What Makes A Game Fun

What keeps you coming back for more?

from JoeUser Forums

There are a lot of games out there, and lets be honest, most of them really suck. So what exactly is it, to you, that makes a game a great experience?

 

To me, teamwork makes a game fun. I love the feeling afterwards that I shared the experience with other people successfully.

Game mechanics.  Fast, fun, exciting, and the urge to keep playing.  Randomization is also a HUGE key in any game to make a game fun.  I do not want to play the same exact game every single time.

 

Games that did this for me

Diablo 2

Civ 4

Gal Civ 2

Replayability features such as customization, regular upgrades (low cost or free), moddable assets.

And... lemme WIN it at least once but not before having held a wild smily_toughy_tricky ride against near impossible odds.
