  I'm back + What makes a good game?

  As Arnie would say, Im back as level 25, Defias Brotherhood. It's been a while since I last posted So I'm going to start a series of discussions with the first being ''What makes a good game?''

  I,ve noticed that many games simply aren't reaching there full potential.Games like Eat Lead, Damnation, Bionic Commando, and Haze have all disappointed in some way and I have made some suggestions for making a game great.

  Story

  • Make it involving and immersive
  • Makes you care about the game's world and it's characters
  • Give the player opportunities to shape it depending on their decisions
  • If the game is based on a saga or franchise then make sure the story fits in with that too

  Design

  • Make sure the single player is long enough (At least 15 hours)
  • Give the player a variety of gameplay types and things to do
  • Give the game multiplayer with enough player support, XP, and some DLC
  • Put both online and offline coop in a separate campaign or through the main story
  • If the game has a huge wide environment then make it open world with freedom to explore
  • Add solid extras and hidden goodies to find

  Gameplay

  • Make sure the controls are fluid and easy to use
  • Make sure the enemy AI is intelligent and adaptive
  • Put in enough checkpoints and save points to avoid frustration
  • Offer more difficulty settings for replayability
  • Make sure every aspect of the game is tight and doesn't feel sloppy or repetitive
  • Put in enough set piece moments to boggle the mind or thrill the player

  Presentation

  • Make the graphics push the hardware
  • Use powerful game engines like unreal or frostbite
  • Tell cut scenes in real time if possible
  • Check the game for glitches and other issues
  • Use a wide range of colors
  • Make the game look realistic
  • Make sure that the game doesn't have too many load screens to interupt the experience

  That's all for now, Write some comments and leave your own suggestions, Next week I'll be discussing the console war and which one your money is on Thanks!
