The title to this post is meant to be a little bit tongue-in-cheek, but the actual content is actually quite serious. To some, this may sound like a funny thing to say, but for me, it is a serious matter.
I think for me personally the title has a “grind” to it. I know what a grind is, and it is quite possibly the most painful, stressful, and painful thing there is. Yet, I think that that title has a strong stigma to it. What do I mean by that? I think that the term is used as a derogatory term by members of the video game industry for a specific set of people or things.
I’ll try and set my record straight. The term grind refers to a type of action that is really frustrating, and that has a lot to do with how much of a grind it is. For most people in games, it is a lot of grinding and a lot of frustration, but for me it is a grinding full of frustration. That is to say, I find it very difficult to get out of my own head, and a lot of times I can’t get out of my head.
It seems like every time I play a game I get stuck in the same groove. I always start with a level, and I end up in the same corner, playing through a level with the same characters again and again. Thats pretty much what happens when you play games for a while. My first real gaming experience was playing the first game of the game series Dragon Age (I think it was Dragon Age Inquisition), and the grind is pretty much the same LED Light.
Another common gripe among gamers is that their games end so quickly, and they end up playing the same game over and over again. In theory, this shouldn’t be a problem. In fact, for some games you’ll actually get more out of it if you play them over and over. Dragon Age: Origins is one game that is designed to be played multiple times, so you’re getting lots of different experiences and challenges.
Its definitely one of those games that gets frustrating because the quests are constantly changing, the bosses are constantly moving, and the story is constantly changing too. Even the character development, which is supposed to be the most important part of the game, gets thrown into chaos with all of the change. But in my opinion, this is for the greater good: it forces people to come back to your game for more quests, more challenges, more story, and more replay value.
There’s a point where the game’s story feels very short and unimportant. You don’t need to know about the entire history of the world to enjoy the game, and you can play through it in one sitting. But there are some quests that you may or may not care about. They can be frustrating if you don’t know the context of the story, but if you do, it’s great.
It’s important to note that this isnt a game that tries to be all things to all people. Its a game about survival, friendship, and finding answers in a world that is constantly changing and evolving. The game is not about beating other games, its about making sure you have fun while you work through the game.
It’s a survival game about friendship. You play as a rabbit, and you do what it takes to survive. Your friends are rabbits, and they want to play too. But all you need to do is ask.
