Irrispective of anything else, mental state has a lot to do with games.
I've noticed with any action title, if I'm not with it otherwise, it's
hugely difficult for me to do well. i finished most of the Mega man series,
and indeed shades of doom and the other Gma games in 2006 when I was in a
great frame of mind.
Ironically, for stratogy or logic puzzles a bad mental state is almost
helpful sinse I've actually found it a great way to relax my brain, indeed I
played a lot of graphical spacial puzzle games not to mention games
requiring basic strategical play such as hearts in very bad periods.
on one occasion in 2008 I even played Smugglers 3 for about 36 hours solid,
because concentrating on how much prophit taking 68 units of robots from
Finis to Carse was much better than concentrating on how I was feeling at
the time.
Another factor Sean brought up is persistance. I've noticed myself if I'm
getting smooshed in a game which I've previously finished, it can be very
discouraging, where as if I'm trying to finish a game for the first time,
I'm more likely to try again.
I'm currently trying to replay the graphical game Metroid Ii for the
original gameboy. This is a game I've finished several times and at one
point was fairly expert at,but now I'm just finding my instincts not up to
the task. indeed this is my second attempt on the game in a month after
giving up, and then deciding to have another go. That being said the second
attempt is working out better than the first, so hopefully I'll be able to
finish the game again soon :D.
All the best,
Dark.
