    This is a re-post of  this topic as the first posting went into the general forum because of problems with Firefox 4 Beta 5....

     Anyone else think this is a bit like the movie Groundhog Day? Screw around for X amount of days and do stupid stuff until one day you know the town, the items, the events, etc. perfectly and can just execute the perfect day.. 
     
    Edit: The original thread is here.

    yes I know what you mean, maybe it's subliminal appreciation for that classic film..  
    It's especially noticeable when you've replayed the same sections 2/3 times, but that can be applied to various games with sequential events.

    It can most definitely be applied to various games. Like how people play levels in games such as megaman. Here it is just more apparent, with the whole time aspect and because it is a day that is being repeated.

    The best comparison to Groundhog Day in a video game is Majora's Mask.
