I never play facebook game now, i think most facebook games is a copied of other apps before. I feel the same element every time i play facebook game. It mostly give us energy / stamina / health that heal over time. It usually require us to refer a lot of friend to become strong / rich. And what i don't like most, it usually require us to get back to the apps in a certain time ( to collect money / crops / etc ). What do you think about this? Do you agree with me? Or do you have different view? Please share it with us.

yeap I think that's why I don't like facebook games, all ask you to spam your friends and then every game goes excactly the same, gather stuff upgrade, gather stuff buy weapon/extra. :P I prefer playing goalunited and ikariam :)

Well yes my friend, it is the same thing over and over again. It is getting repetitive more and more. And the idea of having a lot of friend equal stronger in game, make the game broken. And it also make facebook broken also since usually your facebook become full of stranger. You add them simply because they play the same game as you.

Well you are right. But i think it will be hard. Since most facebook game is free, it will be hard for them to make good game. Most of the game give limitation at energy and health because they have hope that people would paid for energy and stuff on the game.

Well yes bharsil 83. That is the reality of most facebook games. The game loose all the fun when that thing happened. You end up spent most of the time asking your friend to join the game instead of enjoying the game. Most game facebook right now feel like a task than a game.

Games become less and less interesting now, most of them are ready for people who want kill times. If you really want to find something interesting, do some creative work, making furniture by yourself or decorate your room. That may help you find the interesting things in your life. Game now are only derivant old games, they are just more beautiful more than old ones, due to the application of modern technology.

Well i really take interest in games, but not facebook games. I know many game is just another variation of the old game ( although some could make an original genre / series ). But facebook has fall really deep, the game feel the same, there is almost nothing new on the game. It just the same old game with a different picture. At least that what i think.

There are actually still a few facebook games that I will play, but I try not to get myself addicted to them. I do hate the fact that you have to get help from friends in order to succeed in the games, but there are other aspects of them that I really like and that is the reason that I will play the games. With that said, I do see that some of the games are a lot like other games and those aren't the ones that I will play, I like the ones that are a little bit more unique.

yeah, facebook games are just taken from other sites anyway. They are just a collection of games from many game sites- nothing original or anything... They are just placed there for easy access..

Well i know most facebook games are created by 3rd party company, mostly zynga. But i don't really mind that. What matters is, the game is usually exactly the same. It is the same thing over and over again. It is funny to see those thing, since there are the same game which different picture only.

Seems like you play mafia wars a lot, yes the games lack creativity, but that's the best they can offer for now and we have to commend them, what facebook apps developers are doing have not been done in this world before and you know that, they have managed to take some hours of your life in a day and we still say they are not creative. LOL

Well i actually play mafia wars a long long time ago. I got bored after a while since there is little improvement. I loose the enjoyment of playing mafia wars after a few weeks. Especially after the game remove property from the game and put " i forget the name ", it apply mekanism where we should back from time to time to the game to collect many ( which annoying ).

I am definitely not into those Facebook games. I especially do not like these roll playing games - I am confused from the beginning - and I don't even want to get into all that stuff you have to do to stay alive. I still don't understand why people get so into that Farmville game . . . personally I'd rather tend to a real garden! Or even that Mafia Wars - still don't know what that's about. I used to do SuperPoke Pets, but that's not really a game, but still you have to "earn" if you want to keep up your pet. Ehhhhh, I don't have time for that anymore!!

Well i also like that too. At first it might seem very interesting, but it will get bored after a while. What i don't like about more browser game / apps in facebook is, that it require us to come back to the apps at a regular time. It feels more like work instead of playing games.

I agree, I started playing facebook games with Pet Society, but then I discovered Island Paradise and got hooked... then I started to get bored because it was all the same, planting, harvesting, planting harvesting, and so on! And events that require to annoy our contacts, or get annoyed by other people with requests of sending stuff... Then I started liking Treasure Keepers very much! It was the perfect game, it had stamina but recovered pretty fast. It was an original an nice game, but the company stopped supporting it and now it doesn't exist. Since then I haven't played any other facebook games at all. And I don't think I will, all of them are a waste of time!

Well i played facebook game like mafia wars, it is a great game for some time, and it end up being to repetitive. And then many games like that shown up. It only different at the picture, background story, etc. The gameplay is exactly the same. Thanks for respond.
