Online survey on Player experience - Games

Hello everybody, I'm Loïc, I'm a researcher at the Game Innovation lab, New York University. I do research on player experience in video games. I am collecting responses to an online survey from participants, regardless their profile and their expertise in video/computer gaming. Everybody can participate! Your task will be just to look at game screenshots and answer some questions about them. To participate, it's very simple. Please click on this link (or copy and paste the URL below into your internet browser) and fill the questionnaire: [url]https://nyu.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_86utIwGf8wssOZT[/url] The estimated duration of completion is about 20-25 minutes. The aim of the present study is to investigate the link between the user interface design in video/computer games and the player experience. Also, it would be a great help if you could circulate this call for participants as much as possible. We need you to advance the knowledge in games user research :) Thank you very much for your help and your cooperation!

[QUOTE=robo126;43298196]Took the survey, got kinda repetitive though[/QUOTE] agreed, for part 2 i feel like they had shown every pair twice

so the best way you thought you could get unbiased results is to sign up on a random forum and post a survey with people who in all likelihood will answer the questions either with bias (COD sucks, HL2 fanboy etc) or just answer random bullshit.

My general opinion on HUDs is less is more, but keep all HUD elements on the lower side of the screen and don't waste space.

Would you consider as a... novice video game player intermediate video game player expert video game player That doesn't make any sense And the whole HUD part is broken for me and i find it really stupid. I don't want to go around rating HUDs and all that what does that have to do with anything

Those huds were so infuriating to see holy shit i hated all the RTS ones.

I think that's the point. They'll take several unconventional approaches to see what people's reactions are. I added explanations to nearly all of em.
