really awful, and certainly, the fact you spent 100 hours on Skyrim doesn't mean you think it's time well-spent or necessitates that Skyrim is a *good* game, but can you really say a game you spent 100 hours on *sucks*? At the very least it succeeded in sucking you in to play for that long. Seems hypocritical to me, idk.

Also I've been recommended to post this picture here.

Also if you are getting gang raped for over 100 hours what are the chances you'll like it ?

You can't shit on a game without playing it for 100 hours first. On a serious note, whoever played DA:I for 100 hours has to have brain damage.

If you spend 100 hours on a game, you obviously find it enjoyable. But there are games, like Skyrim, that are too flawed and annoying when playing them vanilla, but with right mods can be very enjoyable. So, it isn't necessarily wrong to spend a lot of time on a game and call it shitty if it's fun only when heavily modded.

Then there are of course the Kodex Kool Kids who shit on every popular game for the sake of being hardcore, while secretly enjoying said games.

The real question is how many hours bminorkey spent on Oblivion.

 

[Nas92]

The fact is, a game like Skyrim should be able to entertain you for several hundred hours without any mods. I played vanilla Morrowind for several hundred hours and still was only a little bored. I played Skyrim for 100 hours and then I had to start looking for mods, played another 15, and realised that not even mods can save this game.

On another note, who here shits on NV? I thought that was incline, or at the very least "good for what it is."

If you spend 100+ hours on a game, you either enjoy it a lot or you're a masochist, there's no middle ground really (no matter what sort of lies you write on the forum afterwards for KKK). Now whether it sucks is a different question entirely, many games can be mediocre to terrible in most areas but have that one thing that keeps you glued on (great mechanics, writing, exploration, graphics, C&C etc.), a lot of it depends on your taste/preference obviously (or even your current mood).

The real question is how many hours bminorkey spent on Oblivion.

I don't think I finished the main quest but I spent like a shitload of time downloading mods to customize my house and moving my companions in there. Also I downloaded a marriage mod and I ended up using it to marry an Argonian with exquisite taste in armor so I could undress him and take his loot.

I guess I kind of shitplayed it yeah.

Reply to the OP: welcome to the Codex.

OTOH, after 100+ hours even a seemingly enjoyable game starts to show its flaws, so one is "more entitled" and has more knowledge to base their shit-tossing on.

For all the people who prefer cats to tits, I hope your tiny cocks rot and fall off. Especially you, Ulminati , I had you down for a cool guy.

Save it from what? You spending another 100 hours on it?

 

[Tzaero]

Absolutely offensive stuff here.

 

[MicoSelva]

You might still dislike a game, even if you have spent 100 hours playing it.

It is stupid to waste so much time on an activity you do not really enjoy, but something being stupid rarely stops people from doing it - often they think they do not have anything better to do. In reality they are just too lazy to look for something more interesting.

 

[Ulminati]

Cathurt detected, Jools

 

[WhiteGuts]

Jools has some pretty good fucking taste, men.

 

[ZagorTeNej]

How exactly? From all available alternatives you chose to spend your free time on it, what do you get out if it if not enjoyment? Actions are what counts, not empty words.

 

[Azrael the cat]

Obviously yes, it can suck. Just nowhere near as much as the person playing it.

 

[Absinthe]

Does a game really "suck" if you spend 100 hours on it? Final Fantasy 13 players would say the answer is "Yes."

 

[Snorkack]

Skyrim has this weird phenomenon where you play it for hours (I think I have around ~70 under my belt, which is very much by my standards) and only realize afterwards what a bland experience you just had. It's like cotton candy. you are all excited about eating it but once you finished, you notice how it consisted just of a single real ingredient, some fancy color and lots of hot air.
Overall I enjoyed most of my time with skyrim and I don't regret having bought the game, but unlike the other games I invested more than 50 hours into, I probably won't feel the urge to touch it again anytime soon.

 

[WhiteGuts]

There is no way you can play 70h of a game without getting any enjoyment out of it. I can buy 30h, but certainly not 70.

 

[Vikter]

There may be different reasons for someone to spend 100 hours on a game that sucks:

• They actually like it;
• They acknowledge the game is shit but still have fun;
• They are completionists;
• They want to have a funny dank review on Steam which says something like "its ok 10/10";
• It's a Bioware game.

 

[JarlFrank]

Yes, because people can like shit they know objectively sucks. I love trashy 80s action flicks, and think they're awesome, but actually... many of them suck. I've played games that I thought sucked, because I had nothing better to do and still got some enjoyment out of them. Sometimes it can be nice to waste time on such shit.

 

[valcik]

.. From all available alternatives you chose to spend your free time on it, what do you get out if it if not enjoyment?

Do you know any flawless game? I don't, there are some parts (mechanics, plot holes, silly quests, stupid story arc..) which somehow sucks in all of them. If you are going to play vidya game for 100% pure enjoyment, I've got a bad news for you.

FNV, awful? How about I break your head, kiddo? FNV is better than F2.
