Why do AAA games do this?

>>722279442
The difference is one GAME having almost zero GAMEplay, sacrificing it to be a vehicle for the shit writing of a failed author who got rejected from literature, movies, and television and used gaming as a last resort.
And the other is focused on GAMEPLAY.

99.9% of all games do this and it's to establish basically everything. It puts you into the world and makes it feel alive instead of it simply being a checkmark simulator like you drones want games to be.

>>722279486
How else do you convey the thoughts of the player character? They aren't actually speaking to themselves, it's a construct entirely for the player's benefit.
>>
blame bioshock infinite, its tapes and secondary character following you along got so popular this is what you get
>>
>>722279486
Tbf, I like to think of it as we're hearing the internal dialogue and not them just talking out loud. Most people with an inner voice narrate the shit they do the same way.
You do have an inner voice, right, anon?

This is one of the things I really liked about Bioshock Infinite.
Elizabeth gives the protagonist someone to talk to. Establishing backstory, making you care about the characters, remarking on things that are going on.
It's much more natural than having the protagonist talk to themselves, and it's really effective at getting you invested.

And it makes it really jarring when she's not with you.

It's quite easy to, i wouldn't be surprised if snoys already forgot they're supposed to like games like Astrobot lol.

most people's internal thoughts remain abstractions so no, having dialogue like "hmm this looks interesting" is not a realistic depiction of it
>>
>>722279269
I agree with him but having a Mario pic is too hypocritical not to mock.

>tutorial explains left and right stick movement

Thanks, obviously everyone with 80$ is retarded

>>
>>722282581
No? It's often a proper narration including "hmmmm, intradasting", "bruh, what a dumbass, who does that?", "man, that brings memories", and shit like that. Narration like that is super common, there's no abstraction whatsoever.

There's no need to do that?

It's better than James grunting in Silent Hill 2 at every locked door and rest of the time being silent.
