Why is the anime tranny derailing this thread with his anime from a decade ago nobody cares about?
>>729574538I despise modern games so much, bros.
>>729574558You just know the next AAA game shown on livestream that has this dialogue in it will be spammed with “Focus M”
>>729566881>>729567165Isn't this literally what the Mario movie is like?
>>729576121Yes, and I can't wait for the moment where "focus, M" is derided by developers and journalists as being bullying. A Mario shitpost is gonna blow the fuck out of all modern game writers and it will be glorious.
>>729576154Na, the movie has a decent amount of sovl, or at least it does until illumination force it to play pop music
>>729576154The movie was actually worse.
>>729576181>kotaku article>”Focus M: how an alt-right meme lead to widespread harassment in the gaming industry”
>>729573404That's like 40% of the threads now?
>>729576261why the fuck is this so goddamn accurate?>"Focus M. how an alt-right meme was reclaimed by the left"
>>729576293>now
What are some games that actually have this type of dialogue? I know I’ve heard it plenty of times but I can’t pinpoint exactly which games. They all just blend together so much
>>729576425uncharted
>>729576425Forspoken, Saints Row, Concord...
>>729573936That's not really funny, unless you were an artist who actually made a Westernized uglified man-jaw Peach. "Western video-game women are ugly" isn't funny by itself, there needs to be an actual joke
>>729576425Uncharted, Forspoken, Insomniac Spider-Man, and modern Assassin's Creed games are the biggest offenders.I'm curious though. Can anyone think of a specific example of a literal "Focus, M"? Like, the video-game voice lady giving the protagonist that corny ass nickname
>>729576708>>729576738These are good examples. Some people will cite any game with comms dialogue but that’s retarded. I saw people comparing it to CP77 just because the character’s name is V. >>729576893Spider-Man is a little forgivable because quipping is literally canon for the character, but the style of comms dialogue is similar, and they do call him shit like “Spidey” and “webhead.” I don’t play AssCreed so I couldn’t speak to that.The joke is about a specific type of character and writing, the quippy irreverent badass hero and the no-nonsense girl-boss, filled with half-assed “comedy” moments. It’s not just people talking on a radio.
>>729576425Numonster hunter and Resident evil remakes. You are in the middle of a zombie apocalypse shut the fuck up and stop commenting on every little thing you come across.
>>729577081>Some people will cite any game with comms dialogue but that’s retardedYeah, the people saying "heh, this is just like MGS!" or "RE4 much?" don't get the joke at all
>>729577081>Some people will cite any game with comms dialogue but that’s retarded.Comms dialogue is just the most common way it's presented. For games like Metal Gear Solid the comms dialogue segments are a core part of the game's identity and aesthetic, it's conversations you focus on because you pause the gameplay to do it. Most shitty games that use it do it for convenience, because it's easier to just have voice lines play while the player is looking at their character model in a 2-minute elevator ride.

people are talking shit but I mean actual modern Mario games are just as bad as the parodies if not worse

>>729579430>Mario, come over! I made a cake!>Wahoo! Let's a go!>UH OH BOWSERhow many times have they done this
>>729574538Missed the point, anon. AAA Mario is a parody of games that take themselves extremely seriously despite being ridiculous, not Forsaken-style millennial writer fantasies that don't take actual dangerous situations seriously. Both are slop but there's a difference
Why is sincerity so underrated?
>>729579915>games that take themselves extremely seriously despite being ridiculousLike what?
>>729573316Imagine the stench after weeks innatrench
>>729580005subversion post-modernist marxist nonsense has been a disaster for human creation
>>729579915It's both. The dubbers are making fun of the guy who made a serious mario if he real demo but their dialog is quippy slop the video probably wasn't serious to begin with the guy who made it is a 4channer
>>729580032Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, most of the modern Game Awards slop like E33, etc
>>729580005Because it's very difficult, if not close to impossible, to tell a truly fresh, original story. The canon of cliches, formulas, and tropes has been solidified for both movies and video-games. Most modern writers are too prideful to sincerely partake in these cliches, yet aren't creative enough to come up with something original, so instead they tell cliche stories with a smarmy insincere voice to offset their self-conscious mediocrity.Put simply, pop culture has gone on for too long. There's no new stories to tell anymore, and writers are collectively slowly going insane
>>729579915Focus, A
>>729580190Assassin's Creed is the king of obnoxious out-of-place "not taking things seriously" millennial writing though. I feel like you're splitting hairs to the point where you don't even understand the thing you're trying to discuss
>>729580256How did you know my name is Anonymous?? Did you hack me??
>>729580227This happens because writers are too retarded to look outside of their bubbles for inspiration tbf. People are stuck in echo chambers like the ouroboros, eating and pumping out the same content over and over and over and over again because that's the only thing they know to do
>>729580341Let's just saayyyyy...a little birdie told me.
>>729573316AI slop.

