What can be done about milennial writing?
>>727798190Terrible, but so is all the old shit like Legacy of Kain, Silent Hill 2, Planescape (which is quippy as fuck), etc. No game exists with even moderate writing.
>>727798190Pick up a pen and outdo them. That's the only thing that can be done. You can't get them to change the way they think a dialogue or a story should go. You can almost never change anyone's mind, ever.
>>727798449>Pick up a pen and outdo them.Fine.Nightwing: Fr fr?? Freeze be cappin' the icing, little bro???Tim: 67.
>>727798190hire zoomer devs
>>727798190Name a game with good writing so I can laugh. I'm not sure what you're expecting out of the worst story-telling medium that has ever existed.
>>727798596I'm not disagreeing with your assessment. I am just saying there's no other way to do it. No amount of complaints can increase someone else's skill at something.

>>727799110Max Payne is hilariously overwrought and reads like a comic book, which is what it is in a way. The narration is often intentionally hilarious during Max's internal dialogues with his description of things. You can find tons of a great lines like:>The pistol was a cold lump in my hand, gnawing me to the bone. That's a terrible line right there for two reasons; 1. Nobody would describe holding a pistol as a lump except forms retarded person, and gnawing him to the bone is retarded antho description. If you understood a thing about writing, you'd know that the attempts the game goes for to sound poetic often make it sound sophomoric.
>>727798190>question>phrasing question as an answer to the questionThis is supposed to be some shining example of this bad writing? But lets be real, you are just trying to get in on som buzzword fad. Not to mention the writing you "people" claim to be millenial is produced by gen X writers.
>>727799492>>727798190OP is retarded and has never read a book. Cormac McCarthy literally does this in Blood Meridian, where a character will repeat back something someone else says
>>727799492r/gamingcirclejerk is that way sister <3
>like um so yeah like it's a bit of a trend you know like so yeah I really feel like I can manifest like good vibes and like it all kind of just like works you know
>>727798190Yep. I guess I'm fighting dragons now. Guess that's what I do now.
>>727799492Chuds have little to no media literacy. In other news, the sky is blue and Pewdiepie is a nazi

>>727799767poojeet or tranny?
>>727798882No, the only way to combat this is unironically a total collapse of the industry, because those writers didn't get hired by merit, they just knew the right people, and Anon doesn't know the right people.
>>727799915>>727799829
>>727799929Ok that's funnier. Based.

>>727799986>>727799915> WAhhh supporting gays is... LE BAD!You're like my boyfriend who keeps drifting over pride streetwalks in game.

>>727799776>How to tell when someone uses Chat GBT to find an answer to an argument and effectively answers it wrongly. This is why nobody takes retards that don't read seriously. This is literally a ChatGBT answer to the question, and that passage is narration, not repeated dialogue, ape. Here you go, retard illiterate under-read nigger. I made sure it was a a heckin movin picturino so you didn't have to talk to a LLM to once again prove me right. https://youtu.be/ZY0DG8rUnCA?si=KIfiLXoI3LfsIJ0P
>>727798401never played the other games but you cant tell me the disjointed dialogue of silent hill 2 (which serves the plot btw) is on the same level as capeshit quips
>>727799915>>727799986>>727800087Why do they feel like they need to insert gay shit into everything?
>>727799947The industry is less likely to collapse than anon getting to know the right people.

>>727800151>it's written bad on purposegamers are a lost cause.
>>727800036>Media literacy gambit going all out. Goes that make the gun grow teeth and gnaw him?
>>727800218>Goes that>GOES THAT
>>727800167they insert themselves into everything because they cannot empathize with other people and therefore cannot get invested in characters that don't "represent" them
>>727800167As opposed to you mentally ill heteroids inserting your straight shit into everything?
>>727800151This is like biting into to turds to determine a winter. The only difference is everyone knows the stuff in the OP is bad and boomers larp like SH2 dog shit dialogue and VA is good
>>727800181
>>727800298it's a straight world, you're just tolerated in it (in the west that is and that shit is going down)
>>727800167why do you fear gay chads so much?
>>727800087Fags are lame as fuck, they make taking cock up the ass their entire identity and we're supposed to be rooting for them for it? Leave.
>>727800298no one even knows what that pic is suppose to be
>>727800209>he's so illiterate he thinks it's bad writingDunning Kruger moment
>>727800372>it's a straight world,It's that why you straights are miserable, lonely, depressed and suicidal? And often times are pathetic incels and the few of you who aren't just murder their wife and kids?
>>727800390i don't want to choke on a cock
>>727799926There's no bait to say the medium has no even passable writers.
>>7278002092 and, to an extent, 3 have a super dreamlike quality to most of the game considering the protags are essentially running through their own personal hell. the voice acting is usually pretty bad and the writing and voice direction makes everyone seem like theyre half asleep and just kinda go along with what someone else is telling them. i have to assume this is at least semi intentional though when something like marys letter read is so well done despite marias (same va) dialogue being disjointed the rest of the game
>"Millennial Writing">Look inside>Gen XerEvery Fucking Time
>>727800372Fun fact, during the dark ages gays were more tolerated and the ones being hunted down were church cucks and tax men
>>72780044341%

