"I've been way too addicted to Red Dead lately, and you know what this genre of games remind me of? With lots of mini-games that you can play and retry over and over, a disconnect from reality, feel-good feedback, lots of dancing colors and eyecandy? Casinos! They've figured this model out a long time ago. Not exactly the same thing, I know, but casinos have that same immersive ability and positive feedback, with each game taking just a few minutes of your time, encouraging you to try again over and over. And, notice, no windows or clocks in most casinos, so they are timeless and try to place you outside of 'reality'. Playing an open-worlder is probably a lot more productive than spending the same amount of time in a casino, although actually playing Liar's Dice and making a bundle for real could be fun, but I doubt real people are as bad as the NPC's in RDR. ;')"
