We buy games and play them. There is a one-off cost and we play it as many times as we want or as little as we want. There are other financial models within video games, but none for Single Player.
This week’s poll question is:
Would you consider paying a monthly fee to play single player games?
Introduction I’ve discussed my objections to episodic content in the past but recent events have brought these feelings to the surface again and I have decided the best thing for me to do is rant about it.

This takes place within a blink of an eye durring the slow teleport from nova prospect to Dr. Kleiner’s lab.
You can’t remember if you succeeded or failed, it doesn’t really matter.
If you failed, the universe ceased to exist and this new one was recreated in its place, easy to explain if you have a million years free and can understand mind boggling complicated mathematics concerning time and the frabric of the universe.

It’s hard for designers not to repeats certain gameplay scenes in single player games. In fact it’s desirable to repeat some types of scenes. Imagine action movies without a car chase (More on that another time)! However, there is a big difference in repeating scenes because they are needed and repeating scenes because designers can’t think of anything else to add.
What gameplay scene has been over used the most in SP maps and mods?
