Message: <blockquote data-quote="bavelb" data-source="post: 16147" data-attributes="member: 358">People are conservative creatures of habit. Change is often scary and or unwanted and people make up arguments to why it's not for them and like to stick to the familiar. An example: Personally I love TPA but I have a healthy dose of scepticism each time I get a new table I don't understand the rules for yet. Getting to learn it is a painstaking process sometimes (RBioN anyone?) even if I know in the end it's rewarding. And that example holds up for me all the time in other games: In MTG: Duels of the planeswalker each time I start a new deck, it's a bit of a process to get to learn it, or when I get a new level in a platformer with newer, different enemies with different behaviour it's a bit frustrating in the start. I rather stick by the deck I know that works. (Does this mean I don't like challenge? No, because 90% of the time I start my games in Hard mode, and most of my favourite games of this generation are Demon/Dark Souls, Spelunky, where dying is integral to the game...I don't even buy Meat Boy or Trials because I know I'll get too much into those and will have no time for other games/genres that I find more fun).Maybe the same is true for your friend: he likes to stick to the familiar, what he knows and what he knows is good at (for his level of skill) and just is a bit afraid of getting overwhelmed. In his mind, he's perfectly happy playing Zen, why would he go spend money and play this unknown factor (where admittingly in the beginning you won't be as good/have as much fun as with the game you know).</blockquote>
