games

Games, what makes a game? How do we define that something is a game? Well as
far as we know, a game is something in which we play and get entertainment out
of the games in which we play today, such as halo, or destiny, but that is not necessarily
correct, a game is something in which has both a winning and losing factor, if
you cannot win or lose, it isn’t exactly classed as a game. An example of a
game could be “one chance” it may not seem to have both a win or loss factor,
but it does, the winning/good ending is just quite depressing, the aim of
the game is to save the world and you have
only one chance, the losing factor is when you end up dying and not saving the
world, the winning factor is when you’re able to make a cure (for an gas
induced “so called cancer cure” which is killing everyone) but are only able to
cure either yourself, or yourself and your daughter, an example of something
which people would probably class a game but isn’t could be halo, there is no
win or lose factor for this game, if you die, you re-spawn, and I doubt
completing the game could be classed as winning, the only way this could be
classed as a proper game in any way is if when the player died, they stopped
playing all together or they deleted the character, same with winning, to win
you’d have to never die and when the credits roll, you never play again, but no one would really do that...

another example could be minecraft, this is a sandbox "
game" it's called a game but not actually a game as there is no win or lose factor, just.. building of blocks.
