Facebook游戏能够利用零碎时间

Facebook游戏既快速又简单,这是玩家选择此游戏的原因之一。MMO游戏需耗费大量时间和资金,时间对于很多人而言都是非常宝贵的。对于那些无法像投入工作那样在游戏中花费大把时间的族群来说,Facebook游戏是首选。Facebook游戏能够让玩家快速登陆,只消几分钟就能够完成晋级任务。但对那些沉迷游戏的玩家来说,他们也难以抗拒此类游戏(游戏邦注:环顾Facebook虚拟世界你会发现游戏沉迷者仍旧存在,只是他们已找到新出路)。

同好友竞争是玩家选择Facebook游戏的另一大原因

几乎所有Facebook帐号都会弹出游戏邀请。虽然有些用户最初会忽略此信息,但通常不久之后都会成为参与其中。最初应好友邀请的玩家最终都会变成电子游戏迷。来自埃文斯维尔的61岁Pam Skaggs表示,“我最初玩游戏是因为朋友,接着觉得游戏非常有趣,最后就完全沉浸其中。我早晨登陆所有Ville游戏的首个任务就是饲养动物、料理宠物、收集作物以及操练军队。有没有Ville帮助团体呢?”Facebook游戏着实颇具沉浸性。大家依旧对MMO游戏成瘾性存有争议,但Facebook已逐步能够同此突然袭击进行抗争。

无需顶级电脑配置

多数PC游戏需耗费巨大功率(游戏邦注:这还是从最低要求考虑)。传统玩家会掏出大笔资金更新系统,跟进当前电子游戏水平。但很多玩家无力承担此费用,或者不愿为高功率技术掏钱。Facebook游戏基于网页,能够运作于所有系统,这样该游戏开发者就具有传统游戏开发商所没有的优势,因为他们不会流失任何群体。随着成千上万玩家开始体验游戏,公司单凭广告就能够获利丰厚。大型开发商逐步顺应Facebook热潮不足为奇,他们如今纷纷着手制作自己的应用。

无聊感是促使Facebook游戏风靡的另一原因

我们都会感到无聊,这是很多Facebook玩家面临的问题。很多玩家选择Facebook游戏是因为它们易于上手,他们没有其他更好的选择。作为3个小孩妈妈的Nicole Arslanbas表示,“我玩Facebook游戏只是因为网页没有新的更新动态。”过去电视是大家无事可做的选择,但如今我们显然离不开电脑。但你无事可做时,可以随便浏览网页,或者耕作农场。(本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译,如需转载请联系:游戏邦

Facebook Games: Why We Play Them and Why They Are Popular

by  Adele Caelia

Adele Caelia questions people in the Facebook community about their gaming habits, and asks why they play.

Facebook Games Can Be Played in Small Chunks of Time

Facebook games are fast and easy, and this is one of the major reasons why people play them. MMOs take a lot of time and investment, and it seems that time is a luxury for many. For those who can’t spend as much time gaming as they do working, Facebook games fit the bill. Facebook games allow users to quickly log in, and do what they need to do to advance in only a matter of minutes. Yet, for those who have had that taste of gaming, they just can’t seem to help themselves. Take a look around the Facebook virtual worlds, and you will find that the addicts are still there, but they’ve found a new drug.

To Compete With Friends is one big reason we play Facebook games.

You can guarantee that practically every Facebook account is bombarded with game invites. While many might start off ignoring them, it usually isn’t long before they join the masses. What starts out as accepting a friend’s invite, simply because they asked, quickly turns into video game addiction. Pam Skaggs, 61, of Evansville, IN says “I started playing because friends were. It became fun., [and] then it became addicting. [I] have to get to all my Ville’s first thing in the morning to feed, pet, gather, [and] train. Is there Ville’s help groups?” Facebook games are indeed addicting, and while the controversy continues over the addictive properties of MMOs; Facebook games are slowly rising up for a sneak attack.

No Super Computer Needed

Most PC games require a lot of power, even at the minimum requirements. Traditional gamers are willing to fork over a lot of cash to keep their systems up-to-date and on par with current video games. Many people, however, simply can’t afford, or won’t spent the money for high powered technology. Because Facebook games are web-based they can run on almost any system; giving the application creators the upper hand when compared to traditional game developers, because they don’t have to leave anyone out. With millions of people playing, the companies can make big bucks on the ad revenue alone. It’s not shocking that big name developers have caught on to the Facebook craze, and are now developing their own applications.

Boredom is another reason Facebook games are popular.

Boredom. It hits us all, and it’s role in the abundance of Facebook gamers cannot be denied. Many people play Facebook games, because quite simply, they have nothing better to do. “I play FB games when there aren’t any new status updates,” states Nicole Arslanbas, mother of three in Pelham, NH. While once upon a time, TV was the go to when there was nothing else to do, in today’s society, we just can’t seem to leave the computer. When you have nothing better to do, you can surf the web aimlessly, or you can plow your farm. Need I say more?(Source:brighthub
