Quoted from mbaumle:But as time marched on, I realized that saddling up for a 45 minute game of AFM or LotR every time just...isn’t as fun after a while.
Yes, this. Nothing worse than playing one game for over 20 minutes and not really getting anywhere. The short goals are better IMO.
For me it's usually one game of STTNG then I turn it off. But I can play 20-30 games on Stars in 10 minutes..... Didn't have a good, game, play another ! only 2 minutes!
It's not that STTNG is set up "easy" either - it's just that you get so good at muscle memory and playing a particular example of a game, that you just get really good at it.
I walked away from someone's STTNG because they had the cheater outlanes, set to 5 balls per game, extra balls at replay levels. Got bored on my 3rd run through Final Frontier.
The High scores on the machine were all under 3 billion, too, which is why I guess they made it so easy? I spent most of the day playing Big Game instead.
