Without a character there is no narrative. Well that's how i see it. While the narrative is going on you will want to know more about the characters and what they have in connection with the narrative. Characters are created to promote a certain game.. to catch a certain gamers eye. This all comes down to target audience. Gamers are all about their characters, their characters features and any sort of skills. So all in all it depends on who the person is to match what kind of character and also what kind of game.
The game in which i am choosing with a strong protagonist is Tomb raider. Let us start off with who the protagonist of this game actually is. The protagonist is Lara Croft who plays as third person perspective. Her role in the game is to battle through her way in this deserted island full of uneasy creatures and dead people as her ship has been wrecked and she has been left on her own. The main task is for her to survive through all the obstacle that may get in her way through the exploration. Now going onto the characterisation. In this game i believe that using a woman was a strong point, many people may have thought a woman? for a survival game? Believe it or not, by using a woman to play as the protagonist it has increased the sales of the game overall. Besides the business side of all things the game has attracted more woman to play the game too as nowadays all we see in games is men having to go through all the battles, it was nice to have a change for once. Lara is also this strong, brave woman who is intelligent enough to fight her way through. This also shows people that it is not always men who have the power, woman have also got the mind and body strength to battle their way through.
One of the antagonists i have chosen to talk about is featured in the game Metal gear solid 3 and is known by the name of 'The Boss'. I know not the most creative of names but trust me, once you play it you will realise as to why he is called that. The boss will take it easy on u at first but then she stops playing nice with naked snake even though that is her former lover. As you continue on in the game you will realise that the boss is one of the best soldiers who has ever lived, she is one that even her enemies respected. Once you come closer to the end of the game, you will realise that she is probably one of the most honourable opponents you will ever face.
What is backstory? Well it is pretty simple to figure out, it is the story before the actual game starts. It gives you a slight overview of what the game is about and what your main objective is throughout and answers your questions as to what is going on. One of the games that i have played with a backstory is very recent and is GTA5. In the beginning of the film you are introduced to 3 characters who are robbing a bank. After accomplishing this, they then go onto making a runner. As they are doing this the police have surrounded them off and they are trapped, with everything at a blur one of the characters gets shot, but who? Character trevor believes that it is good friend Michael who gets shot and dies when really it is not, leaving you to unveil the truth yourself. When i first played this it had bought masses of excitement into me that i just wanted to play and find out more, the way they have explained and portrayed everything to the gamer is as if it as a movie or even real life based. Moving onto the next game that i will be talking about is double dragon which is a fairly old game. As kids we probably thought they were just two brothers who wander the streets of new york looking for people to beat up, but what we did not know was that the game was actually meant to be taking place in the post apocalypse, and Billy and Jimmy are not just two brothers, they are supposed to be two martial arts masters! who are protecting a sacred and secret style. Finding out the backstory for this game bought a whole load of thinking to my head but gave the game a slight more interest.
