Hi everyone,

I managed to collect nearly 600 survey entries and I owe it all to you guys. :)

As promised here are the results for the 8 questions [plus one extra ;) ]


(Note: Unfortunately, because of both the poor clarity of my question and my lack of knowledge about SurveyMonkey's survey editor, question #2 was answered incorrectly by more than half of you guys. The stats can still serve a partial purpose, but not for anything too serious)


I'd be grateful if you guys could simply re-answer this single question... for science... you monsters.


(there's only 1 question in it: it'll take you 30 seconds to complete).

No giveaways this time, sorry. I can't afford to make a good one as of yet :(



Example on how to answer the linked question:

  • Multiplayer: 7
  • Storytelling and Narrative: 1
  • Art Style: 3
  • Good/Immersive Graphics: 4
  • Music: 5
  • Good/Immersive Sound: 6
  • Fun/Interesting Gameplay: 2

You can only choose one number per category. It's practically like saying what element in a video game do you love the most (#1 in your list) and what element do you love the least (#7 on your list), which in my example would be:

1) Storytelling and Narrative

2) Fun/Interesting Gameplay

3) Art Style

4) Good/Immersive Graphics

5) Music

6) Good/Immersive Sound Effects

7) Multiplayer

Impressive how most of the questions are sound related. Are you a Sound card manufacturer ?

I wish. No, it's part of my dissertation; which is sound-related :)

I'm pretty sure that I don't mind most games on steam, so any giveaway is nice in itself.

I like it how you made pretty little graphs for the answers.

I was talking to a friend about realism today, and it occurred to me that despite it being nice every now and then, I think I end up preferring the non realistic ones most of the time. They seem to have a special charm and personality that it's hard to achieve with too much realism.

Anyway, retook the question. :)

Thank you Nayelianne :).

For some, games are a way to escape from reality (unplug for few hours and just have fun). By making it too realistic (game mechanics included) the game almost becomes a chore... too similar to real life ;).

Is sport games a game genre.. cause I didn't saw them in your question :P

Comment has been collapsed.

As odd as it might seem, Sport games are a sub-category of simulation (I know I know, I usually think of flight/farming simulator when I think of that category, but apparently it is :P).

edit: actually no, I think I screwed that up >.<

edit2: actually, yes

... I didn't sleep much last night, and it shows. :)

I have answered the question 2 again. :)
However, I don't know if you plan to present your results in the same way in your report, but I would avoid 3D charts if I were you.

Thanks, 999888.

About the 3D charts bit; how come?

This article talks about PowerPoint, but the idea is the same.
However, you have labelled your charts so this isn't really a problem, but 3D charts are still less readable than a simple 2D chart.

Thanks for the link. Good to know :)

I like my graphs to be more appealing to the eye, but readability is essential.
