Videogames: An introduction

1)The first video games had very bad graphics and they were only button pressing games on old computers.

2)Over time the graphics in video games have become better and they are now a lot more interactive and have actual stories and context.

3)All of the most successful games have context, stories and are mostly interactive although there is also quite a lot of interest in death. They also have amazing narratives.

4)Adults accuse video games of persuading young kids to commit violence and crimes as they have seen in games. However, this is entirely incorrect in my opinion as many people who play video games have no urge to suddenly commit crimes and violence.

5) Fortnite is an online game where around 100 players jump out of a plane on to a small island and then fight each other until only one is left. Players can find various different weapons around the island to use to fight with including: crossbows, rifles and grenade launchers.

6)There are more than 4oM players worldwide.

7) Fortnite is popular because it is quite unique in terms of narrative and because it is very interactive.

A fantastic game for all the family. The violence is cartoon-like, not gratuitous or graphic. I limit my children to only playing the Playstation at the weekends. Simple." I disagree with this comment as i do not believe that it is a game that all the family will enjoy as not all adults would agree with the violence or context of the game.

If kids are influenced to act violently all they have to do is watch WW2 on the History Channel, learn about King Henry VIII's wives or just watch the news." I agree with this comment as i believe that adults often misconstrue the idea of influenced violence as not many teens suddenly believe they should fight because of a game they played and if this were true they would be swayed by any violent or 12+ movie they watch, people are not that naive.
