I chose the game Persona 5 once again. Persona 5 is a JRPG/Social Simulator developed by Atlus and released in 2016. The game takes place in Tokyo Japan and is split into two segments, the Overworld and the Metaverse. In Persona 5 you play as an average looking high school student who leads a double life. In the real world he is a typical teenager. However in the “shadow dimension” or Metaverse he is the leader of the Phantom Thieves, a group of vigilantes who target the minds of corrupt adults and get them to have a change of heart by defeating their shadow versions in the Metaverse. In the mornings the player goes to school and in the afternoons they have two choices, hang out in the overworld or travel to the metaverse. The player must balance these two segments to excel in the game.
School:
In the mornings the protagonist usually goes to class. During the classroom segments the teacher will ask the player various questions that they must answer. Answer correctly and the player is rewarded with Knowledge points but guess wrong and they will be mocked by the other students and miss out on obtaining points for their Social Stats (Charm, Guts, Proficiency, Knowledge, and Kindness.)
Overworld:
All the Social Simulator aspects of the game can be found in the Overworld. Here the player is allowed to explore different locations throughout the city like parks, shopping districts, and landmarks. The player can participate in everyday student activities like studying, spending time with friends, watching movies, shopping, working out, etc. Completing tasks in the Overworld can greatly aid the player in the Metaverse. For example going to the gym will expand the player’s Health and Special Points. Certain activities here also reward Social Points which are required to unlock certain characters and skills.
Metaverse:
This is where the main JRPG action happens. The Metaverse is shown as a corrupt version of certain real world locations from the game. Here the player and their team traverse through different palaces/dungeons, fight enemies in a turn based style, and defeat each palace ruler to progress through the story.
I made my three character designs and I will call Little Robo because I like some future stuff. I designed Three characters from smaller to bigger. The first one has 8 bits of pixels. The second one was made some improvements like adding more colors and shadows. Also, the head had changed. The third one has much better because it has 16 bits like the definition of SNES. Just like the pixel had been involved in the new generation.
Dying Light is one of my favorite games to play on PlayStation 4. It was published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and developed by Techland, released on January 27, 2015. Dying Light is an open-world survival/horror and action adventure game played from the first person perspective.
Goals
The story centers around a viral zombie outbreak in the city of Harran, whereas a man named Kyle Crane, an undercover GRE operative, was sent on a mission to infiltrate the quarantine zone and to locate a man by the name of Rais. Then, he becomes faced with the decision on whether to save all survivors or seeing his mission through.
Obstacles that are faced while playing
While playing as Crane, players are faced with having to kill zombies and human enemies. When nighttime hits, players will have to use Crane’s “Survivor Sense” to avoid detection by the infected. If the players is right within the infected zombie’s vicinity, the infected senses will trigger and start attacking players. A colossal group of zombies will be drawn to loud noises that are scattered across the city, so players will have to run, arm traps to reduce the number of zombies, or stay on the rooftops.
Rewards that are earned
Players are given a wide variety of options to choose from. They can kill zombies and search the bodies for money, items to craft new weapons, or valuables (cigarettes, pouches, money, etc.) that they can sell to earn more money. Chests, lockers and doors are scattered throughout the city. While some can easily be opened, others will require a lockpick. When players take on side quests, continue with the main story, claim air drop supplies, or save random survivors, they will be rewarded with new weapons, money, weapon blueprints, or exp. points for their character’s level and attributes.
I chose one of my favorite games, Persona 5 developed by Atlus. Persona 5 is a JRPG/Social Simulator with elements of dungeon crawling. It was released in Japan in September 2016 and worldwide in April 2017 and is available for PS3 and PS4.
The dungeons or “Palaces” that the player infiltrates in Persona 5 are filled with “Shadows”. These enemies are the obstacles of the game and they must be defeated to level up and progress through the game.
The goal in each Palace is to traverse through its many levels and locate the treasure room. Upon reaching the treasure room the player will encounter the Shadow of the Palace Ruler as the final boss and must defeat them.
Drops from enemies such as items, experience points, and money are the most common rewards in the game. The game also rewards the player for exploring every corner of the Palace. Rare items, treasures and weapons are hidden throughout the Palace, but it is up to the player to locate and unlock them.
