This record has good recordlisten. This movie has good moviewatch. So yeah, I've just made up three new words: bookread, recordlisten and moviewatch. Now these words may sound stupid to you, but that's not all there is to it. These words are also useless. To demonstrate this I'll rewrite the above sentences without using them: This is a good book. This is a good record. This is a good movie. See where I am going with this? >> Anonymous 01/24/11(Mon)00:51 No.84772246 this ps3 has games >> Anonymous 01/24/11(Mon)00:52 No.84772296 >>84772173 Uh no? >> Anonymous 01/24/11(Mon)00:52 No.84772327 Man, this game has great gameplay, I don't know whay you're talking about >> Anonymous 01/24/11(Mon)00:53 No.84772353 >>84772246 >>84772246 >>84772246 >>84772246 >>84772246 >>84772246 >>84772246 >>84772246 >>84772246 >>84772246 >> JustAnotherRandom !!HH5K8Ckmi6v 01/24/11(Mon)00:53 No.84772364 the english language doesn't work like that >> Anonymous 01/24/11(Mon)00:53 No.84772397 The most important part of a soup is the spork? >> Anonymous 01/24/11(Mon)00:53 No.84772415 Uh, just because you made up the words doesnt mean there isnt an equivalent to it: This book has a good story. This record has good lyrics. This movie has a good plot. As well as many synonyms to these. As for games, gameplay is just a word to caracterize an aspect of the game. You could it call it titplay, it wouldnt matter. >> Anonymous 01/24/11(Mon)00:54 No.84772468 This book has a good story This record has good songs This movie has a good plot >> Anonymous 01/24/11(Mon)00:54 No.84772473 Except that games are a relatively new art form and thus new words must be created to describe them. >> Anonymous 01/24/11(Mon)00:54 No.84772486 >implying use of the word gameplay is redundant Gameplay is the experience a game gives the player. It is something more complex than the experience of simply watching a movie, or reading a book. That's why it's used. >> Anonymous 01/24/11(Mon)00:54 No.84772491 Video games are a unique medium and therefore we use unique words to describe our experiences with them.

Proper use is coupled with reference to 'what the player does'. ..." Games are an interactive form of media. Books, movies, and records are not. Kindly fuck off. >> Anonymous 01/24/11(Mon)00:56 No.84772648 This book has good structure. This record has good musicianship/mastering This movie has good direction/production This game has good gameplay If you don't appreciate that the gaming equivalent of these things consists of a portmanteau of game and play then write to Websters or something and suggest an alternative. >> Anonymous 01/24/11(Mon)00:57 No.84772675 It's like I'm really in 1984. >> Anonymous 01/24/11(Mon)00:58 No.84772750 >>84772173 Nope, your a faggot. Gameplay refers to the pleasure experienced by the manipulation of game characters themselves- how does the "meat" of the game appeal to you. This book reads well, but the story itself may be shit. This record has good sound quality but the music could suck. The movie was well produced but it might have been shitty overall. Games can have good gameplay but have shitty aspects in other domains. And so what if gameplay is a "new" word. It's a portmanteau with a universally understood meaning among gamers. Deal with it. >> Anonymous 01/24/11(Mon)00:58 No.84772787 >>84772675 This was my first reaction to OP >> Anonymous 01/24/11(Mon)00:58 No.84772796 >>84772173 This game has good gameplay. >> Anonymous 01/24/11(Mon)00:58 No.84772810 >This book has good bookread. This book has good prose >This record has good recordlisten. This record has good audio >This movie has good moviewatch. This movie has good... plot? Explosions? Whatever floats your boat with movies All you've done is take the existing descriptors and replace them with an overarching retarded-sounding descriptor that loses the intricacies of teh words it replaces; it's still an important part of speech. Gameplay itself refers specifically to a combination of control and response to create the desired effect onscreen. It is the part of a game that makes it a game. What would you call it? >> psn/steam: ozkar99 !Tb.eofaH.s 01/24/11(Mon)00:58 No.84772814 >>84772415 this book is written good. this record has a good melody. this movie has good photography. fuck story. >> Anonymous 01/24/11(Mon)01:00 No.84772920 Gameplay describes the facility of interaction and play, it doesn't describe the whole experience of playing. Something like "good bookread" would mean that the book has nice-feeling paper and large and friendly print.
