Abstract

This research explores the use of computer graphics technology in video games and how it can enhance the user experience. Focusing on an in-depth understanding of the influence of computer graphics on video games, this research uses a case study approach to investigate this phenomenon. The population studied was 18-35 year old video game users who actively play games with high graphics. Data were collected through questionnaires, gameplay observation, and content analysis. The results showed that the use of more advanced computer graphics technology significantly enhanced the user experience in video games. More realistic graphics, impressive visual effects, and high detail make players more involved and engaged in the game world. High quality graphics are also positively related to the level of user satisfaction. These findings are in line with the literature which emphasizes the importance of good graphics in enhancing game appeal and user satisfaction.
