Oh hardly. I know at least a couple of fellow GOGers that enjoyed the game much more than me. They deserve the medals more :-)

Of course, all that said, I still spent over 70 hours on Diablo III, and a ridiculous amount on Plants vs. Zombies.

And i've spent alot of time on Spellforce 2 shadow wars. But that's just the thing, if a game is good, then it's time well spent.

LeRoux, I'm not joking when I say that I've put over 200 hours into Plans vs. Zombies. The Vase Endless became like a drug for me. "just one more turn"... that's the best way to get someone to spend tons of hours into a game. Make it available in 10 minute chunks...
Agreed, but the question is - how do you know that going in? I have this weird aversion to games I haven't played, but once I'm in, look out. I did pick up my first console RpG in years today, when The Last Story arrived in the mail.

Usually i can tell if i like a game or not within the first few moments. It's the same with movies. The only trouble is that sometimes games get too difficult for me near the end with the last boss fights, or there are awful plot changes (like in some movies i have seen). Overall though, i've got my moneys worth from what i've bought.

I'd say it's been a mixed bag though. And some games that were rated "bad" i've actually enjoyed, lol.
