Gaming Why Aren't Games Better?

I don't think games are just "the challenge of fulfilling a difficult task". That's part of the enjoyment. Immersion in the environment and using your imagination to simulate what it would be like to fight in a war without actually getting killed or injured is a big part of the enjoyment people get from games like Modern Warfare. Not just the challenge of a particular task.

If that was the case all people would love their job!!!

 

"This is a great article. Games are not better because the focus is mostly on MP. MP is alot of fun, and engaging and it's fun talking to your buds over xbox live and hanging out without having to go anywhere.
Halo is a great example of a game that at one time people cared about the cast of characters and story and MP was a second thought.

Look at Halo 3 when it launched people waited in a make shift line over night at Gamestop's and whatnot but only because they needed to play the new MP. I asked some people in these lines about how they felt the story was going to possibly play out. Only one person could actually remember the story at all. Most said that it wasn't even important.
makes you wonder if bungie thinks man why have more money than God or the government but it sucks to think we came up with this great universe of characters and gripping sci fi story that has ultimately turned into a tea bag party. "
