| Topic | I liked Fallout 3 (for the looting, same with Skryim), but not Fallout NV |

I had plenty of fun playing NV, so I guess everything you were talking about by "adding or removing fun" was just sorta moot? I think I explained it pretty well. (I don't see how you can say I didn't make a point, I very clearly did.) The subjective sensual experience of playing a game is not something we often focus on. We might say a game has good music or cool sound effects, but the total aesthetic that a game captures is, I don't think, something we identify very often, other than to say it had "good atmosphere" or something. so as I said, for me, the total aesthetic of Fallout 3 was good enough that I can enjoy the game despite its endless flaws, and the opposite is true of NV (I don't enjoy its aesthetic despite the endless technical ways in which it's superior to F3). and yes, this is necessarily subjective, so another person may enjoy something I don't and vice-versa. that's kind of the point. the subjective experience of playing the game can be just as or perhaps more important than the objective mechanical parts of the game. how the game feels when you play it can be more important than what the game looks like on paper. (this is why, for example, music is often such a surprisingly important part of a game. objectively it shouldn't be important at all but instead it's very often one of most memorable parts of a game.) --- ...
