As for your fist summary, I have actually experience a few games where though the gameplay was bad I still had fun. The Rayman Raving Rabbids games on the wii had bad gameplay, but since it's a party game of mini games my family still had a blast playing them. Could I play those games for long periods of time? If I had to the wii mote would go through the TV, but on those occasions with family they were great. Would I play them on my own? No but there are even many games with great gameplay that I can't play on my own because they are better in groups. Also as I mentioned before, the gameplay of some games looking back is terrible now but at the time with no better options so while they could be enjoyed in the ignorace of better gameplay are now unplayable. |
Freaking Golden Eye on the 64! I remember firing it up one night a few years ago with some friends and was like "Oh man, this is gonna be like the old days!" and I see how unplayable and godawful the game is now. STILL though, slapper only and sliding down for the entire death match is enjoyable all by itself! So just reinforcing your point on a game having bad gameplay (controls/movement, etc.) but still being fun on different merits.
