Games don't have to be fun

We traditionally think of games as something fun, but leave that concept behind, and you open up a lot of possibilities.

I had almost no fun playing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, yet I still got all 60 achievements....

e-p-ayeaH4597d ago (Edited 4597d ago )

that makes perfect sense... s/

theonlylolking4597d ago

Oblivion was a horrible game. Skyrim on the other hand...

Lazy_Sunday4597d ago (Edited 4597d ago )

I don't understand how you hate Oblivion, unless you played it like yesterday. Play it 5 years ago and that game was the SHIT bro.

NagaSotuva4597d ago

Oh, I didn't hate it...just didn't have much fun with it. And yeah, I played it for the first time a few months ago.

Lazy_Sunday4596d ago

I understand. You guys get all the hype from us veteran players who've logged 400 hours of gametime in Cyrodiil and the Shivering, yet you can't understand how we could have possible abstained that torture. It's the same reason I could never get into Half Life 2--yes, it's a great game, but it's mechanics and graphics are quite outdated, even with 12GB of mods I can't understand the interest like the people who played it at or around release.

Is there a way to check out this Phone Story game now?

jc485734597d ago (Edited 4597d ago )

Some boring games are actually pretty good. I think over half of my games are boring.

kma2k4597d ago

Its funny there are a handful of games ive played this generation that i thought the geams were just meh but were fun to play. Red Faction: Armagedon is a perfect example of it. Ask people what they thought & most will just tell you its an ok game but its fun.

Games need to immerse the player that's all it needs.

Take SP focus games they immerse through setting, story, characters sometimes only one of the three or all of them at the same time.

Multiplayer focused games immerse through competition. That adrenaline rush of ten seconds left and one kill away from winning. Or the dynamics of teamwork.

Casual games like angry birds also immerse. They are played casually which means the immersion comes from the quick objectives. They may not immerse one heavily into it's world but it does immerse people well enough to both make a person put reality in the backseat and focus on something that's less stressful and be ready when that immersion needs to be broken.

Most importantly the fluidity of the gameplay is the most key aspect, since you don't want to break that immersion against your will. All in all, all games need are immersion to be good.

L.A. Noire And Bully — Rockstar's Lost Gems That Deserve A Sequel As Much As GTA

Hanzala from eXputer: "I do appreciate GTA 6, Rockstar, but if I could trade it for a new L.A. Noire or a Bully game, I'd do so in a heartbeat."

How are they lost? You can get L.A. Noire on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch and Bully is on the PS5 and Xbox Series too.

Psychonaut8518d ago

I want a new Manhunt game. But that will never happen.

Demetrius17d ago

Mfs are too sensitive nowadays and would cry instead of being concerned bout real world problems

Demetrius17d ago

Whenever gta 6 launch we won't be getting another rockstar title for another 10 years lol but on the positive side they bou to come back n show how open world supposed to be done 🔥

Skuletor17d ago

I won't expect any singleplayer DLC like IV's The Lost & Damned or The Ballad of Gay Tony after it launches either

12 Years Later, L.A. Noire is Still an Excellent Experience

There was a lot to love about Rockstar and Team Bondi's 2011 open world title.

One I never finished. I've been looking at the ps4 version off Amazon the last few months just never bit

Knightofelemia122d ago

It's worth playing LA Noire is one of my favorite Rockstar games. But I would also check out pawnshops or thrift stores if you want the game dirt cheap. Someone may have been dumb enough to dump the game.

andy85123d ago

Baffles me when people have these opinions about acclaimed games 😂

RhinoGamer88123d ago

100% agree... not perfect, but an engaging/refreshing experience.

sagapo123d ago

Agree, at time of release those facial expressions were amazing! They still hold strong even today imo.
The game on its own was good. Something fresh, but sidequests were a bit meh after a while.

Nacho_Z123d ago

I picked it up on sale recently, going to play it next summer. I'll get more out of it this time, first time around I treated the open world like it was GTA and goofed about, whereas now I'll play it with more respect. RDR2 has trained me well.

I also hadn't read Raymond Chandler at the time so presumably that'll add another layer of enjoyment too.

1nsomniac123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

Absolutely stunning game. So underrated. Played through it again last year and it still stands up so well. Like many of rockstars games it’s actually a far better experience on PC. I didn’t enjoy it as much on console. Completed it at least 3 times on pc.

The rumours of a sequel are awesome news despite the fact I think Rockstar are now the shell of the company they once were.

SyntheticForm123d ago

Team Bondi made a hell of a game.

Historically accurate from the past is tough to truly know and judge especially the farther you go back because history is written from the people in power and doesn’t mean it’s the truth just the narrative they wanted to tell.

I don’t care about historically accurate in most games because they are games not biographies or history books . Just make the game fun , good gameplay and such .

Ghost of Tsushima wasn’t historically accurate in many things but I loved the game . Many examples like it .
