What is "best" anyway?

This page goes over the conduct, philosophy, and is the guideline for editing of this wiki.

first of all- definitions.

"Best Way To Play is a wiki designed to give information on the best setup to play video games."

The term "best" in the context of this wiki is to be interpreted as "producing the greatest utility and satisfaction" and the term "setup" refers to "the hardware and software used to get a video game running".

Words, I know.

Second first. 'Setup' includes but is not limited to

• The version and platform a game is best experienced on
• Quality of Life patches (translations, resolution/aspect ratio)
• The best controller for gameplay (if particularly relevant or non-standard)

and First second; It's cute to have a Websters citing, but what do we really mean here?

"greatest utility and satisfaction" is subjective, it's a "I know it when I see it" sort of thing really.

Now it is ultimately subjective (as art is) as to what the best way to play some games are. Some games have mutually exclusive platform dependent content while others have different controller based play experiences. In these cases when games diverge, both are to be listed.
