[QUOTE="Layander, post: 5104398, member: 69155"] This topic has somehow turned into a anti people who use the term video gamey thread. I have used the term videogamey to describe a certain roleplaying game, and yes I understand that game quite well considering I still have groups in it, ran through the entire epic quest that came out with the game, a house game of my own that lasted until level 15, and have played D&D for decades. I understand the game and why it was made the way it was completely. That said videogamy under my definition would be where a game tried to dumb its self down to the choices you would get to make in a video game. For example, in world of warcraft my paladin gets these spells on these levels, I move them to a hot bar and I can use them every so often. In other games I get these powers to pick from (talent trees?) each level every things is generic to balance, and they recharge at specific times. How about the fact that certain people who make certain games, admit they tried to make it more like popular video games because its more what people are used to. Please read the directers cut books that came out before the edition. I can call an edition videogamy while still understanding the system, playing the system and liking it for what it is. To many single minded people have to go militant against the other party and think they are they only people who are not bashing the others. The OP wanted to know what video gamy means not to hear you bash people who use the term. [/QUOTE]
