Yes yes. And was Crysis 3 a better game than 1. Its better technically, but was it a better game? Better assets, physics, sound etc might make a game more immersive (maybe even better) but if all that fluff gets in the way of making a game decent then whats the point. |
I didn't like 2 so haven't bothered with 3. As much as you aparently don't like Crysis 3 imagine the same game without the graphics, sound, physics etc. Those aspects are esential to making a good game great. Even if you think that the so called "fluff" is getting in the way of making a game good to you that doesn't really disproove the general point, if those aspects weren't important it would be impossible to get in the way. Of course just those aspects alone won't make it a great game, but they are all very important aspects of games. Imagine if tetris instead of showing the shape of the blocks on screen just showed a single symbol and you had to memorise what shape all the blocks were and how you rotated them, the game would be basically impossible to play wouldn't it. Imagine if fighting games had no animation and no sound would it be playable?
Which is not to say a game with smplae graphics that serve it's gameplay or even text bassed games can't be great. And also that doesn't mean that a game with just great art and sound design will automatically be great ether.
