MULTIPLAYERS Changes Everything!!!

In terms of video games, I have come to realize over the years that its really about the people and the experiences you share when you playing games THAT really create the FUN factor in everything. Playing games as a kid was always fun, challenging people and just really letting all your worries. Then over the years you talk all about those fun memories with those people just really laughing it off from the time you had... When you are hassled pretty much to study and get crazy grades most of your life, you kind of need the escape land. The place where you can just either blow out some steam with some sports games, and fighting games... Or really exercise your mind in games that really get you in sooo deep in the story or the fulfillment factor.

My favorite type of games would be fighting games or games that put you against each other as it was always fun to get that adrenaline and motivation to win the game. Other types of games that I like would be Co-op in which you and other players would have a common goal. When you have less experienced players it would make it more fun in this way, as sore losers can diminish the fun in competitive games. The games that I really dont like too much are the single player time killer games that nobody knows (like some random ipad games)... They are kinda fun at that moment but after playing them alone you have this feeling like you kinda wasted your life... It could be improved by either adding high scores for everybody to share or just get more people playing on it.

In terms of Game Design I believe it is a lot more difficult as a software engineering principle as one success revolves around a huge portion of aesthetics. If your game looks like you tried too hard and weren't that good at design then it would really ruin the game. Games are either decent looking objects that are easily recognized or intense graphics that represent real life. Other aspects of game design that make it difficult is the portion in which a game player will always find a bug everywhere in the game as people usually play game without reading instructions so they dont follow the direct path everybody follows.
