Name one game that isn't fun that's good

Dank Souls

>>322424175
That is kind of the point of playing video games after all.
>>
If I am not deriving joy from playing the game, I'm 99% sure that it's not a good game. Even in story-focused games, if they are not enjoyable, they are not good. A game that would somehow be "good" despite not being at all fun to play would imply that it's well-made, and if the draw is that it's a game that's intentionally unfun, joy would be derived from muscling through the unfun elements of the game. If it is genuinely not fun to play, it's just a bad game.

This is what the original ''fun is a buzzword'' guy was trying to tell you stupid fucks.
Fun is subjective. If you say a game is good because it's fun it doesn't mean anything. A game doesn't need to be fun for you to be considered good. You might think Witcher 3 is boring and not fun at all because there's too much dialogue, but that doesn't make the game bad. And if you are the kind of person who enjoys Witcher 3 because the story then you are going to think it's fun, and just because you think it's fun it doesn't automatically make the game good.

Who said anything about enjoyment, you stupid fuck?
You can enjoy a good meal or a glass of vine. You don't have a fun meal or a fun vine.
You morons need to learn that words have meanings and they are used in different contexts. It's entirely possible for a game to not be fun at all, but still be enjoyable and really great games.
Deus Ex is pretty much the most loved game on /v/, and that's not a fun game. You don't play Deus Ex while giggling in amusement over how FUN the game is. Same with every stealth game, classic RPG or horror game.

Dota 2

dont find it fun anymore but its a good competitive game for sure
>>
>>322426406
enjoyment correlates with fun though.
If you are having fun you usually enjoy it.
How do Americans not get this?

>>322424175
This is the most retarded thing I've seen on /v/, and I hope every single one of you objectivity faggots get so depressed that you finally commit suicide.

What are you, a fucking Britcuck?
Words have meanings. The antonym of fun is boredom. The antonym of enjoyment is dislike and hate.
I wonder how people on /v/ manage to even post when they don't understand basic English. How do you find your keyboard?

I can't believe this. I've only been here since 2011 so I'm still a fucking newfag but holy shit, have we actually degraded since then? Back when the guy posted that fun was a buzzword he was mocked incessantly. People even put fun in spoilers for more than a year after that to mock him.

Now people are actually taking him seriously. I don't even know what to think anymore. If you had fun in a video game that's literally all that matters to the player.
>>
>>322426945

Never fucking reply to me again unless you`re contributing to the thread.
>>
>>322427706
Because as you can see in >>322426969 fun just means you enjoy yourself. Food is a shit example because we just commonly don't use the word fun when talking about food. Not because you don't get enjoyment (which is what it means) but because its more common to use the word taste. Yes shithead, taste is the "fun" factor for food, texture as well. Would you try to argue that food that taste like shit is still good?

Spot the difference, retard. Especially the antonyms and synonyms.
Notice how the only thing the words have in common is that they are about amusement, which is another word you should look up.
>woooow, look at that, these words have some similarity and they are used in kind of similar context
>so it's means 100% the same thing! DUUDE

Holy shit calm down senpai. They have both amusement and pleasure in common. Also don't act like you have some great grasp on the word. In >>322426406 you literally think in order to be having fun you have to be "giggling in amusement" which is hilariously retarded. Calm you autism friend and you might learn something.
>>
op is right, but those kinds of games don't appeal to me, i like fun
>>
>>322429617
It takes autism to both not understand fairly obvious sarcasm and not understand the subtleties of language.
You guys are fucking retarded and probably autistic when you can't differentiate between a noun and a verb that have different meaning that any non-autistic kid would pick up before they turn 6.
It's fucking sad that the vast majority of people on /v/ don't even understand basic things, and then they think their opinion matters.
