An unusual situation
By blog on Jun. 24, 2009.
For the last week or so I have been playing The Legendary Starfy. I’m in the sixth world in the game, where I am currently swimming around on rainbows and turning into a Rooster – named Roostar… because Starfy… is a star… oh goodness – who can cluck so loud it effects aspects of the game.
It is all rather rather odd. The thing is, I still don’t know if I like the game. After playing somewhere around ten hours, I don’t know if I like the game. But I keep playing… but it’s kind of irritating… Isn’t that odd!? I certainly think it’s odd. I have never before encountered that in a game. Usually I know pretty much instantly if I am going to like a game, even if I haven’t got the hang of it yet. Or I can play for five minutes and know I don’t really care for the game, and probably won’t pick it up again.
But that’s not the case with this game. When I have free time but am not close to my computer – because if I were close to my computer I would be playing Heroes of Might and Magic 3 – I think to myself, I’ll play some Starfy. But as I am playing it I know I am wearing a slightly bemused expression, an expression that says ‘I don’t know if I like this’, that same expression that people wear when they walk into modern art galleries and stand before a llama shaped topiary – Sims fans will recognise that little gem.
I said to my SO yesterday that I think I will have finished the game before I figure out if I really like it, to which she said that means I don’t like the game. But I am not sure, I sort of do… I just feel that it… is a game I’ve played before packaged in a new pretty wrapper… But it does have it’s own thing going on too… so yeah, still undecided.
