I’ve always found myself bouncing off hard on “make your own fun” type games like Minecraft or the newer Zeldas. This extends to any type of game that has no clear goals or motivators.
Turns out I’m just an extrinsically motivated gamer. For me, it’s about the destination, not the journey. I enjoy games that keep me going with rewards promised at each step of the way. When given the choice to be creative with the tools I’m given, I’ll just find the most efficient way of getting it done.
I’d like to hear what type of gamers y’all are. What type of games bring you joy?
All of you intrinsically motivated gamers. Have you heard of our lord and savior, Bob? Have you played eve online?
One of the most complex, brutal, make your own fun games I’ve ever played. On and off for 16 years and I still suck at it.
I have played Eve. I log in every few months or so to do a little exploration.
@DaSaw @lenninscjay I played with a buddy we made a plan to get “rich” we bought the omega subscription got the big miner ship and things where going well then the “coolness” wore off games kinda boring unless you can make your own fun 24/7
