Poll: realistic vs unrealistic in video games

[stompy]

Reality (and unreality) is only nice when it makes the game more fun.

I'd normally agree with that, but I think that sometimes, the whole draw of the game is the realism it portrays... like Brothers in Arms.

I don't care whether it's in an unrealistic or realistic setting, but I do like some realistic gameplay mechanics. For example, I like body part-specific damage, like in GTA 4, because it actually makes me feel like my gun is powerful and that I'm actually doing damage and makes the shooting much more entertaining, which is partly why Killzone 2 looks really interesting to me.

I mean would you really want a game where you can die only once and when that happends the game ends and you have to start a new game?

Obviously somebody did, because otherwise, nobody would have ever bought Steel Battalion.

somebody did?
