    But it is a game game. Garry's mod is a sandbox game, and people still call it a game game. Because you play it. For fun.

    That's because Garry's mod has game modes in which you can play a game game. Like hide n' go seek, ttt, Prop Hunt, etc. Those are the classic definitions of games that you could play in real life as well.

    All you've given me for minecraft is building imaginatively. Without mods the game doesn't hold up as a game.

    Actually all the game modes for gmod are also mods. :3

    Well, I suppose in that case neither would hold up as legitimate games without the input of a community.

    While i can understand the argument as to weather or not Minecraft is a game it's all really a matter of opinion, Personally i think it's a game with a tremendous amount of freedom in what happens in the game in others meaning that you not only have to survive in a harsh world full of creepers and ensure you have food and all that but you must also write the script on what your character says and does.


    However another aspect of it is the fact that Minecraft is much more popular as a multiplayer game for friends to get together and do stuff together rather than just a sandbox game and while not initially intended for it to be modified it has turned out to be quite easy to do so, the plethora of modifications allow for much more content thanks to it's very open Game world so all in all what makes a game is not just whats in it but what people can do with it as a whole.

    Like Terraria, Starbound will likely work best with a mouse. So unless ps4 natively supports mouse and keyboard input, I'd say no. I also don't imagine the game will translate well to the Vita... but that's a different matter.

    Ps3 supports USB mouses and keyboards so i don't see why the ps4 would not however it depends if the port will still depend on the mouse as an input. ^.-.^

    I don't think it need "depend" on mouse and keyboard, but it should definitely be an option. I wish more ps3 games supported m&k input

    At that point, you may as well just be playing on a computer. Using a mouse and keyboard on the couch isn't exactly the most comfortable thing.

    Maybe, but some people still prefer it. I bought Unreal Tournament 3 for PS3 before I built my computer, so I got out a folding table (like a frozen dinner table), put my keyboard on my lap and used the mouse on the table. Wasn't too bad

    Also, White Knight Chronicles was a lot easier to play with a keyboard sitting nearby for strategizing with other players over chat.

    So, the difference between a player and press release is the existence of game-breaking bugs?

    How does the press review a game when it's broken?
