Recently an acquaintance and myself had a debate. We were playing Destiny, and I explained that even though it's a pretty bad game (lack of content, no story, really repetitive), I found it fun with friends. He thinks that if you're having fun, the game must be good. This post is not about #Destiny. It is a question if you can have fun in a game and think it's not a good game. Your opinions?

    "Fun" and "good" are subjective when describing something, however they are also synonymous when speaking about gaming. The game does not overall have to be "good", but must exhibit some form of a "good" aspect which keeps you entertained and wanting to continue playing. Slot machines, while they are probably the most boring of games on the planet, offer a chance at a reward ("good" aspect) and that is enough to keep people playing. So if I had to answer, I'd say yes and no, it's complicated sometimes. [spoiler]if you say slot machines provide monetary rewards, you would be correct, however the same concept applies to penny slots[/spoiler]
