Well, I've tried a hell of a lot of games that had RPI labels, and two of them were very good, but I have since learned they don't fit the description of an RPI, so I suppose they are RPI Like not RPIs. Most have been a disappointment. I don't think the concept is bad, but I wonder about the attitude of many who are public advocates of the strict definition of an RPI. I also wonder about the success or failure of them. It is very possible that the reason I've had bad experiences with RPIs is because of my own lack of knowledge of what is expected. It isn't like you can ask for clarification in game if you have a question.

So, yep, I consider myself a veteran. If a game looks promising I'm likely to try it, although at times I feel like the guy who hit his thumb with a hammer and then does it again just to make sure that is what made it hurt the first time.
