A lot of it is just about goal completion. I had all of the Arkham games on the XBOX360. The whole goal was to just complete the game.
The only games I play now are a FPS on my IPAD (not COD) and a MUD called Dark & Shattered Lands. A MUD is generally a midpoint between D&D table games and the first online MMORGs like Everquest and and WoW. MUDs are all textual, no graphics. Very high learning curve. It's all for nostalgia.
