Depends on the game.
Some games the grind is fun or satisfying. Most games not so much.
I don't mind it so much when it's a optional late game grind in a game I already like with good gameplay. Just gives me a excuse to play a game I already like longer.

If the gameplay is enjoyable by itself then it's fine.
In other games there's a whole aspect of optimizing/automatizing the grind as much as possible and that is also a lot of fun.

>>59368i pug cs for 6+ hours, so u can consider that as grinding
its more like a chore that nobody likes to do but its sort of a thing everyone has to comply with if u wanna get better at the game. its hard to enjoy the game that way and i know a lot of ppl who just get burned out/depressed bcz its hard to genuinely enjoy grinding unless u enjoyed school or naturally have a LOT of patience.

>>59383This could've easily been done with basic scripting. None of the monsters are challenging at the start of any final fantasy game, it's simply a loop of walk around, fight, regenerate hp, save. By the time you reach level 20 the regenerating health isn't needed as you're basically one hitting everything and starting first by that point.

>>59379>there's a whole aspect of optimizing/automatizing the grind as much as possible and that is also a lot of fun.Fully agreed, finding ways to maximise the results while decreasing input needed is just a satisfying task and in most cases the developers had no clue anyone would push the game this far.

>>59600really the entire point of him doing this was so he could have something to stream, there is nothing else to it. it is nothing serious
so yeah i get what he's saying. i automate the boring parts of mmos for example. but he was doing this specifically because it's dumb, this sort of self imposed challenge forms the CORE of game replayability for autists. as long as there is something slightly different and potentially more difficult, they are content replaying and doing fundamentally the same shit over and over, not counting speedrunnign and shit aside
for anything else in life this sort of dedication and focus would be applauded, but it seems for videogames you either appreciate it or think the person is mentally ill

Playing Monster Hunter now, most of the game is grinding, but it's fun. I don't mind it when the gameplay is good, if the gameplay is "just spam attack" turns based combat I don't like it

No I don't have the patience for long grindy MMOs or JRPGs anymore.I prefer a game with no fluff that is fun from start to finish.I prefer shorter games like Metroid Prime or RE Village or 2 over long games.

You´re the reason why games fucking suck.
Too bad, you can´t ruin what has already been made in the past.
That´s the only good thing.
