Is it true that all game ideas suck?
I recently read this: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issu...
I have no experience in game development, and I'm wondering if an idea thought of by someone who has no experience in game development would actually work. I've been writing an idea for a game on notepad for about 2 weeks. I'm trying to think of about every detail, such as the story, the controls, the level design, what NPCS say, etc. I'm even trying to write songs on the piano for the game for fun. I don't ever expect my game idea to be made, I'm kind of just doing this whole thing for fun. I believe it's original, and I don't see any flaws with it.
Do all games ideas suck? Every single one? I find this hard to believe. I've played lots of video games, so I feel like writing an idea with no flaws shouldn't be that hard. Sure, there are flaws like a key conflicting with another one, or maybe no possible way to get to the next level or anything, but there are also flaws like something in the game not even being possible, or the game being too laggy.
Even though I don't know anything about game development, I disagree with the person who wrote that. I could be entirely wrong.
So, like I asked before, do all game ideas actually suck?

Of course not. If ALL game ideas sucked then they'd be no games, ever made. Sounds like that magazine is just written by morons, like the majority of these magazines. Wouldn't take much notice of most of the things they write, alot of these use the "nerd baiting" technique. This is basically writing something so outrageous that it spreads like wild fire. Guess what? Everyone wanting to see the article and hate on it = more ad revenue and more views for the web site.
Don't spread the word and help them in there mission.
