ok, in my first entry I stated that I like sum video games because of the competition involved. now here's my second reason

-Storylines-

ok, for a game to be good it has to have a good story line...unless its one of thsoe competetive games that on one even pays attention to the story mode...if there is one. Ok, I really enjoy reading books and when I find a good, its really hard to put down. I spend day and nite reading it until its finished, then when its done...I'm dissappointed that there's no more to read. I then speent a few days thinking over the book - like wut's gonna happen next, wut if I was in the book, wut if the real world was like this book. Books lead to thought...which is always good to do...lol. I just wish sum of my friends did it more often. ok, jsut as a book makes me think, so does a good video game thathas a good story line. the storyline is wut pulls u in and keeps u playing. Its not always the action or the blood gushing special effects that make u go back to the game after yur done with dinner...its the curiosity of "wut's gonna happen next?" I eman, theres alot of games out there that dont even have a storyline...or even characters, like Tetris, but its still a colt hit. But that brings me back to the competition part...but this time its a player trying to beat themselves and get a higher score than before...or if u got 2 palyers, then its jsut good ol' fashioned use up all your quarters arcade style competition. but I'm gettin off track, I'm talkin about storylines, which is essential for games that dont have the button mashing, simple ideology that arcade quarter slot game like pacman or even MArvel vs Capsom has...even though some of those games actually require strategy. Well all games require strategy...but there are so many types of strategy, but I wont get into them agaiun caus eI am again going off topic.

ok, back to storylines. any game that doesnt have the simplicty and competitive spirit like pacman has has to have a good storyline. one of my favoite games ahs to be Resident evil. there are loads of zombie games out...all the same - find a gun and then blow a zombies brain out and then find a key for sum door. but wuts makes resident evil good is that the soty line draws u in and makes u feel liek your actually in the world...in this case, the zombie and monster infested streets of Racoon City...or where ever else the series takes place. Video games have the same concept as a book...but when u add a console and a controller, u get to control wut happens in the game, kinda liek those choose yur own destination horror books...but way better. I mean, if there wasnt a story lien then it would be just you runnin around shootin endless zombies...kinda like a retarded version of House of the Dead. and that would be jsut boring. Storylines, characters, backround stories, they all amke a game better...well in my opinion. if a game doesnt have a good storyline, it had better have a helluva graphics engine and whole lotta competitive style game play or its gonna be a horrible game.

well there's my 2 cents.

well now that Ive used this gamespot journal, I actually found out I like it. ita a good place to express ones feelings...plus I might get a level up cause I used it...lol

ok, wut to write into this gamespot jorunal thing so I can raise my level...but is that the only reason I'm gonna write stuff in here?

ok, to start off, I really enjoy playing video games, but why? I hardly own that many games..and of now, all I got is a gamecube to play. I rent games sumtimes, and sumtimes buy em, but why do I liek em? There's 2 main reasons I like em. first off, I like competition. any where I go I always try to compete with sumone in sumthin...but I'm not ona those people who goes crazy and'll wrestle an old lady just to win a shiny trophey (and to some people, the only reason they want it is because its shiny..lol) I always try to keep everything fair...and sumtimes I even let people win jsut so they wont complain...or even cry. soo...the kinda competitive games I enjoy would have to be sports games like Madden football, ESPN MLB, NBA live, and1 streetball, and a few others. I also enjoy fighting games like super smash brothers or tekken. and my favortie competitive games are war games. I cant egt enough of working with a team of others to take down an enemy group. dodging bullets, sneaking in bushes, aiming then blowing off sumones head...it has to be one of the funnest things to do...plsu tis great for letting off unwanted anger. I guess thats why I'm such a nice person most of the time..most of the time.I like CS, MoH, BFV, alittle of Halo...but my favorite war game right now is SoF2. Ive played soldier of fortune since the first one and It was the first online multiplayer game I had ever played...and Its still my favorite game to play online on ym comp. now that's all there is behind my liking to competitive games now on to my second reason...storylines........which I will put into a second entry.
