Games aren't supposed to be anything.
I've been a champion for more immersion and narative in games, but there are plenty of great games that have no interest in immersion and they aren't worse off for it.
- digi_owl 11y agoYep. To paraphrase Freud, sometimes a game is just a game.
- stuxnet79 11y ago> Games aren't supposed to be anything. I personally find this to be a very narrow minded take on the issue. While a game may be great without having any pretensions to being "immersive" there is no harm in analyzing and trying to abstract away what we might consider to be an essential element of a "great" game. Of course you will be taken more seriously if your argument is on firmer footing than the article's writer. I urge you to read Homo Ludens by Johan Huizinga if you haven't. It will change the way you look at video games and any sort of sport physical or otherwise.
