Besides Bishoujo games, what computer games do you play?

The majority of the games I play on computer are first and third person action and/or stealth titles. Some of them contain elements of other genres. I have a few games that are primarily RPG (all of the Baldur’s Gate series, all of the Neverwinter Nights series except Mask of the Betrayer, all of Knights of the Old Republic series).

Well all of those games lose their difficulty because of the save anywhere (except a few in battle). I know because i played many of those games and i have seen people post how the pwn them and then go on to tell how they save like every minute or so.

If people want to play their games that way, that is their business. Might they be ruining the experience? It’s possible. However, I’m not going to worry about it. Kind of like how if someone wants to have a carpet made out of thumbtacks in their home, that’s their business (as long as they don’t expect me to come over). It’s kind of like how in some gaming forums people who play on easy difficulty get ragged on by those who feel superior because they completed it on the hardest difficulty. True, those people have accomplished something, but in the overall course of the world, what does it matter?

I’ll never understand the mindset of people that consider the ability to save anytime as cheating.

If the developers actively attempt to prevent you from doing something, then finding a way to do it is cheating. Note I did not say that it was always a bad thing; in single player games, if it’s still fun for you, then who gives a shift?

However, more and more of those single-player games have some level of multiplayer connectivity. While it’s not a system like true MP or an MMO, it can bring unbalances to the system.
