    "Polish" is a useless concept in game commentary. You put polish on shoes and nails. Can you explain what makes a game impressive?

        No it's not. It's refining what is already there to be smoother, more stable, more concrete, less buggy, etc.

        Still unspecific. "Smoother," for example, can refer to myriad aspects of a game.

        Adding character portraits to textboxes so you can see who is speaking; adding variety of images to show emotions.

        This is making my point. It can mean a lot of things. Talk about those things. Explain why they're good.

        .@_Wrds_ @KainYusanagi Which is subjective. But that's not the point. I'm arguing for more specificity and less lazy usage of boring words.

        But even there, the equation is weird due to the language choice. Editing is a gerund. Polish is not.

        Because it's usually referred to as "adding polish", rather than the act of polishing.
