Do you prefer games where health, etc. regenerates, or not?

Do you prefer your health, stamina and mana to regenerate passively, or not?

I love it they way, when my health, stamina regenerates passively. GTA series games are like that, soccer games are like that. Where you have to relax at a point and refill your strength, or simply moving over to the next event or level to regenerates.

Normally if you play soccer games, you'll notice that when you take some time to slow down your race, the speed, strength, stamina will regenerate with time.

I do think that it's something nice to have them - health and stamina regenerate on their own with time instead of looking for health pack.

Yes actually, most of the games that i played that have this feature (Mafia 2 etc...) are usually so hard, so the health gets auto regenerated (by a percentage) to keep things balanced

I think they should regenerate passively, since it makes sense that stamina would (realistically) - but I can see for some games why it makes sense things like mana and health may not in order to provide a greater challenge.

It's more like resting in real life and regaining your energy back ,so it's something that would be a good addition to any games.

I thınk in action games it should be passively regenerate. In that way you don't stay outside the action.

I prefer it! I'm not a hardcore hard mode person lmao. I prefer moderately difficult, and passive healing helps me not to lose my shit.

[Heatman]

It literally saves you the stress of looking for health pack all the time especially when you are in the heat of battle. 

[Justin11]

It's better that way, simply rest at some point in the game and watch your strength or stamina builds up.

I like the way Destiny does health regen.  You don't regenerate while actively in combat, but once you break and pause for a moment, health regens. Granted, I'm also not against games like Bioshock where you need to acquire health in order to build health back up.

That's have been the way most games that I have been playing works with my characters health regain. It's more of a norm now with games.

I prefer it. If I can stop and rest, or if it just refills on its own, that makes newer games more enjoyable. Older games though, I prefer them to not regenerate. I want to have to find hearts, or faeries, or food, or whatever the hell the game uses to replenish your health or magic or whatever your needing to refill.

Definitely, the old games are the classical and they should remain just that same way because it's what makes them beautiful in their own way.
