>"gameplay loop"It's just "gameplay"!Running and jumping in Mario is not the "gameplay loop" because levels stop you from running and jumping when you die or finish the level.
gay loop

>enter dungeon>kill monsters>return to town to heal and buy new gear>repeatthat's a gameplay loop. not all games have them
>>729100263I do hate the term gameplay loop and immediately look down on anyone who uses it as a soulless insect who instinctively tries to reduce everything into mechanical parts. I never heard a good game developer use that term, just limp-dicked millennials tried to get in on the youtube video essay mill.
you'll understand when you're older little nigga
>the cycle has turned>your gears still stuck on the previous iterationnow we are playing

>>729100263>>729109209to me, "gameplay loop" falls under the same category of faggotry as calling levels/areas "content"just reduces everything to "we're just heckin monkeys on a rock in space!!! I LOVE SCIENCE!!!!!"
If you have fun doing something it’s not a loopIt’s just you having fun.Why would I say that I’m in a loop that implies that what I’m doing is a bad thing?
>>729113583Why would a loop a bad thing?If it's a fun loop, who cares that it's a loop?>that impliesThat's just you imagining shit
>>729106514This
I call it a "gameplay format"
>>729114729
wrong its a real thing but almost everyone abuses it and uses it to replace just gameplay
>>729100263Nah it works for certain games. Monster Hunter for example has you follow a series of common actions that loop into each other.>hunt/do quests>upgrade gear>manage the hub>stock up for bigger hunts>bigger hunts grant access to more gear and quests and upgradesIt works for a specific type of gameplay style.
>>729100263No, they mean different things. The gameplay loop is more zoomed out than the gameplay
Gameplay loops are real, and they became far more noticeable when crafting became a big thing in games. You go out, collect resources, craft them to make better tools, then go out to collect better resources, then craft those to make even better tools....Crafting mechanics tend to result in very obvious loops. You can't blame people for noticing this.
>>729100263>low iq retards are STILL getting upset by perfectly sound descriptive termsnever change /v/
>>729115803>>729115902the problem is that not every game has a gameplay loop but retards insist everything containing gameplay is a loop (mario going through the level to reach the flagpolel?? GAMEPLAY LOOP!!!!1)
>>729100263gameplay doesn't mean anythingit's like bookread or moviewatch
>>729116071gameplay loop describes how to design more content for a given gameif your gameplay loop is to go out and get materials to craft shit with you get more gameplay by adding more materials or more recipesmario's gameplay loop is to go through levels so you get more gameplay by making more levelsit's a game design term because it tells you how to design your game
