(12-29-2012, 03:10 AM)Kman Wrote: Yes, but realistic games have their own merits that can make them enjoyable. A lot of those realistic elements can add a new sense of strategy to the game. For example, when there's a gun limit you have to decide what guns would be best in certain situations, and based on how well you are at assessing both the pros and cons of each individual gun and how well you assessed the situation you're going into you'll either get through it easily or have a lot of trouble with it. When there's no health bar, you can never be sure if you have enough health to take on a certain enemy, which can make you think a lot more logically about how you're going to go about taking them on, where as if you had a health bar and you know you have full health you could just run in and mow them all down without worrying.

All it is is a different style of game, that doesn't necessarily make it bad though. There are some really shitty games that aren't realistic at all and some really great games that follow that realistic style of gameplay. They both have their own merits and I think it's narrow minded to assume either style is terrible by default (hence why I felt the need to write that rant).

Agreed, but my main point was: don't bog the game down with pointless realism just for the sake of being "realistic" (which is quite an annoying buzzword in the gaming industry). I appreciate attempts at making the physics, gun mechanics and sound design for example more realistic because these are, arguably, things that can be improved, but I think the games that favor this type of gameplay shy away from elements of fantasy or colorful level design that would otherwise be present. Believe me, I appreciate simulation games as much as the next guy, but I can only take so many before I want to play a legitimately interesting game.
