The latest bombcast got me thinking of why I enjoy playing these games.  And the Fact of the matter is that to me these are just plain fun. There is just something about mindlessly sitting back and cutting dudes. Honestly I usually don't pay attention to the story.  Just skip all that so I can just jump right in. And Jeff is right, these games are not very good. They have very low production values so every thing looks rather terrible. But in the end that doesn't matter because the joy is in the game play. Though I think the games have become worse. I say that because some things have been replaced over the years that maybe should not have. For example they got rid of Bodyguards and have adapted the Renbu system. The Renbu system is a real bother to me since it takes a lot out of the game. Now all you do it hold down the attack button and you attack forever. I liked it better when you actually had a move set with different combinations of attack and charged attacks.  I just picked up DW6:empires  and there is just something strange about the game play that at first glance is not as fun as DW5. Maybe I just have not played much of it yet. I guess that has to be it since I have only been able to get one mission.

Well I hope my thought shed some light on why these games are still being bought and made and why a player like me enjoy playing them.
