Task 2 – Storytelling within Genre’s

First Person Shooter (FPS)

Destiny is a First Person Shooter. This game is by Bungie and Activison the game involves MMO but its not a MMO like WOW and other games, Destiny involves lots of shooting and fighting, this  includes Missions,Side Missions, Raids, Strikes, Open worlds and PVP.

The main way that Destiny shows it story at the start was from the when the game begins you are told of a time before and where it was named the golden age of time, where the humans and now humanoids known as exo live together in peace until the darkness sends its armies of Vex,Hive,Fallen and cabal all these enemies having a specific area to be found.The story of all this is told by the cut scenes, missions, side mission to understand the Npc's, Enemies and more about the world, the stroy leads on through the next 3 Expansions with Dark Below, Crota The Son Of Oryx, Next it was about the Queen and then it goes towards the end game and things like the Raids and Strikes to earn loot and tell  more of the story.

Third Person Shooter (TPS)
Tomb Raider is a very high and spectacular game which takes place in many beautiful landscape with very high chances of death from traps,and environmental deaths and also from the enemy you will in counter on the way of your first tomb raid to find the secret of immortality. 
The game tells it story through walking through endless tombs, mountains and also on the way you can find artifacts that help you with the story and gives you a better understanding of the environments around you and what used to be around. 

Roleplaying Game (RPG)
A role playing game tells it story by you becoming  a character in a fantasy world or sci-fi world.
Destiny has a RPG aspect this is when you receive a quest line of a NPC and you have to for fill quests to earn Experience points and new items you can use to use in future battles, story lines and quests, the RPG side of destiny is set towards the quest lines and the way you upgrade your weapons which is the collection of materials to upgrade them to a higher level so they become more powerful as well as your character.
Also the weapon rarity classes of weapons the higher it goes more things become more exclusive to a certain weapon, this is shown in an Exotic weapon when a weapon is collected it has a specific to this weapon, an example of this the Gjallarhorn had wolf-pack rounds which was a cluster of small tracking projectiles that would follow after the additional rocket that has been shot.

Fighting
Mortal Kombat X story line is told by cinematic and then a fight of 2 characters who you are playing in a certain chapter and then you will fight someone who is stopping you to defeat and prevent Shinnok from returning to the Earth Realm. The way the story goes is that you have defeat the opposing fighter to progress the story you play the main character in a certain chapter of the games, altogether there is 12 parts so 6 different playable characters.
So the way the story is told mainly is through the cinematic cut scene before the fight 

Sport
Fifa's story is different from other games the way it is shown is you start at the lower of the league of your team you have picked, you would start at a cup like National League south all the way upto the Premier League, and you would have to beat teams in the season to progress up.
Also you can take different modes such a manager or actually play as a player in the match.

Strategy
War hammer:40,000 tells it's story as you battle against waves and encounters of enemies across the battlefield and with this the story is shown through you going across the solar system collection your leaders and uniting them before your final battle against your once brother turned evil.
The story is shown through multiple cut-scenes between battle to explain the situation of what is happening to tell you if the enemies are going to defend or attack on your location, the simple contorl of deploying troops in to battle and telling them to attack a certain platoon of enemies is key in the games way of war and completion of story.

Simulation
Sims is a simulator where you create a family and you live out a life that you create for them and you make a family and a home that you would like to live in and you control them and you simulate a life a family and life that you have created.
So with this simulator you create your own story instead of following one.
