Survey: Violence in Video Games

[Jarrastafari]

Hi guys; following up from my previous thread I just wanted to ask if you'd be willing to do a quick survey (or both parts) to help me collect data for my dissertation on games design.

Here are the links;

• Part 1 - Multi-choice - [2 mins] Closed
• Part 2 - Open - [5-10 mins] Closed

Thanks, Dan.

Edit: Overwhelming amount of responses. Thanks to those who gave their time and shared their views!

Done but I do feel your survey leans towards showing violence as bad and unacceptable in games and acts more like a witch hunt than a neutral survey

I see it as the other way around.

Interesting to see it read both ways. In honesty I hold no opinion on the matter but tried to keep the answers open to either view.

Yeah I hope the OP isn't Jack Thompson.

Definitely not!

Done but...

Part 1 Question 3 - what do you mean by "enjoy"? If you mean do I revel in the idea of shooting players in the face, then no, but if you mean do I enjoy beating people by for instance shooting them in the face then yes, but there is a big difference.

I see what you mean, that's a hard one. So with this question I'm looking to see if there any people who actively dislike violence (portrayal of the act) or if any see it as just a mechanic of the game alone.

Please skip any question if you can't answer comfortably, this will let me know there was an issue.

Thanks to all who answered peace.

Thanks again for the responses. It is much appreciated.

The surveys are now closed but I have read through all the answers and feedback here.
