What are your gamer motivations?

action
creativity
social

Strategy>Completion>Excitement>Discovery>Challenge>Competiton>Story>Community with the others not really coming into play.

cringe chart

Giving my mind something to look at so it doesn't attack me with constant negative thoughts.

It doesn't work very often.

Immersion and action are the lowest tier, literally for braindead plebs. Social is only slightly above that with Competitive>Community.

Mastery first, then an even distribution between competition, completion, story and design which depends on the game.
Also this:

Speed, simulation and licensed vehicles. I guess I can scratch fantasy.

I never understood why that's a meme, it's literally the response 99% of people used to have when asked what music they listened to, till rap started infesting the modern music industry and now everything is "MUH YO YO SHOTS CARS DRUGS N WIMMIN" garbage.

Because it means you are a basic bitch that isn't even aware of the vast majority of genres and thinks it boils down to "pop, country and rap".

Favorite genres:
>Platformers
>Fighting games
>Kart/futuristic racers

Action with a side of mastery.

I listen to 40s jazz standards and tmbg. Rate my taste

Name-dropping a single genre and band means you are a basic bitch, it's like saying you exclusively play CS

I dont like either and have never even played fortnite. Last cod I played was blacks ops 3

No you don't, I seriously fucking doubt you listen to even 10% of EDM genres for example.

>HAHA TURN BASED BRAINLET

Why would you not want instant gratification?

No you idiot. Stop projecting. There are so many styles of music that it's easier to just rule out garbage country and garbage rap. Troglodyte

Sure, you caught me there, but what does it matter? I’m not gonna make a curated list of every genre and artist I listen to when someone asks, so I’ll either drop a couple of my favorites or just say I listen to a little of everything. I’m a “basic bitch” either way then.

Oh the irony

>he listens to anything other than country and rap

In almost every single case, delayed gratification > instant gratification. In a video game a well fought victory or planned strategy will produce a higher level of enjoyment than some press Q to win ultimate or instant requeue into the 100th fortnite match.

And it will keep on being wrong and proving the meme right, the whole point is that people who think they listen to "everything" don't know just how fucking many diverse genres there are.
Same applies to games.

Depends entirely on the genre.

What do you think Wolf3D, Doom, Duke, Blood, etc. are you fucking retard?

This is an interactive medium you fucking retard. The first and best video games were instant gratification boom boom explosions at a constant pace. If you don't have the reaction times to keep up stay in your pause menus

>e-sports and serious gaming is a joke
Watch some Quake tournaments and tell me that's true. There is definite skill and thought involved, no doubt about it.

I'd say everything besides achievement and immersion. I enjoy a lot of aspects of gaming, but the one thing I can't do is see it as anything else than a game. Games can be great ways of having an experience, connecting with others, something worth improving at, and a way to express yourself, but I don't value achievement in games or really stepping out of the shoes of myself as the player.

Team Work != Community

Most co-op games are about being a functioning cog in a system.

You can get immersed without being delusional about it.

I mean people can and there's nothing wrong about it but I just can't do it. That's just not how I'm wired, ya dig?

It just means you don't enjoy games much or have a really shitty setup, I bet you don't even have a decent sound system.

I think immersion is more of being in the moment, you know. Having a conversation in an RPG and thinking through the responses without looking at it as an encounter contrived by a video game, but an actual situation that you most deal with. Not an explicit "I am my character" moment

>experiment with game mechanics
There exist people who, when you put a controller in their hand, DON'T immediately start pressing buttons to see what happens. It never ceases to upset me. "I wonder what would happen if I..." is not a normie thought process.

I'm pretty sure like 20% of MMO players never once actually read their skill descriptions and just press what they can on cooldown. For some reason this jumps to 60% in GW2

It's the Wiki Curse.
Everything you need to know is already digested, nothing is a mystery. It pains my heart but 'finding stuff out' is a lost art. You know everything you can do with a game before it comes out.

Yeah I cant do that. Usually when I go through dialogue I follow the lines of inquiry that I feel would be the most fun or interesting to follow- I don't actually RP.
I enjoy games a lot man. You're kinda right about the sound thing though. When I was growing up my parents never bought a pair of headphones so I novolumed most games, so it probably conditioned me to care less about sounds than most gamers. I have a good setup now (bose headphones for PC gaming, stereo on my TV).

That wasn't what I said, though. It's not roleplaying. It's thinking of the situation first hand, instead of running it through the filter of "this is a videogame". I'm sure you have experienced that

Unless Achievement includes actual achievements/trophies, in which case, fuck that shit, those things have taken a lot of fun out of playing games for me.

A mix of Immersion and Mastery

Action/Mastery, the combo of choice for true chads everywhere

Creativity > Immersion > Action > Mastery > Social > Achievement

Immersion is referring to the sense of being immersed in a game's world, lore, setting, atmosphere, much more than just story, good example is Mass Effect.

Also social only for multiplayer games, Battlefield, Battlefront, etc..

Its better when a game has a mix of those elements, like pic related, although its pretty low on the creativity front.

Yeah but they don't have anything that mentions it outside of game designed with it in mind (Sims, Kerbal Space Program, etc)

Theres no way the survey knows that when I choose GTAV as one of my top favorite games its because of how I use it as a modding sandbox, theres no "Modding" motivation (or even questions about it, its all just meant to imply games with those aspects already designed into them) which I think deserves its own section, or maybe they do lump that all into Discovery/Design I don't know

These guys really need to differentiate social/competitive/etc from simply enjoying pub servers.

Thats the only kinda of "social" gaming experience I can tolerate and enjoy but its lumped in with all the rest, or not even specifically mentioned, they mention duels, matches but not simply team vs. team, anonymously on public servers desu.

/thread

Calling competition a "social" motivation is completely ridiculous and shows that whoever made this chart has never played a game seriously.

I don't compete because I care about other people. I play competitive games specifically to impose myself on lesser players, which is everyone (on my good days.) I usually play with chat disabled or minimized so I don't have to deal with whining and distractions from cannon fodder.

If teammates are getting in the way I punish them by throwing the game and then avoid them, or, if the game does not support that functionality, I mark them for throwing in future games until they have deranked out of my skill range. When opponents show weakness like whining after losing against me, I specifically target them in the future and occasionally type "?" after I kill them. I would probably be classified as a sociopath, which is otherwise known as "antisocial disorder" - so how can it be that competitive gaming is "socially motivated"? I just want to dominate people.

They don't have to be combined together all the time but these are the core fundamentals of games.

Action Socials aren't thinking when they are playing, just going through the motions. Immersionfags should be ashamed of yourselves. Creativityfags are alright, Minecraft and all its spawn are decent fun in a sandbox and they still have (self-defined) achievements to pursue.
