not gonna bother reading the review, can you tell me what the main complaint was?

lmao this is gold

If Problem Sleuth is really dead, I will cry.

Ironically, though, being short actually increases a game's chance of being replayed since it doesn't take so long.

I also think the best way to make your game replayable is to make it a pure adventure game. There is nothing like blitzing through an old Lucasarts adventure for the second time because you know all the answers already.

In my experience the best replay value comes from just being a good game.The games I have played repeatedly are always the ones that I enjoyed the most, not the ones with some stupid hidden tokens to collect or extra difficulty modes. So it seems to me that what people generally refer to as 'replay value' is a pretty pointless thing for a developer to spend his time on.

Indeed.

My PC has lasted much longer than that without having to play games on medium settings.

That's because I only play indie games on my PC 8)

I don't think I could seriously break down such a complex thing into a set of percentages.

Age of Empires... in space.

Don't tell me you've never heard of Age of Empires??

Obviously if the game didn't have replay value IGN wouldnt have rated it a 9 and told gamers to buy it would they have?

Surely it should be the quality of the game that justifies purchasing it?

Mad World is not really a mature game, lol. You stuff dudes in trash cans and stab them with signposts.

More blood =/= more mature.

So you trust ratings boards to tell you how strong the content is in a game?
