"If it's not fun, why bother?" Reggie, E3 2017

How the fuck do you drown over and over in Sonic 2?

This.

Lot of devs making statements with walking sim that just aren't fun.

Its some shade at EA and Activision and mobile that make games to rob their players.

Though Pokemon is guilty these days with Sun/Moon gettingg Ultra finished it this time edition and Sword/Shield just being a minimal effort to the point it hurts. Mario's 25th Anniversary was pretty shameless as well but that was a one time bad thing on the Wii so it wasn't too much of an issue.

Nothing?

I thought people liked Capitalism though?
People don't demand good games.
Why make them when you can get away with shitty ones?
Here is to the next shitty assass Greed game.

Because different people find different things fun, but a lot of people assume "fun" can only mean bing bing wahoo type gameplay.
Take Zig Forums as a prime example, where the idea that a person might find a story in a video game fun is a completely incomprehensible concept to most of the posters here.

People do like good games, but people will play bland games when there is nothing else to play just to pass the time.

I think a lot of people get locked into what is familiar. When you come home from work, your head hurts, your back hurts, you really don't feel like learning a new game when they are tired. A lot of the gaming world is in that time in their life and in this world. This is where MMO and LoL type games thrive despite being pretty shit.

Its also hard to find games now that aren't something you know. There are so many flooding in people pick a name they know that will give an okay experience over taking the game with what time they have on a game they don't know that may suck or may be amazing. And there isn't a reliable way to know which is which anymore.

>capitalism
A market drowned out by corporate dominance and power is hardly a free market of ideas with fair competition, but yes some blame certainly goes on the consumer. But devs too give up creativity because of a corporate controlled paycheck, even if they want to make a good game they may not be allowed too. Rest in piece Pandemic for example.

"fun" by itself doesn't really mean anything. you could convey the same thing by saying "if you don't like the game, why bother?"
qualifiers for why you like the game or find it fun are needed. when you cannot provide these qualifiers, you're just a brainless NPC and need to reexamine the things you value or just stop posting because you obviously have nothing meaningful to contribute

It's not a controversial statement. Anyone who disagrees simply doesn't like video games as a medium and would rather that it more closely resemble film.

becausw he's a casual

>and need to reexamine the things you value
if your pastime is video games, you nred to reexamine what you value.

I'm not the same guy but I can tell you right now that this fag got filtered by fucking chamical plant act 2 with the large shaft of water you have to climb if you take the main path.

No, if you have a problem with my pastime, you need to reexamine your fucking life. Fuck off normalfag.

Does the guy in the anime fuck his mom?

no because japan is fucking gay

You're worried about anons value in vidya so you're already in normfag territory.

I'm worried about the quality of this fucking board and the dipshits discussing my hobby on it. Obviously you're one of them who cannot be saved, with your "it's just a game bro" tier post. Fuck off retard.

Yeah right. You're another one of these secondaries that think games are anything more than a fucking timesink. You're not learning anything of value from them, you're not getting some "deep message" from them. You're getting your dopamine fix. The fact that you're still in denial over it just proves you're new to this shit, or maybe going through that phase we all went through when we were in our 20s, an existential crisis in relation to vidya.

And no, you're not worried about the quality of anything when you're one of the same retards trying to start flamewars here. You're just another grub crawling around with the rest of them.

It doesn't mean anything. "Fun" just means "good" when speaking of video games. "A good game is good" is a pleonasm.

Kill yourself immediately. OP asked a question and I gave an answer. It relates intrinsically to the quality of the board. "Lol it's just a game" is not insightful or helpful at all. Go away.

I agree

Fun is a nebulous term that is totally and utterly unhelpful when discussing the quality of a game. What does "fun" really mean? Is it something that elicits gleeful joy? Is it something that elicits any kind of positive emotion? Is it merely something that you find enjoyable at all, even if for negative reasons?

There is nothing wrong with it, the problem is that most who use it often do it as a shield towards criticism.
>"You think this is bad? How sad you can be to not like fun?"
Funny thing is this kind of mentality is rampant in anime mostly.

But Halo itself is a fun game, OP's quote is targeting developers who ignore making games fun entirely.
