Default Does Anyone Play Polymock Anymore?

I haven't heard anyone playing Polymock anymore. Do you still play it?

No, 3 reasons: it's not fun, there's no reward and it's not fun. I've breezed through it with a bought piece and never intend to go back. Why would anyone? It's not like there's any variation or incentive.

I don't think I've played Polymock for at least 2 years. Sure, it was fun the first time, but after that I pretty much lost interest in it.

Short answer: No

Long answer: Hell no, that minigame's about as fun as watching paint dry in a blizzard, and about as rewarding.

I have on occasions for some random reason. As goes for Norn tournament, dwarven boxing etc. Funny how these mini-games were advertised quite deeply but not like me to QQ but they were very short things.
Then again theyre not too bad to do from time to time. Its a nice little Side-quest to collect some of the pieces especially for people that collect items

Did them once for the skills. Can't be bothered with them anymore. It wasn't as fun as I had hoped (pokemon on steroids anyone?)

what, for fun? You must be kidding. Polymock was fail from the start. It's a regretful necessity to get summon skills, and is in the same fun ballpark as dental work.

I still play Polymock once in awhile...mainly when I can't find my DS or I'm too lazy to simply to go through a few folders on my laptop to play Pokemon Red.

I did the quest line once for the summon skills.

I'd only repeat it if it was a good way to farm Asuran faction points, which it isn't.

No...just no. For all the reasons listed above. It's the most retarded thing since signet of disenchantment...

It turned out to be boring. You followed the progression of regular pieces and just learned which order to play and where your input windows were. Failure to comply -> start over level.

On the other hand you were able to buy pieces that just obliterated the enemy without him ever having a chance.

So Polymock is either very hard or very easy, in both events the game is not that interesting and there is no incentive to replay it. Norn Arena turned out to be more fun when it came to EotN minigames.

Polymock was a a waste of time. Both for players and devs.

OMFG, am I the only one that has not even bothered to play that damn game?

Seriously, as soon as I played the first game on the quests I was bored as hell and have not played it, not even for those skills they give.
