Keep it at 2x. I don't want to play for years to get 99's.
Honestly man, if you dont have the time to spend on a game, why play the game? I know people don't want 99s taking a long time, but isn't that the point of this 2006 Remake? To make it almost exactly like 2006 RS? Having 2x rates kinda takes that away a little bit, as its much easier to get levels. People will be getting 99s too fast and then it will just get boring and it will make having a 99 pointless.
I'm playing the game because I want to feel the same way I felt as a kid. However, I had hours beyond hours of spare time back then. In all honesty, I will not be playing this at all in a few months. Why? Because I'll be an adult, and adults don't waste their time on video games, but concentrate on real life.
Actually, this is partially incorrect, Adults do use their times on video games, as it is their hobby. Most adults who never spent much time on video games in the past are the ones that are most likely never going to spend time on them. Everyone wants the nice nostalgia when playing this because it does bring back so many memories, I don't disagree with 2x experience but I feel 1.6 would just make it a little better.
This may be true in some cases. However, as a high school senior with college to worry about, I will have no time for games. On top of college, I will have a part-time job, and I already have a girlfriend, which is full-time, around the clock, work. The only games I will play are the games I play with my girlfriend between the sheets. Other than that, I will be done with video games once college comes around.
