VG247 Reader Survey – help us help you and win a copy of FUEL!

@Lutz: I wanna be, I wanna be like Mi-ike.

I read VG247 because you can win prizes for filling in surveys.

I read this website over others mainly because you have all the news I could possibly comprehend in one day… and then some.

Oh go on then seeing as everyone is doing it.

I read this site…in order to pretend I like videogames. It works everytime…

I follow this blog because all the best news are here in a perfect text and short, and update at minute. I loved Video Gaming 247!.

I read VG247 because I’m gay for Pat.

No – I’m gay for Pat!

I love Video Games

@SticKboy – you get sloppy seconds.

I read VG247 because it is nice to read something that isn’t just copied and pasted from its source. I get enough of that from Joystiq and Kotaku

There is such a massive navel-gazing discussion about gaming ‘journalism’ at the moment – and yet the vast majority of content on gaming news sites/magazines can hardly be considered serious journalistic reporting.

I like you guys because you seem to take old-fashioned approach to reporting and do it about something I happened to be interested in: the video game industry.

I read VG247 because the amount of Sony fanboys here is staggering, but still less than EG’s community, so it’s like watching inside an aquarium. Fast news and no censorship are another selling point

I read VG247 because of the British humour, the abundant and generally interesting brought news (which isn’t almost console-only, PC gamers still exist as well yes) and the fact you mostly try to contact the parties involved for reactions (which can lead to interesting follow-ups).

Not every newspost is flawless or well researched but that’s normal I think when you’re newsposting on the edge all the time and when the subject of games can be so wide. Try to get more uniformity in your tags as well if you can.

i read the website because i translate the news to arabic
in some arabic games community and this website give the shortcut of news, which is easy to translate it

I read VG247 because it has many updates and reports (almost) all the news at the same time they are known.

I read VG247 because of articles like this, where I can laugh at some brilliantly inventive reader responses for half an hour instead of working.

Oh, and because I can made comments like “Woot, post 117 – Master Chief FTW” and possibly get rewarded for it.

I read this site for gaming news, because it’s awesome.. These guys always put out the main news, the ones that count, y’know?

Not only that but they put in a little flavour of their own at times which I find can actually get the reader to read the whole article instead of little slices =)

VG247 Rules!

The question isn’t good…

It should be “Why NOT read VG247?”

Answer: none.

I read VG247 cause Peter Moore told me to.

Honestly, I read a lot of sites, but this is the only one that keeps me coming back. I like the updates, and I like how stuff is reported on and not just hyped up.

I read VG247 because it’s the best way of keeping up with Peter Moleneux’s new ideas… he invented the dog you know!

When I read VG247 I am in gaming heaven
Updates that are snappy and that makes us very happy
Your writers can be quite witty although they are probably not all pretty
I want a free game to play because VG247 Is where I always stay xx

I am fairly new to VG247. I have been using your site for approximately 2 weeks now and I finally rustled up the courage to register too.

There are several reasons for why I visit this site, some of which I am not proud of but mainly it’s just an unhealthy obsession. I have always been a Kotakuite and I still go there now and again, no other site has managed to pull me away from there. However, once reading VG247 I gained an appreciation for it.

a.) It gives me the news I want, when I want it. It may be just my vision but VG247 always seems to have the insider news before most other websites and that’s just plain awesome.

b.) It’s Britishy. It’s true, that word isn’t found in the OED but any site that has a lot of articles surrounding the gaming industry in Britain is a site worthy of coining a new word in my books.

c.) The design. I am a web designer and as shallow as it may sound I am often put off by websites with little care put into the design of them. VG247 has a nice minimalist design with little stylistic details that make it come to life. To everyone else it may just look like another website but to me it has that special touch.

I’m sure there’s other reasons for why I visit this website but I don’t want to sound too desperate about the whole deal with the game (Fuel). May the best banter wizard win.

P.S. Just completed the survey.

