StaceyPowers Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 Sometimes, I see folks say that they do not consider a particular video game or even a whole format for games a “real game.” For you personally, what elements does something require for you to define it as a “game?”
Reality vs Adventure Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 A game is anything that has a challenge, strategy, or interactive story
o-o Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 22 minutes ago, Reality vs Adventure said: A game is anything that has a challenge, strategy, or interactive story Exactly, and also: something you spend your time with (hopefully, having fun haha)
Crazycrab Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) I guess a game could be technically classified as any media experience that is interactive and not just observed, read or listened to. Edited December 21, 2021 by Crazycrab
Kane99 Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Essentially, in my opinion, I consider a game to be a game when there are a few factors: 1. Is there a story? 2. Is there conflict? 3. Is there a challenge you must complete? 4. Is it a puzzle game or more story driven? To me, a game is a game when it combines all of that.
skyfire Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 I think experience, be it for the some sort of the narrative and we have to find our way around and overall game experience is what I seek most of the time.
Empire Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 I love the idea that I can pop in a disc and instantly be transported to a variety of locations. I can be whomever/wherever I want to be. The immersion in games is absolutely incredible. One moment I am exploring a wasteland as a Siren or Vault dwelling average joe. The next moment, I am a commander whose responsibility is to save the entire universe. Gaming allows me to have experiences and adventures that would never be possible. Now excuse me while I get my friend Leonardo da'Vinci to make some improvements to my blade.
Justin11 Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Nice question, not every game worth it for me. Some are simply a makeshift to the real and favourable options. Any game that lacks competition for me isn't a game.
Head_Hunter Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Their is no doubt, I love playing games that offers moral boosting adrenaline rush. Not just playing a one sided packed game and running riot all the time against AI opponents or a fellow gamer with less experience. Edited December 22, 2021 by Head_Hunter
