\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Fortnite<\/em> is my console game of choice for two reasons: the objective of the game and the inclusivity of the game characters. \u00a0The objective of the game is to be the last man, duo, or squad standing, depending on the game mode you choose to play.\u00a0 Fortnite<\/em> is revitalizing the late night gaming culture that was prominent when Call of Duty<\/em> was first released.\u00a0 Groups of friends may stay up until the early morning hours simply entranced with this game, a tradition that has seemed to die in recent years.\u00a0 A big contributor to this revamp is the idea of the world versus you- or the world versus you and your crew- much like Call of Duty<\/em>.\u00a0 Along with the objective of last man standing, a key contributor toward achieving this is through building forts to gain both a protective advantage as well as a visual advantage over your opponent.\u00a0 You gain the resources, as well as the weapons, by exploring different locations and discovering items that are laying around.\u00a0 This game, thanks to its overall objective, plays into the four types of gamers that we discussed as a class the first day of school.\u00a0 The \u201cspades\u201d have the ability to player kill, the \u201cclubs\u201d have the fort building\/exploration aspect, the \u201chearts\u201d have to communicative component to the game, and the \u201cdiamond\u201d players have the overall objective of being the last person standing.<\/p>\n

The other reason why I chose Fortnite <\/em>is because of the inclusivity of the in-game characters.\u00a0 For the game, your character is randomly chosen for you and the characters include a variety of races as well as both female and male options.\u00a0 With how inclusive society has become, this game perfectly accommodates a highly demanded societal request.\u00a0 This inclusivity also, in my opinion, creates a wider range of fans of the game itself.<\/p>\n
