Also a very large aspect of discussing gaming is subjective. More general gaming sites involve people talking about their favorite games, best game in <genre>, etc. Stack Exchange sites are really anti-subjectivity, which reduces a lot of the potential discussion for gaming. Take this question for example: http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/2168/relaxing-games-for-ps2-closed http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/2168/relaxing-game...
- Lewisham 16y agoThat's exactly the sort of question that gaming forums thrive on. I'm going to have to go through some of the meta-discussion on this site to see what they actually think should be there :/
- tetha 16y agoFor the right games, discussing parts of the game is also really hard and require quite a number of elaboration to get done properly. Just check out the number of theorycraft there is about starcraft BW and 2, about the Civilization games and so on. I just cannot see how this would fit into such a simple question/answer-system, given that quite often there is no single answer. (Consider e.g. Broodwar: What is a strong opening build as zerg? Well.. there are around 3-5 possibilities into 2 possibilities into 2-3 other possibilities, and there is a certain dependency on the enemy and the map. Good luck fitting all of that in a single answer).
