>Fun is no longer a good reason to like a game.
>I like it because it's fun
No
Fucking
Shit
Just say it's comfy instead.
Nope, it is just not a good reason to say it is good because it is fun.
Because anything could be fun for someone
>>337502165
Any game could be good or bad to someone.
>>337501721
Fun IS you liking a game, it's not a good argument for trying to get others to like it though.
>>337502265
Welp my point is you should rather post what makes it good/bad and not just "it is fun"
That's a pretty subjective statement
then again, so is all of /v/.
what is more likely to appear next year
a new animal crossing game or a new splatoon game?
Who are you quoting?great thread, faggot OP
It's good because it's good
>>337501721
It is a reason.
You need to stop listening to the contrarian retards on this board. If you have fun with a game, it's okay to like it.
A game doesn't have to be incredibly intricate or well designed to be good. If you have fun with it, what's the problem?
>>337502617
SplatoonRemaster.
>>337502286
I don't need to get others to like it.
>Stop playing that game, it's casual therefore a bad game
>It's fun
>NO IT'S NOT! IT'S NOT 1080 60 FPS! THERE'S NO SKILL INVOLVED.
>But it's fun
>STOP LYING TO YOUSELF
>>337502617
animal crossing
splatoon just came out and ac hasn't had an actual game for a good while
>>337501721
On /v/'s mentality it has to be the perfect form of escapism, which goes beyond fun.
Says who?
>>337502617
Splatoon amiibo festival
>>337502841
Nice strawman argument.
>>337502841
Oh hush, nobody here can actually make you stop playing games. Maybe try and get a conversation going without involving yourself.
>>337502841
a game cannot be legitimately fun if there's no skill involved
>>337503225
Legitimately fun as opposed to what? Illegitimately fun?
>>337503123
It's exactly how /v/ argues about games. If a game doesn't require you 1000 hours to master then it's bad and not fun.
>>337503225
Yes it can. Look at Mario Party, Mario Kart, Smash, or DOTA.
>>337502806
If you have fun doing heroin whats the problem?
>>337502165
Welcome to the wonderful world of subjective opinions
>>337503395
>Look at Mario Party, Mario Kart, Smash, or DOTA.
do you honestly think those games prove me wrong?
>>337503604
>subjective opinions
That's pretty redundant tbqhf
>>337503395
All of those games involve some kind of skill, what are you talking about?
>>337503395
Are you the retard who was arguing you had to spend 10 hours a day playing DOTA to compete but it took no skill?
I'm glad you like ironically shitposting OP
>>337503693
Those games require no skill and are still fun. So yeah, I just proved you wrong.
>>337503785
not naming the file "needs a filename"
>>337503817
How are they fun, Anon.
Actually I'll make it simpler for you, how is Smash fun?
>>337503395
Animal Crossing involves skill you nigger. It's MUCH more fun if you have an actual plan and are familiar with the game. I'm going to say normal people probably can't into AC because it's "too confusing" what you're actually doing in game. Yes it's a babies game but if you like it it probably means you've played most of the series.

If you don't need this that kindly retreat to place where you play it and stop telling people they are "contrarian" when your entire argument for game quality is "it's fun".
>>337503949
Because it's a competitive game with characters I like. I know a lot people will disagree with me about it being "competitive". But it's competitive to me and that's why it's fun.
>>337501721
>i like it because its fun

That YOU like, I get that, but why should I care about what you like though?
Why does being competitive make it inherently fun for anyone? How does that make it fun for you?

t. everyone in this thread
>>337504029
You're forgetting how "what makes a game fun" factors in. Sometimes, it's fun for certain people because of certain reasons. Sometimes, it ISN'T fun for certain people because of certain reasons. It all depends on the player and what they like.
>>337501721
> can't like a game unless it's 75+ on metacritic
>>337504379
But, see, competitive games aren't fun, therefore it's wrong for you to have fun playing Smash.
>>337504638
No one should care about why anyone likes anything. Yet there are threads telling people they shouldn't like X game.
>>337505040

