Re: Re: Re: your favorite game for each setting.
Yes, no, maybe. I can't see people buying a game because of the suject matter regardless whether the game itself is fun or not. If a game is not fun, the subject matter simply doesn't sell.
Actually, neither. Computer games are interactive, books and films are passive. I do not deny that one can design computer games to potray something accurately, in fact some publishers such as Talonsoft do exactly that.
Didn't you see the smilie?
As I said, subject matter is not the overriding concern.
Com'on, everybody knows The Sims is not a simulation.
I dunno. I bought SimCity not because of urban planning, it's because it's sorta like a god game.
I think you have them reversed. Show me some Sunday gamers who are interested in getting grognard games

I dont see your point. I go to the movies for fun. And yet i pick a movie based in large part on its subject matter. The subject matter IS PART OF THE FUN.

Similarly i read books for fun. Yet I tend to think of the books ive read by subject matter.
If games are a medium just like films or books, WHICH THEY CAN BE - then the subject matter is relevant.

But i think it makes no less sense to approach games by subject matter. Certainly not insane.

Loads of people who play Simcity are interested in cities and urban planning.

Of course these people are the dreaded "sunday gamers" Not the "hardcore" gamers who want the latest RTS who cares what the subject matter is - after all most of the clone type RTS are lousy models of ANY particular subject matter anyway, Right?
