A few days ago, I was thinking about what it is that makes me want to click links to games and what makes me want to download them.
I came to a few conclusions.
* Simplistic, well done art appeals to me way more than detailed art. This might be because a screenshot cannot do a detailed art style justice.
* Few words, that get straight to the point. Walls of text feel like a mental investment, and often I just wont bother.
* I have to know what the game is about at first glance. Again, figuring out whats going on feels like to much of a mental investment (I'm seeing a trend here...)
* File sizes of over 400mb are an immediate turn off.
* I have to get a sense that I will understand how to play the game without much work.
Anyway, I was wondering if any of you out there had paid any attention to what makes you click.
Are my thoughts more just personal taste?
Or is there something universal about how people decide whether to check out a game or not?
Look forward to hearing what people think! :)
