How a good plot saves the game

I spent many hours having fun with friends in the games of the Battlefield series. But you know what I remember most of these games, not epic battles on paraceles, not large -scale battles at the Caspian, falling skyscraper and not even juicy PVP on the metro map. Most of all I remember the short, but saturated plot company of the Fifth Batla "Last Tiger". Gameplayno to shoot bots and move along the given levels of the level, of course, it was less interesting than fighting in an online match against real players, but the plot component having reached its peak in the final forced me to experience me those emotions that would never give me more online battles.

It is unfortunate that many developers neglect the plot adding it only for a checkmark, because it is a well -written story that can affect the strings of the soul of the players and remain in their hearts forever.

But the idea of the importance of the plot in games came across the recent complete passage of Metro Exodus. This game is far from new, I bought it for a long time and for a couple of years, somewhere every half a year I gave her a chance to hook me. I passed the prologue, wandered a little on the Volga location and ... sent the game to the basket. In addition to the setting, the post of apocalyptic scoop transmitted by pleasant graphony did not catch me in it. I do not want to criticize this game now, its gameplay did not go to me exclusively by many persons of my subjective criteria. But recently I started her again and tried to score on the mechanics of the game and penetrate the plot. Carefully listening to all the dialogs, reading notes and studying audio diaries that I found slowly imbued with history. And after the Volga’s location in the head of the spring, where I wandered around the train for an hour and talked with the satellites of the protagonist, I realized that I was completely immersed in this game.

I was wildly interested in what would happen next and how this story would end for each of them. As a result, I went through the whole game in the chopping room, and then two dls. There are a lot of positive emotions from the game. But you know what is the most interesting? Even after complete passage, those reasons why I did not like the game initially not gone anywhere. The whole game I was still not enthusiastic about shooting, primitive stealth, craft and other mechanics. But this time, an exciting story fell on another hour of scales, the plot of which grabbed me and did not let go to the very end. And even despite the graphomaniac dialogs that would clearly suit the book than for such a form of narrative as a computer game.

Despite all this, the plot was exciting. And for me noaccount-casinos.co.uk personally, he saved this game. Not just saved, but left her forever in my heart.

I received exactly opposite sensations passing the fifth far crry. What juicy gameplay in this game!

I went through it all and after many hours I had fun in the open world simply because it was playing cool. Gameplay and setting took out this game for me, but here is the plot ... Having such incredibly colorful antagonists, colorful networks of the American captage, a cool tie ... Jubisoft could not build an exciting and intriguing plot story. Yes, in places, interesting dialogs were found, adult topics were touched upon, the developers tried to show the gloom of the events taking place in the game, but intentionally or not, as a result they made a funny amusement park for a gamer, the plot of which at a moment immersing you in the seriousness of history, immediately got it back and threw tons of funny content killing the entire depth of the story.

Of course, these are all my subjective judgments and perhaps one of you objects to say that a serious plot would have killed a cheerful gameplay and the developers simply chose one thing. But I want to tell you that it is not necessary to choose. In the game industry there are examples where these two components of the game are perfectly combined. And the most striking example will be one of my favorite games 5.

Rockstar perfectly knows how to combine an explosive, cheerful and reckless gameplay with a truly adult, intriguing and thoughtful story. The plot company GTA 5 is an excellent example. The whole gameplay cheerful that occur with you during missions is motivated by a well -prescribed plot. Go away from the chase on a jet ski, along the channels of Los Santos is fun, but you do it plot reasonably. Taking a daughter from a yacht porn actors. Gathered for a robbery, another fun, but again the plot component will help you immerse it as much as possible. Aliens set up experiments on you, and after you fly in some underpants over the city ... crazy garbage, but again.. Everything fits very competently into the plot, just shortly before that your son, the moron, drove you with tranquilizers and threw you out of the car simultaneously explaining that he withdrew the money from your account and moves away from you. Yes, what to talk about, in this game one of the heroes even has your own personal psychologist visiting which you can go even more into the character’s problems. An adult and exciting story story, harmoniously intertwined with a crazy and cheerful gameplay made this game truly amazing.

But back to Jubisoft again, and more specifically to Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. This is a game with an incredibly big and beautiful world. Many regions, unique underwater locations, sea battles, quite a pleasant fighting and tolerable pumping. But having all these advantages, this game is even close to the top of the third witcher. And the fault of everything is poorly designed, the most important plot. Add a cool story to the Odyssey, turn all the additional quests from routine grind into exciting and intriguing adventures. And it would be a great game. But, unfortunately, Jubisoft does not want to bother with this, and perhaps they just have a different vision of a good game. But most likely the first, because one day they got confused and released, in my opinion, their best game - Valiant Hearts.

Be sure to go through this game if you have never played it. This is truly a masterpiece work, according to which a gamma of emotions will swing you. Perhaps this is the best example to show the value of the plot in computer games.

But if, in the previously given examples, an exciting story decorated projects, that is, genres in which the plot is the basis of the game. I'm talking about the so -called interactive movie now. Games of the Walking Dead series, incredible Fahrenheit, The Wolf Among Us, Heavy Rain, and my favorite game from this Detroit: Become Human list. There are no words to describe how much I am enthusiastic about this game. Just look at these possible variations of events. Dozens of variations in the development of events. Each of your action, every choice in this game affects the global plot. Phrase - how this story will end only on you, has never been so relevant.

Games have long turned from ordinary gameplay entertainment into real, adult arts that even modern cinema will envy. The main difference is that you do not look at the story from the outside, you influence it and live it with your hero.
