I thought these games had the deepest and most emotive storylines when I was a teen. I replayed them a couple of years ago and they just haven't aged well at all despite their reputation in the gamer community. Lit really does ruin other mediums for you, huh.
they were never good because of their storylines. they were good because of the way they utilized their own medium for atmosphere and subversion. lit also ruins your aesthetic insight, apparently.
>>25336281>>253363404 had the best atmosphere but worst gameplay. It's a bit more bearable on easy.
>>253362811 and 3 are just genre slop. 2 is talked about so much because it actually has depth at least by vidja standards. It doesn't really matter since trying to compare different mediums is apples to oranges since it will inevitably leave out merits that can't be reasonably compared.
>>25336281Have you played Nier 1?
>>25336281worse is MGS shit. it's literally too deep 4 u dog shit sucking off western mythos and concepts of masculinity. when u see retards glazing it know that they couldnt even get through a stephen king novel.
>>25336606>people with taste can't get through stephen kingI'm shocked.
>>25336609>kojima slop is tastelol. lmao even. dude sells plastic taobao merch now as his last fuck you to his fans. he's old as shit pretending to be a model, and has no games left in him. grow up, tard
nah
>>25336616VNs are chimeras emerged from the shattered chest of novels to take root in the host body of video games
>>25336606Metal Gear plots are fun, but I wouldn't necessarily call them "deep"
>>25336604I have :D I love it
>>25336281Disco Elysium is the one good video game. Quite a shame really, given what the medium should be capable of and the billions of dollars that a poured into it year on year. But I suppose a wallowing mediocrity is to be expected of a medium when it is primarily occupied by greasy little STEM nerds
I will never understand this weird 4chan thing of not enjoying different art forms
>>25336644I played about 6 hours of Disco Elysium and hated pretty much every bit of its writing. I don't understand the appeal at all.
>>25336648It’s like Plato described, once you ascend to a higher pleasure even descending to a lower but still pleasurable level is painful>>25336648I feel the start is the weakest
>>25336657Maybe try Sacred and Terribile Air, the original novel without irony or the drunk cop
>>25336663Ah yes Plato spoke of thisHave you read him?
>>25336670It’s in book IX of The Republic, before he describes the tripartite nature of the soulhave you?
>>25336648Especially since books are the art form that gave us romantasy and other fem gooner shit.Not exactly a spotless medium.
>>25336674I have, like Nietsczhe
>>25336678hahahaha good for you darling
>>25336666What are you planning Satan
>>25336689
>>25336366>4 had best atmos
>>25336648>overpriced digitized action figures>art form
>>25336616He looks like a poor man's Kaworu
>>25336840Well butter my biscuit Shinji
>>25336827Thoughts on Canto XVII of La Comedia Divina?
>>25336843I haven't played that one, did they remaster it yet
>>25336666not reading your commie gobbledygook satan
>>25336636>I wouldn't necessarily call them "deep"millions of virgin teenagers around the world beg to disagree
>>25336648And you never will.
>>25336648>I will never understand this weird thing of not enjoying baby rattles
>>25336848yes, its called dantes inferno. go check e it
>>25336615>tacitly admits games are beyond critique and can only ad hominem the directorI accept your concession.
Guys I'm about to launch one of the most scathing, brutal, vicious critiques ever set upon the entire world, I hope you're readyHere goes:>popular thing...is...le bad!
>>25336900I agree only if I don't already like popular thing.
>>25336892hell yeah looks HECKIN
>>25336648People on this board have a massive superiority complex, just look at the replies
>>25336940The movie is better
>>25336827Femoids have assraped literature far worse than they have any other medium.Get off your high horse.
>>25336870That's fine. As a teenager I thought Fullmetal Alchemist and Kingdom fucking Hearts were "deep". They'll grow out of that thinking eventually and come to still enjoy the series in new ways.
Oh yeah but fucking Cormac "le darkness defeats le light" McCarthy, now THAT'S deep and mature
>>25336984>They'll grow out of that thinking eventually
>>25336991the road and blood meridian make silent hill look like teletubbies and i dont think mccarthy is that deep either
>>25336981You have never lived with a woman who wasn't mommy-wommy and it showsy-woahsy
>>25337007>Living with a womanYou are a fool
>>25336984Fullmetal Alchemist isn't the deepest thing out there but it's still has something going for it. I can't help you with Kingdom Hearts.
>>25336606mgs 1-3 is good.
>>25337049>I CAN'T BREED
>>25337091>Reproducing and bringing more little shits to this world
performative reading, the thread
>>25336984As a long time hardcore fan of Kingdom Hearts, I never thought it was deep, it was simply convoluted. You never what new shit Nomura was going to pull out of his hat.The one thing I do think it was brilliantly done, it's Roxas' seven days.
>>25337124performative gaming*
>>25336644they intentionally modeled the writing on quippy twitter posts, it's actively unpleasant to read.
>>25337229that explains the bite-sized prose, such surface-level rhetoric for tackling political subject matter, i guess gamers think that shit is impressive
>>25337229it's a sympathetic indictment of idpol retardation. the twitter posting is a partof that themingit's a story about how stupid, absurd, and harmful coping mechanisms are but that in times of grief people need them regardlessit's a solid story. retards praise it or demonize it because they think it condones or condemns their tribe
>>25337425>it's a story about how stupid, absurd, and harmful coping mechanisms arei guess they missed the memo regarding gaming being the biggest coping mechanism of them all
>>25337433no that doesn't make any sense at all. I assume this is mindless screeching?substance abuse and ideological hang ups are a lot more relevant to adults and have a much greater impact on their lives
>>25337433>i guess they missed the memo regarding gaming being the biggest coping mechanism of them allFor people on this site, you're probably right. Otherwise I'd say there's much bigger copes that far more people rely on.
>>25336606kojima is the pynchon of vidya
Silent Hill is great in the way Deus Ex or the Star Wars prequels are: it transcends its status as "slop" to become "kino." OP has read maybe two books this year tops.
>>25336889you're lame
>>25337059Rare to see a passu user out in the wild
>>25337445For every alcoholic there are 40,000 gamer addicts, cope harder Todd.
>>25337485you're underaged, virginal and fat
>>25337622acting like video game addiction is real or matters at all is dumb as hell
>>25337796go unpause your match, the adults are busy
>>25337796>my escapist addiction is the good and safe one actuallylol
We forget that there was a time that people thought reading too many novels was an antisocial epidemic.
>>25337878I did not forget. I remember our ancestors lamenting the girls spending all their time reading stupid novels and the boys later in life regurgitating their "borrowed learning" by just parroting what they'd read and I remember the ancients lamenting the loss of memory and reliance on the written word at the dawn of writing. I remember it all and everything we've lost as a result of THESE ACCURSED WORDS
>>25337823>>25337834aren't the ones who think video games are worse than alcohol going to be the people who play them?seems delusional to think video games matter or that the average person is affected by them in any capacity other than a quaint pass timeimagine being addicted to a toy
>>25337902no
>>25337902don't even understand what you're trying to say, lil pup
Videogames are a waste of timeNow posting on 4chan for 12 hours a day about how the west has fallen, now THAT'S productive
>>25337912white people need new hobbies
true /vlit/heads know that the actual most deep game, substantively, is Quake 3. A complete rejection of pretension and an embrace of space, movement, time and repetition.
>>25337961cool action figure kid, your mom buy it for you
It's just a zoomer trying to force an epic new memeHe's going through that phase we all did when you're around 17 and want to be seen as a Mature Serious Adult ™>>25337383
