Theorycrafting: Rewarding Elements In Videogames - What Makes Videogames Rewarding To You
Edit: I like to use "Mastery" as another way of defining Educated Empowerment, hence why I mentioned it as number 6, call it whatever you want, it's all the same thing really, I just think the term "empowerment" is fitting because when you overcome a tough obstacle, it feels empowering. Don't get too caught up in the semantics, call them whatever you want.
I decided to do this video again because the original video was 57 minutes long and wasn't scripted so I didn't like it, this is the replacement for that video, I also added some music too since looking back I think the lack of music makes the videos kinda boring to listen to so hopefully this one will be better.
