Game Review (Unit 4)

Audio - The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim

For Audio i will be reviewing The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, Now this choice was obvious, with you playing as the legendary Dovahkiin (Dragonborn) the music perfectly matches the mood of the game, you feel like a destruction god as you take on the entirety of Whiterun, while the intense battle music plays in the background, it makes you feel completely unstoppable, or in moments when you're climbing a mountain,you can just stare off the top and feel amazing as the calm music makes you feel like an epic bad ass on a journey, or when you're down in the old ruins fighting your play through the druagr, the music in this game never disappoints and there's never a moment that you don't feel like an overpowered immortal bad ass that can murder a village with only his voice.

Visuals - God Of War

For Visuals i'll be reviewing God Of War, a game that won the most recent 2018 game of the year, with its intense and long story, this game when first revealed made fans extremely happy that the series was returning. Having been in development for 5 years, fans were definitely not disappointed in how well the game game out, having people wondering if this was the best graphically advanced game out to date, with how long the story was, every little area being extremely detailed, with the cost that some players weren't able to hit the 60fps point, but that didn't irritate anyone as the stunning graphics made up for it. Within the story you end up going to different worlds with different landscapes and completely different looks, the team at Santa Monica Studio (the devs of the game) must have some extremely talented people as every didn't place had the most amazing views, landscapes and graphics, with some areas being sunny, with flowers and lakes, and other ares being destroyed through war, gloomy and dark, and they nailed it, every scene being perfect

HCI (Human-Computer interaction) - Rocket League

Rocket League would be a great example to talk about HCI concerning the difference between PC and Console, but first lets star with the UI, its pretty simple with your boost displayed in the bottom right and the score displayed in the centre top, it's good they kept it simple, and it really worked with the game, and so they kept it like it was. Now control wise, this game is completely different playing with a keyboard and mouse than controller, on keyboard and mouse, you lose the ability to freely look around, and the controls are complete garbage, it's none in the pc gaming community and even people who hate controls use them when playing rocket league, with pc already having a disadvantage with only having WASD and so they dont have the best accuracy, there are no good keyboard layouts that make this gam easier to p[ay, now with consoles, the controllers have joysticks and so its way easier to turn and have better accuracy, along with having the perfect amount of buttons and having god-like controller layouts to make it way easier to play, it's safe to say Rocket League was made to be played with controllers.

Equality and Gender Representation within Games -

Now recently within the last couple of years, people have been trying to make games gender equal, now most of us can agree that this is fine, and probably a good thing, though the way some companies have gone about doing this is shocking, so first we'll be talking about Battlefield 5. Wow, ok, so this game got alot of hate from the community, EA Dice have set Battlefield 5 on a world war 2 era, now a little history lesson, during world war 2 woman weren't aloud to pick up a gun and go fight, so when EA Dice decide to make a a world war 2 game were not only woman are fighting, but to where the main character is a woman with some mechanical arm, the fans were very disappointing and angry, the reason to this is, the owner of the game had a daughter, and he said he didn't want him growing up in a world that is not equal, this was followed by a post that read, if you don't like the game and what's in the game, then don't buy it, along with the trailer being extremely disliked, battlefield 5 sales dropped by half and has gotten lots of hate.
