Oil of Paris posted:how do you use it mechanics are player initiated actions that change the gamestate in terms of the variables or dynamics of the game system while something like the perma-death in fire emblem is a "system" or an "element" or a "feature" or "i am incredibly fuckign gay"

You are incredibly dumb, dumber even than the good posters of Games. gently caress yourself.

What you're saying kinda makes sense, but now I'm just wondering who came up with these arbitrary distinctions between mechanic/system/element/whatever.

LaTex Fetish posted:the core mechanic of super mario bros 3 was jumping. Running too. Anyway, permadeath as a mechanic or a "feature," seems like petty semantics to me OP. But if you wanted to be strict, I suppose I could accept permadeath as a feature instead of a core mechanic. however I would still take issue with your claim that it is the most misused word.
