Really?
I remember the first time I went to Japan, they had people playing what are now called rhythm games, the screen showing patters and people pressing the buttons to match. I thought that couldn’t possibly even be called a game.
I pitied the poor players, how empty they must be to try something like that. It had about as much chance of catching on as the crab machine.
It’ll never catch on in the west, I said to myself before putting the whole thing out of my mind.
Imagine my shock when 5-6 years later they started appearing everywhere.
Are you trolling me because rhythm games are very much games
The most fun fucking game i’ve ever played in my fucking life was a Fist of the North Star rhythm game where these pads come out and you punch them in time with the rhythm
But i guess it fucking breaks all the time and the one arcade that had it got rid of it

How is pressing a button when you see a light a “game”? It’s like something NASA would use to test astronaut reaction times.
is soccer a game, you just run around and kick a ball
Is basketball a game, you just throw a ball through a hoop
Is poker a game, you’re just drawing cards
You are technically correct, the best kind of correct. According to ludology it’s a “game” but it’s hardly Myst or Fallout. Or even Pac-Man.
