What's the Y-axis?

>>387341553
Time

>>387341568
I don't think that's how it works, anon.

>>387341553
It should be implied that the Y axis is time, retard.

>>387341628
Oh, sorry, I'm mixing up X and Y.

I guess it's the difference between the character's attitude at the start and at the end.

>>387341568
No you nigger that's the x axis.
What is y?

>>387340045
GTA IV.

So the attitude moves back closer to what it was at the start of the game, after the high point?
Maybe it's more like investment.

>A: Protagonist gets established
>B: Protagonist starts questioning his ideals/motivations/abilties
>C: Protagonist gets confrontated with a situation, where he has to re-gain confidence in his ideals/motivations/abilties or find new ones
>D: Protagonist overcame said situation and has, as a result, grown as a character. You can compare this state to A and see what influence the story had on him

Better / worse?

So the character goes back in time after C?

Fuck off with this paint-by-numbers childish guideline shit. The greatest works from any creative field are typically revered for aspects separated from this autistic notion of characterization, which exists nowadays solely to make your work marketable to the obsessive fan consumer group.
