GAMES WITHOUT STORYLINES

The are many games that do not have a supposed storyline. For example this may include Fifa 15, Football manager 2015, PES 2015, and more than likely any simulator or sports games. This is because the aim of the game is no to complete a story, its more to simulate whatever it is that, that game is aiming to simulate.

Fifa 15 - Simulates playing with real-life footballers on a game.

Football Manager 2015 - Simulates being a real-life football manager.

PES 2015 - Simulates playing with real-life footballers on a game.

Goat Simulator - Simulates being a goat.

GAMES VS BOOK/FILM

The story in a video game, has to be always thrilling, making the player want to carry on playing, rather than in films and books a little more description is added. Whereas games are pretty much straight to the point and action packed. Games can get away more with being more unrealistic than films because they are not using real-life characters, the characters are only generated.

LINEAR AND NON LINEAR

A linear storyline in a game is when the storyline is planned. For example however you play the game the resulting end is the same. For example Call of Duty has a linear storyline as there is nothing you can do to play it differently. A non-linear storyline
