Watch Dogs Legion

 



Watch Dogs Legion


Watch dogs Legion is an ambitious game that has discarded the idea of playing as a "main character' and has replaced that idea with a system where you can recruit any person, regardless of who they are in to your "team". This idea sounds a bit chaotic but it does an overall job of giving a player the option of finding someone that they prefer to play, the options are reflective of the types of people you can see in society, Old, young, male, female? that is just the base of it as there are so many more options, old crazy cat lady? you got it. 




 Of course this has its drawbacks, as it is an awesome idea to play as anyone, the developers can't possibly fully flesh out and develop every citizen you can find in a living a breathing city compared to a single well focused character. But it does do its best to attempt this enormous feat and allow for every character to have some form of backstory, and development such as the occupation they work, the clothes they wear and dialogue respective of who that character is. Even with all the effort that the developers have put into this game to represent diversity of cultures, ethnicities, and personal styles, they missed body types related to weight. Is Watch Dogs demonstrating how things can be in the future when technology advances? or is this a style that should be avoided?

    This sounds like a very interesting video game. I think the idea of recruiting people sounds really fun and different. It seems like there would be a lot of freedom in a game like this which is the kind of video game I like. I like when it is not so fast paced and you can sort of do what you want. I think it is cool that they have so many options for the different ethnicities instead of just the one white guy main character

For The King (tabletop games)

  For The King      This week we talked about several different types of Tabletop games. An interesting video game was made called For The King which is essentially capturing a tabletop game experience, however in a videogame form.    The player starts off by creating their character, they can change their appearance and class. The options for appearance are fairly limited, but its enough to give the player a couple of options. The classes however are fairly expansive, the player starts off with 4 classes to choose from but can unlock up to 13 classes. The goal of the game is up to three adventures go out in the world, clear temples, buy items and weapons and eventually defeat a world ending boss. For example in one of the "boards" the final boss is this lovely creature.  The players will have to prepare and work together to better themselves to face him though and.... He hits and Tanks like a world ending boss, so defeating him is no easy task... hell even a random encounter

Legends Of Runeterra

 Legends of Runeterra   Legends of Runeterra is a card game that is based off the lore surrounding the game "League of Legends" League of Legends released on October 27th 2009 and since became the most played video game globally and over the last decade has expanded and changed the competitive e-sports scene, but over the years it also developed pages and pages of lore developing regions, cultures, characters, etc till it eventually became a very richly built world. The reason I came to look at this game is it has inspired me to look at a way of adapting even more of the lore that the writers have created into gameplay. The first ever game that was not based on league was this game "legends of Runeterra" which is a card game using characters from the league of legends universe to battle each other, albeit none of the events would be cannon it creates some cool scenarios as each card has voice lines, and some of the champions when they reach certain conditions go thr
