Just how a game feels to play. Doesn't necessarily make a game good on its own.
For example, Richter mode in SotN has some of the most satisfying game feel ever, but it's still not a well-designed experience.
The abstract feeling that the player experiences when they see the animations and sounds of a game after pressing buttons. Its a stupid as hell way to put it and probably well above Arin's thinking capabilities to understand such a thing but that's my best attempt to explain it. An example everybody always gives is the Super Shotgun in Doom 2, it just feels right when its fired.

Arin is so ugly holy shit
Game feel is an actual term that only really got a bad rep once Egoraptor started using it as his de facto answer to everything.

He invented it, ask him. Or better yet, click some ads and help me out by subscribing.

Hand holding without holding your hand.
Its when the game doesn't feel janky as shit to play.

"I want to say that I like/dislike playing this game, but I want it to sound more objectively and less like an opinion".

responsiveness and control
The way the game feels.
Replace "gamefeel" with "comfy" and reconsider whether it's an opinion worth taking into consideration.

Arin's a pretentious retard.
You know how there seem to be some facts which are nonphysical? Like you might be able to know everything about the physical science of sight but you don't know what it feels like to see red unless you actually see it. This feeling of what it is to experience something is called a conscious state. So gamefeel is the conscious state brought about by a game. There might be concrete design elements that lead to this, but it's generally a nonphysical trait that's almost like atmosphere but from an interactivity point of view. At least that's my take on it.

Comfy is a thing though, usually low-difficulty scenarios with good atmosphere and makes the player immersed.
that thing that allows players to enjoy the content seamlessly, by his definition, I think.
Even after reading the whole thread I still have no clue what the fuck game feel is supposed to mean.
Can I just go on a tangent here and say how much I hate this faggot? I mean I know it's an unspoken fact but shit, he's just horrible, along with the easily impressed jew and his alien wife.I hear one of them, the jew is coming to a convention near by and feel like doing something about it.
I mean seriously, I remember day one of this series being just fine, nothing I would bring up. But now it's shitty.

But it has no practical utility to use this is any critical or analytical sense to use such an abstraction.
The entire point of analysis is to break down such abstraction into the concrete elements that form them.

>What the fuck even is game feel?
A made up term used by faggots that have sold out.

You're right it is a thing that is difficult, maybe impossible to break into concrete parts, but it's difficult to ignore in analysis if it's very important to a game
>>336036010
It's the feel of a game

It can't be important to the analysis of a game, if it can't be explained or interpreted coherently and concretely.
