Is Nintendogs a good game or does it get boring?

_________________

In moderation, Nintendogs is pretty good in my opinion... I think I OD'd playing nothing but Nintendogs ^^;

That game looks at least, to be one of those "So obnoxiously cute it makes me want to throw my DS and hit a nun, but I can't because then I wouldn't be able to see the cute puppies" kind of games.

No, I don't know what that meant.

My post on a different thread concerning it getting boring:

I'm addicted...

There is a goal to reach and for the life of me I am just not seeing that bright light at the end of the tunnel. Even my first puppy, which I've had for almost two months is not a competitive machine yet...except in agility trials. I have to keep erasing tricks and redo them.

So your saying I have to win all of those competitions and finish the game before I can become bored of it? That's absolutely silly. I don't have to eat a whole crap sandwich before I realize that it's absolutely disgusting. (I love that quote, and I will continue to use it) Just like I don't have to complete everything in the game and play it hour upon hour to realize that I'm tired of it. "You didn't play it for a week and complete everything." is a weak reason for it not being boring. I got bored with it BECAUSE of those competitions, and because of the training. They are entertaining for a while, but then the "shock" and "cute" factors wear off and it just becomes the same thing over and over again. That's just not entertaining to me.

I know what you mean, Kugetsu.

It's like that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire game. The first 2 levels are fun but after that it's just identically the same as before. Agreed, you'll have to play a few hours to finish it but if you've seen it once, you've seen everything.

My nephew owns Nintendogs, he says it's exactly like this and any pokemon game. You can 'play' the game but to actually 'finish' the game you have to have every pokemon available at level 99 etc... Nobody likes to do that

Its amazing. I played it a few times on my friends DS and boy it was fun.

The only time i have ever played it was at a sample in a game store. It was fun for the first 2 minutes but i didnt have time to get into it. It looks pretty fun to me, i like owning digital pets and taking care of them. Although that wouldnt be the only reason i would get a ds.

I played it, it was cute at first but I got bored of it fast.

I Nintendogs. I've had it since Christmas and we're still finding new items when we take walks. Even when I need to take a break from it, my girls love to take over and play with the puppy. It's the most fun to watch them crowded around the DS and laugh as the puppy chases after the tennis ball and then they all call her name for her to bring it back and repeat.

I personally enjoy the game, but it all depends on what you like. If you enjoy hardcore, blowing up stuff run far away from nintendogs. I love the slow-to-go pace, and love all the contests. In my opinion, this game is the game that uses the DS's cababilities the best.

Wonder where this leads to?

I've had this game for a couple of weeks now and I'm still enjoying it as much as when I first got it. I think it's definitely a game that will either appeal to you hugely or bore you silly after the first few hours though as it's really not a "game" per say.

It's fantastic fun though, and the slow pace of building up trainer points means that even if you aquire lots of money really quickly there is still plenty to unlock and not much you can do to speed that up.

It has made me want a dog though, hee, though only if I'm ever at home enough to have one, 'til then it will be cats (a nintencats would be rather amusing - shouting commands at an animal that looks at you like you're an eejit) For now I'll make do with my two dogs on the DS.

I'd highly recommend this game to those who like sim type games rather than all action (or as well as all action like myself) and it is certainly a great starting game if you are just buying a DS now ^__^

Haha I'm the sort of person that does that
I have been known to restart games that I have been playing for weeks just because I've missed one item
I like to have every game 100% complete and I'll keep doing them over and over again until I do
I just don't feel any satisfaction if I complete a game and know that there are things I missed or didn't do

I like Nintendogs and because I am the sort of person that has to have everything done I'll keep playing it hehe

I, personally, love it.
I think they should have WiFi on it, too. (Nudge. Nintendo Wii. Nudge)
My favorite aspect is training my dogs. I also love walks.
It's one of those games where; After a week or two, it gets boring... *A Week Later* You find it and start playing again.
Rinse and Repeat...
