Fortnite and Why It’s Hurting the Gaming Industry
Hello everyone! My name is David Enriquez and this is my first post on Vocal! I saw about this site and figured “hmmm... a way to get paid to write about anything, let’s do it!” Anyway, I want to and my dream is to start a podcast. I have gone over it with my friends and we just haven’t gotten around to it. So, hopefully that’s in the works, but right now I want to talk about something important to me. I have been a avid gamer since I can remember. I used to wake up every Friday morning so excited to play my Sega Genesis, PlayStation, and my PlayStation 2 to feed my undoubtable urges to kill, race, or beat any opponents in any game. From simple baseball games, to Jack and Daxter, and my discovery of Madden, which changed my life forever. What I’m saying is I’ve been around the block of gaming. Now, as I get older and make way for the days of the Xbox, I make a new discovery, one that would change the landscape of my gaming life and would, ultimately, make me want a career in the industry: I played Halo for the first time and it was something I hadn’t experienced ever before. It drove me to be the best because it was the hardest game out there at the time. And with Xbox Live, getting killed by some 30 year old living with his mom and dad didn’t sit right with me, even though I was not old enough to even comprehend the thought of competition. So as time passes the games get harder and harder, I go off to play college baseball at Huston-Tillotson University and sort of forget about gaming, until about one year ago, when this new game came out for free on Xbox One (or more known to me as the Xbone). Fortnite: Battle Royale came out and at first it seemed to me it was one of those odd free-to-play games that nobody would play because, let’s be honest, all the free to play games are totally unbearable—so unbearable that I didn’t even take the time to mention any of them. So I paid it no attention and continued on my quest to be noticed by esports teams for Halo 5... then I noticed a trend change. Everyone is talking about this game. EVERYONE. Celebrities, sports athletes, actors, YouTubers, and every normal Joe walking the street is talking about this game. So I caved and downloaded it and played it. At first I was skeptical. The kid-like graphics and silly art style of the game clearly meant this game was going to be attacked by the like of my two little brothers who are 10 and seven, respectively. And sure enough it was. I didn’t understand the building concept. I honestly didn’t want to. I grew up with Halo, dabbled with my fair share of Call of Duty, and was still one of the few people who is still a fan of Medal of Honor. I don’t want to build I want to kill kill kill. But growing up with a competitive mindset, I had to get better. I had to. The Battle Royale mode is not a new concept. Twisted Metal did it back in the day with its free-for-all, car destroying mayhem that I miss to this day, but Fortnite seemed to bring it to the masses with its art style and it has drawn out some of the craziest people I’ve ever seen. So I get better and better and start winning, but I notice something odd in the gaming industry, and I mean let’s face it, it happens all the time, to find that next trend and next big thing to make the most money. Games used to be made because people wanted to tell great stories and make these games because it’s a art form. Now it’s about the dolla dolla bills y’all.

What Does the Future Hold for 'Assassin's Creed?'
Let me start by saying I am a massive fan of the Assassin's Creed series and have been ever since the first one. But as has already been said many, many, many times before, the series was on somewhat of a downward spiral for a good few years. With yearly releases that were either unfinished or felt like a re-release of the previous year's installment many fans, myself included, started to feel that the series was running out of steam. That's aside from Ubisoft's by-now-it-must-actually-be-trademarked-go-to-open-world formula, which is still pretty prevalent even in Origins, the game that was widely heralded as a return to glory for the series.

Just What Makes 'Mortal Kombat' so Special?
Back in 1992, Mortal Kombat hit the scene so hard it straight up decapitated it and ensured that Kombat with a K would be remembered forever. That's not to say the series is without some serious missteps, but unlike Sonic the Hedgehog, there's no question as to why Mortal Kombat has endured to this day. As co-creator, John Tobias, once said, “It'll be around 50 years from now.” Tobias might not be attached to the property any more, but he's still right. If you'll stay and read a moment, I'd like to outline just what makes this bloody game so bloody special.
