Game Survey

Can you help me with this survey?

Some features of a perfect game:
(e.g. NPCs/mobs, different modes, multiplayer, freeness, constantly updated, stays to one side, does not change often (like having some television items, and then having katana items), etc.)
Features of bad games:
(e.g. Hard controls, levels that make you ragequit (angry birds), lack of variation/playable characters, no replayability, obstructing ads)
Some good themes:
(e.g. Medieval, Futuristic, no theme)
Your gaming level:
(basic, moderate, hardcore)

There's no time limit for me (or at least it's in several years) so don't rush through it. I think Scratch has a lot of gamers, so please help! ^ ^

You'll find out what this is for soon(er or later)!

Re: Game Survey

Some features of a perfect game:

Good graphics, more than one mode, difficulty (but not too much difficulty), uniqueness, a small amount of glitches or no glitches, and a good amount of levels.

Features of bad games:

Bad graphics, extremely easy, no originality, a small amount of levels, a huge amount of glitches, glitches that happen frequently, and having to pay for most features.

Some good themes:

Superhero, alien, medieval, comedy, and adventure.

Your gaming level:

Half moderate, half hardcore.

I hope that that helped.  big_smile

Re: Game Survey

Thank you ^ ^

For difficulty, would it be better to have different difficulties?

Like maybe you have 5 health in hard, 7 health in medium, and 10 in easy or something?

Re: Game Survey

For a perfect game:

Good music, easy to learn (though not necessarily hard to master), lots of replay value, a good story (this one matters a TON for me), well written characters that you grow to love, a mix between puzzles and action, long enough to provide lots and lots of hours of fun, and not too long that you either despair of finding the end or lose interest.

For a bad game:

Hard to pick up, written badly, little to no story, extremely long with the same idea recycled over and over, lack of replay value.

Personally I like medieval/fantasy themes most because of the magical atmosphere :3

And um I'd consider myself a moderate gamer  tongue

Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

Replay value is waaaaay important. You can't let your gamers play it once then move on. The need to get addicted, so they can play it all day, every day (exaggerating). They will move on to another game if you don't have variety. That's like replay value, since you can customize or make different combinations and battle or adventure many times.
