Five key question for my final idea

What makes a game 'appealing'?

1) Does good controls make games more fun and better than others?

Having a game that has horrible controls makes a game less fun to play as the play can not get the best precise controls having a game with bad controls doesn't allow the player to enter the game's world, without being able to freely move and be able to stop at any point needed or they wanted to. Looking at the link before the Sony PlayStation 4's version of destiny the controls for PlayStation Play was bad because of the way the Sony vita had been made missing 4 buttons the Playstation 4 has. Not having these controls meant that the game had to remap out the controls for the Vita and most of the time it didn't work until destiny came out and helped to show the games the right path by mapping the controls out right.

2) Which of the top selling games are fun?
Best selling games

Simply all of the top selling games are fun, they all most of the time are fun and if they were not they wouldn't be on the top ten list of games and despite most of the games on the list coming out before 2010 the games are the biggest brought game of their time the top selling game selling well over 140 million copies.

3) Do graphics matter to make a game more enjoyable?
(Most lists of top ten games are not from the 2005+ er)

Graphics are a part of gaming but are not really that important when it comes to making a game more enjoyable, in fact on most of the top games of all time most of them again came out before around 2008 as most people enjoy games from the past more than the games of today.

4) Does the enjoyment of games depend of player?
http://uk.askmen.com/top_10/videogame/top-10-video-game-remakes_1.htmlThe enjoyment of games depends of the player for example if someone plays call of duty and loses all the time they are not going to enjoy it or like it as they can't seem to win but if they play a game they can play like forza or mario kart or most other racing games they will feel more accomplished and that will allow them to get more enjoyment out of the game. Also the enjoyment of some games that are older may depend of the age of the player as if I was to play a game that came out in 1998 and then play the remake of that game in 2014 i would most likely want to keep playing the remake of the game. Using the link as an example punch out (Wii) was on this person's favorite's list because it was enjoyable for him and most likely reminded them of the arcade machine of the same name.



5) Why are games played?

Games are being play because its an enjoyable experience for any users it leads to people who are more relaxed than others. sometimes its to take out the rage that one might have, other times its just there to be there and it might just be the reason one can be still for more than half an hour.
