Hello,
I am not a hardcore gamer, as in I don't have it as a direct hobby, as kid I just got them because everyone else had them and it was fun, I hardly recall reaching far or completing any games in addition I stopped played games from 1998 up to late 2006 when i got a 360.
I always like to play retro games to remind me of past time, nostalgia, and play old favorite games. As I started to own more systems and have more games, I noticed that it was pretty difficult to go through all the games that I wanted to play . A single game can take up to a month to complete , and waste many hours when things get difficult or frustrating .
So I think i kind of developed a new habit in this world , I never heard of it before. I realized that I don't want to complete all those games as a challenge, truth is I just wanted to experience those games. For example I don't want to play sonic1+2+3 and beat the boss fair and square. I just want to play through it, enjoy the levels and the experience and see whats hidden in that game.
I guess what I am saying is that some videogames to me started to be like a book or a movie. I want to see and experience, not take the challenging of completing it. That means I want a cheat for everygame where I can playthrough the game without dying or need to level up.
I know this might kill the "gameplay" , but I only have so much time to "play" and I want to experience other games.
Don't take me wrong, games are to be played, and I do enjoy other games and want to complete them , either old or new. But I guess there is a catalogue of games that I just want to go through and see what happens.
What do you think of this? Did you hear of such thing before?
