Message: [QUOTE="MrChester, post: 284010, member: 291148"] Hello! Based on what you've said, I'm gonna guess you've become a little bit lazy. Your sense of taste is like a muscle and you've let yours atrophy. I'm not suggesting you try to pick up a bunch of conventionally difficult games, but try to challenge yourself more. Perhaps find a game you already know you can beat and then start questioning what ridiculous other ways you can beat it. For example, I really love the Dishonoured games and so I decided to do a run that doesn't use any of the void abilities (they're basically magic spells). To the layman, I imagine this sounds like I was just playing half of a game, but in fact that couldn't be more wrong. Not being able to teleport meant I got really into the climbing, movement, and level design, all the additionally money from selling runes (used to buy magic) went towards equipment, and in generally, I was just finding I had to come up with new answers to situations I'd dealt with hundreds of times before. Aside from that, another thing I'd recommend is playing "bad" games. It's easy to get fixed in the "I only want to play PS2 JRPGs because I know I like PS2 JRPGs" or something mindset (looking at like 50% of this sites users). But if you only play PS2 JRPGs, you're only equipping yourself to judge PS2 JRPGs - if you only play games people tell you are good, you'll only be equipped to judge broadly appealling games that people say are good. Experiment around and develop your taste P.S. this whole "new game bad, old game good" thing I see parroted is just dumb. Vapid assertions like that are only gonna slow you down and make you unwilling to experiment I hope the spark comes back, my friend [/QUOTE]