There's an art to writing to this almost. It's hard to articulate but it's like a form of corporate theatre with inflexible character archetypes. I think it might be possible to distill it down to a formula. >Every line should be an inoffensive quip>If not a quip it should be forced sentimentality>If neither then it should just be CHARACTER TRAIT, because every character gets one. They do not contain multitudes because that's too complicated. Their one personality trait must be plainly expressed at all times. >The male hero lead is a paradox. He must be simultaneously the only person strong/competent enough to do The Thing but also a loser who is the butt of every joke. Take Corbin Dallas and write him like shit, remove every offensive trait that he has until he is a toothless walking catchphrase and there you go, time to party.
>>729580632>He must be simultaneously the only person strong/competent enough to do The Thing but also a loser who is the butt of every joke. That's because the protagonist has to be RELATABLE. If he's not RELATABLE then suits think the players won't like him, and to be relatable they think you have to be a giant loser.
>>729579915I feel like both of these exist simultaneously most of the time
>>729580632There is an artistry to intentional soullessness. Look up "corporate music"
>>729580227I recently watched Princess Bride for the first time, and playing the tropes straight on made it fun. Old theatre also thrives on character tropes interacting. There's no point in trying to subvert them when they're essentially well-worn literary tools that have survived the test of time.
>>729580843I just realized that most of this quippy shit is just trying to be Princess BrideBut they don't have the charm or the talent to make it work with the audience
>>729580752I still don’t know why people think characters need to be relatableI don’t “relate” to a goofy plumber going wahoo, or a mostly silent female bounty hunter doing flips and shit. I don’t “relate” to someone like Max Payne whose wife is dead and he’s depressed, or someone like Dante who is cocky and over the topYet all 4 of those characters are beloved and iconic
>>729580909They all want to write Buffy the Vampireslayer dialogue
>>729580934>I don’t “relate” to someone like Max Payne whose wife is dead and he’s depressedLucky you
>>729566881Built to swell up until she explodes (erotically, non lethally)
>>729580824Don’t forget about the corporate art style
>>729581036>non lethallyHow do you non lethally explode? Does she respawn?
>>729581090Only her non-vitals explode
>>729581137So she's reduced to nothing but a sentient, feeling, disembodied pile of organs? That's even fucking worse than dying
>>729580824My gym started playing AI slop background music today, with obvious AI vocals. How come technology gets better but things only keep getting worse and worse?
>>729576425Splinter Cell
>>729581260I’m of the (most likely overly optimistic) opinion that AI generated content will eventually be incredible but we’re still in an early stage
>>729576154The first one tried to hold it in a little bit with Mario still having to save Peach near the end even if she was a girlboss for most of it. Peach also seemed more attracted to Mario in the movie than she usually shows in the games besides a kiss on the nose or cheek. The second one is going to be truly awful if the trailers can be trusted with Rosalina now being a girlboss voiced by Brie Larson and the Mario Bros being left on Bowser watching duty for who knows how long.
>>729580990Yep, it's all these 2 quipping at each other until it becomes >THAT'S RIGHT, B, THE CONFUBALTOR LINES ARE ZORNGOGGLING UNDER THE BRONZE AND CAUSING XANDER TO BE POSSESSED
>>729579869A lot, which shows how well it still works. Miyamoto realized very early in his career a player needs some incentive to play your game to form an emotional connection with it, and that can be as simple as "save some princess". Almost nobody has an emotional connection with Atari 2600 games that look like modern art because it's too abstract. SMB was one of the first games to really feel like an adventure, in part because of how big it felt for its time and in part because of its story. It's very simple, but nobody ever plays Mario, stops and thinks "why am I even platforming over these dangerous mushrooms?" You'd think that sounds obvious, but so many modern games have writing that feels chopped up and patched together with duct tape to the point where it's not obvious what you're doing and why. I've seen linear first person shooters with million dollar budgets like Doom Eternal and Wolfenstein II stumble on this. In the former, Doom Eternal, you start in a space hacker castle. Where did it come from? What's this gotta do with Doom 16's ending? While you're wondering that, you teleport somewhere. Where exactly? I don't know, then you go kill a Hell Priest. What the fuck is that? Not explained. Then you go to hell to meet some dude who looks like Doomguy who gives you a battery, and so on and forth... In Wolfenstein II, BJ escapes death but is crippled from his injuries from that explosion in the first game's ending. Makes sense so far. So the rebellion attacks Frau Engel's airship, she kills someone and they escape and decide to head for America to meet up with some rebels in a nuked New York in hopes of sparking a revolution. Why would they live in a nuked shithole? Dunno. Then BJ meets up with the rebels and has to convince them to rebel while never establishing why we would need their help, and it goes on like that. It's so confusing because these are very simple things to explain, and yet they never are. It comes across as sloppy and messy.

