Why can't games have deep plots?
Is it because the gameplay takes away too much resources out of the overall budget, preventing the writters to actual put effort into the story?
Seriously, name just a single game with a good story, just one.
>>386439053
Bioshock.
>>386439053
Because it takes away resources and because a lot of writers for video games are failed screen writers which makes them mediocre at story telling at best and terrible at it at worst, all coupled with video games being a relatively young medium so there isn't a whole lot of knowledge on how to use gameplay to tell a story with out forcing the player into some form of cut scene.
>>386439053
Describe "deep plot" to me, if its anything along the lines of "cant be summarized in one sentence" then you are kidding your self because everything can be summarized in one sentence with the goal of making it look more simple then it is. You can summarise any lovecraft book with "local man goes insane because aliens".
Well done edgy characters

I loved Tales of Berseria and I'm interested in playing the earlier games in the series. Is 360 the only way to play Vesperia in English? If so how's Symphonia on PC? Any other games I should try?
>>386438791
Dont bother. Vesperia is A very long and boring ride.
>>386438791
Symphonia's okay but the combat is kind of archaic and the cast is fun I guess but nothing special
Abyss (emulate the PS2 version or play the 3DS one, playing on an actual PS2 comes with load times you do not want to suffer through) is the best in the series writing wise and the combat is pretty fun, shines in particular when playing co-op
Vesperia is the best in the series overall with great art direction, fantastically flowing (if a bit broken) combat and a very enjoyable and generally agreeable cast of characters, even if the story really doesn't know what the fuck it wants to do with itself. If you have a PS3 with CFW play the fan translation of that version, if not your only choice is the (inarguably inferior) 360 version
everything else in the series is skippable though if you know Japanese check out Tales of Destiny's PS2 remake
if you seriously want more Tales after all this play Xillia 2 (1 if you really want to, it's not very good and completely skippable since 2 reuses nearly all its fucking assets but is better in almost every aspect), Graces f (worse than garbage tier everything but combat), maybe Eternia and Phantasia if you seriously haven't had enough by this point
>>386439030
>mentions "worse than garbage tier" Graces F
>ignores Zestiria
Is Zestiria really that bad?

Why does he get a free pass? I thought /v/ hated edgy *unsheathes katana* characters
>>386438435
He's a chuuni not edgy.
>>386438435
Because he's motivational, not edgy
>>386438435
Vergil backs his nuttin personnel kid personality with actual power and motivation.
Who was in the wrong here ?
>>386438372
Sega. That scene was so poorly animated and voiced. I can still hear the hogs talking over each other to this very day.
To be fair Shadow has Sonic beat by 50 years. Sonic has no right to call him fake.
>>386438464
That's what makes this scene so special. It's so bad it's good.

No.
>ugly graphics
>buggy as fuck

All wrong. I will agree with the game having a less interesting story and atmosphere than TW1 though.
Excuse me commissar, but if the Warhammerâ„¢ 40k universe is so great, why is there only one good 40k video game despite the dozens of attempts?

*BLAM*
That's a lie, Guardsman. There are, in fact, several good games : Dawn of war, dawn of war 2, chaos gate and Space Marine. His ignorance could only mean that he was an agent of the ruinous powers.And Fire warrior, but that doesn't count because you play as a filthy xenos..
>>386438174
DON'T TURN AROUND
>Still no IG FPS where after every time you very easily die in a probably gory way you simply swap to the nearest Guardsman and keep going
>Complete with a running count of all living Guardsman on the field as your "lives remaining"

>game collects dust on shelf unfinished for months
>only ever end up finishing it 2 years later
How often does this happen to you, /v/?
More like when doesn't it happen. Except for the part where I finish it later. That never happens.
Too many times to count. I'll start a game, get to a point where I've felt like I've had enough of it and a new hotness comes along and then I'll put the game back until I feel like I should be getting round to it.

Just destroy the Crystals and save yourself.
When will CoD die for good?
did call of duty rape your children or something?
>>386437828
It never will. They will keep buying it year after year. They will make a bad one every so often but the playerbase will sit on the previous game until another one with the same mechanics comes out. Its a money making cycle.
>>386437828
I just want this "hardcore gamerrrrr lmao" shit to die out sooner. Anyone got the macro saved? I can't find it.
I have every single cod game bought and 100% completed since cod 4 and there's nothing you can do about it.
Paladins women are sexualized like fuck, is that good or bad?
Me personally? I clapped.
Their game lacks any real substance so they are just going for the low hanging fruit of fan service.
>>385725472
That's ok though, nothing wrong with that.
In a very competitive market where most games flop, you gotta use all the tricks that work. Look at Lawbreakers or Keystone for examples of games that are dead before they even launch.
Overwatch did the same initially but now think they are too good for it, which is among the many reasons people are bailing on that game.
>>385725381
It's bad. Women are fucking vile. They should be sexualizing the guys.
>watching my friend play bloodborne for the first time
>before he even launched the game he looked up OP weapon builds and the easiest ones to get
>the entire time he played he followed a Gamefaqs guide on where to go and how to kill things
I kept my stupid mouth shut but HOLY FUCK I seriously hope you guys dont do this
>>386437592
Is he a normie by any chance? My friend told me to use a guide the first time i played dark souls, but I ditched it after the capra demon
Some people play like that. Its not a big deal. Whatever makes em happy.
