[General Discussion] Question: What makes a game fun for you?

MOTHERFUCKING CHALLENGE.

If a game isn't challenging in any way (like Final Fantasy XII, for example) it just isn't fun. There has to be a significant difficulty there, otherwise I'm just not interested in the game at all.

A lot of shooters, fighters, beat 'em ups, hell even some RPGs are challenging, even if they're few and far between.

Too bad a lot of games these days are piss useless unless you're playing on their hard difficulty, and often times "hard difficulty" means there's the same enemies with more health or lower health for yourself which isn't a true difficulty change.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
