Probably time to write it off as a loss.mbphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037758442729422620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36733892.post-50980100627818494602012-04-24T17:11:15.509+00:002012-04-24T17:11:15.509+00:00I'm reminded of when a friend and I multi-play...I'm reminded of when a friend and I multi-played WH40K:Chaos Gate, and I played the same way against him as I did against the computer AI. That is I moved each of my Space Marines a few squares then put them all on Overwatch. <br /><br />On his turn my friend began moving his units, and as he walked each into LOS of my Overwatch units he was gunned down with no opportunity to return fire. It was a short game, to say the least, and although I won, I found my victory ringing somewhat hollow.Cap'n Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15267651027289124037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36733892.post-64178275405329512102012-04-24T15:33:16.448+00:002012-04-24T15:33:16.448+00:00Y'know, I'm not sure about getting better....Y'know, I'm not sure about getting better. I'd like to think that it's always possible to get better, but at the same time, sometimes things just don't click for me for one reason or another. Maybe it's just because I don't spend enough time in it, or because I don't look at it the right way... lack of experience in one way or another.<br /><br />I like pushing myself to develop new skills, but I do think that at some point games especially cross the line into "not worth bothering" territory, if only because I could be developing skills with wider real world application. I play games to have fun and learn a bit. Once I stop learning or the pace slows greatly, it really does stop being fun, and I don't mind moving on. That's not always the game's failure, sometimes it's mine... but either way, I figure it's OK to move on. It's just a game.Teshhttp://tishtoshtesh.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36733892.post-14298911801427562482012-04-24T01:58:55.961+00:002012-04-24T01:58:55.961+00:00Ha.

"Slogging" because I hated the game when I first tried playing it, and although I have gotten much better in the mean time, I still don't like it all that much. I'm convinced the ~10 seconds inbetween turns is entirely superfluous, bad coding on the (indie) dev's part, and I dislike any game in which you can go from a strong position to instant defeat in the span of 1 move.Azurielhttp://inanage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36733892.post-72218553902820799562012-04-23T21:40:28.248+00:002012-04-23T21:40:28.248+00:00Do you think if I stick with it I'll get bette...Do you think if I stick with it I'll get better Tesh? I have started the game quite few times but I still seem to get bogged down at the same point.mbphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037758442729422620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36733892.post-77578898431314904242012-04-23T21:12:47.928+00:002012-04-23T21:12:47.928+00:00This is the part where the learning curve is most ...This is the part where the learning curve is most crucial, yes. I'm still climbing that curve, but I do like it still. I still like Chess, too, though I find that most of the time when I'm gaming I want something that I can just cruise through.<br /><br />FS makes for good PvP when I'm in the mood, though.Teshhttp://tishtoshtesh.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
