I was just thinking of something today...
Using Dragon's Lair as an example, people of today either love
the game or hate the game... You don't find many in between.
But when you think of WHY they hate the game, most people will
say that they don't like how the game plays. Memorizing moves
and moving the stick or the button only at certain times to go further
in the game. Wrong move, and its game over.
Now this may be comparing apples to oranges... but they are both
fruit.
I play all games, and wouldn't you consider games like Dance Dance
Revolution and Guitar Hero and others of the sort to be pretty much
the same thing, but at a faster pace?
You listen to a song. You push buttons at the exact moment, if you
time it right, you continue. If you press them wrong, you have to
try it over. In a strange way, this is Dragon's Lair, but DL is at a much
slower pace, since you are watching animation.
I bet people that Love DDR, but hate DL don't even make the connection.
...Thats all... just my "thought of the day"
