Holistic game design

Components such as art, animations, and sound effects have a huge impact on how a combat system feels (and on any other game mechanics) and your design should always be influenced and informed by the entire vision of the game you are developing. In modern game development, a new concept of game design has emerged, called holistic game Design; this means that the mechanics, aesthetics, and even every technical aspect of a game cannot exist as a separate entity anymore. And this is especially true in modern games where the level of realism is extreme. There is a great YouTube video that shows how awkward Battlefield 4 would be if it was using 8-bit sound effects from the 80's console era: https://youtu.be/7c1PBufdfcE.
