Author Topic: I watch TV shows backwards  (Read 4665 times)

This I can relate to more. One of the unintended benefits is that often later games in a series are more advanced technologically and visually, plus their gameplay can be more refined, such as Mass Effect 2/3 compared to 1.
This makes it easier to get into the series as an aged game can be frustrating. Starting on a more accessible later game may draw you into the series and lore and give you the motivation to put up with the older game.

I actually had the opposite happen to me when playing the classic Fallouts. I played Tactics first, and its interface and mechanics are so much more advanced and enjoyable to me, that when I tried playing Fallout and Fallout 2, I just couldn't stand the way they worked... and I really regret doing that.

Yeah, I know that feeling too. I think that it's harder to go from new to old if the difference in gameplay/mechanics is too extreme.

I didn't get on with any original Fallout games having come to them from 3/NV, although that's quite a big change in style (isometric turn-based to 3D FPS).
I still felt uncomfortable with Morrowind, coming from Oblivion/Skyrim though, which is less drastic a change. But I think I could persevere with it though.

But each person will obviously have their own limits for how different a game can be before they can't enjoy it.

Would you watch a series in reverse on your first viewing, or only after having watched it through normally?
I think i most definetly could. I also found that i like to start at the bottom of web pages and work my way up but i'm not sure if that's related or not.

i've gotta say, that is pretty outlandish.

whatever floats your boat i guess, but it's strange to think about

I think maybe a witch cursed you with a reversal spell or something.
