NateR31 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) So after completing my first game in 6weeks for uni (to an extent, still lots of bugs) (Shameless plug, http://www.killer-byte.net ) I plan to make another one, but with some fresh ideas, id prefer to make a shooting game but im also looking into the iphone/android side of things.. What are some of you guys favorite games and why? What makes it appeal most to you? what do you think makes a game "fun"?

DivHunter Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Immersive, player driven story. Multiplayer / Co-op Graphics and audio that isn't necessarily top of the line but well tested. For mobile games it's pretty much shiny things + addictiveness that gets sales or remakes of classics that can run on slower hardware. I don't play mobile games.

RusH_ Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 agreed with the mobile games, smooth animation helps a lot with aesthetics, as long as it has an addictive concept, you pile on 200 levels and have a killer game (no pun intended) take angry birds on the iphone, huge seller and very addictive, yet a hugely simple game as well as having nice smooth gameplay.

MSTRshenanigans Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Simple yet addictive is key to a good small game but doesn't always mean long life. I like to unlock things and have a metagame involved.

Mr Eps Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) i tell you what. i give you an idea that will make you crap yourself. art thou ready? okay. sidescrolling fighter. so simplistic. so hard to beat. so much fun think double dragon meets street fighter. in a cartoon 2d environment. think 8bit music. think cutesy cartoon graphics. but think voilence. think easy. yet think nearly IMPOSSIBLE to beat. think no plot at all. if there is to be plot. think an easy yet random one. like some mobster guido stole his 240Z. and he has to fight 10,000 other guidos to get it back. think three lives. think wooden crates. baseball bats with nails hammered through them. think broken legs. think knives. think denim jackets with sleeves cut off. think a boss level with a fat black dude wearing a wife beater. think henchmen dieing with four punches. ...but make sure you keep those 16bit cartoon style graphics. but make HEAPS of colours. and shading. so that it still has a hidef modern sheen to it. uniquety in imitiation. that's what the f*ck i want to see in a game. a game that's SO HARD TO PLAY it makes your hair turn grey. yet it's so easy to get so friggin far in it. that it's enough to keep you hanging on and loving it. it needs to be a character that's charming as all hell. someone so quintessential of their own stereotype that you just want to BE him.

25GTT Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 i like games where you buy and sell shit to help you progress, also level ups to get different things also ensure game play is addictive as the user wants to keep playing to level up to unlock items, specialties etc. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/326229-research-what-do-you-like-in-a-game/#findComment-5314290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_1882 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I like all sorts of games, but of late feel like a turn based style game. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/326229-research-what-do-you-like-in-a-game/#findComment-5324898 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 FPS. FPS. FPS. Current day weapons, no WWII crap and no futuristic laser weapons. Multiplayer. Multiplayer. Multiplayer. I prefer to shoot real people that have the potential to rage, as opposed to battling bots. Think COD4+BC2.
