> A computer game that has too much of the gameplay assigned to randomness will get boring quickly

Are you familiar with roguelikes? Nethack?

The games that I replay most often are the ones that are ridiculously difficult and callously unfair to the player - because they're also the ones that get my mind engaged the most, and where I get the most enjoyment from overcoming an unfair situation.
