I've started playing when the game came out, or better said, the first episode. I played, played and played paris over and over again. I visited every corner of the map, tried every weapon and searched for every secret. After some days every challenge was completed, I finished paris. But I continued playing. Why? Because that was the only thing we had. And it was fun. The same thing with every new map (except for colorado, didn't enjoyed that much) over and over again. It was fun. Even for me, a person who was very negative about the episodic style of game - before it came out!
Some months later, a few days after the release of hokkaido, did a friend of mine bought the game. I told him to do so. Also did I suggested, that he should take his time, play a mission very often, get all the challenges... - because I dont wanted him to be over after 6 hours. Of course, he agreed, but in the end, he played every mission some times, but not very much - not even to mastery level 20. (I have to admit that he gets sometimes frustrated very fast in videogames - he even said it by his own) So in the end, he played some hours, visited every map, and was bored.
The message I want to tell is, that the episodic style works very good (for me), but only if you start with the release. So you only got this one map, so you will play it. It's the only thing you have, and then you appreciate it. You take your time for it. But if you got every map from the start, you are interested in seeing something new, exploring something new. And this leads to the problem of my buddy, you wont be entertained that long.
This problem will many players have who bought the when it was finished, after the release of every map. I'm feeling sad for them, because they wont have the same feeling that the release players had. Thats a big problem I think.
Please tell me your opinion about my thought and your experience with this problem.POLL: For all the people who bought the game when it was finished
- I played every map/ mission only one time or less
- I played every map/ mission some times
- I played every map/ mission till most of the challenges where completed
