Gaming lacks any genuine appeal. It wouldn’t be fun if it were that way. Ignoring all the completely broken mechanics, it still feels a bit engaging.
Saving Private Ryan came really close to being real, it was a movie in the entertaining genre and won many awards. I often play flight simulators that feel almost like real life. Recently, I’ve noticed games seeming a bit too simplistic, especially since developers seem focused on teens. My wife advises me to stop gaming because companies aren’t really targeting older audiences anymore.
Some gamers seek a realistic experience to feel more connected to the game. They prefer not to be constantly reminded they're playing a simulation rather than a real aircraft or shooter. As long as players understand it's just a game, higher realism adds more enjoyment and immersion. I tend to get excited when I want to be hit right away. Probably because joining the military isn't really my thing 😄
Would you enjoy a simulation where you take a hit in the back, boarded up on a med flight and sent back? There are more authentic war games available, but many focus on realism for a reason—making them both engaging and straightforward. Have you seen how reloadable ammo keeps extra shots intact, or noticed your health pick up when you hide behind a wall? And that sudden red blur in your vision after being shot? That’s the vibe of a realistic battlefield, designed to feel lifelike yet still fun to play.
I just find the damage-to-kill ratio annoying. How can a sniper rifle like the R700 (7.62) hit a target in one shot while I struggle to do it? Suggest games that completely level the playing field for everyone's preferences. For example, unlimited sprinting with a speed boost of 240 unless you're exceptionally skilled. Or aim for any automatic gun consistently.
