Needs Help: Misaimed Realism

Go To

Stemming from this ATT, I propose that Misaimed "Realism" needs to go to the YMMV namespace.

From the first line of description alone, there are three different aspects that are decidedly YMMV: In video games or Tabletop Games, an element of the gameplay that is supposed to make the game more realisticnote , but backfiresnote  by producing laughably unrealisticnote  results instead.

... honestly, most of the page seems to exist to complain about Breakable Weapons. The sole difference between this and an Acceptable Break from Reality is whether or not it's well-received.

I'm happy to do a wick check (there are only 39 wicks) but honestly I don't know if it helps since the issue is the description, which a wick check wouldn't really help with.

I agree that this sounds subjective. Your point about the relation between this and Acceptable Breaks from Reality reminds me of how the player interaction aspect that separates Quicksand Box from Wide-Open Sandbox led to Quicksand Box becoming YMMV.

Bump.

As it stands now, 5 are for making it YMMV. No opposition.

Should there be a crowner for whether to make this YMMV?

Edit: Went ahead and made one due to the clock. I requested a hook.

I agree.

There's a lot of contentious debate about just how much realism is to much realism (especially in the shooter fandom from people that like tough-as-nails and unforgiving realism and tactics like ARMA) so this is definitely YMMV to a degree.

3 weeks and 12-1 in favor of YMMV, with no dissenting posts.

Is that enough to call, or give it another week or so?

[up]I hollered to ask for mod input. Internet Backdraft's crowner was up for less time than that, but then again it got significantly more votes.

Added to the YMMV.Home Page index. Modifications would be appreciated if I screwed something up in the summary I wrote for the index.

Edit: Wick cleanup is complete. I'm going to hold off on asking if this should be locked, in case someone has any further ideas for the YMMV index summary.

I'd like to add something along the lines of explaining why it's YMMV, specifically the fact that both the "realism" and the "gone horribly wrong" aren't objective.

It's been four days with no changes to the YMMV index summary, and since I already finished wick migration, I'm going to holler to ask the mods if we're done with this thread.

The summary looks fine, so calling it done.