>>727800448You don't have to anon. Just do a 360 and walk away.
>>727800515Those are tranny suicide ideations. I am not a tranny thus i have nothing to do with it.You, however, have a lot to do with this, lmao:https://www.statista.com/statistics/1114191/male-suicide-rate-in-the-us-by-age-group/>In 2022, the rate of suicide among U.S. straight men was 23 per 100,000 population, the highest rate recorded over the past 70 years.
>>727800337i never said its good retard i said it serves the plot. i can absolutely look past james va being bad at voice acting when the story of the game is so compelling that the voice work ends up becoming a bit charming to listen to. are you gonna tell me next that the graphics are bad therefore the whole game is spoiled?
>>727799947Dude the entire world is like that
>>727798190nice subs, I can almost read them
>>727798401Games don't need writing at all to tell a good story. That said, Legacy of Kain is great, fuck off tasteless retard. I don't even want to know what the likes of you considers good writing, I can only hope it's nothing I enjoy.
>>727800087>supporting child predators is badYes. I agree. Sorry, millennialcuck. Gen Z (the superior generation) hate you.
>>727800281It's always the cunts that call themselves 'empaths' that have zero empathy and a narrow mind.
>>727800698Click the image little bro.
>>727800613Lmao this is patheticBait or retarded, call it
>>727800729But straight men are the biggest predators in the world. Even here in 4chan you guys admit it.
>>727798190It’s not millennial writingIt’s DEI hiring
>>727800487nta, but they copied something they didn't tonally understand and it shows. There's no universe where this dialogue is good. Dave gives his characters levity, believability, and relatibility. SH never had this. It never has charm. They genuinely thought every dialogue should be Red Room or Lodge nonsense, and instead of granting that dream-like tone that Dave nails, SH2 just makes the characters feel like retards.
>>727800729I hate fags like anyone but the fact that all of those sources are from the 90s and earlier (except one from 2001) tells me a lot about the credibility of it
>>727799404>Max Payne is hilariously overwroughtOkay but it's transparently a parody of film noir. Too transparently, actually. If I had to argue that it's bad writing, I'd say the reason isn't that it's full of cheesy voiceover narration but rather that it explicitly references film noir so many times, probably out of fear that no one would make the connection otherwise. Sam Lake did the same thing in Alan Wake, where there was a pretty nice visual homage to The Shining followed immediately by Alan (via narration) mentioning The Shining as if anyone who was too stupid to get the joke would appreciate it anyway.>reads like a comic bookWow, no way.>which is what it is in a wayOh good, at least you know it's not a valid criticism.>intentionally hilarious>intentionallyIs that a typo or are you admitting that the writing succeeds and therefore isn't bad?Also, you used "hilarious" twice in two sentences, so you are bad at writing.
>>727800717VA is excellent. Writing is extremely spotty. Plot and story are horrific. Full stop. I'm not listening to some faggot off /v/ to tell me to eat slop and like it.
>>727798190Mass layoffs and stop allowing them to fail upwards

