Current Events > do you find realism in games fun?

(+) Yeah! (+)

like dying in one hit and stuff like that?

no

But you can take more than one hit irl.

I want an actual football simulation game so badly

Depends on if its fun.

I largely prefer arcade style in gaming. Especially in racing and fighting games.

Depends on the game.

I actually do like realistic games, but the game has to be made for it.

Survival horror games, even with a supernatural element rely on the protagonist being merely human and relatable.

An RPG with supernatural elements where I'm expected to defeat countless orcs and face wizards that can call meteors from the sky to crash into my party...or an FPS where I'm supposed to single handedly destroy a Nazi army... maybe less realism.

depends on the game

If my skyrim character doesn't have a bladder meter than what's the point.

Which button is "breathe"?

Depends, but stuff like Red Dead Redemption 2 where Arthur opens cabinets and grabs each item individually, loots each body with a full animation, that sort of realism is too much. Let me tap a button and be done with it.

Usually not really. Some realism can be fun, but it's usually tedious in my opinion.

After a quick Google search I did find a mod for immersive and realistic breathing that adapts to the state your character is in. I don't think it requires manual inputs but neither does breathing normally that is until you're thinking about it.

I don't hate it as a concept, but I mostly find that when games or aspects of games get touted for their realism I do not enjoy the result and would rather they focus on being good games instead.

Further, I think that immersion, which really mostly is the goal of realism is better achived by creating the world in question in a way that makes sense and feels depthful in its own context, rather than by making it as realistic as possible.

I love Monster Hunter and I feel greatly immersed in the world from how the monsters are mostly well crafted to appear to me like something that makes sense as existing within that universe, given space for stuff like health bars and damage threshholds and what not. And when the games test my patience with anime bullshit like Magnamalo I get annoyed.

Ever play Manual Samuel?

Not a fan. Its a game, its not supposed to be real

within limits. something most mod makers fail to understand.

Depends on the game and such.

Something I wouldn't approve of is say having to stop at gas stations in GTA.

Not usually, no. Most of the time I'm just looking for a fantastical power trip.

To a point. Reloading guns makes sense, but I don't want to have to put gas in my car.

Do you usually drive far enough in a GTA game that it ought require a refill?
