Comment on Is Flappy Bird a good game?

Yeah it is great!
I think of games like Flappy Bird and Lemmings as grinding.
Back when I used to play MMOs a lot , EverQuest, WoW and Dark Age of Camelot, sometimes it was just so nice to mindlessly grind after work.
It was a relaxing low effort thing to do to get my mind off of things.
It is one of the things I love about God of War 2018. There is a whole realm that is just about grinding the same area over and over again. You didnt have to do the area for the main storyline but it was there is you just wanted to mindlessly grind.

Wouldn’t say that EQ or DAoC were low effort mindless grind. Leveling or the super awesome large scale PvP (damn I miss this) needed tons of work, coordination and effort. I retired at the time the daoc beta went live and I basically lived there 😁
But farming for some stuff sure was low effort chilly grinding.
Anyhow, nice to read anything about daoc at all. It always seemed very niche. Eq had its moment in the sun and wow…is wow.

Omg yeah EQ and DAoC were not low effort at all. EQ was a total commitment.
Just getting a group to slaughter random mobs took time commitments.
… and raiding… HAHAHAH
Such good times.