>>727800698Buy a pc
>>727799929
>>727800613>pictureWhat the fuck
>>727800917That's a lot of writing to tell me that you know it sucks. Also, don't sweat too hard analyzing /v/ posts criticizing writing and attempting to say they're poorly written like it's an argument. By that logic, nobody on /v/ can criticize any game ever.
>>727800503People blaming millennials have no idea what they are talking aboutIt’s always just the same looking leftist retard that some stupid union put in there
Hire me.
>>727801151Isn't that the girl who had a soiboy husband and then came out as a dyke and then became a ftm tranny?
>>727800832ive been putting off watching lost highway for a bit, should i watch it? every review of it is retards making jokes about how no one understands lynch movies n stuff so ive been a lil hesitant on it. either way as i said i dont think it was 100% intentional considering 3 only has slightly better voice acting and im definitely not saying its perfect, but i do think it gives the game a little bit of charm that imo makes it better than if it had perfect voice acting
>>727800993
>>727798401>No game exists with even moderate writing.Let me guess, "books" (non-specifically, of course) are better?
>>727799776Well fuckface, I'm waiting for my reply to >>727800148Is chatGBT not giving you any good answers?
>>727801302Seems the husband wasn’t a soiboy and just secretly despised her
>>727800819>the thing doesn't understand per capitanot only you're gay but also black ? nah, too much of a coincidence, you must be a jeet
>>727801338kek i'm surprised they didn't make this pun
>>727801406> All straight men are pedophiles and come to 4chan 24/7 to talk about their pedophilia and post cp> anon: REEEE LOOK AT PER CAPITAAAAlmao.
>>727801302Yeah
>>727798190writing.it's that easy to make your own writing, i'm doing it right now.
>>727801328I've watched all of Lynch's stuff. It runs the gamut. You'll either like it or you won't. Crystalline understanding isn't as important as just enjoying it.
>>727801339I can be specific if you want to talk about books. Even movies are better written. I just watched Taylor Sheridan's trilogy, and it was excellent. Check it out, especially Hell or High Water.
>>727801572only lynch media ive seen so far is season 1 of twin peaks, it was enjoyable if not a little boringif i like movies like jacobs ladder or donny darko would i like lost highway?
>>727800167>>727800087they literally LITERALLY cannot create human life so they are existentially driven to shove gay shit into anything they can as a form of procreation under the guise of progress and tolerance and advancing the good of society. You can stop them by not LARPing with them that society needs "progress"
>>727800148Never got around to watching this movie, intense scene though. Gonna pirate it and watch later.
>>727801712These 3 are all a lot different, but I would say DD and Jacob's Ladder are closer to eachother than either is to Lost Highway. A lot of Lynch's stuff has this really inexplicable 90s TV feel to it .
>>727801083>Heh, so you agree a video game has subpar writing just like every other video game ever made. Now it doesn't matter that I completely failed to understand the game despite its pop culture references being dumbed down and explained for people like me.Yes, congratulations. You're as right as a clock which has been broken for exactly a multiple of 12 hours.

>>727801778Isn't that what pets are for?
>>727799790You're right, we can't critique the writing in Killer7 because it's so fucking nonsensical it becomes impossible to approach
>>727802195>he didn't get itlmaoooooooooIt's okay, kino isn't for everyone.
>>727802258The only part I understood was that the briefcase guy was sent to kill the killers, he succeeded but also he didn't?
>>727800218There's this thing called frostbite, even though weather also doesn't have teeth.
> milennial writingas opposed to what? saying 6 7?
>>727802401haha good one gramps dont forget to go to bingo night later
>>727800036Is he too stupid to wear gloves?
>>727802491Gloves would make it impersonal and I'm making shit up now. You're just grasping.
>>727802489>go to bingoso i can yell 6 7?
>>727802401>6 7
>>727799404>heh, you see, this line is terrible because (reasons I made up)Sorry, I like that line, rendering your entire critique and life meaningless.
has little to do with milennials, they just hire talentless nobody fucks to write most games. If a writer is good they are either going to write books or work in the film/tv industry. And since gamers have zero taste it just works, just look at how the average person seem to think the last of us 2 or bg3 are the peak of gaming narrative
>>727798190More like boomer writing.And by boomer I mean gen x. Really though this is less a gen thing and much more a competency crisis situation. Writing and creating fiction is a skill and all the people with that skill and talent were fired for diversity hires about a decade ago now, so the entirety of those institutions have been crammed with like-minded talentless hires who hire more of their ilk and the skills are progressively more lost over time.

>>727802801it feels unreal that guy was president
>>727802942Current one is a literal pedo who gave another president a blowjob...
>>727803079That's also absurd
>play capeshit>wonder why it has capeshit writinghmmm, curious. anyways, the bigger sin here is "make weather" rather than "change the weather". it is a fundamental misunderstanding of language. you can say "mr freeze can make an ice storm?" but you cannot say "make weather" without coming off as a total retard.>>727799929that's much better. quippy but actually progresses the conversation and gives robin some characterization as a sarcastic kid.>>727800993bad.>>727801338bad, but has potential with considerable reworking.>>727800978no.>>727801964one of the worst things i have ever read.
>>727802942It's unreal that an establishment politician was president? A former vice president becoming the president is somehow unreal?
I wouldn't worry too much about it. Zoomer writing will be exponentially worse.
>>727799929>>727803214i agree with this anon>>727799929 this one was acceptable
