We take a survey analyzing our motivations as gamers and we do so, for science! We took the survey from Quantic Foundry, a market research company focused on gamer motivation that combines social science with data science to understand what drives gamers. We share our survey results and discuss if we feel they are on the money or not. Plus, we talk about some of Quantic Foundry’s key leanings regarding how age seems to be a bigger defining factor in our evolving taste in video games more than gender.

🚨 SPOILER WARNING 🚨 This episode contains many spoilers about Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
We’re bringing you this special episode of the GoGCast to discuss a game that consumed hours of our time: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. We had so much to say about the story and the new features and we couldn’t do so while avoiding spoilers so we just had to do a Spoilercast! We talk about what makes it so different from past franchise titles, what carried over from other Assassin’s Creed games and why we loved it so much. We also discuss in depth the story, our choices and how it affected our misthios’ fate, the illusion of choice portrayed in episode 2 of the latest DLC and so much more.
