Only if you ignore playability. The problem is, usually it's the LESS realistic features that also make the game less playable and less fun. Take the hull integrity feature or the instant notification of sinking - both 'middle of the road' features meant as a concession to an arcade playstyle, and both features that actually remove fun from the game. Sometimes even the middle road is fraught with pitfalls.
Anyway obsession with realism is where modders come in. |
Wow. I (and some others) in fact DO like hull integrity notification, and the assertion that it means we have an "arcade play style", and that it actually "removes fun from the game" - is blindness to other perspectives at best and arrogant dismissiveness at worst.
I encourage everyone to play and mod as they like, but I insist on having my own opinions, and would prefer to not be insulted about them when they are different from someone elses.
Playability is -subjective-.
