Not really, because any game I really dislike or have trouble with first time through isn't a game that's likely to get a second playthrough from me. We live in a world with too many books, movies, shows, online videos, games, and other distractions that are constantly demanding my time. I don't have the time or the patience to devote to something that is actively annoying me on the off-chance that it might somehow miraculously turn into something I like eventually. It's the same reason why I get absolutely no enjoyment out of "frustration gaming" any more. ie, games like Dark Souls where the entire design philosophy is to fail 99 times so the 1 time you succeed feels so good based on the sudden release of all the frustration you've built up. At this point in my life I'd rather play a game that gives me 99/100 minor moments of satisfaction than one that gives me 1 moment of intense satisfaction at the expense of having to torture me 99/100 times. I've got stacks of books, DVDs, and games I bought at some point and never got around to reading/watching/playing. I have almost zero motivation to ever go back to games that I only remember hating (for whatever reason). --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
