P2 – E – Gameplay

Grand Theft Auto V:

The gameplay in GTA is very diverse compared to other games as there are many different types of “gameplay” and many different interpretations of it. Firstly there is the Driving gameplay which is where the player is able to control: Automobiles, Tanks, Planes, Helicopters and boats this is one aspect of gameplay travelling and getting by. Also there is a section of gameplay called GTA Races where you race your friends in selected cars just like a normal racing game. The next type of game play is First Person Shooting or FPS. GTA V introduced an FPS update in 2014 which allowed the players to view out of the characters eyes while shooting driving walking etc. This is a change of play compared to the original 3^rd person playing mode and is easy to switch between each views which makes it dynamic and very easy for users to change their view points.

The next piece of gameplay is the Shooter gameplay. This when the player is using guns and other means of violence to kill people and destruct the world around them. There are many available guns for purchase in GTA ranging from pistols to rocket launchers. There is also a functioning money system in the game which is used to buy cars houses guns etc. it is the economy of the game and cannot function to its top potential without the players earning and spending money via the missions given.

The game is also completely sandbox which means the player can roam as any of the 3 characters whenever they want with no restrictions due to the game not being linear when you are not in a mission. This aspect makes it much more enjoyable and even though you could have completed the campaign you can still drive around etc. and perform he same activities as before rather than the game ending.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain:

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pains gameplay is also very immerse and has many different aspects just like GTA V. It is only a small aspect of the game but vehicles are used to drive around the games open world maps which is a 3^rd person camera view of the driving vehicle. They can be used destructively these vehicles such as tanks and horses having their own uses in the game.

The game also has a first person aspect which is used when looking through binoculars, rifle scopes and when crawling through enclosed spaces. It makes the game more immerse as you are looking through the characters eyes. The first person aspect cannot be used roaming around unless you are in combat.

The game has a combat aspect which gives the player the options of hand to hand combat, non-lethal ammunition and lethal ammunition. The game requires players to achieve their missions using stealth or by going in loud; it is solely the players choice to which option they choose.

The game also has hunting aspects such as hunting animals collecting plants and converting enemy soldiers to join your army. The soldiers and capture animals are transported to the army base where they can be viewed and interacted with. The base is a 2km wide establishment disguised as an oil rig.

Minecraft

Minecraft has quite a niche gameplay when compared to other games as it is such an original idea. One of the main game-playing aspects is survival. The player is challenged to survive in the randomly generated world full of different environments. Tools, supplies and shelter all has to be crafted from what the player has found in the world whether it be bricks, stairs, weapons, food etc.

The player has to watch out for enemies who come out during the night and try to destroy the built shelters or try to kill the character which results in the character losing all of their items and spawning as a new character.

It is quite a time consuming game and takes dedicated playing time to achieve certain things such as trying to find certain animals or resources resulting in endless playing time and no end point. People have the choice to survive in the world or go into creative mode and can use unlimited resources to create things such as structures, cities or anything whatever the player desires to do.

Call Of Duty Black Ops 2

This gameplay varies depending on what you want to do on the game. There is the choice between the linear story led campaign, Multiplayer either against AI or real people also playing the game too consisting of 10 different competitive game modes and finally the Zombies game mode where 4 friends battle against rounds of zombies to try and survive for as long as they can.

Call Of Duty is known for its fast paced gameplay style in all three aspects of the game and is casual/competitively played.

Firstly one of the game-playing aspects is the campaign. This is a single player experience where the player takes the role of David Mason and goes through a series of story led missions as well as various cut scenes. This campaign leads on from the previous title and this appeals to players who enjoy stories.

The second way this game can be played is through the online aspects which is a multiplayer game mode where the player is able to battle in 10+ game modes with either AI or other players using an internet connection. There are ranks which shows what level you are alive so that people can get ahead of others.

Finally the last aspect of the game is zombies which is completely different to the other two parts as it is against pure AI zombies not humans and the only end goal is to survive there is no way to complete missions like in the campaign and there is no ranking system also.
