[ ]Action [ ]Shooters [ ]RPG [ ]Horror [X]Sandbox [X]Simulators [X]2D [X]Strategy Are you currently playing any games on a regular basis? [ ]Yes [X]No Name 2 games you like the most. EvE Online for its realistic graphics, sci-finess, and cutthroat atmosphere created by the players. Technic/Tekkit for its simplistic graphics, technical-orientedness, and how every server can have a different atmosphere depending on players. How many hours do you spend daily in front of the computer? [ ]none [ ]1-2 hrs [ ]3-5 hrs [ ]5-8 hrs [X]more than 8 hrs (Hint: not playing games) Do you consider yourself to be addicted to computer? [ ]Yes [X]No What do you like best about a game? Any game where the devs let the players create the world around them (CCP style, not Arena Net style. I can clarify if needed). This includes minecraft and Tekkit. EDIT: To clarify! (wall O text incoming) First let me explain the concept of phase space: Phase space is a fancy term for describing the range of states something can be in. If you look at atoms classically as having momentum and position, then phase space size is on order of number of atoms raised to the total possible combinations of position and momentum for each atom (hint: that's a very big number). Arena Net and GW2 basically created the entire world of Tyria over again and hand-crafted events for players to do, with worldly consequences already predetermined. Killing a bunch of centaurs for the Seraph? You won't see them stationed in their forts anymore because Arena Net made it that way when you drove them out. That loot you got? Also predetermined RNG choices Arena Net decided. So it's safe to say that Arena Net created a hard-coded world with hard-coded phase space (remember adding that third state to a light switch?). I'd imagine there's only so much a programmer can do, so phase space is on order of world events raised to the average number of states each event has. Now a game that CCP makes, EvE, has the framework for the world and some basic NPC zones, but from there tells players to survive. So if players A want a certain location, they literally fight players B and tear down everything B has done. What changes in the world? B got pooped on, loses their location, and A gets more resources (which then affects an economy not governed by loot drops or RNGs) from that location. CCP didn't tell A or B what to do or dictate how it would affect the game world. Also, your NPC missions and such can be affected by how factional warfare is played out (which again, is entirely up to the players fighting for the faction), the consequences of which are not exactly predetermined by CCP. I would argue the phase-space for EvE online is the number of players raised to the number of choices they make power. In short, the fact that the players in EvE control the game's state (phase space) daily while Arena Net singlehandledly hardcoded the possible game states (phase space) is why I mentioned the CCP vs Arena Net style of "players impacting world". Arena Net derived their world in set NPC and event combinations, while CCP derived their world's states through the players themselves. This is NOT meant to derail the thread at all, keep this guy goin' on his English project! Quote

Good controls are always necessary though, nothing worse than a game with a great idea ruined by terrible control schemes. Quote

As Jay? said, it depends on the genre. I like chaotic, fast-paced action in a 2D sidescroller, but I need a good story in an RPG or I have to write my own. In an FPS I need action and some way to tell what I'm doing actually matters - plus the ability to communicate with others. In fact, in all multiplayer games I need VOIP. Quote
