简述休闲游戏的5大主要特征

作者:Nathan

近期休闲游戏越来越流行,所以我觉得有必要花点时间来阐述休闲电子游戏的定义。当然,并非所有休闲游戏都与我下文的观点相同,也许存在些许例外。休闲游戏玩家往往年龄较大,而且多数为女性(比例为74%)。当然,理解休闲游戏的最简单方法就是体验这些游戏。

1、它们简单易学

休闲游戏往往比硬核游戏简单。不含有紧张的数据呈现等内容。

2、没有强烈的紧张感

多数休闲游戏不含有生死场景。屏幕上呈现的只是简单的游戏内容。

3、体验时间较短

因为休闲玩家每次玩游戏的时间较短(游戏邦注:15分钟左右),所以游戏的总耗时不应当多达数十个小时。

4、缺乏投入感

与MMO游戏不同,你不会感觉到有人需要自己去玩游戏。你不会觉得有人期待你登录游戏给他们提供帮助。你可以暂停游戏数周时间,这不会产生丝毫的影响。

5、老少皆宜

根据北美的ESRB,休闲游戏评级应当是E或E10。休闲游戏玩家往往是孩子和家长,当然也包括些许硬核玩家。

我希望上述内容能够让你更加理解休闲游戏及其玩家定义。

What is a Casual Game?

Nathan

Casual games are getting more popular by the second, so I thought I would take a few minutes to tell you the definition of a casual video game. Of course, a game can still be casual and yet contradict some of the things I am about to say. Casual gamers are usually older and usually mostly female (%74). Of course, the easiest way to understand casual games is to play them.

1.) They are easy to learn.

Casual games are usually simpler than core games. No intense statistics or whatever.

2.) Casual conflicts.

Most casual games don’t contain life-or-death scenarios. All you get is a game over screen.

3.) Shorter Play Time.

Since casual players only usually play for short bursts (like 15 minutes) at a time, the game shouldn’t take 40 hours to complete.

4.) Lack Of Commitment.

Unlike MMOs, you don’t feel the need to play casual games. You don’t feel like you have people counting on you to come, play and help them out (like in MMORPG raids). You could go away from the game for weeks on end and never see an effect on anything.

5.) Family Friendly.

Casual games should be rated E or E10 (for the ESRB in North America). Remember the people who play casual games (moms, aunts, dads, little kids, oh, and some hardcore gamers as well!).

I hope this helps you understand casual games (and gamers) more. (Source: Games By Design)
