Videogames you love, videogames you hate thread

[Kriven]

When you base the quality of the game on specs alone, you're just as inaccurate as a person who bases their opinion solely on their enjoyment. A game could run a perfect physics engine and still not be fun. Does that make it a good game, because its programming has no flaws?

You need the combined, yes, opinions, of people with a developmental knowledge and people with an entertainment perspective, and just a touch of history, to determine if a game is good or not.

In direct response to Sol: Knowledge of development does not make any individual's stance on the quality of a game any more viable. It only makes their opinions on the quality of the techniques utilized more viable. These are different things.
