Can video games be type 2 fun?

Yeah, what do you think the hype around World of Warcraft Classic was all about?

Doubtful. Oftentimes video games are the exact opposite of type 2. They're a fun distraction, but they offer practically nothing outside of momentary pleasure.

Only in rare cases. Like winning a world championship tournament might qualify as type 2 fun.

This is missing "Fun to do, not fun to remember" aka getting extremely drunk

By that I mean it's turbojank with mechanics that go from bad to worse, poorly mashed together, I only had fun with it at rare points. Final verdict: 8/10.

I think type 3 is rarely brought up. There are some games people think are good because the end/postgame is pretty decent and that somehow makes you forget how much of a slog most of the game was Xenoblade, MH Iceborne, most MMO

Speedrunning is type 3 but doesn't make a good story

Type 2 describes "lose all your shit" multiplayer games like DayZ and Tarkov.

Vintage Story. I spent this day mining hematite and smithing iron chain armor. It also became Type 3 for a bit when my last pickaxe broke after the entrance to the mine collapsed, so I had to do this.
