Forgive me...
>>727775401This is why I can't stand fucking fromsheep. They call this shit the best story and writing in the history of all of gaming. /v/ is reddit tier when it comes to these kinds of things.
More like Zestyfart lmao
>>727775401I liked to read descriptions/lore of Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3 but I feel nothing about Elden Ring besides Ranni.
>>727775401>and I'll whisper>"..No, the milk clearly had my name on it."
>>727775401ZANZIBAAAAAAAAAAART!!!!!!!!!
Zanzibart does not forgive.
>>727775401If their new game featured a direct reference to this meme, would people clap or seethe?
>>727776095I'd kneel because they should embrace the shitposting already
>>727775401Zanzibart, forgive me...... *pulls out a second massive sword from his body*.... but I have to go all out, just this once *epic choir starts blasting*
>>727776095>>727776471Borderland 4 have that fucking referenceI dont think FromSoft know this meme existance
>>727775401Frompiggies love this shitty writing.
>>727776639Of course it would, the writer of Borderlands wrote the original joke tweet, why would he miss a chance to wank himself?
You'll trigger the pig pen with this one OP.
>>727775401COCK CIRCUMCISED >You receive: Cursed prepuce of the Dark King
>>727776824I realized this when Dark Souls2's made Zero, None, No sense to Dark Souls 1's story. It was just some vague reference bullshit but when you tried to line it up, you quickly found out that it was just made up. A figment. An invented muse. A whisper from an imagination. Dark Soul(s) story is just there to give you context about why you're hitting the ancient God of Death/Heaven/Dark/LIght with your sword.
>>727776824Hey, if people keep buying the rollslop
>>727776759Fromshitters hallucinated entire lore out of short item descriptions which were made solely to sound cool. The only Fromslop game to have anything resembling lore was Bloodborne.
>>727775675>but I feel nothing about Elden Ring besides Ranni.Very interesting how Miyazaki made the most explicitly Satanic character the only one it is impossible to kill.
>>727776824Basically. It's pig feed for the terminally online schizophrenics so they can make up their fanfiction.
>>727775401Crazy part is that they basically copied Zanzibart with Midra 1:1 and it was one of the best bosses in the DLC.
>>727777579Bloodborne is Zanzibartslop to the core. Stop pretending otherwise.
cope lmao
>>727775531>TheyVery specific, thank you. >/v/ is reddit tier when it comes to these kinds of thingsYou’re full of shit. Good luck finding anywhere where people shit on From as much as here. Even the people on /v/ who love the games hardly ever care about lore. This very thread is a good example. You’re just inventing stuff to feel superior over.
>>727777736It's a natural evolution of brain melt introduced in Dork Soles.
>>727777089Older RPGs are like that.
>SQUEEEEEEEEEE OINK OMG I LOVE POORLY WRITTEN PIECES OF TOILET PAPER THAT YOU HAVE TO COLLECT SCATTERED ACROSS A MAP THAT CONSTITUTE AS LORE. FEED ME MORE SHITSLOP THROUGH THE TROUGH MIYAZAKI DADDY! OINK OINK SQUEEE
PAUL ZANZIBLARTMALLMIDON OF LOSS PREVENTION
>>727777853I don't know what the troons in this thread are hallucinating about. I've never read a from fan praise those games for the writing
>>727778071You come to lore faggotry threads or any fromshitware thread and they claim that all the time.
People complain about this, but every fucking Elder Scrolls game having the exact same plot, with the exact same story beats is acceptable to them.
>>727778232Elder Scrolls has a lot of npc to compensate for it. The hell does soulsbornekirorings have? They're too minimalist for one to not notice.
>>727778232This is true for a lot of things. Some writers write the same story over and over, like Stephen King. Some film directors make the same movie like Tarantino
I didn't know there were this many fans of Borderlands writing on /v/ although I a, not surprised LOL
>>727775871
>>727778385And said NPCs just spout the same canned lines at you.
>>727778398Borderlands is surprisingly good and has some kino characters besides the usual faggotry. I can't say the same for fromslop tho.