I read VG247 because this is my FUEL for all my game news needs xD

Gives me current information around the clock in an adult format, often before most sites are reporting the same information. Also gives me more industry news in a fashion that will impact my gaming.

I started reading (and continue reading) VG247 because you actually bring journalism to gaming journalism.

I read it because it just happens to be a very very good site.

I read VG247 because it offers Euro/UK-centric news, where most other news sites focus on the US. There is also a great community of both journalists and readers, and the interaction between them is much better than anywhere else.

I also like VG247 because there are the most comments on an article where commenting wins you prizes.

Done survey.

I like yer site Pat. It’s good. Lots of short-burst news and stuff I give a shit about. The EEDAR stuff baffles me – I hate sales prediction stories – but everything else is spot on.

Also ‘Orphanage Explosion’ – you have the best forum name I’ve ever seen.

easily the most up-to-date gaming blog with just enough wit to blow a yank’s mind.

I’ve not filled in the survey yet and don’t want Fuel, but figured I’d answer the question anyway.

What I mainly like about the site is that it updates all the time, and focuses on news (and rumours). I followed Kotaku for a while but there’s such a high amount of non-news content that it grew irritating just sifting through it all, and when EG (I think it was) announced this site was starting I stuck it in my RSS reader and it’s been much more to my tastes.

The design, humour and personality of the site all help, as do the often entertaining comment threads, but content is king.

I was going to say something poignant and worthwhile here, and then I read the games were Xbox only. So you can fuck right off.

You hear that Pat? They said they like the design.

*fingers in ears*

Lalala.

They really like it. One of the best things about the site, they said.

“Content is king,” was the phrase, I believe.

Two words: Rounded corners!

I am now a Survey Monkey.

Anyways, I like VG247 because on most other sites that pretend to be equally reporting on the big three console makers, they are usually always biased towards one of them. Not so with VG247, you tend to be equally sarcastic towards all of the consoles. I applaud you!

Except from that I hope you will add a standard forum with admins, post counts etc. some time in the future. The community might be small and relatively behaved right now, but as the site becomes more popular, it will certainly get flooded by assholes.

I come to VG247 in my hopes for a threesome with Pat and Mike.

hehe

Pfft, 360 only? I guess I’m going to have to bloody buy it myself, eh?

I visit VG247 because they’re so incredibly in touch with PS3 owners ;-P

PS, I am now also a survey monkey

i come here for the great news,news comments,irrelevant comments,the patlike’s effect
loki

and for other reasons i cant say here

ps:i dont want the game i dont own neither 3shixty nor ps3

I read VG247 because it’s right next to my Tranny Surprise bookmark (and because of the fantastic news coverage and sarcasm).

Superfrog: assuming you’re going in knowing it’s a tranny site, I’d be interested in knowing what the surprise is.

But I see where you’re coming from – it’s gratifying to know that VG247 is there in my bookmarks sandwiched neatly between my two favourite,and no doubt highly illegal, horror porn sites.

OrphanageExplosion: Just to be clear on this – of course I do not have a Tranny Surprise bookmark (and I not keen to learn what exactly the surprise is).

That website has become a running gag on boards like GAF because once there was a guy who somewhere posted a screenshot of his browser window revealing an unintentionally opened Tranny Surprise tab next to the highlighted main tab.

Why i read VG247?
Because you love games as much as we love them or maybe even more. No bullshitin, and clear objective form of writing – that’s why you are no. 1.
Survey done

Wow, great idea guys. Thanks for the chance.

I actually come to VG247, which was videogaming247.com before (love the shorter name), mainly because it gives me the news in gaming without all that extra stuff from n4g and other websites that seemed they are just concerned with hits.

Heck I didn’t even know this site was European until one of the writers mentioned games not coming out in their land on time with the US release.

The humor, straight facts, images associated with the news and blog updates, video feeds, comment updates, interviews and so much more is why I come here. It gives me what I’m looking for in gaming news. The contests aren’t even needed because this site is grounded into the idea of just reporting gaming news. To me that is really great journalism.

thank you VG247 and good luck to everyone.
