Final Project – The Video Game GOAT

Due December 10th, 2024

This project ties together everything we have discussed throughout the course into one project where you will make an argument for what is the greatest game of all time. Tell me about your GOAT’d game:

•   What game is it and when did it release? How was it received critically?

•   What makes it the GOAT in your opinion?

•   How was the game advertised and what do you find interesting about it? Was the advertising effective?

•   Talk about the game’s aesthetics; how are rules enforced in the game, how would describe the geography and representation, how many players is the game

designed for, and is there anything else you would like to add?

•   What communities have emerged around this game? Do they have any reputation as a community? Is there a competitive scene to this game (i.e. speed runs, tournaments, etc.)?

•   Does this game have a narrative? If so, describe the narrative, if not how is the gamespace setup to promote gameplay without a narrative?

Write 5-6 pages, 12-point Times New Roman, double-spaced, and if needed a bibliography in APA format for your sources. Please note that titles, headers, extra spaces between paragraphs, etc., do not count towards the page total. You can and should draw from your previous assignments where you can, but do not copy them verbatim. We will discuss this further in class, but feel free to contact me via e-mail for any questions.

OPTIONAL EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY: if you would like to earn as many as 3 points onto your final course grade (not the project grade) you can make a 4–5-minute video accompanying your paper. You do not need to be on camera in it, but you will need some sort of presentation (PowerPoint, Google Slides, Prezi, etc.) or captured game play of you playing the game along with you either narrating the game play or presenting the slides. I can briefly go over how to capture game play with you if do not know how, but feel free to follow up if you still have questions. Points will be awarded at my discretion and commensurate with the amount of effort put into the presentation.