>>727778232Elder scrolls are the sloppiest slop ever, the walmart of rpg for retards
>>727778484>Borderlands is surprisingly good and has some kino characters besides the usual faggotryhahahahahahahhahahaahahahalook at this contrarian (he's right behind me, isn't he)ahahahahaha
>>727775531>They call this shit the best story and writing inI hope you know this already anon but the whole "Zanzibart of Myrmidon method of storytelling" joke comes from a place of love and not a place of anger
>>727778474They have more depth than any npc in a fromslop game thobeitever. You can chose more dialogue options than the super outdated yes or no.
>>727778484Man, you Shazamtroons have hit rock bottom
>>727778484>Borderlands is surprisingly good and has some kino characters
>>727778509Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, etc... are the walmart of action rpgs for retards
>>727778534>>727778612Handsome Jack is better written and more memorable than all fromslop characters.
>>727778484uh so THAT just happened, YIKES
>>727778549>Need something?>Yes?>What's the matter, can't stand the sight of a strong nord woman?>Have you heard of news from the other provinces?>In the West, cheap iron, steel, and silver heavy armor is made in quantity for the Legions, and many are trained in its use. In the East, the expense of the superb ebony and daedric heavy armors limits their use to aristocratic families. Suits of ebony and daedric armor are passed down from generation to generation, and represent a sizable portion of a Great House nobles' personal wealth.
>>727778680>Handsome Jack is better written and more memorable than all fromslop characters.ahahahahahahahe's still trying ahahahahah>BUTT STALLION OMG MY SIDES BUTT STALLIONahahahahaholy fuck, you retards are too much, oh my God ahahaha
>>727778618Videogames are for retards and incel or troons.
>>727776824this sums it up perfectly
I love souls memes in all their forms so I love this meme too sorry.
>>727778543There are retards who got angry at it thoughBut it's probably the same type that thinks beating a Souls game makes them a god tier gamer
>>727778680
>>727778735Better lines than any fromslop game.
>>727778737You're totally not mad.
>>727778817Yeah people actually holding that against Fromsoft games reminded me a lot of Monster Hunter Generations calling out "git gud" players in a line and everybody shitting their shorts about it
>>727778827Are you sure about that?
>>727778809the guy who said it likes From games and it was a joke. Shazamtroons were so BTFO that they latched on it as an 'attack', from a literal Borderlands writerIt makes me laugh
>>727778879AND he's mad as fuck ahahaha>You're totally not mad.look at that period, dude is going to cryyou going to cry, Butt Stallion?
>>727778809Same. I love soul games too
>>727778484I took a screenshot of this post to use every time I see one of these threads nowEveryone should be able to enjoy this post and have a hearty guffaw
>>727779049I play Borderlands and Elder Scroll games only for their fleshed-out characters and superb writing.
ZANZIBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARTHA HA, RETARDED
Crestfallen chars are the only, semi-decent Fromslurp NPCs
>>727779184I fear the only way you could improve your literary appreciation and mastery at this point is to eschew the world of Man and withdraw to the woods for a period of solitary living, for you've already witnessed the peak of Civilized Man's accomplishments then.
>>727779230This, they are almost as well written as the guards in Oblivion
>>727779230They're barely characters.
Bethesda and Fromsoft are both trash on opposite ends.
>>727779285Yes I know. If Dostoevskij was still alive he would probably take notes from Borderlands writers in order to build some really memorabile character.
>>727779049
>>727778897>>727778981Thanks you too
I'm supposed to take literary criticism from the people who can't describe anything without using the word slop
>>727778071You must not really look around too much then.
It's like the n word and it works every time to piss off drones.
>>727779825They are terminally online trolls, they probably don't even believe in what they post, just farming (you)s
>>727779930>n wordthis tourist retard is too scared to type the no-no words because he just came from Xlmao
>>727776824>in an interview about inspiration for Souls lore he explains that as he was learning english he loved reading cheap fantasy novels >couldn't follow the plot too well however so he would just make up his own fan fiction to explain the gaps in the story>to this day retards think that means Soulsbourne games have a fleshed out coherent story that is then mystified rather than an open ended bare bones/incomplete structure where the whole point is to cultivate fan theories and discussionThey keep on having to learn this lesson over and over again too, last time being Shadow of the Erdtree. Nothing they write will be better than what the fans come up with, so they saved money and avoided development restrictions by not writing in the first place and covering their ass (le time and space is convoluted so nothing has to make chronological or geographical sense ever).
