As a developer I am very much looking forward to this! Always fun to hear devs chat about stuff.

There's really 2 loops that I always come back to. I love a good story-driven RPG, but not one that's too difficult. I enjoy just going and being in a different world and doing random things and talking to the characters that the developer has created. I like making my character stronger and trying to think what they'd do in the situations presented to them.

The other loop that is related but not quite the same is the loot-driven loop of something like Diablo or more recently for me, Marvel Heroes. There's not much to the games, but I keep coming back. Possibly because they are great games for me to zone out to. Games that I can play while also watching some Giant Bomb videos or listening to music or podcasts. It is grinding, and it is monotonous, but sometimes it is exactly what my brain requires.

I relate to the 1st loop, but depending on how interested and how willing I am to get immersed into the world, I may not mind higher difficulties (e.g. Dark Souls). I basically started playing games as an escape from unpleasant real-life situations, going into other worlds, and playing/thinking about the role of those characters within the game's contexts, story and otherwise. Not just in an "ok [this character]'s gotta do that" but more like "I [as the character] have to do that", if that makes sense. All other genres I've played only came afterwards.

I don't mind higher difficulties if that's what I'm going to the game for. I love Dark Souls and Bloodborne, but I know going in that's what I'm going to be getting. I also relate with the "I [as the character] have to do that" because it can be fun to try to put yourself in that situation and what might you do if faced with that problem and you had the same things at your disposal. If I'm understanding you correctly. It can be a really fun way to play.
