You know that point when you're really enjoying a game,

If I'm not having fun I stop playing, but a game being repetitive is hardly ever the cause of that. I wouldn't be playing a game if it wasn't fun, so for me to notice a game being repetitive means it has to be fun for a long enough period of time for me to notice that it is repetitive.

Often times I drop games because of some bullshit mechanic that gets introduced or something of the sort.

>that cave area that doesn't checkpoint
>lost 2 hours of progress
>never played again

There are games that do just that, and games that SEEM like they'd be just that - but do not ever get tiresome and feel engaging throughout the end.

Examples of the former: nuDOOM, nuSW.
Example of the latter: Serious Sam 3

I had the same feeling playing this game and I ended up finishing it. The boss fights were absolute shit.

Necrovision had a real bad case of that

Playing through this game. I'm at chapter 9 or 10 right now I believe and I'm on the verge of quitting. It has exactly the same problem I had with doom (I didn't know they were similar games before I started this one ). The enemies become wayyy too tanky in the second half of the game. I'd be having way more fun right now if there were hordes of basic demons rather than those annoying as FUCk shield guys, the annoying birds that are a pain to kill all of, and of course the fucking necromancer thing that has invincibility for like 15 seconds. Great way to ruin the fun and fast paced combat that the game started out as.

That's what happens with every game that is longer than a COD campaign that people try to beat in one sitting.

>implying

It depends on balances. RPGS usually dont have this due to throwing in puzzles, fetchquests, and other goals on top of combat to keep a person busy and constantly have a goal in mind. When the game is just A-B cooridoor hopping, but then arbitrarily stops you and locks your progress behind a horde of random spawning enemies every 20 seconds, it gets really boring really fast. I wouldn't mind it so much if they'd at least introduce new enemies every level or so but they played their hand and introduced everything by level 3.

I'm on 13. it really doesn't get much better. YOu have to find keycards and take on 3 berskers at once in a caged arena.

Theres also the argument of storytelling depending on the person, Some people are really invested in the story that they'll slog through mediocre quests and filler just to find out what happens next (This was me and Xenoblade for 2 weeks) and then theres those who don't care for the story and just want the game to progress at a reasonable pace.

NuDOOM was actually very engaging. It was great to have a modern arcade like FPS for once

>I'm on the verge of quitting.
It honestly doesn't get much better, but I powered through for the supposed Stan Bush moment. Which I found out was SW2, not SW1.
Little bit disappointed.

>shield guys
The small shield guys can be shot in the head while they're casting, it's usually effective.
Big Shield guys I found Shotgun helped with them, that or just use rockets when you're annoyed. You can also shoot through the face holes, but that's harder.

>the annoying birds
Auto-aim/half pulled trigger revolver shooting. It's basically cheating, but they're horrible enemies.

>fucking necromancer thing that has invincibility for like 15 seconds.
He's invincible until you shoot the skeletons with the glow around them, which can take 1-2 seconds if you're lucky.
Other than that annoying feature, he's a complete pushover.

Though the best combat advice against everything but bosses is; When in doubt, Divider of Heavens sorts them out.

>>388491073
I was actually enjoying it, even though its very flawed. It does get harder and harder I feel, and you slowly SLOWLY (fucking slowly) get new weapons. What ruined it for me is im playing on the hardest setting and the bosses fucking suck. I feel the endgame would be so much better and im just stuck. Then when I think of the tediousness of the level design I have no urge to continue.

opinion instantly disregarded.

I really like when a game just throws more levels at me instead of constantly introducing entirely new mechanics that make it impossible to properly play the game without learning all over again. There's something relaxing about gunning down the same enemies over and over through various hallways and environments.

I lost a lot of progress at one point so I just started quick saving after every fight

IMO, I enjoyed it until Hoji left you, that's when it turned into shit
