sigh…this thread is embarrassing. I'd expect this if it was posted on a Halo forum or something, but a forum called 'RPGWatch' is bashing him? What the hell, guys?
OK, @haters:
The minimum time to be spent on any game is six hours. He will only stop playing and move on at this point if there are special circumstances, or if the game really sucks and is not worth the time. As many have pointed out, this is a massive undertaking, and it's just not time-efficient to spend 30 hours grinding in a shitty game or a carbon-copy sequel.
About his 'quitting' on Wizardry 3:
- He had just finished The Bard's Tale 1 all the way through. And 6 hours of Wizardry 2. Anyone would be tired of the Wizardry sub-genre at that point.
- Then he started Wizardry 2, which requires you to import a party from a previous game. He didn't know this, and only had one top-level party to work with, who ended up dead. You can't expect him to go back to Wizardry 1, train another top level party, and then go back to play Wizardry 2. As I said before, time efficiency. He has a life outside the internet.
- On this note, he starts Wizardry 3. It's a better situation. However, there's still character importing BS and he's getting understandably tired of 'limited save, permanent death games', so he moves on to Phantasie.
- He already finished Wizardry 1 100% a while ago. And really, Wizardry 1 2 and 3 are all practically the same game anyways, so what does it matter?
