i like them because it is very obvious that they stimulate a certain pleasure center in my brain. it's like push buttons, feel good

i can think about them and talk about them and there's ideas and stuff in there i like but it really all comes down to which game can deliver that the most efficiently

my real reason is because i've been playing them since i was a kid and i just never got in the habit of doing sometihng else ie. going outside. also i was a nerdy weak dork and it was easier than playing baseball. there wasn't a lot to do back in the day.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I think for me a lot of the enjoyment is in going into a new game 'world' and slowly figuring out its systems. Obnoxious levels of difficulty aside (which are usually enough to make me pack it in), the more work I have have to put into grasping all of the workings of a game the longer my interest lingers (this, btw, is pretty much exactly what my gf hates about video games). I think this is why, for example, I was mysteriously drawn to try out Madden a while back despite having zero interest in or working knowledge of sports: it was a closed system with unknown rules and mechanics that I could plunge into and slowly try to work out, like pretty much every other game I enjoy. I'm playing the first Persona atm and this fusion shit is pretty involved even compared to most other rpgs I've played.
Second reason: see NV's quality first response itt.
