No more Fun in games .. wait.




Recently i've encountered people with different opinions about the FUN-factor in the games.
This post , promotes game's excellence , over fun. I disagree.




Fun is a MUST in any game. It's what makes a game. So it's a variable not to be underestimated.
Let's look the other way. I find it the opposite of fun to be boring.
Would you play a boring game just for it's excellence ? Furthermore , Can an excellent game be boring?

IMHO , since the nature of fun is to be related to the subject (player) , people describe fun relative to their own opinions (ex. RPG gamers like storyline, customization, Driving game fans like speed , Action fans like , well , action :) ) .
So , in essence , let's say that an action fan will not enjoy an RPG , but will still think it has quality. So , he'll quit it after 4 hours of gameplay , not because the game lacks excellence , but because it's no fun.

Enjoy your games.
