The Daily Grind: How realistic do you like your games? (Massively)
Generally speaking, I tend to like more realism than less. I like realistic-looking models (I really dislike 10-foot-long extremely wide swords and other weapons) and I tend to like mechanics such as foraging and eating. This can be carried too far of course, but overall I like my games on the realistic side.
We accept that there's going to be some degree of unreal mechanics in a video game, of course, but that doesn't mean that some of us don't want the game to stick fairly close to the real world. By the same token, though, some of us take the Mystery Science Theater 3000 mantra to heart -- it's just a game, and it's not all that important if it makes real-world sense in sticky parts. Where do you fall on the scale? Do you like your games fairly realistic, fairly unrealistic, or do you not care so long as the game itself is still fun?
