task 8 week 8

I think that computer games should have a great strong storyline otherwise you wouldn’t understand what’s going on and you wouldn’t have cool cinematics because that normally helps start off a storyline. An example of a beginning cinematic would be Onimusha 3, I love this game! Even when I watch the beginning it still amazes me.
The scene involves a character named Samanosuke, who takes down a demon army warmachine (and army!) using his magical weapons and ogre powers to blow the army to pieces also it stars Jean Reno (Leon, Godzilla, Ronin) who is a French cop which is given powers to help Samanosuke on his quest to destroy the demon empire. What I love about that game also is its puzzles and gameplay, button bashing won’t work unless you’re fighting monsters.

In a way I think that the storyline follows your character because the storyline is usually follows around the main character of the game which would normally be you. Like for example, all the Lara Croft Tomb raider games follow a direct path which you have to steer your character through it to complete the game. But in some games you can choose your own path, like become good or evil an example of this would be Star Wars: Jedi Knight Series where if you killed innocents you would in the end become evil or if you saved them you would become a good Jedi. Another example of this would be Fable 1 and 2 with the whole “good and evil” plot.

World of Warcraft has a huge story base in each of its expansions and is the follow up story from the Warcraft RTS series which is about an ongoing fight between the Orcs and humans until the Burning Legion come and try to kill everyone which ends up having everyone against the legion. The story does follow a certain character named Arthas which is a human prince sworn to protect his king, until one day he is driven mad by the demon sword known as Frostmourne. He betrays and kills his farther and friends and becomes the Lich king of the burning legion and is the final boss you have to fight in the new expansion called The Wrath of the Lich King. If you haven’t noticed I had to shorten the storyline otherwise id still be writing this after Christmas haha! I mean WoW has its own Wikipedia!!! www.wowwiki.com
