We measure game worth in terms of total complexity now? (Destiny)

What happened to Fun per Second??


That's the ultimate metric, yes.

But people have more fun with more detailed levels, better AI, better music, smoother and more animations, etc. Fun and complexity are related.

But I had a lot more fun playing Halo: Combat Evolved than I did playing Crysis 3, even though the latter had more detailed levels, better AI, smoother and more animations, etc. Clearly, Fun and Complexity are not equal, and I'm not even half sure you're correct when you claim they are related.

Maybe you'd like to rethink your stance?
