"Better with Imagination" Games

[Jack and Calumon]

To understand what this means, Here's Calumon:

Calumon:
In games, sometimes I see Jack making his own scenes in the game. During SSBB I saw him making what the characters were saying as he made Peach go Boom. It was funny! Also, he would imagine conversations with his companions on Fallout 3. But when his Imagination goes wild is when he Plays Pokémon... He imagines this huge fight scene, where they are bouncing off walls, performing their attacks, and all kinds of stuff.

Thank you Calumon.

Now do you know any games that are better if you use your Imagination?

All games for me are better if I use my imagination. Even games that have quite a bit of story and dialog I use my imagination to fill in all the plot holes.

Any game where you get to create your own character I put a bit more imagination into. In Fallout, Dragon Age and Oblivion I put a lot of story into my character. I probably spend more time imagining what my character is thinking and doing in those games more than any other.

If you open an encyclopedia and look up "video games that require imagination", you will see a picture of Sleep Is Death. [http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2010/04/07/bad-cop-hands-on-with-sleep-is-death/]

One of the reasons I like Earthbound more than other JRPGs is that it DOESN'T show what happens in the battle (ie. you press A on a flashing picture).

It means that you have to imagine the battle actions rather than watching the generic

man walks forward > one stab > man inexplicably walks back.

With imagination, you can fill in the blanks of Earthbound's battle system, and make it more convincing than the battle system of other JRPGs.

Who the hell is this "Calumon" you always talk to?

.....And I admit, I make scenes in video games too.

........Especially Dawn of War.

Imagination makes playing karaoke games fun. Especially if you play them alone, like me.

In Oblivion my characters have epic back stories that go right up to the point of imprisonment and I often use imagination with movement and stuff (e.g. jumping into water=diving) and Smash bros often results in mini stories created as a spur of the moment thing.

My Fallout 3 characters. I knock all that Lone Wanderer crap on the head and create my own backstory and dialog based off the in-game dialog choices.

Sometimes I do. Not often though. I do imagine what would happen if something happened differently in the plot.
