I’m willing to take that risk. 👍
Would you press the button:
You live a rich life in whatever place you want happily with whichever pepole you want, it can be family, friends, whatever. But one btd6 tier 5 tower will try and hunt you down (and you're not allowed to choose which one cause you could pick like anti-bloon and live underwater in a bunker or something).
Yes or no?
(please keep in mind that i am an autistic individual who has loved to play video games for my entire life since i was able to walk, i prefer to be in a constant state of flow and not be interrupted by overstimulating visuals and abrupt in-game occurrences.)
to accommodate for the low attention spans of the new generation, many new releases since 2021 have been short and formulaic with a repetitive gameplay loop. (often overly colorful and vibrant) it’s as if the developers are catering only to retention, rather than actual creativity and challenge.
the thing about these games is that they’re usually round-based, with short bursts of (maybe) minute-long gameplay. now, i’ve played similar games like this and the problem is that they’re piss easy, and there’s barely any sort of strategy or learning curve. the skill progression is like the inflation stats for Arizona Ice Tea, still and stagnant. some of these games have potential, but only appeal to the lowest common denominator.
it might be the next big thing for companies to make every game an endless treadmill of rewards all for a quick buck, but at what cost to gaming culture? whatever happened to games that rewarded you for making big progress and learning something new along the way? where did all the hella cool mechanics go? to me, video games are an art yet to be perfected, as a person who spends most of his free time playing video games and getting into things that i can see myself enjoying for years. if i’m being an ass for not accepting that people have the attention span of a goldfish, so be it! i’m not the audience for these games, and i just want new, long games to devote my time to.
if you want to play a game that has fast gameplay and/or colorful visuals, but also has lots of gameplay and content, definitely play Pizza Tower or Bloons TD6. they’re my personal favorites and you should try them too.