I sold the bullshit Uncharted pack back to Gamestop, which came with the PS4 because I felt like it was just a shitty run-and-gun game with a shitty platforming angle

>it's not a nintendo game so it's not fun
>>337505175
So we can question their opinion but we aren't allowed to question your opinion?
>>337505317
It's a climbing game with run and gunning tacked on.
The shooting that's there is very good, it just feels like you spend 50% of the game climbing or driving a speedboat/jeep around with no enemies
>>337505676
How is their opinion being questioned? They're telling me I shouldn't like X game. They can have any opinion on the game they want, but they shouldn't be telling me that I shouldn't like it because of their own opinions on it.
Let's say it's a game we all played and no one in the thread gives a shit about "professional" reviews/metacritic.
Everyone here seems mixed about the game. Some like it, some hate it.
Someone says they don't like the game because the gameplay is clunky and unintuitive.
Then, someone decides to claim the gameplay is fine because
>it's fun
How is that a valid argument? What MAKES the gameplay "fun"? Why did this man have to be so vague?
"It's fun" is a good enough reason to like a game.
"It's fun" is a bad reason to use when explaining why you liked a game. It's essentially saying "I like it because I like it."
>>337502165
He said reasons for him to like the game not reasons why it's good.
>>337501721
This has been the case for years, it was a thing before you were born.

>i don't want to convince others that something is good
>so i'm going to publicly defend my game and call people contrarian on an ancient egyptian basket weaving forum
Okay, so you like it. Go play it. Stop bitching that other people don't like it if you don't want to actually try to explain it in a way that would appeal to people who specifically did not have fun with it yet.
Or go to /vg/ or an actual fucking specialized forum if you want to talk about it. This place is a meeting ground for shitposters, not a place to find friends.
>>337504592
Even if it's circular reasoning, they're having fun
Their bubble of ignorance is entirely harmless in this case, no need to pop it
Either that or they're just not entirely sure why they liked it
>>337506998
>Stop bitching that other people don't like it
No one is doing that. It's about people getting mad that others like a game when they think it's bad.
>>337501721
It's a fine reason to like a game, but it's subjective, so it shouldn't be used to judge the quality of a game.
/thread
fun
>>337506351
Often games are still fun even though they have large problems with their mechanics, and when somebody replies with 'its fun!' they are actually saying 'its fun in spite of the problems you mention'. Its a catchall term that says the game makes a cohesive and enjoyable whole even though it has issues.
Eg:
Mariokart is fun, in spite of the horrific rubber banding, crap weapon variety and complete lack of innovation
>>337501721
Fun is always a reason to life a game. Saying a game is good because its fun provides nothing for feedback and discussion. Bad games can be fun to play too
>>337503584
analogies on /v/ seriously need to be a bannable offense, I'v never seen people this fucking retarded they can't do a simple correct analogy.
>>337507358
this is entirely a thread about bitching that other people won't take "fun" for an answer, try defining the argument somewhere else
>>337501721
fun is a vacuous description. it may be true someone likes a game and finds it "fun" - however they describe it. however, telling someone "It's fun" when asked why you like a game is wasting their time.
why is it fun?
>>337506351
Clunky and unintuitive are also vague as fuck, and they are generally used wrong.
>watching video game roundtable podcast
>talking about their game of the year so far

>>337501721
>>337502165
Saying something is fun is a perfectly valid reason as to why you like a game, but it's not a valid reason when arguing whether or not a game is good since it's subjective rather than objective.
>trusting /v/'s taste in games
Only thing this board gets right is the critiques.
>>337502165
>>337502165
Only if the goal is to analyze a game objectively.
>Stop playing overwatch. It's a no skill casual game, which makes it a bad game.
>But it's fun.
Seems like a valid argument to continue playing the game.
>>337508751
You're not having fun, you think you are, but you're not.
>>337508751
There's nothing wrong with playing a game because you find it fun. It'll be a problem if other developers see they can get away with cutting corners and start doing the same. Not that it's not being done already.
