Task 3 - Presentation of Research Results

After getting a fair amount of replies to my surveys, I took the results and pasted them into separate power points for easier analysis.

Quantitative Survey Results:

From my results gathered, I found that the ages of the people that took this survey were either 10-20 or 41+ with 5 of the 8 people being in the 10-20 bracket. also, they were 4 males and 4 females . when asked how much disposable income they would spend each month on games the same, both the £0-£50 bracket and the £200+ bracket had the same percentage of 37.50% with 50-100 coming in second with 25%.  We asked what region they lived in and the majority came from the north of England, mostly in the north west, although, there were a large percentage hailing from other places out of England. it appears that a fair amount of people have had experience with the action/shooter genre with 62.5% saying they've had lots of experience. It turns out, only 62% of people had actually played GTA5 with the rest having no experience with the game at all. Despite this 87.5% actually said they enjoyed playing the game. On average,  of those who played, most played for 10+ hours a week with the rest playing from between 2-5 hours a week. 75% had of people had bought an actual copy of the game and the results were 50/50 when asked of they preferred single or multiplayer games.

Qualitative Survey Results:

For my qualitative results, I asked fewer, more in depth, open-ended questions and gathered quite interesting results. When asked what aspect of GTA5 they were most excited about when first seeing the game, it seems the overall response was the story and the amount of activities available in such a huge, open world as well as being able to explore it all along side your friends. They were then asked what they thought of GTA5's graphical style and the majority thought the graphics were superb and had a high amount of realism to them. when asked what their biggest criticism of the game was, no heists being in the game, which have been promised to be added for over a year now, were a few people's biggest criticisms, whilst others thought the lack of wildlife or very few platform releases were their biggest let down to GTA5. Finally, we asked if they had played other GTA titles and would they rate GTA 5 higher than the others in the series and why. the vast majority said that they would regard this as the best GTA although some said that they thought the feeling of the old games was missing with the updated graphics and game play changes.
