How long is too long of a break from playing?
Being in this sub has made me nostalgic for the HM games I played as a kid and teen, so I’ve been thinking of revisiting some of them as an adult. I’d really like to try picking Tale of Two Towns back up, but it’s been over a decade since I last played, so I have NO idea what I was doing when I left off. I think I’d progressed my courtship pretty far, but was unable to get married because I hadn’t beaten the main story yet. I’m very hazy on the gameplay loop now, but I worry that even if I refresh myself, I’ll have trouble picking up where I left off.
Do you think it’s worth losing the progress I made for the sake of knowing what the heck is going on? For anyone who has started from scratch with a HM or SOS game, did you find that easier or even more rewarding than if you’d simply continued your old save? I’m definitely overthinking this a bit, but I’m just feeling very conflicted over potentially wiping a few years’ worth of playtime.
Thank you!
