PR: Not a game for people with lives anymore?

[charliegrs]

i know i only represent myself, a small percentage of the PR gaming community, but all i can say is ive been playing since .4 which is longer than many people have been playing this mod and i do consider myself hardcore into PR its almost the only game i play BUT.. i dont think ive ever played a game more than 2 hours and my typical game only lasts for about 30-45 minutes. and thats more than enough for me to enjoy it. You can pop in and out of a server just as easily in PR as you can in a game like counterstrike. you arent gaining experience points, or gaining levels, as that would require a massive devotion of time. PR is not world of warcraft, its a first person shooter and by design fps games are easy to devote small amounts of time to. it doesnt take THAT long to get good at PR, and its not at all hard to learn, and honestly its so tough sometimes to find a good squad i couldnt imagine trying to play for more than 2 hours.

and the funny thing is i really dont have a life. i could probably play for hours if i wanted too.

You're right about one thing randompants,

Exactly, and everybody spends their time the way they want to. Caboose, for example, spent one night rigorously testing out the BF2 ammo supply system and he's probably going to be added to our testing team for showing his interest in that sort of thing.



Engage life rant...

Reading about gigging and giving guitar lessons really reminds me of the kind of life I turned my back on. But I have my own reasons for doing so. I'm 21, I graduated from college in Orlando four/five months ago and during my year and a half there I gigged/party'd/went clubbing all the bloody time yet I somehow managed to play PR tons (let alone be heavily involved in the development of 0.6,0.7,0.75...)

Ever since I graduated though, I've been living in Houston,TX with my girlfriend and all I do is,

1. Work at my brothers restaurant.

2. Play/Develop PR and hang out on TS with other devs.

3. Spend time with my girlfriend.

That's been my life for about four months now and to be honest, I really don't care. It suits me fine. For me, hanging out on TS while taking about life and/or playing endless rounds of PR is just as fun as going clubbing with a bunch of mates (it's a whole load cheaper as well!).

Full time uni student as well as apprentice cook, learning a language, freelance illustration and I get in about 1-3 hours of playtime a week. What's the kicker?

I'm totally satisfied.

I'm totally satisfied developing this mod which I know will bring enjoyment to not only myself, but the rest of the team I work with and and 1,000 of people around the world.

Random Pants i would like to say that the exact opposite of wht you are saying is true... People who play PR generally play it when they have time over. I know i and most the people i play with do anyways. For example, its Sunday evening around 18:00, you're bored and can't be bothered going anywhere so theres a perfect slot for a good round of PR. I don't make time to play PR i play PR when i have time.

So this is my life rant:

i'm a full time student

I go out on the weekends, to parties or other random stuff

I spend time with my friends and my girlfriend almost every day

I go skiing or traveling on most holidays

I have a part time job


In the weekends i have a couple of hours to kill before heading down to the pub or to a party etc there i choose to play some PR. I get in a good 6-7 Hrs of PR a week, yet i don't make time for it.I find playing on sunday evenings is always a great way to unwind after a hard week.Sure i could spend that time doing something productive... But you know what? I cant be arsed to. I'm perfectly satisfied wasting it on PR.

I have no problem playing/testing PR and I'm a full time student, I train 6 days a week, I ride my dirt bike, I do a lot of skiing and I have a job. So yes you can still play PR and have a life.

To be honest I don't see the point in this thread, you play PR as much as you can, if you can only play PR 2 hours a week then you do that, if you can play it for 12 hours a week you do that.

I have no problem playing. I love playing PR and making my map for it. I have never liked a game as much as I have liked PR and my Saturdays and Sundays are only playing PR with friends. I'm a fulltime student, work, and I still have time to visit Washington D.C., New York NY, Bar Harbor ME, Niagara Falls NY/Canada, Gettysburg PA, West Point Military Academy, For Devens.(US National Guard Base) Correct me if i'm wrong how is taht having no life?
