Aesthetics Of Play

[OoKeNnEtHoO]

I was watching this video on this topic and I wanted to share it with the rest of the forums.

 

 

For immediate definitons of the Aesthetics of Play in the video: http://youtu.be/uepAJ-rqJKA?t=4m15s

 

My question to you is "After watching the video, what is/are the core aesthetics of play that Warframe offers to you?"

 

Sense Pleasure, Fantasy, Narrative, Challenge. Fellowship, Competition, Discovery, Expression and/or Abnegation?

 

I think it might be good for the developers to know which they should focus on based on the answers to this question.

 

Please answer the question only. Thank you.

Discovery.

Seriously, I love Warframe, but the times I spend the longest in the game are the times I just explore the tiles. Slaughtering enemies is fun, but never quite as fulfilling or as exciting as finding a new secret area, or finding out that I can

.

Edit: Actually, it's a little bit more than just that. I loved discovering all the parkour tricks you could pull off in Warframe, and finding new mods I haven't seen before is always a joy. Edited May 17, 2013 by Quetzhal

The combination of parkour and mass slaughter. I'm unable to do it down the street due to a severe lack of anything to jump off, but through Warframe, all my fantasies can come true!

 

So I'd go with Fantasy/Challenge =)
