Does anyone else find this game more rewarding than killing orcs and zombies?

[Gus]

I can almost justify the time I spend playing this game. I guess it's because this is a simulator and lets you learn the actual physics of space flight.

I used KSP to get through some dark times when getting out of bed after 16 hours sleeping was a task.

It kept my mind busy.,

KSP definitely has an educational value compared to most games out there. It does feel more rewarding to me to land on Vall then to play other games honestly.

[Fredonia]

Yes. Mostly because it rekindled my childhood love for spaceflight. It's also given my friend a new way for giving me the finger when I ramble about astronomy or rocketry... 3...2...1...*holding middle finger up raising it like a rocket* WE HAVE *I think you know the word* OFF!

I can spend hours upon hours a day designing a rocket that works, whereas with other games, I can only put about 3 hours in a week...across all my other games.

First landing on the Mun is one the most memorable and satisfying moments in gaming imo. Other stuff is also highly rewarding as well though (like when I made my first orbital rendezvous to rescue Jeb recently for instance) , probably because this game has such a high learning curve. Most games today do not since they're in genre's we've all played a 100 times.

I'd take designing a rocket for hours and see it blow up on the pad over grinding dungeons or shooting zombies anytime and every time.

I love KSP infinitely more them games where you just go: turn, stop shoot, repeat to win. KSP actually needs you to think.

That's why it's more rewarding

[0x7be]

Yes, KSP is much more rewarding. That is why I've already spent with it more time than with most of other games I've played to date.

UPDATE: I think that this game is so good because it actually lets you create new content rather than just consume content created by game developers.

However, this very property of KSP limits it's potential fanbase, because it is not just entertainig, it is also demanding.

Answering the thread´s title: Actually, no - it´s just that i am easy too scare and am terribly afraid of Orcs and Zombies. That´s why i cant play these games, though i´d like them a lot, i guess. I hate KSP, but there is just nothing else out there, except killing Orcs and Zombies - and thus i end up here. (Though sometimes, the kerbals remind me of orc-zombies in midget-format...)
