Are there any good video game lore books out there, or are they all key-jingling dopamine rat traps on paper instead of on screen
>>
The Last Guardian.
>>
>>25507344
That game had a shit story so I'm doubtful
>>
>>25507339
Xenogears Perfect Works

>>25507357
hmmmm...

Ys 8 cookbook.

Zanzibart… forgive me.

Why even read video game lore books when ttrpg books exist and will far more adequately fulfill your need for lore slop? Sorry if this answer isn't what you wanted to hear, but I think there are better options. Xenogears Perfect Works is good though, you should totally check that out once you beat the game.

>>25507435

Valkyria Chronicles

>>25507339
>schizophrenic reaching by a bunch of pseud youtubers
this is not fucking lore. this is just shit made up by people who see what they wanna see in fromsofts shit.
>>
>>25507357
It hurts to see the hints at what would've come. Why was Deus heading for the original Earth?
>>
>>25507339
Shadowrun has both ttrpg books and novels.

Zelda has manga if that counts.
>>
If you're using video games and secondary lore material to look for good writing or storytelling, you've already given up.
>>
>>25507339
It's not a book but I enjoyed The Firelink Conspiracy sloptube channel about Dark Souls. Apparently it triggers people too which is funny.
>>
Videogames are toys. Adult children play with them to pretend they're an elf and can have sex.
>>
how are the deus ex books
>>
>>25507348
But the world building was interesting with the half build/abandoned tample with scaffolding etc still on
But the kids turned to blue goop barrels needed more fleshing out, I doubt in a crumbling society like it appeared that it would be sustainable
I liked the aesthetic

What about a guide book to a game that never existed?
>>
i play a lot of games and have been gifted these huge fancy lorebooks and i doubt any of that shit has merit. it's merchandise, funkos in paper. video game lore sucks ass.
>>
>>25507357
Came here to say this.
Baldurs gate is based the DnD world of the forgotten realms. You can dive really deep into that.

>the world building was interesting