>>727778680This dull character is simply the embodiment of a forced meme, just like the forced shiz of this pile of shit called Borderlands.
Literally how Global player playing Japan game that got localized
>>727775401a tale of forgiveness and redemption will never grow old. love me zanzibart simple as.
>>727780472it's the same storytelling King's Field had back in the day and nothing has changed except the budget, fuck off you zoomer moron
>>727777089I liked Dark Souls 2's story better because it was centered around you and not the fate of the world. The only reason you're going through the game as the Bearer of the Curse is to find a way to cure yourself before going Hollow. At the end, the only two real "cures" you can get are letting yourself rest eternally upon the Throne of Want, or to embrace your new life and forge your own destiny, always finding new reasons to keep going to keep yourself from going Hollow.
>>727780598are you illiterate retard, what did you not understand about my post
Story only matters in books and manga. Video games can't have a story equal to those. So doing vague lore which sparks your imagination is the way to go.
daily reminder fromslop narratives will never be /lit/
>>727780693Are you illiterate retard? What did you not understand about my post?
>>727776824And yet this one story is so superior to anything else in the medium that it has spawned careers for people to just talk about it. Curious.
>>727776824I'm glad he wants to share his aesthetic ideal developed by barely understanding english fantasy novels, which I also suspect was influenced by Gene Wolfe's writing style. Seriously go read Book of the New Sun because I'm sure Miyazaki has.
>>727780803christ you're a stupid faggot, exactly the type I'm talking about
>>727780803he didn't understand that these kind of plots were fine in the 1990s and it's funny that only mentally stunted zoomers have an issue with vague dreamlike settings and plots that ask you to use your imaginationFunny enough, Gen alphas don't have this issue. Only zoomtards.
>>727780914Christ, you are a stupid faggot. Exactly the type I'm talking about.
>>727780747vague lore is usually an excuse to hide the fact someone can't write for shit anyway
>>727775401Deepest lore...
>playing silk song>boss dies>"zanzibug....forgive me!">Hornet: "Who the pshah is zanzibug?"
>>727781035ok but most games have shit writing so what is your point
>Muh storyGreatRead the book, instead of playing video game
>>727780970Writers for movies, TV shows, and games are encouraged to have their characters use other people's names directly and announce what they're doing just for zoomers. Some have floated out the idea of having characters say their own name too and speak in the third person.
>>727776824they have to tell the same story over and over again because so many cults/denominations are paired with level parameters and shit like that. it's so robotic and formulaic and it would have been a laughingstock in literature or cinema, but gamers are easy to impress so
Forgive me Zanzibart, but I must go all out, just this once...
There’s two things I want, a steep Elden Ring discount on PC and a Bloodborne port. Elden Ring I have on PS4 but I can’t be fucked to switch to console to play and BB desperately needs 60 fps fuuuck man. >>727780970Why do you keep pointing the finger at zoomers? Zoomers love Elden Ring. Is basically a corner stone for most of them.
>>727781123I win and elden ring is a bad game and fromdrones mass an hero and no one will ever like fromsoft games again. I would have protected gaming.
>>727781123agreed, just saying that vague lore might be hiding even shittier writing, especially if you have a fanbase of dicksuckers who praise everything you do as genius or artistic
>>727781182I 100% believe it.>>727781214like look at this guy. He has no agency. Of COURSE he needs yellow paint and simple plots written for mental toddlers.
>>727781196>cinemaSome faggot boomer with no real job>literatureSome faggot from the 19th century with no job
That writer isn't going to be remembered for anything else except that salty twitter post, isn't he?
