An opinion isn't worth much to begin with since it's an entirely subjective idea, thus it doesn't need defended unless you feel the need to have others agree with it. "I don't fucking give a shit what you think" is just as valid an explanation as some long drawn out 'argument'.

No, internet discussion does not require a formal academic thesis.

Fun, for example, is ultimately pretty fucking subjective. No one is ever going to prove that a game is fun, because that makes no sense. Individuals are going to decide that they think a particular game is fun, and at the best they will be able to tell you why they personally found it fun, and if you didn't agree with them their explanations aren't going to persuade you.

Deep is also pretty objective. Evangelion, for example (since it's in the image) - it's a story about a bunch of fucked up kids with unfulfilled emotional needs who have the choice between letting Tang Jesus into their hearts and making everything better or telling Tang Jesus to fuck off and overcoming their problems on their own. Some people are going to say that that seems deep, and some people are going to say that that reminds them of that weird kid they knew in highschool who wore eyeliner and wrote bad poetry.

Even challenge is difficult to objectively measure, because some people feel that certain kinds of challenge are not as valid as others. Challenge through repetition, for example (i.e. "how far back do you go when you die") is pretty contentious. The longer it is between checkpoints, the less likely you are to be able to "luck" your way from one checkpoint to the next, but it also means that as you replay the content between those checkpoints, parts that were previously challenging will become merely annoyingly time-consuming. For example, consider Enter the Gungeon - you will be bored shitless of how easy the first level is long before you unlock the shortcut to skip it, and then if you do use a shortcut you can't earn credits on that run. It goes from challenging my skills to challenging my patience. That's not real challenge.

Well if someone asks you about a game it's very rude to just reply with "fun" since it doesn't really tell them anything.
>>
An example. Game is fun because the combat system is fun. Why is the combat system fun? Because it's fast and responsive and it's fun to do the combos and learning to do them is fun. Why are those things fun then?

Yeah saying a game is fun is legit because it just can be fun.

But your friend has a different taste to you, what you find fun may aggravate him instead, and if he just takes your "it's fun" as a consumer advise, buys the game and find out he hates it, it's your fault because you couldn't properly explain what you find appealing about that game.

I think you just read too much into it. Something I could see is that writing was all over the place and changed as they went on.
Like during the first two thirds of the original series Shinji actually develops very well and becomes very manly up to the point when he quit on his own volition because he was almost made to kill one of his friends on purpose. Up until then it was a very standard shonen mecha anime

Then for some reason everything becomes a sob story, they start throwing a lot of faux symbolism and they rushed the ending in to "Congratulations".

If someone can not figure out whether he will enjoy a game or not by watching a video of its gameplay, he is for all intents and purposes brain dead to me.

This is why I will never understand people who depend on reviews. The only possible excuse I could find for them is if maybe the game pulls a 180 in the middle or is horribly bugged and you can't find that out by watching gameplay. Anything else and you're a retard who needs to be told what he enjoys. If you played the first Disgaea and enjoyed it, and then played the second and enjoyed it, and then played the third, and the 4th gets announced and looks the same except slightly better, and you still can't decide whether you will like it or not, then yeah you're a lost cause.

And Shinji doesn't really deals with any real world problems that reflect japanese society. If that were the case Shinji would at least be in highschool, not middle school. Hell the world is anything but unfair around him, he lives a privileged life in comparison to others. Others depend and rely on Shinji, not the other way around.

The deals more with family issues, actually. It is stated within the series that Shinji acts seeking mostly his father's approval and a big chunk of the series is about the mother-son relationship between Misato and him.

removing toppings from the equation, something like a dominoes pizza is vastly different from an italian pizza or home cooked pizza, despite objectively being basically the same thing

if you went to a restaurant and you saw them just putting a dominoes pizza on a plate you'd be mortified etc

That's not logical. Science is all about cause and effect, and if a studio is making a game, they should have an understanding of what's ultimately entertaining.

Vivian is ultra cute, how could you dislike her?
>>
this is perfectly valid. saying that a game is "fun" is no different than just saying "I liked it." if you're reviewing a game or trying to convince someone that it's good you should explain why it was fun.

