Welcome to Gaia! ::

I guess it sounds silly at a glance, but I don't think replay value is defined as how enjoyable a game is on subsequent play-throughs, necessarily. Are there any games that are amazing on the first play, but not worth playing again?

I feel like replay value is something done intentionally. The "value" is the elements that add to the original experience, not just recreate it. Take something like Majora's Mask. It would be a lot of fun to play twice even if every optional quest was cut out, but when you add something like collecting stray fairies with prizes like the Great Fairy's Sword, it adds new challenges and game play.

This is exactly why movies don't have "replay value," they just have quality.

whats weird i had the sleep paralysis thing a few times too, it was usually on the couch though, and i'd be in nightmares involving the same room i was in. until i could figure out what the sleep paralysis thing happening to me was i thought i was just walking into another nightmare. then i just realized it was basically waking up and REM sleep still occurring. remedy? fake a panic.

I've had nightmares where something takes over my body that craves flesh.

You know. Like chicken. And I'm like, a projection outside of my body watching this thing ravenously eat(hand over hand), with mild disgust and you know, the acceptable level of distress for any possession.

I never really liked meat (chicken is stringy and gross) so if you want to relate, try to imagine it was dog or cat food.

SAVE STATING IS CHEATING

Why are you so determined to beat it anyway?

I mean, I went through the same s**t, but I can't honestly say I got anything out of it. The game's not really a test of skill as much as pattern memorization. If I tried playing it now, I'd get my a** kicked because I don't remember where the cheap respawns are, which powerups to keep, etc.

HELL

Looking back on NES games, they really do look very old and unsophisticated.
Here's hoping one day we'll be looking back on video games made today in the same light.

I've decided. I'm going to stream the game that people would care the least about watching: Pink Goes to Hollywood (Genesis version). I have to beat the very first game I've ever owned. Plus, in streaming I'm also recording and there is probably not even a minute's worth of footage of this game available past the first level online, anywhere.

Hell, I think I've only played three, four of the levels myself, ever. I doubt many people alive have ever seen the ending!
