Firecycle:
Port, would you agree that a quality item is one that does what it is made to do well?

Don't know about port's opinion, but I agree on that, AND it must be well made. Compare a reloading, fully animated, with ammo system, weapon, to a "weapon" made of a cube that flings spheres with no sound or animations whatsoever. What's more qualitative? And then again, what's more fun? The answer is the quality gun.

Quality is objective, fun is subjective
I find guns and deathmatches boring as hell but certainly I could see that the build is quality or an item is well-coded, these things simply hold no appeal to me because we already have well in excess of enough of both.

Your second mention can be fun in specific circumstances.

A cube that shoots spheres sounds like a bundle of fun to me because it doesn't try to evoke any feelings of LOOK A WEAPON it just shoots spheres and is a cube. Make the spheres bounce, give them a big, unrealistic explosion with lots of knockback and very little damage for maximum chaos and build an arena based around gaining extra points for knocking players through hoops/into specific targets. Sounds like a bunch of fun and doesn't even sound like a deathmatch.
Things that do not presume upon serious themes are more likely to be fun than things that do not; I believe this to be a fact.