>characters were well written
>combat was responsive
>soundtrack fit the levels well

these points explain why you thought the game was fun. just saying "it was fun" doesn't tell you shit.

They should, they don't. Do you think they do a research of what the public wants? It's easier to invest on marketing.

The developers know what makes their game entertaining, it's part of the design process.
But players might not agree that it's the most fun thing in the world to climb all these watchtowers for the same cutscene that reveals the map and then do nearly identical missions with QTE combat. Because entertainment is subjective.

>>341494658
This is a weird fallacy of illicit transference.

In order to be successful, a business needs to have an understanding of what a certain audience will find "fun." That does not imply there is a universal, objective definition of fun. It implies that there are a bunch of people who share an individual, subjective definition of fun - and that you can make money by giving them what they want.

You're not Spock, here. You're just an idiot playing pretend-smart. Painfully awkwardly, at that.

Pretty much this, except that the point of Artforms is to be able to properly manifest your conceptual standard, not watering it down for an audience. The most proper example of this is painting an Apple that's right in front of you. If that is your main objective, yet you paint a nice orange instead, then i can easily failed to paint the apple properly (though i would commend you on doing a nice Orange).

Entertainment on the other hand has a lot to do with understanding the psyche and the preferences of a vast and ever-changing audience. Of course, this variety means you will never be able to cater to LITERALLY everyone, but your job is to whore out to the largest group possible to ensure your product can be profitable.

Art is actually easier to quantify on its own as it has a set standard inspirational basis for its expression and fulfillment.

Entertainment is quantified by how many people "liked" it and bought into it.

Stop.

Anime is a fucking bad meme, 90% of anime is pure pandering to the viewers.

On the other hand, sometimes anime can mean something, but not exactly intentionally.

Let me explain, remember when Beelzemon saves the little girl in Digimon 3? That was a really emotional moment, but not deep in the least, the feelings are there without any need to search for a meaning.

Most weeb cartoons try so hard to make a anime different. For instance, death note.
Death note is the most pretentious shit that has come from anime.

If you really want something deep read a book or watch a good film, even fucking play a videogame like Stanley Parable, but don't watch chink cartoons please.

>bullshit, if the pizza doesn't taste good for 99% of your customer base

Heavy emphasis on "customer base". Different products have different customer bases. Ever heard the phrase 'it's an acquired taste' ?

There's lots of nasty foods out there that's only appealing to a remote 10% of the population.

And that 10% is honestly enough. Only an idiot would think that something has to appeal to nearly EVERYONE to be remotely profitable. You work in the fast food industry or something?

Not an argument.

There are games that aren't really fun. There are things that would, overall, make them fun.

More like

This is the problem. Nobody is saying your fun is fake. Its just that when people want to know about a product they expect you to provide details about it that demonstrate the positive or negative outcome that you reached.

>what is fun about dark souls 3
gee I don't know, maybe the difficult fights? the thing that people play this whole series for?
>>
>>341499850
Well there you go, its a start. But like the OP says you cant just say a game is 'difficult' because thats vague and gives you no idea what it derives the difficulty from. If someone said they liked difficult games it doesn't necessarily imply that they will enjoy Dark Souls or even think it is difficult. Thats why you describe what is difficult about it and how you think it contributes to the game's success. This is REAL game discussion that rarely occurs here anymore.

Well, seeing as how the only reason to "support" your opinion on a videogame is to have an internet dick-measuring contest in front of an audience, then it isn't important to begin with.

You need to back up your opinion in law, science, and real world decision making. What videogames you prefer is a child's argument.

2deep4u is just a long-running joke about Evangelion. So it's associated with false depth.

It does have depth, but it isn't philosophical or plot depth. Not even close. It has a lot of emotional depth that's very apparent if you've ever been depressed, had bottom-of-barrel self esteem, or felt unable to appropriately communicate your emotions to others like a well developed adult (common traits among the kind of people who love Evangelion).

There's no such thing as a game being objectively entertaining.

Arguments to the contrary just prove you're autistic.
