What makes a video game successful?

Hey Holla Forums!

I am a UI/UX student from Canada and I have a favour to ask.

Please follow the next link to complete a quick survey I put together for one of my classes.

docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfiqEoyDl3oJizJ1_gNt0gAopjikt1a4a3ukl1YI6XmvzrAtA/viewform

The objective of the survey is to determine some aspects that make a video game "good" in the eyes of gamers.

Any help is certainly appreciated. If you have any comments about the form itself, please let me know as well.

Cheers 🍻

Your survey sucks, it does not distinguish between what we want in a game or what we realistically think will make a game popular. For example, I think for game to be an esport it should have balanced characters or none at all, but reality has proved that it does not need that to become popular.

Thanks, this is valuable insight that will help in improving my survey-making skills.

OP, please fuck me. I love Canadians

...

YOU'RE MAKING IT WORSE. DELETE THIS. DELETE THIS NOW OP. YOU'RE GOING TO THE POINT OF NO RETURN

LMAO deleted

You're not fucking trying at all, stop namefagging and leave

See what I told you dude? Also, yes, lurk more. You can make an entire book on Holla Forums.
Just lurk any thread discussing a videogame. You don't need a survey, my guy.

stopped reading right there

There is no single variable that determines a game's success.
Stop trying to find that magic bullet, there isn't one and the effort to find one is causing the cancer of market homogenization.

On a related note,
You're an even bigger faggot than I could have imagined.

Also, bad, BAD timing. Don't put ubisoft in your OP. You gotta lurk and know the customs in this site, guy! I recommend you delete and try again in an hour. In that hour, lurk this board and learn how it works a bit.

If I may, I'd like to correct this. There is one magic bullet to making a successful game, and that is for the developer to continue raising their standards after every release (Good or bad).

Forgive me for figuring that devs having standards should be so standard as to be implicit.

"if you stop becoming better, you stop being good"

kek you shouldn't have posted here

DAY OF THE RAKE

That's good sarcasm. You're learning our customs. Now keep lurking and you'll get it. You'll probably fucking haaaaate your college when you're done milking this board though. Maybe not hey

A FUCKING LEAF

You forgot the #1 rule of chans: post your address as collateral for good faith discussions.

I agree, it does come off as one of those things that should be filed under "basic common sense", but you'd be surprised how few actually practice it (And, I'm not just talking about gaming).

Nah man I'm really loving it and this class is super interesting. I've just never been good at video games and because of that I don't have very many video gamer friends.

LOL I feel like I'm missing something here… Is there like a thing against Canadians on this board or just in general?

I posted on leddit too. Does this count?

reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/6e9jy7/survey_what_are_the_characteristics_of_a_good/

WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?
OH MY GOD.

OP PLEASE DELETE THIS THREAD AND TRY AGAIN IN AN HOUR. LURK MORE.
A big part of this userbase hates reddit with a passion and Canadians for being spineless, cowardly fuckers without any pride for their race and culture and will let any disgusting third worlder invade to destroy their land.

Please. Please lurk more OP. PLEASE FUCK

The whole point of the assignment is to make a Survey, not to actually find out what makes a game good.

So basically they picked a topic that is specifically difficult to determine objectively. The challenge is to formulate the questions in the best way to get the most meaningful data.

I knew I was basically throwing myself to the wolves by putting my stuff on the chans but I love y'all and y'all are often funnier than the folks at reddit.

Oh ohhhh ohhhhhhhhh.
Yes. We are funnier because we are cynical. Not in the rick and Morty "Hahah am I cool yet way", but in the way that people here know a lot of things that plain horrible. We don't sugarcoat shit like the trannyfaggots at reddit.
If you want to get the best data, then actually give an incentive for people to click. I guarantee, a lot of people have already hidden the thread due to how painfully obvious you've shown yourself as a foreigner.

Anyways would you fuck this?

...

Post more faggot

Nah, not for me.

Thanks for your insight guys! Cheers 🍻

Okay, then you should probably learn that your data is meaningless unless you go at it from a scope far beyond just games. Economics is also a part of it (All game companies have been suffering since 2007), culture (Numerous consoles have failed in Japan, but succeeded in the West, and vice versa), marketing (There's a reason the Wii was a success beyond "Filthy casuals"), and the basic understanding of human nature (PDF related).

Also, you should come to realize that all people do 'NOT have good tastes what so ever. None of us do. None of us ever have, and none of us ever will.

Ayone interested in doing the survey would without and incentive, you must be some ADHD retard to need one to do things, plus you are a huge faggot, and sound like you have the 4chan "muh sekreet club" mentality

Not an argument.

Not an argument either

Made a better version.

I'm glad you're self aware.

It's my pleasure to share something with you

hol up, we had this shit last year
check em

What's your problem with secret club mentalities, apart from the fact that if this board still had one I wouldn't have to suffer your faggotry?

Porn. Lots and lots of it. See: overwatch.

Your questions are garbage and you should feel bad about it.

You mean
FTFY

This fagot might be onto something.
