Ladies(?) and gentlemen. I would like your views on the following subject please.
I am trying to begin writing a dissertation based on escapism and gaming.
More specifically, I want to concentrate on why we as gamers are demanding more complex games (in terms of narrative, graphics, game mechanics, immersion etc etc)or not as the case may be. I also want to put this against a backdrop of why gamers want to escape (are you or aren't you?) and what games offer them that other mediums, such as let's say film, does not.
So if you could please answer these questions in your replies I would be grateful.
1. What is your age?
2. What is your sex?
3. What is your nationality?
4. How much time daily do you spend 'Gaming'
5. What platform do you use the most and why?
6. What types of games do you tend to play the most? (select 3 genres)
7. What qualities do you look for in these games (question 3)?
8. Is 'gaming' an obstacle or an asset to your everyday life, why?
9. Has gaming taught you any valuable skills or lessons that you have been applicable to your everyday life or not? if so, please expand
10. For you, does gaming hold any advantages over other forms of entertainment such as books, film, theatre etc, or not? if so why?
11. Have you ever experienced any negativity as a result of being a 'gamer' or not? if so, why do you think this is?
I understand that people will be chipping in here with their views (at least I hope they do) so if you are simply providing your views on any of the questions or the topic as a whole could you please make referencing easier for me and clearly label the start of your post with 'DISCUSSION' in bold.
I look forward to hearing what you all have to say,
Thank you,
Dave
