Video games don't have to be fun to be enjoyable.

This is actually true. Sonic 2006 has brought me much enjoyment in spite of being a steaming turd.

Do movies have to be fun to be enjoyable?

>>388580393
Food doesn't have to taste good to be delicious

>>388581301
Oh shit whattup

>>388580393
This genuinely boggles my mind when I read this in various articles. Said articles usually try to compare it to movies which aren't "fun" to watch except stuff like Schindler's List is compelling to watch.

It doesn't. Just eat some caviar or avocado to see that.

>>388580393
hmmm

What's confusing about it? Video games can be compelling in a narrative sense. Finding enjoyment in a game can come from other areas beyond how fun it feels to play. Like I wouldn't say Scratches is fun, but there's still enjoyment to be found in how it still evokes dread and horror despite using only prerendered backgrounds.

Think of Ico, it's not a fun game bits it's very enjoyable in it's presentation and world design.

>>388580393
Aren't "fun" and "enjoyable" synonymous?

>>388583182
Not necessarily. Something can produce endorphins without stimulating adrenaline, and vice/versa. And it can be wholly dependent on what the individual playing takes enjoyment from

Name one fun but not enjoyable game.
Name one enjoyable but not fun game.

MMO players just say this shit to justify the 90 thousand hours of their lives that they wasted on one game.

no vidya should at least envoke emotion.
Don't say bored is a emotion because it describes a state when you feel nothing.

Undertale
Minesweeper

>>388583850
MMOs are the most fun though because people are dynamic. Nothing beats a good social game

The only way you'd be 100% sure that it's actually from Reddit is if you yourself was from Reddit. Kys.

I don't see how there's any kind of distinction to be made between 'fun' and 'enjoyable', let alone 'intoxicating', 'amusing', 'pleasurable', etc. All of this is just referring to excitement of instincts, which is something we access through feeling.

Yea nice try John Carpenter's The Thing.

>>388584709
Yeah, too bad the content is not.

>>388580393
i agree
but they do have to be rated high to be considered, so if your game is fun AND good, good job.

>>388584386
>correlating fun to sweetness
get that candy store logic outta here

>>388585691
yes
that's how people feel when you say that video games have to be """fun""" to be enjoyable.
