I love Houdini, but I bought it from a guy who specifically said his wife and kids were frustrated at repeatedly bouncing balls off posts.
It’s exactly that need for precision that makes it a good game for home use — it takes time and (fun) effort to master, imo.
I haven’t played new POTC, but wanted to offer those thoughts on HOU.
Quoted from Docb8456:I agree, I am not looking for easy and boring. Just being an amateur player at best, with kids, I didn't want to spend 7k or 9.5k and find out it was not fun after the fact. We do like challenging, so I do appreciate all the information here.
