I hope you only play social and complex games, /v/.

>>389346553
I play them all excluding sport, rhythm and social media games. Some more and some less, but I do have played every single one from this chart

Everything but social/simple

Why is NFSMW under that category anyway

>>389346643
This.

>>389346553
Why does the non-social scale continue after we've tipped into singleplayer games? Why are some games more social than others even if you play them on your own?

I mostly play fighting games, not SF though. Related to that, how is a shooter more complex than fighting games?

>>389348212
Why do SC players hate SC2 so much?

>>389346553
depending on what category we count clash royale as I've either played all of them or all of them but social media games.
also how the fuck is shooter more complex than a fighting game? also add in roguelikes in the top left

>>389346553

How are they defining complexity to get such an arrangement?

Also, fuck them for calling DmC a "hack 'n slash", those games are fucking beat 'em ups. And fuck all you retards out there who insist on using that label incorrectly rather than admitting fault.

>>389346553
>Fighting games ranked below sandboxes and multiplayer shooters
>puzzle games on the 'Simple' axis when games like 'The Witness' exist
>Starcraft is a 'highly social' game

Assuming this came from an actual academic paper, I'd peer-review this by mashing my keyboard and printing the result as 'feedback', because they evidently expended about the same effort in their 'research'. What a fucking waste of funding.

>>389346553
>fighting games less complex than MMOs or shooters
as someone that's played competitive fps games since the 90s, that's just incorrect

One of my best friends was a huge BWfag, so I asked him once. Apparently SC2 is really poorly balanced and plays like ass compared to Brood War, but I'm not entirely surprised, considering D2 to D3 was a gun-to-the-head assassination of one of the greatest action RPGs and video games ever made.

you've never played a single rhythm game, have you

>>389349464
Guitar hero has the simplest fucking mechanics. Complex and hard are two different things.

>>389349015
This. That's another beef I have with this figure; the 'complexity' scale isn't a good qualitative measure as it's almost arbitrary, especially if it's purely based on the researcher's preconceptions of a 'complex game'.

the solo games nearer the centre tend to generate stories you can tell others, further left and you're basically all getting the same solo experience

Sorry m80 but human opponents will never be as convenient as an AI is

>play offline against humans

>various difficulty levels, no lag, no downtime seeking for an opponent
>limitations: much worse at co-op than humans, and game developers are increasingly lazy in implementing them

I hope you play all sorts of games, anon. You aren't a casual are you?

>>389351859
To add to this - human opponents will never be as consistent as AI is.

Winning or losing against humans is basically meaningless because of human error and variance.

This is pretty much the extent of what I play, except replace those series with God Hand, Castlevania, Puyo Puyo, and Bemani. Shmups as well but I imagine they'd fall around the same area.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

At least they correctly nailed its complexity

>>389347905
I think they might be talking about how complex a game is at pretty much it's lowest levels, I guess? Like, MMOs tend to be pretty complex and difficult to get a hold of, to start with. Fighting games on the other hand you can just pick up and play.

Obviously anyone with any sense can see that complexity can be all over the place. Fighting games are intensely complicated at their highest level of play, but at the base? Pretty simple, really.

>social
Kill yourself, social games are disgusting

>>389346553
Nope. Right now, I only play single-player games that are fairly simple and mindless. I always played single-player exclusively anyway, and my current mental state isn't great, so I have a hard time getting into something complex unless I've played it before and already know how it works.
