Some games have such great production that the fun is drowned out. Why do we play games? We play for the fun. If i wanted to watch a movie id watch a movie DUR. So much attention goes into graphics and environment and effects that they forget about connect game play. Sure we all love graphics but even a super hero detailed fit to a T could have bore ing game play. So what makes a game fun? In my opinion the core of fun games come to one word. Variety. The more things you can do in a game the more involved you will be. Each genre needs it. RPGs: More charecters the better. More fighting commands, more spells story line arcs choices sides ect. Platformers: More moves, levels ect. FPS more guns, physics systems, option to kill all living things not just bad guys. Even sports. More multiplayer options online, teams old and new and ofcourse creat a team/player or car. Imagein a hack and slash game. The variety would be best suited here. Diablo 2 does this best. More weapons then you can count, a good number of classes with a array of skills at disposal. Champions of norrath, good variety but they should clean up there choices and add more. MMORPGs everquests World of war craft. Imagein all the things you can do then add. People would love just to hang out at the tavern, haveing your Dwarves and Elves being made to design to sit, and just chat away, showing mods eating and ect. Thats addictive and alluring no? Innovation is a risky fun factor to. Also what else makes a fun game is charecter design and development. A awesome character for you to control keeps you enthrawled. Its you , you control you lead them. Why would you want to be some regular average looking dork? This is what i think makes games fun.
