When War Meets Video Games
Journal Entry #3
I think that war related video games are really popular, because it is like "real" time type of game and has lots of action. Many people like to play with it, since these type of games provide a lot of action, and everything seem real. They want to feel like people who are on the battlefield, and have this real time action type of game. People who get addicted to these types of games are mostly because they want to "kill" lots of virtual people. I think that when these people do such things they enjoy being at the top, and think they can do anything while playing games. Some people prefer playing games because of how good the graphics are exceptional.
I agree with the the quote "if it's not realistic, it's not worth playing", because people enjoy playing games because of it's realistic factors. Without the realistic qualities in the game, people do not find it interesting and worth their while. I think people play these types of realistic games for fun. No matter how much people "increase" the graphics of games, it will never be the same as people who actually fought in the war. While playing at home sitting on your couch staring at the television screen doesn't compared to how the people who actually had the scariest feelings that fought in the war. People that fought were really scared and when you're playing the game, you don't feel scared at all or have the exact feeling as they did in the past.
I personally do not like playing war related video games, because I find them really unrealistic and boring. I do not find any enjoyment in just shooting people, because all you do it shoot and run. I prefer playing games that uses more strategical thinking. War games are really repetitive unlike games that uses strategical thinking. Every time it is different because you use different strategies every time. Often War games are really short and end really quick, compared to games that I play that can last for hours. Therefore I prefer playing games that takes longer and that are less repetitive.

I agree on most of what you said. War games are for people that like lots of action and excitement without truly thinking about what they are doing. However, some war games do require strategy like flanking or smoke granading key areas. Remember, games like Warcraft or Command and Conquer in the real time strategy genre of games could be considered as war games too.
