Up to level 3....
I strongly agree this game is a canon game.
it was THAT popular, even people who don't play it has herd of WOW.
when it was first out it surprise the audiences. the graphic, the sound, the content and everything.
however the technology has improved so fast, wow was slowly swollen down after years.
having said that a lot of current games tried to copy the ideas from wow.
from graphics, contents, humor....ect.
i may like the game if i played it 8 years ago.
unfortunately there are more options among online games to choose from other than wow.
i can say that wow is not so popular anymore, but it surely created the first genre of the "wow type" game.
i had a chance to play with my friends a year ago. had 2 characters up to lv.10 (i even forget what they were...healer and mage i think ), but due to lack of playing time, and i didn't get attracted by the game, so i stopped playing. wasted 40 bux on it. haha
anyway...it was cool experiencing the game-play.
but subjectively im not interested in wow.

2930_ WOW_10-hours game play
First of all, I want to apologize for not having a picture of my character's status, cause I play trial version of WOW, and it has expired. I was around level 10, so as my pet. I have upgraded my equipments such as weapon, gloves, cap, boots for 3 or 4 times. And have leart one cooking skill, two fighting skills, if I remember correctly. Also I have died few times during the game play.

2837_WOW_CHARACTER
I choose night elf because she looks very cool. And, I love Mage.
3004_wow play
After i started my game play, i found it is hard to level up, i was having trouble with finding objectives and the way to complete them. I was just fighting with those monsters in the world. Finally,i decided to change my occupation when i reached level 3.
I choosed a male TAUREN as my new hero. He is a warrior with a strong body. The reasons why i choosed him is because he looks stronger .
After i started with my new warrior, i found it is more easy to get objectives and complete them.
So far i reached level 10. As conclusion， i prefer UNDEAN`s image，i prefer TAUREN`s game world.
2921_wow character
My character in wow is a taurent and he is a paladin. i still havent fugue out what is the main feature of paladin but it is powerful so . i reached lvl 7 and dont want stay in the small town anymore i want to go to somewhere else it is really boring fighting with a few of stupid wild animals all around.the reason why i choose taurent is because i was informed that taurent is one of the hugest charactor in this game and i like big things.
3847_WoW character
A Blood Elf Priest.
From a gameplay standpoint, I choose a priest for the character class. In a ROLE-PLAYING game, people play in groups and each person has a specific job to cover in order for the group to overcome challenges presented to them, in World of Warcraft's case surviving and beating down on wave upon wave of monsters and other uglies. WoW's (and any other RPG to date since Dungeons & Dragons) group dynamic has 3 major roles. Tank, the guy who keeps the group alive by directing as much damage as possible away from the group to himself. Damager, the guy who does the bulk of the damage to the enemy party. And the Healer, the guy who erases any damage sustained by the group. As a character class that works as a healer, I pick the priest because it's a big challenge to play (keeping 5 people alive and in working condition is much harder to do than it sounds), it's an important and relatively rare role (majority play as damagers for the sheer power trip of watching something crumple in pain to your 99999 damage strike), and there's a certain different feeling of accomplishment to being the one guy that everyone relies on to stay alive.
From an aesthetic standpoint, I pick female blood elf. Nope, the "I'd rather be looking at a girl's butt while playing" excuse doesn't apply here (though it would influence why I'd pick a blood elf female over, say, an undead or troll female). It's more of a chance to try and flesh out a concept character by bringing it out into an online rpg (for this character, it's a meek, naive girl trained by monks in the ways of White Magic).
That, and as one who grew up immersed in the Japanese Anime aesthetic of cutesy teenagers with big eyes, the blood elf is the only race that fits =)
2917 - Michael my WoW char
have 10 days cataclysm trial, now I can play new race. I think to be able to change form between Human and Wolf is awesome.
Her class is a rogue, speedy and agility class. Rogue has sprint ability while worgen racial skill has another sprint. No one can run away from me with 2 sprint!!!!.
ps. Why I choose female? I always play female character but it is not because I wanna be female or something.
In this game, I must look at the back of my character right????
I just prefer looking at female butt rather than male!! hahahaha
2644_WOW_Character
This is my character, she is a druid for Worgen race. Worgen is the new race in the Cataclysm, and another one is Goblin. I choose this race cuz I love the wild and handsome outside, of course their debauched aristocratic temperament attracted me. And Druids are shape-shifters with an affinity for the plant and animal kingdoms. They have three types, Balance, Feral and Restoration. They can be turned into a variety of animal forms to attack, heal or travel in the world. So I choose this amazing occupation.XD
2715_WOW_Character
my WOW character is a female Undead and she is a Mage. i think "Undead" is a cool race because they can't dead?! lol~
i choose Mage as my occupation caz i am not good at fighting but i still want my character can has so cool and magnificent moves so i choose Mage.
and~i wanna it is a girl that can represent me ^^

