Poll: Rpg's and horror games

[KazCos]

I know this type of poll has probably already been done before but I need to get some basic statistics on this for my university project (which I wont go into right now) and I was hoping you would all help me out. I dont want to start any flame wars or anything I just want to know everyones opinion about why they like RPGs and horror games.

You realise that they're both completely different genres? And not mutually exclusive (see System Shock 1/2).

 

[KazCos]

I know but its just a sort of market research type question. When I say both I dont mean one game with horror/rpg elements I mean that they play both these types of games

May I ask why?

I guess that i like both, they are kind of dfferent since horror games tend to be action focused games ,i havent ever played an horror rpg game.

I have to show Ive done some basic market research for my games design course project

Err, if you're doing market research, you should really put more than two preferences. Especially two pretty vague terms with quite a sizable intercept.

I only used those preferences because they are the only genres I'm doing research into right now and because they are mostly what my project is about. I know theyre very vague and each can be expanded on into different types of horror and rpg games but I'm trying not to get too bogged down with that yet, just want to keep it basic for now.
