How do YOU rate the game? (important for my Master thesis)
Hello "The Walking Dead"-Players,
My name is Anna, I am from Germany, 24 years old and right now I write my master thesis about video games with a focus on The Walking Dead. I would like to find out what factors are important to make a game successful.
One important aspect for me is the opinion of the gamers. Therefore I would like to ask you what you liked/disliked about the Walking Dead.
I prepared a short survey. It is just one page and it should not take more than 5 minutes. You would help me so much if you could complete the survey, if you played the game. You can find it here:

I don't have so much time left and this is the last big part of my research.
Of course this survey is anonymous. You do not have to enter your eMail adress if you don't want to. I also do not track any IPs..
Next month I have to hand in my thesis. I also will create a blog with my complete thesis. Since this will be in German language, I also will add an English summary. So if you are interested in the results, I will be happy to share them with you.
Thank you very much and best regards,
Anna

Upon completing the survey, I'm a bit concerned how much the questions already suggest the answers. I found myself thinking: "Who would ever give a high rating at this question...?". Then again, if people don't know exactly what your thesis is about, they'll make an educated guess. Possibly a wrong one.
Is the "success" of the game meant as the mere financial success, or is this more the focus on a sensible concept? Is this more of a market analysis, of player preferences, of the present direction "gaming" takes nowadays? What faculty is yours, exactly?
Hope it helps
1. Characters (especially Clementine), Characters made really great.
2. Atmosphere. Hopelessness and depression, fear and human meanness. All horrors of ZA shown here.
3. Storyline is unusuall for ZA thematic.
4. Music. The music in this game sends all the emotions.
Things that I don't liked in The Waking Dead:
1. Main character (really weak, and not interesting)
2. The illusion of choice.
3. Death's of characters, and their behavior in extreme situations, was really dumb.
4. Main antogonist. We didn't known nothing about him before the ending of game, it's just random guy.
I think that they could make Lee much more interesting and charismatically. Anyway it's ONLY my opinion.
