EBF 3 is a rather cheesy adventure game where you collect treasures, medals, magic weapons, and use the stuff you find to fight monsters and solve puzzles. Every so often you run into a 'Boss' monster that you have to defeat before you can continue on. In other words, it's your typical adventure/RPG. The graphics are a very cutesy, anime style which doesn't help the game quality much.
The game was pretty lame which doesn't explains why, over a three day period, I played it for 19 hours and 37 minutes. In case you're wondering, when you save the game it lists the number of hours and minutes played, otherwise I would have never kept track despite my love of enumerating. I probably would have played longer but, frankly, our computer desk chair sucks and my butt was getting numb.
In the end I surprised myself. After defeating five boss monsters, I reached the end and only had to defeat the Über-Boss. I fought one battle against him ... lost miserably ... and then totally lost interest. It's like running a marathon and deciding to quit a half mile from the finish line.
I don't remember ever leaving a computer game unfinished. They've always bugged me until I finished. What surprises me most is I'm perfectly content to let it hang there. It feels oddly good.
Now, back to that intellectual pursuit that is Facebook Scrabble.
I'm always up for some Scrabble!
ReplyDeleteI feel for you. I played some zombie game where the hit percentages were way off (i.e. 80% chance of hit, then you'd miss 4 out of 5 times). I got all the way to the last square, then couldn't win because the game gave to way to recover (i.e. buy more health/weapons). Unfortunately, with a free game, there's relatively little point in demanding one's money back...
ReplyDeleteI love playing videogames! I play them a lot, and it's amazing how quickly time passes before you realize you've put so much of your time into it!
ReplyDeleteAnd here you thought you played Bejeweled Blitz a lot!
ReplyDeleteMHW: There's a game waiting for you to move.
ReplyDeleteGH: How true. Can't complain about free.
MMC: I know you do (From your posts). I used to play a lot more before I was married then ... I lost interest. I'm starting to dabble again though.
Mom: Very true. I haven't played Bejeweled Blitz for quite a while and am now a Scrabble addict.
Hmmm, maybe I won't play as often once I'm married. Hrmmmmm
ReplyDeleteMMC: Oh, there's lots of play ... just not computer games ;)
