Rules are placed within games so that players know how to play the games. Having rules in a game will allow the developers to set boundaries in order for the player to know what is right and what is wrong within the game. Game designers have to set the rules before starting there game as it will state what the characters will be able to do, how objects and components will be able to interact with the characters and players. So rules need to be set so that all the components can work together which therefore make a successful game. Rules will allow the game to know what to do when they are activated or broken as well. Different games have different rules for example in FIFA 15, if the player fouls the opponent then the opponent will receive a foul or a penalty. On the other hand, in Grand Theft Auto 5, if the player kills a civilian then they will get a 1 star so they will be watched by the police.
Addiction
Addiction is the state where the player starts to trapped within the game world or to something which is mentally or physically habit forming. There are some main reasons why players start to get addicted to the game. One reason is that players may start to become immersed to the game world because it starts to look more life like and allows some players to escape from the real life and do things that they are not able to do in the real life like fly, shoot enemy's or even more. Another reason is that players get addicted to the competitive aspect of the game and get a little adrenaline rush. For example people get addicted to if FIFA 15 which allows players to get a high after winning a tough game and start to enjoy the feeling and end up playing more than they expected. Video game designers will aim to make there game addictive as they will want players to play there game constantly and it shows how popular the game will be.
