Occasionaly, my daughter signs on on my account and flys. She has done very well so far with this game. She's flown FSX before so flight dynamics are not new to her, however, she refuses to fly back to base as long as she has ammo and fuel. She is 10yrs old, and I think she has a better approach to the game as I do. She doesn't care about score, whether she lands kills, or gets her name in lights. She was flying today and was missing parts, had 4 kills, and when I told her she should go back she said I have bullets and gas so why should I? It hit me for a second. Should I stay in a fight if injured if I have fuel and ammo to burn? Why would she stay in a fight that would obviously hinder her in future engagements. What I have come up with is this. Some jplay the game as it is, A GAME. That is her view of things. Then I think of all the recent threads of this is too easy or to hard, and I'm reminded of, THIS IS JUST A GAME. I have learned from a 10 yr old today. She sees it as a game and doesn't care, so why should I? Why should any of us?
A little confused here. Care about what? Your daughter got it right. It is a game but how can you play any game if you don;t care? Can you play basket ball and not care about scoring? Will you just quit the game because you are getting sweaty and a little tired? Of coarse you stay if you have bullets and fuel but you still play to win even though you may have some disadvantage.
I think every one cares. About different things maybe, but they all care about the outcome of what ever they were set out to do. The only people claiming to not really care are the ones that cant take losing. Like it or not, every game is a competition. Even if you are just competing against your self. Only way I see for someone to log in and waste an hour of his life doing something he does not care about is if he likes the graphics so match and he is just site seeing lol. But in that case, he would care about the graphics lol.
<S> to your kid for being competitive and challenging herself, even if it is just a game.
Going for BBall on Saturday. I ll just sit in the middle of the court and tell them I don;t care cause it is just a game. See how many <S> I get
