Message: [QUOTE="lil_thang, post: 136146, member: 219216"] i think moreso than any other genre, it is explictly a 1 on 1 skill based genre. on a philosophical note this feels very intimate to me. it is intimately a social genre. sure, one can play only vs AI, but even with artificial difficulties this becomes boring fast. it is a mutual display and challenging of masteries. moreso than any other genre, you are completely on your own with your failures and your failure is entirely on you. the other person won because you failed in some regard. personally i find this very intimidating, but i can understand and see the appeal. given its intimacy, the highs are high and the lows low. beating someone 1 on 1 is the dragon to chase.
