What are some of the worst stories you've seen in vidya? I'm still upset at the plot twist in pic related. It was one of the only times I quit playing a game just because of how bad the story was.

Most vidya stories aren't really that good or at least it's very simple, I find it's the execution that really matters. Although something that made me legit lose interest in the game was the AvP RTS, it was walls of text and the last maps were just a grind where you blob to win.

Automata was the first yoko taro game for a lot of people, so the shock value was fresh even though it's by far the weakest story wise. The bunker's destruction was all well and good, but ultimately everything's just pointless for the sake of being pointless.

the entire point of the game is for sora to get the "power of waking" witch he doesn't get by the end making the entire thing mostly pointless and also introduces time travel elements to further over complicate the plot, not to mention it also undermines KH2 because now for some reason when nobodies die they come back as real people? like what the fuck that was the main villains entire motivation in 2….

I have to talk about JC a bit, because every game has the same BLAND as fuck "Evil dictator you must defeat" as the story has really nothing to tell, except for some mission details you might want to know about. However, in this case, it really doesn't matter because for what it lacks in story, it makes up for it in every way and form in the gameplay. The movement, the guns, the vehicles, the fuckhuge map and the missions.

Especially JC2, the game is fun as fuck if you like gunplay and explosions. Don't bother with 3 and 4, they both are more empty and have debungo.

JC3 has its merits, explosions are bigger and cooler, there's a lot more neat gadgets, but the map is much more bland and wingsuit made cars and planes pretty much obsolete.

Haven't played JC4, but apparently it's dogshit, destroying shit and making explosions isn't even the focus of the game anymore. I really wish whey got on the remaster bandwagon and just made JC5 just upgraded JC2. I guess if you like fucking around with boosters and balloons it's cool, but that's not my kind of thing.

I can normally tune out the stories in games. The only ones that come to mind that made me stop playing entirely were Warcraft 3 culling Stratholme and more recently the new WoW expansion strong woman edition.

I'm old enough I've seen every story a hundred times and never cared about them in games. Now everything is just a corrupted gender race swap version like fucking bizarro world. It finally occured to me why anime is so popular; it's white and only white people.

That's the setup for the question, yes in their world all they did and lived was pointless, which leads to different characters reacting in different ways and if you aren't brain dead so it doesn't apply to you you'd ask what would you do in such a scenario, how would you give your existence meaning? why and how to continue to exist? etc

My problems with this story is mainly it could have been so much better, The first one's story wasn't anything spectacular, but it was good when it counted and was satisfying by the end.

Shadow Warrior 2's some how managed to make it seem like everything you worked for in the previous game was for absolutely nothing, The God killing sword you spent a whole game obtaining only get's mentioned in a side mission where it is destroyed and turned into an absolute useless peace of gear.

The goddess you spent a whole game working toward the goal of saving who's brother, your friend died to save her, has a relationship and brakes up with you entirely off screen between games, she's also a huge slut, and she betrays you.

But the explanation is the realms are out of wack and are messing with her or some shit, which is why her personality doesn't make any fuck sense apparently.

There is also the girl who's spirit your forced to have inside your body the entire game so she can have banter with you, and their clearly trying to intimate the dynamic you had with your friend from the previous game, but the girl has no fucking charisma, whatsoever.

The first one still had the mandatory Wang jokes and humor like that, but it felt like it still knew when to be classy when the story called for it,

2nd one I don't know what the hell happened, it's like the guy who had the main vision for the world and story didn't work on the game at all, and everyone else is trying and failing to copy what he did.

You could MAYBE make a correlation with Drackengard on the whole "gods have decided humanity needs to die" but even that's a stretch. No, in reality you're just a fucking idiot that is probably the same guy sperging about how Geralt of Rivia is totally a ripoff of Elric of Melniborne guys because they're both white haired cucks that fight with swords.

Nier admittedly does try to be too dramatic too soon, and comes off as pretty melodramatic early on. After the characters have actually grown somewhat and had time to interact it gets a lot less cringy. I suspect Taro had more of the writing to himself on Nier, and he's admitted to writing the scripts while drunk. So while he produces some really good shit he certainly needs a sane person to reel him in. As an example, in one interview he said for Drackengard 1 he wanted the final boss to be a giant version of a Japanese Pop Idol that game down from the sky and challenged you to a rhythm battle. While that sounds pretty fucking absurd anyone who has played through Drackengard can tell you that ridiculous idea was actually used, overly silly shit scraped off, as the basic concept for the Queen Beast. Completely off the wall ideas like that are what make Taro's work impressive.

A weeb originally referred to a person obsessed with Japan, to the point of going there and trying to learn the language, not anybody who liked media from Japan.

Both of you are gigantic faggots. The origin of the word weeaboo comes from a word filter for "wapanese" from 4chan back in the day, with the inspiration for it coming from a nonsense word in a PBF comic. Wapanese is someone who thinks Japan is so superior that the person wishes they were born Japanese themselves.

Weeaboos will try and offplay this as calling themselevs otakus which ironically, has an incredibly negative stigma in Japan but less so in the US.

Pretty much, but they thought that by saying the word "quantum" a lot it would somehow stop being wizardry and start being science. It's a common trait of shitty sci fi writers.

If a person is obsessed with Japan it's a pretty safe bet that they are obsessed with Japan's media as well. Which again makes it reasonable to call said media weebshit.

The word hasn't change, you're just being too rigid with the flexibility of it's use, since you're essentially arguing that something can't be called weebshit just because it can also be enjoyed by someone who isn't a weeb.

It doesn't matter what it means anymore, it became a buzzword by now. Look at 16789 post for example, he is not saying anything interesting or constructive about the games in question, their stories, or Jap games in general. He is merely latching onto Jap games as "weebshit" and implying that everything anime-themed has shit stories by the very reason of being "weebshit". It's the equivalent of saying "All horror games are shit" or "All FPS games are shit", just by the theme of the game instead of it's genre. There are also people that use that word as a descriptor of a game, but usually those people call themselves weebs

Nigger, what I said is that it doesn't matter anymore because the word lost it's original meaning already and is used as merely as buzzword, or used in different context entirely. You're not going to fix that by just explaining what the original word meant. It's already fucked.

There is nothing wrong with trying to learn the language though, the word had it's negative connotations because of the cringy behaviour that weebs exhibited. It's not a good distinction.

The bioware games after Dragon Age Origins- 6 games, and I'm counting only RPGs.

All Uncharted games mentioned- 4 games

17 games in total that were mentioned.

I might have missed some, but the majority of the games mentioned in the thread are western. You are full of shit.

Wrong number of western games, I didn't count 3 games from posts I linked to, 20 fucking western games mentioned in comparison to 13 Japanese ones. That's 60% of mentions from those I found. As I said, I might have missed a post or two though, but feel free to correct me. I doubt that the numbers will be very different.

Quest 64 has some amusingly bad plot points in it's rather sparse story, including but not limited to the player char not having a reaction to finding his father (which the whole game was partly about) and having a random NPC that shows up in every town actually be a creation of the main villain. She literally does nothing and is miraculously spared after her creator defeat for…. no reason really.

The only game that did "Shitting on you for playing the game at all" well was OFF, and that was because the conflict there was not black and white, and it only served as a way to question your own actions and wether the thing you did was right in the end and not to vilify you,
