Goals in video games are mini tasks within a game that enhance the gaming experience once completed. Video games include goals in order to enhance the gaming experience, which would evidently enhance the gameplay for the player so that the game won't get boring. Different games have different goals within them such as killing an enemy, collecting coins, completing a lap or even scoring a goal. An example of a game that has goals is Mario Karts where one goal is to complete a lap around the track within a race or trying to get ahead of the other players. Another Game that uses goals is FIFA 15 where the goal of the player is to score against there opponent so that they would have a higher advantage against them.
Challenges
Challenges are used within games to build on goals. There are three main types of challenges which are used within games, they are short, medium and long challenges. Short challenges are do not tend to take long to complete and are fairly easy for the player to complete. An example of a short challenge is to get 5 headshots on the enemy within Call of Duty: Black ops. Short challenges are used within games because it keeps the player entertained. The next type of challenge is medium challenge which tends to be longer than short challenges and are usually more of a challenge to complete. An example of a medium challenge is completing a mission in Grand Theft Auto or winning a match on FIFA 15. Medium challenges are used within games because they provide a more challenging objective for the player and also keeps the player entertained. The last type of challenge is long challenges. Long challenges tend to be the longest challenge to complete and are the hardest. An example of a long challenge is to win the trophy at the end of division 1 on FIFA 15. Long challenges are used within games because it keeps the player interested in the game and provides a purpose to it.
Rewards
Rewards are used within games to enhance the experience of the game and also keeps the player interested. Rewards are provided after players complete a challenge or goal which will make the players go for the goals and challenges more meaning that they will improve there skills in the process. There are different types of rewards given to the player on different games and tasks within a game. Also there are short and long term rewards given by the game. Short term rewards are given after completing a short task such as completing a match on FIFA 15 with a reward of some coins to help players boost there ultimate team. Another example is in Assassins Creed, once you help a villager, you will be awarded with a new weapon to help complete the mission. Long term rewards are rewards that the player will achieve after competing a long task. An example of a long term reward is on FIFA 15 where you will achieve a trophy when getting enough points to win the division. Another example of a long term reward is completing certain tasks on certain guns so that they can receive some skins for there guns. Rewards are used within games because it keeps the players playing the game and to give the player some achievements to show that they are progressing and to show how good they are. If games did not provide awards then players would get bored and feel as if they are playing the game for no reason so they will stop completing goals and challenges as there is no purpose.
