Hello Steemians ... !!

For some time now I wanted to talk about what we like most about a video game, and since video games are a big part of my passion and I play a lot of course. Have I always wondered what is the most enjoyable aspect of a video game? Will it be the video game genre, the graphics, the story, the gameplay, the soundtrack or just your friends? Seeing another point of view why we like one game more than another? And why are there games that never get to like ?? I find something interesting because in each game there are many features that stand out more than others and thus to choose which game to buy. In the following text I will write of characteristics that many of us identify. On many occasions when we can only buy a video game, we find it very difficult to choose from so many amazing games on the market.

Firstly, talking about gender in many things is the first thing we look for in a video game according to our preferences, which comes in categories that are used to classify and organize video games according to their playability, such as gameplay, controls and the objective.

Example my favorite video game genres:

• Action games:

• First-person shooters, Rainbow Six Siege, Overwatch, Battlefield 1.
  -World open and third person: The division, World of Warcraft, GTA V.

  -Fighting games: Injustice, Tekken, Dragon ball.

• Simulation:
  -The Sims, Need for Speed, Forza Motorsport

According to the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) made up of companies such as NVIDIA, Microsoft, Sony, Disney, Konami, Epic Games, Electronic Arts, Warner Bros and others.

These are mine and tell me What is your favorite genre ?? What do you like?? You can write in the comments.

Many are more passionate about visual details than anything in video games, of course we are in an age where graphics are getting better and every detail speaks for itself. Many remember when they started video games with images of squares which is that moment did not matter because the most important thing at the time was to enjoy the game, currently we enjoy the best graphics engines of companies like: Source, Unreal Engine and developers like: Naughty Dog, Ubisoft, Dice, Epic Games, Blizzard Entertainment to name a few, of course not all is always as we want in the case of some developers who make a mistake that many gamers detest called "downgrade" is when the final result in the graphic aspect differs markedly from what was initially shown of a product in promotional stages.

I put this quote because I like what it says, because in many cases we first talk about the graphics and it is true why it is the first thing we see, but from my point of view we do not decide to a video game for its graphics.

"Wow, did you see what the new game of this or that company looks like?" How many times have you had that conversation with a friend and how many times with her did you mean the graphics and not the gameplay? Many, right? Aesthetics is very important because of its attractiveness and to help immersion, but ... Have we become only interested in graphics?

The gameplay is another important point for me, it reflects how we interact with the game, the mechanics of the game and the experience of the player. In short, the gameplay has to do with the design of the game whose mechanics are influenced in the game environment. In my case I have always liked that a video game is as real as possible in the movement aspect of characters or when interacting with others.

Nowadays video games are becoming more real since, as in the film industry are using techniques by means of the capture of movements, this makes that both the kinematics and the movement of the characters feel more real and, therefore, to deepen a character in a subtle way.

You can never miss in a video game that feeling of ambiance sound that immerses us in the history of a video game and in the strictest case to the lovers of soundtracks in what for them is the main. Mixing the music with the gameplay to get epic moments in a video game.

A great example is Far Cry 3 on the Burn ALL the weed mission with the music of Skrillex & Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley - Make It Bun Dem.

Of the current games is Battlefield 1, in its field missions are heard beautiful soundtracks and an amazing atmosphere.

Or something more classic.

In one of my favorite series another impressive example that the soundtrack gives a lot of brightness to either a character or a series.

Much is spoken about graphics vs history, in my perspective I guided more by the history of a video game, so to speak I like a good plot that involves me in a virtual world and that its feeling is as real as ours. A story that you never forget and that is so fascinating that you end up playing again and again.

A clear example is the twisted world of Wolfenstein, a game that I love because its story speaks of an alternate event where the Germans won the war and seized the planet with an impressive black humor that make the game a cinematic spectacle, a soldier of the American resistance William "BJ" Blazkowicz fights against the Führer's empire.

Another great game that takes us to a fantasy world is Dragon Age, I love this game first I love medieval stories more if there are dragons in it, wizards, blood wizards, dwarves, elves, tenebrous engagements, of course humans where always the goal is to defeat evil, in this case is to save the world. With incredible gameplay since it can handle 4 different characters, which makes it very entertaining.

I almost forgot to talk about a game with an impressive offensive power in graphics, kinematics and history. I speak of "Quantum Break" using real-life actors has led a plot that immerses you in the universe of physics traveling in the past, present and future. With actors like Shawn Ashmore, Dominic Monaghan and Aidan Gillen a well-known Thriller Game actor for his role of Petyr "Little Whiskey" Baelish.

Never say that a friend has not taken them to the dark side hahahahahaha, so to speak take them to play video games that have never caught your attention, liked, known, played and that friend recommended you because he likes it. Although many times we get carried away by our friends in video games also happens, you spend a lot of time playing with your friends and suddenly one of them tries a new game is told one by one, until they all end up buying the same game and so playing in a group or you can spend with your same partner end up sharing knowledge of their favorite games and exchanging ideas.

And something if I am right is that as people have never liked the idea of being alone is always said that gamer are not sociable and that is a lie, every gamer is sociable only in our own way and interests bone games interests .

Source

There is nothing better than playing with your friends first is easier, they help you and you also help them, second to complete missions, if you do not understand something help you and vice versa. To me in the main I have always liked to play with my friends and everyone knows what part they should do what turns out that the game is more interesting and fun.

To conclude, I hope you liked my post, I would appreciate your vote if you like me, I would also like you to comment on how you choose a video game, what motivates you ?, what do you like the most? How do they do when choosing a video game?
