Entertainment doesn't mean having fun anymore?
IkeTheGeneric:
I've played dozens of online game, and so far most of them aren't fun. It's just repetitively tapping the same key over and over to get money and levels to tap the same key again.
It's not entertainment, it's mindless and useless work. Blockland is fun because it's not just the same thing over and over again. When I play a game I want to play the game instead of repeated gameplay. Real games aren't boring. Real games aren't repetitive.
And first-person shooters, they're still the same. All of them are "Shoot the enemy until you win". That was fun in 2003. That's it.
The real games are what keeps the gaming industry fun. Games such as Super mario galaxy, little big planet and dozens of other games that don't keep the same constant gameplay.
My brother is a pure example of one of the people who don't play games to have fun. He is always yelling and screaming at his game because he lost a level, didn't get online currency or was killed ingame. Why would you play a game just to be frustrated and stressed?
How would that be considered fun?

Because you can build AND survive.
And besides, do you scream at your game if you fall into lava? I just laugh hysterically.

Call of Duty isn't every FPS ever.
IkeTheGeneric:
I've never played Call of Duty. Although I've played Unreal Tournament, Quake III team arena and tons of other classic shooters.
