Re: What's the attraction of points etc?

In Response To: Re: What's the attraction of points etc? (Sep7imus [subnova])


: Well, that kind of describes playing video games in general, doesn't it? It's
: all about achieving empty goals.

That's not even restricted to games of the video variety... it's not like Da Bears will be exercising valuable life skills tomorrow to attain direct rewards. (Fish biscuit?)

: I'm assuming that the alternative you have in mind to what your describing is
: playing for "fun" and not worrying about the goals, but if
: people find earning points fun, and some people do, then this is a way to
: add fun for them.

And it doesn't detract from those who obtain their fun from "unpointed" stuff like trixing and machinima. (Who may be getting their own bragging-rights benny in H3 with the addition of filmz.)

-- Steve's happy with any feature so long as more potential for fun is added than lost with its addition.
