If the point of the fun ...Journey and destination.<br /><br />If the point of the fun is the journey - hanging with friends, solving puzzles, killing monsters and taking their stuff, then even a game with permanently dead characters isn't really about the characters. It's about the players, which is fine with them (and me!).<br /><br />If the point is to somehow "win" the game, and the journey isn't very interesting (or is very painful to repeat), then you get the "just run" thing a lot. <br /><br />I think the second describes a video game that must be played through - painstakingly - but you can't save your progress at all. Unless the start of a game and the end of a game are equally fun, you're not going to risk having to start from the beginning.Douglas Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292678529266123501noreply@blogger.com
