somebody needs to pay attention in class more often mr.koopaul, if you keep this up you're going to get an F...
every single complaint about the opening of MP3 was a complaint about gameplay and how it was handled. everything I discussed was a reaction to your action, and it was handled horrendously. when you shot the guards, they twitched. that's it. the doors had to opened by your gun - that is illogical, being on a "friendly" base. the engineers did nothing when you shot them, but inexplicably turrets would come out and try and kill you - and yet, they would not react any differently. they still behaved the same, continuously uttering the "samus! what an honor to meet you" praise.
while being shot at, by turrets, because you shot an invincible engineer inside of a friendly base that let you keep your gun because "you needed it to open doors". the doors of which, are discovered by scanning, are opened because shooting them with weapons fire disrupts the energy field.
why would a door have an energy field, and why would they specifically design it to be opened with weapon fire - wouldn't that just make it more accessible to enemy soldiers and put everyone at risk?
every single one of these things are experienced directly - as I stated before, gameplay is more than just "things you do", they are the things that you do in relation to the world that you exist within - and simultaneously, how that world reacts. "gameplay" is the subjective experience of playing a game. it is a scale consistently balancing itself between two weights, a perpetual chain of action and reaction.
furthermore, "stupidity" - that is, stupid choices, stupid design, or stupid events/scenarios, will inherently inhibit ones ability to be immersed in the game and as such will have an effect on the subjective experience of playing the game - gameplay
