Contextual studies, chosen games and there story plots

We were told to choose games that we know and place them into the right stories plot categories.

Here are my games listings, and what I think is the right story plots for them games.

Kingdom hearts


 Overcoming evil/ monsters

In the game Kingdom hearts you play as "Sora" who is the protagonist, he has to fight many evil forces in his quest to find home and his lost friends. Many of the monsters you fight in this game are called "Heartless". The more you fight through the story it leads to the end boss battles in each the worlds you travel to. The image above is a good reputation of one of the best battles in the game. As you can see there are many evil forces to take down. 


Fable 2


 Rags to riches 

In the game fable 2 you start off as a child character called "Sparrow" Who is a child that is very poor and lives on the streets. The image above shows the character in that world. As you progress throughout the game and travel on your adventures you become more powerful as you grow to an adult. As the story comes more to an end the character Sparrow becomes a king/queen. The character gains power, wealth, a home, (Many even) and a family if you wish. 

The Witcher 3



The Quest 

In the game The Witcher 3 You set off on many quests. There are main quests to secondly quests that you can complete in the game, both leading to different objectives. "Geralt" is the protagonist that you play as, he is very powerful witcher. The more quests that Geralt can do he will comes across many more evil forces and friendly companions to help him in some of his many quests. The more quests he does the stronger he will become.

The legend of zelda: The wind waker



Voyage and return

In the game The legend of Zelda: The wind waker, you start of in your homeland. The princess called "Zelda" gets kidnapped by a evil force. The objective of this game is that the character that you play as that is called "Link" travels across the seas on his boat and to many islands along the way and bring Zelda home. Along the way Link comes across many characters and other evil beings that you need to take down on your path. 

Octodad





Comedy

In this game Octodad, you are a octopus that has a family. The game is very silly. Octodad is a third-person adventure game. In the game you can be destructive, as the control of the character limbs are hard to navigate as the controls are designed this way causing the character to mess the room with objects that have fallen etc.. there is not much to this game as it is just a comical game, a game for laughs. 

Life is strange



Tragedies

In the game Life is strange you play the protagonist "Max" she has the power to rewind time, but this leaves destruction in its path. Max has a best friend called "Chloe" but her friend Chloe doesn't have much luck and gets into dangerous situations that causes Chloe to die each time. Max tries to stop this from happening, so she goes back in time to prevent this happening again, Each time she does she causes destruction in the other timelines, which then causes a massive storm that is heading for the characters hometown. Max has to decide, does she sacrifice the town and the people in it, or sacrifice her best friend Chloe who she has tried endless times to save. Both endings are tragic.


GTA 5



Rebirth

In this game Gta 5 there is a character called "Michael" who is a criminal that has killed people, robbed banks etc...he also has a family. I know this is a strange game to choose for the rebirth story plot but I find in some way it relates, mainly because of the character Michael. I think this because for most of his life he has been a bad person causing death, crime and telling lies, but throughout the whole game he is seeking help from a therapist, it shows he wants to change, to become a better person, even if it is for his family to be a better husband and father. At the end of the game the three main characters say there farewells and part after the main mission has been completed. Michael retires from his crime days and tries to be the best husband and father he can be.
