If one thinks that there are very many aspects of 4E that fit better in a video game, then I think "works better as a video game" is better phrasing. I don't think many think it should be directly ported in its entirety into a video game (at least, the 'y' in 'videogamey' strikes me as meaning 'a little bit like a video game' rather than 'it is a video game on my table' in which case one would say '4E is a video game').Words derived from 'gamey' are better? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I think, at the very least, that for some people, unrealistic is a good term to use, especially when talking about specific aspects of the game (say, if one dislikes healing surges because they're unrealistic in a video game sort of way) rather than talking about 4E as a whole.Which leads to Umbran's option being a good one as well, I think. You're not a fan of the other two options I mentioned, what's wrong with his?<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> I hope I didn't imply that it was, but one rarely uses the full extent of his vocabulary. Usually, people use what come to mind easiest, or at least they don't usually consider every option to think of better ones.I think you're missing an n't ? Anyways, I don't know how to convince you otherwise. I sincerely think that videogamey is not a great term to use, and that there are better terms/phrasings to use, and that better terms/phrasings have been suggested.</blockquote>
