Time limits make you better at games

Old-school time limits manipulated you into getting better. Developers today should recognize that this once-upon-a-time gameplay element still works.

They also were off putting

Dead Rising for example was ruined because of it's time limit, didn't like it in Simpsons hit and run were I wanted to take my time with the missions and I really hated it in the RE4 Mercenaries mode where all I want to do is see how long I could last.

I agree completely. I couldn't bring myself to finish Dead Rising because of the time limit and the save system. If it was a true sandbox zombie game it would be awesome, and I still hope someday I'll see a game like that (Dead Island doesn't count, because I'm not a big fan of first-person perspective).

And I don't care if it makes me better at games...for me gaming is not a boot camp. I just wanna have fun.

user54670074731d ago

I know right

I wanted to do some missions, mess around, then do some side missions, go back to some main missions then mess around again...and so on. Yet you couldn't

I know theres some people saying the time limit is what DR is all about but it's a sandbox game. You wouldn't put a time limit in GTA would you

Time limits really made me better at some games, but not everyone can endure having to beat or create a ludicrous-speed time. It like most debated things has its place in games...

I can hear that classic music now....

Hopefully they’ll add Tetris DX from Gameboy Color. That’s one of my favorite versions of classic Tetris. The NES version is a bit too basic.

Will be interesting to see what sort of numbers GP users draw in come tomorrow. It is believed that this is one many have been waiting for.

Darth,

That is not accurate; this game is old, and most people who want it have already bought it. You might get a small number of subs, but we will mostly see a good influx of players(not new subs) from people with Game Pass who will try it, which is what happened with D4.

CoD: BO 6 will be the test for actual sub numbers.

darthv72327d ago

That's fair... seeing as many have been saying they want CoD in GP. My comment was more of , now that its here... what can it do. Im sure there will be other titles in the franchise that will either entice or turn off different users.

No one's buying a console and signing up for a monthly bill just to get this game to avoid buying it. That's ridiculous. Besides everyone bagged the crap out of this on release for the 4 hour campaign.

andy85327d ago

Sweet. Never got round to it on release. I'll give the campaign a go

Severly underrated game. Big improvement over 2.