>>727780970>>727781004See what I mean, my post is calling people who think Souls games aren't written that way retards because keep getting upset at say DS2 or Shadow of the Erdtree for not being coherent sequels that gel to their theorycrafting. Even claiming DS3 is a sequel to DS1 is a massive fucking cope, it's just the same esoteric cycle shit but they ended the whole thing with plin plin plon again so they glaze it. It's ok to admit when you don't understand something ESL, also don't call people zoomers when you can only parrot like a 5 year old.
>>727781384zero contradiction on both fronts, concession accepted
>>727781501this retard is MAD lmao
>>727778484That's the kind of a guy that gives you the ICK.
>>727776824I don't get why you niggers think this is a gotcha or anything. I have a severely fromdrone friend and one of the main things we joke about the games is how miyazaki just keeps making the same story in a different setting. The games are fun and the designs are cool, couldn't give a fuck about the rest because the story is not in your face.
>>727781358>like look at this guy. He has no agency.What are you talking about schizo?
>>727781501People lost a nut when the Ringed City hit because it did not follow their lore expectations at all. The final boss of the entire series is a literal hobo that had zero significance to any of the games at any point and his existence is only noted in the DLCs of the final game. From Soft just did whatever they thought was the coolest and let youtubers fill in the rest. Even "slave knights" weren't a thing.
>>727781428Wasn’t he some writer for Borderlands too? The most boring drivel that nobody cares about
>>727781428At least he was smart enough to backtrack so sensitive redditors didn't attack him. Even /v/'s fromdrones thought that it was funny.
>>727778484Wow, now that's just sad.
>>727781897stop playing dumb, you know there are millions of retards who go online, watch the loreslop videos and pretend it's all innovative and groundbreaking stuff
>>727776824Bloodborne isn't like that thoughever. You're literally just a guy.
>The Loss of Myrmidon: Dark Souls Lore >Run time: 1hour55minutes.

>>727775401Zanzibart lore is always the kinoest.
>>727776824his games:>enjoyableborderlands:>woke rick and morty trashlike every other westurd gamecope and seethe (((redditor))) subhumans
when the snake guy in the erdtree dlc actually said forgive me I laughed
>>727775401I wonder will miyazaki use AI to finally write a complete lore for the next game so we wouldn't have to watch vaati youtube tutorials.
proposing marriage to Firekeeper
>>727776095idk but if the ER movie has a reference to it, that might be its moment.
>>727783991come on now bro, tell me of a game series in which its lore and characters are spoken of as much as Fromgawds.Miyazaki won, seethe and scream and yell and piss and shit your skirt all you want lmao. seek to forgive your parents for raising such a failure of a man, thats what Zanzibart would do.
>>727777579>Bloodborne
Transbart
>>727777736No, everyone shows up and it makes sense outside of flavor characters like Insane Izzy.
>>727784372AI is literally perfect for the job of lore writer>In half-erased chronicles, the figure now called Zanzibart the Nameless is described only as Anon, a wanderer who refused titles the way others refuse poisoned chalices. Said to lurk behind every crumbling wall, he carried the Ladle of Pale Silver, a relic whose surface reflected not truth but endless bickering from unseen voices. Scholars insist these whispers came from the Chamber of Many Posts, a realm where faceless spirits hurled mockery into the void without ever revealing themselves. Legends claim Anon breached the boundary between tales and tellers, stepping sideways out of the world so he could heckle its authors directly. He descended into the Hollow Mirth not seeking glory, but simply to see what would happen if he poked reality with a long stick. When he vanished, only a fragment remained: a tattered hood embroidered with the words “OP WILL NOT DELIVER.” It is said to rustle softly when no one is near, as if some unseen presence is still laughing at the whole story.
>>727782507you know what, fair enough
>>727775531>They call this shit the best story and writing in the history of all of gaming.I have literally never heard people claim this. I've heard them claim that the gameplay is the best in the history of all gaming, but never the story.
>>727776824this is literal kino premise and no video game story needs more than this
>>727782964That a lot of time to just say "Cut off the greater will's influence and replaced it with an (allegedly) hands off god so people are free"
