I tracked down the guy who gave a negative review to Battlezone 98 Redux after playing for over 8,000 hours, and came away convinced he was right

Scott Smith is a kind of living Battlezone encyclopaedia. Obviously, I had to speak to him.

    8k hours is a lot.
    That’s like PhD level, into a game I’ve never heard of before now.
    Sure, It’s trust their input.

            Thank you for the leg work on looking what it is and then replying, thinly remarking that I could have googled it instead ;)

              I wouldn’t feel bad about asking here rather than googling it yourself. I like the engagement, personally.

        Isn’t OSR a bit “plodding to success” as you can always grind up your skills?

          Yeah it kinda is, but the skill ceiling in pvp and pvm is massively high.

          There’s people who can do all the bosses in game eyes closed without hands and then there’s me who can sit clicking that same rock for a year

      Those are rookie numbers for strategy games.

      Competency starts around 1500 hours.

        Yup, I’m still a noob in EU4 after nearly 1000 hours. I’ll get the hang of it eventually. 😅
