What makes a successful game?
General chit chat
What do you think are the reasons behind a successful game?
The graphics, 3D audio, game design?
I think that it is "The ability to make everyone feel important" - a play level balance.
Taking Starcraft for example, the starters are able to rush with zerglings, or to defend with a bunker. They stand some chance to win. In World of Warcraft, no matter what level you are, you'll be working to get an item upgrade, and you'll feel happy once you got them. Everyone is feeling important, no matter which level they are.
In Counter strike, you can rush with mp5 like a pro, you can also camp with an awp as a starter.
Other games like Command and Conquer ? You'll be pwned easily without skill or knowledge of the map. As a result, it's not as popular. The graphics could be a lot nicer, the storyline could be more solid, but the game is not as successful.
