Have You Played A Repeatitive game... and liked it?

[Charvale]

Several games in my life have been repetitive, and yet I've enjoyed them enough not to sell/break them.
Tetris is my most addictive and fun game followed by rpg's such as Pokemon and Star Wars: KOTOR (I mean, seriously, the combat mechanics were incredibly repetitive) and of course Indigo Prophecy (Farenheit in UK) for the Xbox was nothing but a collection of quick time events with random moments of you guiding the character through the scenarios. All of it was completely repetitive and yet it was fun to watch the game progression and the storyline... although the final fight was a pure 100% let down as it was less of a fight and more of a single QTE that leads you to either win or lose.
=o.o=
Still all enjoyable games.

Jet Set Radio Future

and even when they spiced things up with a unique sequence that usually took forever so you were sick of it by the end (ALL the Noise Tank Fiascos)

Left 4 Dead. ZOMBIES! KILL! Over and over, me and my friends are up all night playing that shit.

I used to enjoy Runescape. Mock little me all you wish....I will join you. In that game, I liked to level Woodcutting. That was so repetitive and tedious, but it seemed so rewarding!

Backgammon is fun, but it plays the same every time.

 

[LewsTherin]

Tetris, Pac-Man, Super Mario Bros. Duck Hunt, Halo, Warcraft 3, Medieval 2, CoD4, Borderlands, Left for Dead, you know.

Most games are repetitive, as in you do the same thing over and over. If you want to get semantic, all games are repetitive as they are just repeated button pushing/baton twirling/mouse clicking.

Im playing Borderlands now. It is repetitive no doubt but its so amazing I just cant stop

WTH, its not really repetitive, there missions are -always- different, the only missions that are the same are there ones where you have to fix a claptrap, but you get such good items from doing those it does't matter. there is around 50 kinds of foe so that's not repetitive, that just leaves the combat..and that's standard FPS combat.
assassin's creed I enjoyed and that's -very- repetitive, go to guild, get info on target, kill target, copy and paste 10times.

 

[OiXerxes]

Assassin's Creed, X-Men Origins Wolverine, Prototype and Infamous but definitely Prototype moreso

i was playing because the xbox was down and i sort of got into the swing of things. mining smelting, forging, selling repeat and grow level
ill take a quest i feel a bit adventurus.=)

anything like this happen to you?

p.s the xbox was fixed WITH A TOTAL HARD DRIVE FORMAT!!! OF DEATH!!=)

Welcome to the escapist, in your 10 days of being here you're already on probation. I wont judge or bash you for that though. On Topic. Legendary was good fun for a few weeks, now borderlands, i think CODWAW was a bit same-ey, but i enjoyed that one too nethertheless. Everything above was not supposed to sound mean nor offensive.

To be honest and correct me if I am wrong but I think he was referring to his "mod" as a joke and if this is not your reasoning for talking about probabtion do tell me as I am new and would like to learn the rules quickly and probabtion free. Thanks

Alrighti then, fair enough. Check in the forums for the 'forum guidelines' You can't miss it.

I thoroughly enjoyed Assassin's Creed even though the side missions were all alike. The main story assassins were varied enough, and the concept and visuals had me completely immersed, so I didn't mind all the eavesdropping and saving of citizens.

 

[Sven und EIN HUND]

Assassin's Creed, 'nuff said. Loved it.

 

[Jandau]

Borderlands, and before that Torchlight. However, the problem is that as soon as I figure out I'm actually bored or something actually interesting comes along, I tend to drop such games and never pick them up again. I doubt I'll be playing Borderlands again. I'm currently enthralled by Dragon Age, and after that's done I already have a list of other games that I need to check out. Even if I didn't I still have to finish Resident Evil 5, since that game is actually fun...

So am I not the only one who goes back to the same monsters that respawn and grind them, without it feeling like I'm doing it out of boredem?

God I love Borderlands!

 

[MercurySteam]

RuneScape.

God help me.

Don't feel ashamed. We all did it at one point.

 

[zauxz]

Umm.

Solitare anyone?

 

[Fetzenfisch]

Tekken , Diablo, Harvest Moon
all repeatitive like they can be , but genious

 

[mightybozz]

Assassin's Creed

Also Spartan Total Warrior - pretty repetitive, but with less mind-numbing and more limb hacking and butchering whole armies than Altair

 

[Daymo]

Dynasty Warriors, you would think that killing 200 plus people a level would get boring and it does, but some how it then becomes fun again after a while, especially with a maxed out custom character.

Edit: How did I forget Runescape, boring and entertaining at the same time, I don't even know how that is possible.
