Paperboy  Posts: 44 Joined: 12 Jun 2008     | good survey but i couldn't decide on a favourite game |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 717 Joined: 4 Feb 2008     | No problem Good luck |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 602 Joined: 8 May 2008   | Done, although I would like to point out that I don't steal ALL of my games, just the single-player ones that I wouldn't intend on buying anyway. |
Muckraker  Posts: 235 Joined: 27 Oct 2008   | It was hard to choose a "favorite game" and the explain why was tough. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2703 Joined: 20 Feb 2008     | Ya I struggled with the fave. It is usually whatever game I am playing now. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3923 Joined: 15 Aug 2008  | Good luck, enjoyed the survey. |
On the Record  Posts: 6843 Joined: 22 Aug 2008     | Difficult to choose my favourite game but I made my decision and I believe it's the right one for me. :D Not a bad survey on the whole. |

....which is? I was undecided, so i went with one of the games that marked me the most. Deus Ex....*shuns* User was banned for: FUN FORUM GAME THX FO PLAYIN :3. (Permanent) |

I chose World of Warcraft(Flame on bitches). The amount of hours I've sunk into it, all the enjoyment I got out of it, the friends I've made and the feelings of awesomeness when my guild would finally slaughter that last boss after so many attempts were incredible. I made a point of noting that it has flaws (which it does), but I still hold it up as my favourite game. No other game has come close to pulling me in so much and keeping me entertained. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1173 Joined: 13 Nov 2007   | Great survey, although I'd like to amend my answer to "piracy?" to "I buy all my games... except the ones that aren't being produced anymore and I can't find at the vintage game stores." |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1873 Joined: 13 Jan 2008   | I felt really mean talking about how I really wanted a massive sandbox RPG. I felt as if I was demanding this guy make something that takes big companys years. |
Paperboy  Posts: 34 Joined: 31 Oct 2008   | Nice little survey. |

Press Junketeer  Posts: 383 Joined: 12 Sep 2008  | All done. Where's my cookie? :P Actually a pretty good survey. Made me think about how much time I spend playing games these days - it's not as much as I thought. |

been there. got addicted to that. been WoW free for 2 months now and holding strong. it is a fun game though, and if the problems could be fixed it would be great. an insta-ban button for those damn gold seller would be great. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1181 Joined: 11 Sep 2008   | Finished I liked this survey, well done. |
BANNED  Posts: 3486 Joined: 25 Aug 2008  | I just went for COD4 as my favourite game, but then again it is my current favourite... The single player is fantabbidoozle, but it's the multiplayer that swings it for me. It's just so... rewarding. It's very fun, and lasts forever and ever.

Press Junketeer  Posts: 360 Joined: 25 May 2008   | Good survey. Actually surprised myself when I answered what my favourite game was. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1424 Joined: 2 Mar 2008 | For me, I cheated a little. I'll say that I put a series for the favorite gamnes. Seriously, don't make me chose which is my favorite. Oh, and you can guess (my user name is Mstrswrd, or Master Sword. Take a guess what my favorite series is.) |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 369 Joined: 14 Aug 2008   | This was a great survey. Looking foward for the finished product. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 167 Joined: 15 Jul 2008 | great job and good luck |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 443 Joined: 1 Feb 2008   | Took the survey. Best of luck with a software development cycle, school courses, some semblance of a social life, and otherwise meeting the essentials of life itself. |
On the Record  Posts: 6209 Joined: 10 Mar 2008   | Finished the survey, and good luck with whatever it is you're acomplishing! My favorite game was LittleBigPlanet just after MGS4 :3 |
Anonymous Source Posts: 3 Joined: 1 Nov 2008 | Hey guys, got an update - the survey's had a total of 531 responses, in less than a day! The escapist has made 136 of those entries, second biggest response behind Facepunch Studios. Thanks a heap for all your input and encouragement. Haha, wanna release some of the results but afraid of effecting people's responses :)
Haha yeah, having completed a smaller game project a few weeks ago, I'm pretty damn scared of how much time it's going to suck up. Farewell once more, social life...
Nah, don't worry about it - write whatever you want. Otherwise it'd be biased :) EDIT: If anybody wants to help out, got any other places I could submit the survey? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1394 Joined: 31 Aug 2008   | Done. Well-written survey. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1901 Joined: 20 Jul 2008 | I picked Counter-Strike as my favorite game, mostly because its such an easy game to just jump into whenever you want to. Also, I think its just cuz its a "current" favorite for me. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2651 Joined: 20 Jul 2008    | Oo-rah. Great survey, was actually interesting. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 70 Joined: 31 Oct 2008 | You know the right questions to ask. hope my thoughts help you. i want to be a game designer & programmer |

Just a question, what's the purpose of this survey? Is it just a investigation of the market in the broadest sense as you say, or is it also a jumping point for your design? ^^; |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 626 Joined: 12 Sep 2008  | That was a good survey. |

Hey!
I'm creating a game for my Major Design Project in my final year at school, and one of the first requirements is for me to investigate my market. This community's part of my market, being game players and all.
Just hoping you guys'd be keen and interested in taking part - I'm going to post the results and analysis in around two weeks, it'll be interesting to see how things turn out. This survey is being posted across a few communities, so there'll hopefully be enough responses that the results will be pretty valid. All it requires is your input... it won't take long, I promise :)
So: Take the survey (no use now!)
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE 17/11/08
I've got the first set of results set up, feel free to see how it turned out. If you're interested, I'm happy to whip up a representation of some of the other data - such as the preferences of gamers who value violence, or the odd 6% or so who don't care about gameplay, etc. Just ask!
