What game has a really unique plot?

>>386992881
Gearbox tier writing right here

uh, Psychonauts?
>>386992974
it's part of a running gag in the game where Yiga clan members put on disguises to kill you, but they love bananas and sometimes trick you by posing as banana merchants. I wish I was making this up.

They're supposed to sound retarded. One Yiga clanswoman expresses her love for Kohga's round belly and attacks Link for not sharing her fat fetish.

>>386995464
it's not a plot point in any way and it's a fairly rare version of the Yiga encounters. It's really just an easter egg/gag.

>>386996113
that's not the plot of the game, though. The Yiga aren't part of the main story at all, they're just another nuisance that exists in the world at most.

>>386996015
Ganon has spent the last hundred years as a mindless raging beast. That might very well have caused the Yiga to degenerate.

>>386995651
>>386995860
God it's like something someone says while trying to be super pathetic and have excuses for everything to get you to do something.

>>386996228
They were always failures, if the flashbacks are to be believed. Even in the past, Link was able to take out entire squadrons of them while protecting Zelda from them.

In the end, the only reason Ganon succeeded in the past was not because of the Yiga, but because of the subverted Guardians and Divine Beasts.

The only reason I didnt hate the banana gag is their massive stockpile of them you can steal with no effort or consequence made attack recipes easy to max out and let me create a stock to double up with the barbarian set.

>>386995085
The bananas give atk up when consumed so there's an in-game basis for it. I think it's even mentioned at one point.

>>386992881
>Do you hate bananas
>only follow you if you have a shit ton of bananas
what did they mean by this?

Unironically Horizon. Rebuilding the entire planet after we're all dead and then rebooting the entire biosphere posthumously was actually pretty neat. Granted, it's not the central plot, but it is the catalyst for the story.

>>386995651
This must be what they mean by "millenial writing"

>>386995651
I wouldn't consider it Gearbox writing because Gearbox is constantly striving to be memetic. Jokes are replaced entirely with meta humor slathered with insecurity. This is just normal unironic Jap weirdness.

>>386996529
yeah, notice the lack of bananas mentioned in the cutscene. Also, that's set 100 years in the past.

I think it's pretty dumb and makes the Yiga feel more comical than they should be (alongside that Grandmaster), but it's not quite Gearbox levels of writing.

Nope. Cado explains they were a group that went rogue thousands of years before the events of the game, they were mad that the Sheika were ostracized by the other people of Hyrule

And the Sheikah were exiled after the calamity by the king. They dug up the Divine Beasts and helped Zelda with her research.

I'd rather have the silly gearbox tier writing of dressing shit up in a comedic and entertaining way rather than just telling me my objectives. Put my objectives on my hud, but show me the fucking character of the game.

I'm an atheist, though not a youtuber, and I don't hate religion or post-modernism. I can see why people cling to religion, false-it-may-be, to ease the burden of a somewhat meaningless life. I can see why people are burdened and apathetic of life because if life would be put under a microscope, it'd be random, pointless and inevitable when considering the big picture of existence.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postmodernism

since we may be talking on different meaning on post-modernism i am going to leave this right here, since pomo is already extremely hard to make a solid definition.

/pol/ to be /pol/ has to be in a way pomo, since It rejects the PC culture which is a byproduct of neoliberalism which is a modernist creation.

we also have to consider that when arguing what a white supremacist on /pol/ (note: not degrading them or anything just saying facts) they will totally ignore, ad hominem and probably have a cognitive dissonance to any evidence against them and they will reassure themselves with their groups beliefs or from a source that confirms their bias. that is pretty pomo if you ask me.

>Where the Yiga clan didn't exist.
It is revealed by the Sheikah Cado that after having proved to be key in sealing Calamity Ganon 10,000 years ago, the ancient Sheikah technology was at first praised as the power of the gods. However, the people of Hyrule began to fear their technology as a threat to the kingdom. As a result, the Sheikah became outcasts and lived in exile. Although most Sheikah chose to cast off their technology and live simple lives, others fostered hatred towards the kingdom of Hyrule for shunning the Sheikah despite all they had done for it, leading them to swear allegiance to Ganon. This resulted in the creation of the Yiga Clan, who dedicate themselves to eliminating all who stand against Ganon.
According to Zelda's Diary, it is revealed the Yiga Clan were active 100 years ago shortly before the events of the Great Calamity. At one point, the Yiga Clan attempted to assassinate Princess Zelda before she could awaken her sealing powers which were a great threat to Calamity Ganon's return. However Zelda's appointed knight, the Hylian Champion Link heroically defended her from the Yiga Clan blades, causing Zelda to open up to Link about her insecurities and apologize for her harsh treatment of him.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modernism Also leaving this here so we know what we're both referring to

Just because you're counter-culture and oppose some modernist byproducts, that doesn't make you a postmodernist. Like you said, it's hard to pinpoint what pomo even is if not the critical view of modernist values, which isn't really what /pol/ does since they rely on modernist values for their rhetoric, like proposing a narrative as if it were fact, which is very much antagonistic to pomo philosophy in general.

Also I've yet to see someone from or at /pol/ even come close to define what a "white" person even is with any sort of cohesion.

>>387002291
good point, altho pretty much the Nazi threads explain white people pretty plain and simple: a perfect race with an already set destiny to rule other races and feel superior and secure from any thread that may contaminate their superficial genes.

Does Xenoblade count as a unique plot? I at least think it's a good plot.

>>387002906
Sure, but what makes one white? Is it just the shade of the skin? Is it your genes? If so, at which point does being white start and which point does it end?

>>387003195
we are asking a question that doesn't matter in a scientific sense. in a sociological and anthropological sense? its relative to the perspective of the general population of a nation or even a culture.

>>387003045
yeah but it takes various things from final fantasy.

>>386997948
The balancing in the games is as close to full-retard as possible.

>Go into a dungeon ~5 levels below you
>EXP gain is as close to 0 as imaginably possible
>Go into a dungeon ~5 levels above you
>Literally every attack, no matter how powerful, will default at 1 damage, and enemies have tens of thousands of HP
>Impossible to powerlevel or speedlevel in this game with a level cap in the hundreds

Why do this? All it does is slow the entire process down, especially when there are bosses which demand you grind to even scratch them. This might be tolerable on a handheld console like a 3DS or Vita, but playing this shit on a PS2 at home is just insufferable.

>>386999348
Oh just fuck off already, you fedora-tipping retard.

>>387003471
But that's precisely the problem. How can you make such a delineation between superior genes and whatnot, when you cannot define what it even is to begin with? Especially since they love to pull their unsourced infographs showing average IQs and whatnot.

It's funny to me that by the same modus operandi they condemn "blacks", they should be worshiping the joos.

First Gothic, maybe. Of course it evolves into "ancient evil awakens and hero vanquishes it", but still, premise is prison break. Half of a game is trying to find a way out, damn, whole third act is getting the focusing stones to help enacting one of those plans.