Bayonetta - focus group report
The purpose of forming a game focus group is to find out the out come of a particular game. Our focus group members are Jenny, Arial, Denise, Viviane, Anita…and we’re focusing on the game-Bayonetta with 20 questions to interview.
During the discussion we’ve interviewed 8 people. These 8 people are around age 18-30. 8 of them are males, and all of them are full times student, some have a part time job.
The game seems to have a positive outcome. In general, they all enjoy this game, they know this game from internet and friends. During the discussion they all agreed the main character Bayonetta is the centre selling point of the game. Bayonetta appears to the audience that she has a fantastic body shape, fancy movement, attractive and cool. Bayonetta is very dynamic; the focus group has demonstrated that she never bored them. A great example quoted by Chris: “Her hair transforms to a wolf when she does special tricks….she looks cool in that form”. And in addition, Choi also made a comment: “when she gets necked I see it as a player reward.”
The result finalized that it is a very successful characteristic game.
Neverless the world in the game is unique. The whole environment is a godly world. The focus group thinks they’re greatly influenced by the environment and surrounding during the game play.
The group also indicated they like the style of the game a lot, including the fancy movements, environment design, background music and graphics. Quotes form Michal “I even download its background music, because it is awesome! I love it”. It became quite obvious that the graphic has reached a high standard of audience’s expectation, 8 of them gave a 10/10 for the graphic.
The game play is quite simple. Knowing what to do in the game play is easy to understand. Audiences can easily find out their missions by simple hints or notice by the NPC. They reckon there’s no need to look at the instruction booklet; instead they preferred the tutorial during game play. E.g., help page.
The interviewees have diverse opinions, some people think the buttons combinations are a lot bit complex not easy to master while some of them think it is easy to remember the controls. They all agreed that the control id vary handy and has a fast reaction during game play. It’s easy to get used to the buttons, however they reckon it is going to cost time for them to master the control and performs perfect moments on the character-Bayonetta.
The group also comment on the loading page, they liked the idea of having a trial play on the character while loading, for the purpose of getting used to the buttons, the reactions before the game starts. Michal says “it’s cool to practice”
The music has been applied in the game has also gave the audience a good taste about the game. The sound effects are excellent; the background music draws the players in even more, easy to get into playing and the character. It in includes rocky and classic style music, very unique component and interesting to experience.
However on the other hand, there are also a few suggestions in a subjective view. The focus group thinks the game should have a partner; it may not have to be a second primary character, but a guider or a helper, to allow players fight easier and have a character to corporate with, other than just Bayonette herself.
The instruction book needs to be more appealing to the player or else it can be eliminated, due to all the tutorials are already included in the game, there is no need for a paper document tutorial.
The player thinks there are too many monsters/enemies appearing all at once. It was a bit hard for the player to handle, at the same time challengeable.
Some player from the focus group also comments on Bayonetta’s personality, her movements and attitude are sometimes overacting. May offence some players in someway, however this is another subjective point that can be discussed.
HEURISTICS!
Hi there,
For the remaining two weeks of class-time, you will be researching your choice from one of two games - using heuristics.
Heuristics just means rules or techniques which have been worked out from real-world experience. Games companies now routinely use heuristic questionnaires to evaluate gameplay.
Your choices are between the following two games:
1) America's Army - http://www.americasarmy.com
2) World of Warcraft (WoW) - us.battle.net/wow/
Here are your rules of engagement:
1) You will be playing your game-choice for the remainder of term (about ten days).
2) As soon as you have created a character, you must screenshot them and submit an explanation of your character details on the blog.
3) You must play no less than ten hours of gametime (the evidence for this will be provided by submitting details of the level you reached at the end of week 12).
4) You can select between any of the three heuristics questionnaires that you are provided. You need to survey yourself and AT LEAST two others who are playing the same game as you...I recommend that you form a guild-group before you start gameplay.
WHERE ARE THE HEURISTICS QUESTIONNAIRES?
In the GOODIES box on the right of the BLOG, you'll find:
a) An excel spreadsheet with the HEP and PLAY questionnaires pre-made for you.
b) Two pdfs which have paper versions of the same
c) In the READINGS you will find the original published papers that the research teams first wrote about these questionnaires!
Have fun playing =]
