jcd11235 0 #1 March 5, 2009 One of my roommates plays Street Fighter IV on his PS3 10-12 hours per day, everyday. About 95% of the time he plays it by himself. He's smart, well spoken, sociable, in decent shape, and, aside from formerly being an MP, has no serious character flaws. I'm not much into video games, but I generally understand their appeal. This particular game, however, seems to be particularly uninteresting. SFIV seems largely unchanged from the (original?) Street Fighter that I played long ago on a SuperNES, except higher resolution. It's the same 2D game it's always been, but with a snazzier looking background. Could someone please explain the appeal of this particular game? What is it that makes it like virtual crack for some people?Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LongWayToFall 0 #2 March 5, 2009 Does your character keep getting stronger the more you play? Look at world of warcraft. If all the hours used to play WOW were spent doing productive shit, the world would be free of hunger and aids. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Players choose characters that have already been created by the game's developers. I think certain accomplishments will unlock more characters from which to choose, but that's it.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
