Candy Crush - Torture Disguised as a Game

BSR9797

Do people remember when games were enjoyable? When you looked forward to playing? When skill was paramount and luck only a small influence on outcome? When you could play as many times as you want without being limited with lives and being forced to wait unless you are prepared to throw money down the drain? Those indeed where the days.....

Games are now designed to be addictive, to be traumatic, to be all about profit. They dictate to you and you slavishly follow what your are ordered to do.

And Candy Crush is the ultimate hateful representation of how fun has evolved nowadays to be a chore, something which torments you into resentment and hatered.

Every other level now is an excriating marathon where the only hope is that all things fall perfectly into place to allow you to scrape through to the next miserable level. If that luck hits you early then you can smuggly pronounce it to be an easy level but if luck deserts you then you could literally spend weeks drawn back to tedious repetition by anger. .... or of course you could spend spend spend and let your tormentor laugh all the way to the bank.

Take level 1507 .... what a joyless waste of time with no hope of success unless you pay or Lady Luck feels generous enough to bestow upon you her sparse offerings. Or perhaps you get an unfair advantage of extra moves depending on your device (can anyone explain the logic in that?).

They tell us to "watch the video" to get an idea on how to complete a round but if you get the drop down sequence of candies on the video you would not need help in the first place. It is a utterly vacuous bit of advise and ultimately a waste of time.

With all this I sign-off from this horrible game and look for better, far more enjoyable things to do in my spare time.
