Why We Play Games - Part 3

In part 2 of this series, we recorded expression one fell swoop eyes and escape, two motivating factors important to the common gamer. The week before that we have covered challenge and competition. This week, we have a look at the socialization and try, all link together.

Social interaction is a topic where we only a little take players through our non-gaming peers static. Sometimes it is because they are confusing different priorities for introversion. Hand would like to talk about the benefits of the Western Plaguelands allΘ when really all want a place of grinding post 55 on the strength of the secondary of the account who only speak one of them is relevant to a more narrow audience (what this time) is different. Sometimes the criticism is deserved but. We tend to somewhat socially awkward partly because hobby invest a significant amount of our time we where rigid rules for the most interactions have folk, so she bad training for reality 3.3.2 free of human language. For some players social interaction is a key factor in the gaming experience motivating.

Social activities at multiple levels. At a very low level, the game can be a Consolidator of the existing social groups. Think you are interested in a group of friends come together to a game or some half play life. Much can be in the field of social activity in the modern online games more wide. MMORPG, which seems always to turn debate on the current state of the game, are essentially groups of people who already share some common primary connection. Friendships can form through online collaboration and friendly competition out of the largest such play. Who never later that remained should they, because their need for them, or because someone asked Guild this experienced. These relationships online are no less real, not less important than their analogues in the offline mode. However they differ.

The interaction that takes place in a game structured is and often online players see only part of one of the other. It is difficult for a group paste formed to a specific activity as deep as a group of friends, which exists solely for the purpose of assisting another. To prevent the diatribe turn without forgetting we are more after this chain of thought that your real people love. The most important thing is that some players are purely socially motivated. These people develop online, where other players can meet and interact with. For these people are in the field of social game, the better it will be. What is interesting is that many games with a high level of social complexity have also a large amount of mathematical complexity which socially away could cause motivated players. In a pure form, this type of gamer is looking for an experience that blurs the line between games and chat environment.

Challenge. Competition. Creation. Escape. Socialization. Five different motivation factors that combine to balance the motivation of a particular gamer. We could add more, certainly, but they are for the time being. If where we go with this? I have help to physically pentagonal map and individual players on five motivational tracing axes. While it would have clean air and could be an interesting topic for a text of esoteric role-playing game, it would take us everywhere.

More useful tack, is I think, what motivates us, individually. Know yourself and what hard drives can help you, you know what games you need to play and, more importantly, that you are never anything of frustration. Understand the motivations of others who can give us insight, better help to join us. Many arguments on what is to do the online games due to the other members of the Group incurred are differently motivated. A creative and a challenger probably not the same tendon activities on a night of the Dungeon delve. Neither are one of the escape and competition is also the same way to talk about a game. On the one hand, a game, a world of immersion can expected. On the other hand a is a matrix of numbers to wait, be dissolved and conquered. We all have a little bit of each one of us, and if we can understand what motivates us, we can interact both better and increase the pleasure we find in the game.
