I started to think about that while reading the thread about FF and DQ possibly coming to PS3 and Xbox 360.
As I hate RPGs with a passion, I was wondering : "What the fuck is drawing people into this type of gaming ?"
So, after thinking about it for a few seconds, I came up with :
-Attachment for characters in the game
-"Greed" .... more or less wanting your character to become stronger and stronger, kinda relates to attachment for characters
-Passive management (magic points, items inventory, life points, etc...)
-Curiosity (finding secret stuff)
-Strong story (wanting to see what's next, the end)
That brings me to question myself about what draws me into gaming. I normally play fighting and puzzle games, 2D shooters, some first person shooters online.
-Skills based. You can always get better but not passively, the character you control always stay the same, to get better you got to practice.
-Multiplayer competition. Possibility to directly test your skills against someone else, at the same time, in the same game.
-Insane replay value, as the goal of the games I like is not to "finish" a game but to get better at it.
So, what draws you into the types of games you play ?
