Time-wasting respawns/progress loss seems like a very blunt tool with which to motivate the player to keep playing.

Tried playing a game of tennis with my friends. 0, 15, 30, 40, Point. Then if you're two scores ahead the game resets. Wtf! Why did the game reset? I was 30-40 and now I'm back to 0? I should be allowed to keep my 30 into the next game.

Now I'm being induced into playing more tennis! I hate this.

And tennis has so few maps! Almost everywhere I go is concrete. Very luck to find a clay court anywhere. You need to buy the DLC to find grass, and only if you're really lucky.

Its repetitive. Its exhausting. The rules barely make sense. And the match-making is completely fucked. I'm either playing people I trounce or getting my ass handed to me almost every time I go to a court.

I think I'm going to try and pick up chess instead. Does anyone know how I can upgrade my pawns to queens, though?

It's a very funny comment but also tennis is the gameplay of tennis. People don't play tennis because they Iike the story so much lmao

People don't play dark souls for the story either. We are there for the gameplay.

Go for ping pong if you want to get roped in because of the plot.

So your claim is souls likes are more like tennis than say, Fortnite is.

Fortnite is just baseball with extra steps

All games are just stick and hoop with extra steps
