Not seeing the endgame as worthwhile.

I was absolutely hooked on this game for a week straight, but then something just clicked in my head that made me not interested anymore. After spending a whole day farming for the assault thopter, I realized I’m doing all this grinding and tedious farming just to unlock better farming equipment so I can continue to do MORE farming. What’s all this farming going to get me in the grand scheme of things, a different color swatch? A different building set for a base I’ve already completed? A new mediocre weapon for the mediocre combat? None of these things are worth the effort to me. To me, it seemed like this game is gaming for the sake of farming, so I came to the conclusion that perhaps resource management focused video games are not for me, and I was simply caught up in the novelty of getting play a new video game.

(Not saying it’s a bad game or dissing it, I’m just saying it’s not a game for me.)
