> Imagine an FPS where you only meet an enemy every 30 minutes. That wouldn't be engaging. The loop must repeat quickly to keep you interested.
False! Plenty of horror games have basically nothing happen most of the time but are very engaging (perhaps even too much so). Alien games are my go to example.
Yeah but how many times you repeat horror games compared to multiplayer esports game where you can play it for years????
most horror game fans I know is treat it as a "one time experience"
that's why most horror games have a shorter game time/playthrough
If you're comparing multiplayer esports shooters, why not compare to multiplayer horror games like Lethal Company or REPO? I love those games and have played them for hours and hours. And these are games where you meet enemies infrequently.
The pre-canned single player horror games like Amnesia or whatever are what you're talking about.
nah bro, lethal company and Repo is game where you meet enemy pretty often lol
how can you say that, also like most horror games this games would feel "dated" after few runs because "horror" aspect is not something you can replicate over and over again
