I'm a fish tycoon player who happened to come here one day for advice. I asked about any other games I might enjoy and VV was suggested to me. I've been playing off & on for about a week and I must say that I am totally bored out of my mind. Am I too old for this game at 41? Is that what's wrong?

I have 5 puzzles left and I'm still unsure how I unlocked the other. Looks like they were just handed to me at some point. The idol and the ruins really didn't excite me. For all that work, I should have built the Taj Mahal! LOL.

Is anyone else bored?

Maybe if you looked at it as a challenge of managing people and resources (esp. in Hard Mode), it might be more fun. And no, I don't think it's the age factor; several of us are way older than you are

I am extremely old, born way back in 1959, and I am never bored with the game.

It would be a boring world indeed if everybody liked and got excited about the same things.

Mark is now crazy about City Of Heroes...I think it looks difficult and have no interest in learning to play, which is probably why it appears difficult to me, and this is ok.

Your brain is just wired for a different type of game...but don't give up on it yet, who knows, VV2 just might be more to your liking.

Hugs.

True that. I like FT, but get bored with it quickly as well. But not with VV. We are wired differently, praise God.

You'd better not be "extremely old" because you're born in 1958... you leave no other adjective than "decrepit" for me, since I was born "way-er" back in 1948

Grin. I am going to reply to my own reply

I do at times get a little bored with VV when I am running the whole game in half speed. Half speed is safe. I have had no heart stopping food shortages while on half-speed.

In full speed though I have sweated bullets trying to get my little villagers to Harvest before they all fall dead of starvation.

WOW! Thanks for such quick replies. Before the chemo, I thought a whole lot differently. Now I do get bored easily.

I don't have the game on hard. As soon as I finish this game, I'll try that! Everything has been coming so easily to me. I haven't had to make any difficult decisions, you know?

Thanks!!!

I like to make my villagers do wierd things once i made ever single villager a breeder and the only food i could get for them was the mushrooms the kids picked. many of them starved but it is always fun trying to rebuild the tribe.

Hello Warren.
Yes, I enjoy the differences in people. Mark and I don't see eye to eye on everything. We discuss these things, and get quite creative in sporting our views. Those are the conversations I look back on and smile.

THAT SOUNDS AWESOME! SEE! I lack creativity!