>>729574538When are we getting rid of this shit? How did it come to this?
>>729576261It's like we have seen this shit happening over and over again, it's all so predictable, we're in a fucking loop.
>>729577314People who cite any game before 2012 clearly don't get it.
>>729582545Thanks, Kojima.

>>729582880Cuz it happened rarely, and the AI companion is really like an emotionless robot who only ever says something "funny" in a meta kinda sense where it's "haha isn't it fucked up that you're accruing debt for trying to survive here" and not the robot quipping at you.

>>729582319based Sopranos pilled anon
>>729582545Because modern games can't allow a moment of silence, that's why the character is also constantly talking to himself (it's more obnoxious since they're voiced, unlike old games where characters would comment on things you interact with, but with just text).Basically games were books before, they're movies (and bad ones) now.

>>729583768Yeah they don't give a shit. My nephew turned 13 this year and mostly plays Rocket League now. I don't think he even plays Fortnite or Minecraft or Roblox anymore, he used to but not anymore. He did like Spider-Man PS4 but that's the only type of modern cinematic game he owns.
>>729583776>metal gear solidMGS was the opposite of this, it was sincere and trying to be deep without the fear of being cringe, these movie games are ironic and not taking themselves seriously constantly like a Marvel movie which puts jokes in between serious scenes all the time. These shit didn't even exist in 1998.

>>729574538>Aww, don't worry, Mario. I'm sure like most introverts they live rich inner lives.You got me to audibly go, "Oh fuck you!" reading that. Good job. I hate it.
How do I avoid writing like this? I write on AO3 and I'm always worrying that my writing comes across this way. I try not to ruin emotional scenes with snarky quips, that's a good start, right?
>>729583573I actually timed it once with one of the newer Gears of War games. Throughout the ENTIRE game on average there isn't more than 5 seconds of silence before someone starts talking.
>>729603179Being funny on purpose is genuinely very hard. If you're quipping a lot I have strong feeling that your writing is constantly breaking the flow to be, 10% of the time, actually entertaining and humorous.
>>729603179don't be afraid to be sincere

People say that cyberpunk 2077 is like this but while I think a lot of the dialogue doesn't really land for me, that game was actually pretty decent at keeping comms chatter to a pretty low point and johnny never really seemed to bother me that much

>>729603428After playing VTMB2, Johnny is a fucking godsend compared to Fabien
all the fanart that surged from this makes Peach look too prettyyou know AAA peach would be disappointing with extra freckles and granny lines in her face and everything
>>729603720>I imagined peach as ugly and now I'm madokay
>>729583969They're trying to be a westernized version of MGS.MGS, just like other japanese franchises like Sonic or Final Fantasy, are earnest even if it ends up being cringe. Western writers are not earnest and make it cringe on purpose because to them being seen as cringe when they're being earnest is weakness, so they hide it under self-aware irony.
>>729583868Big Boss is meant to be a broken man that caves under the pressure and becomes a villain while Solid Snake is meant to be a man that didn't let the world break him and always kept a bit of hope inside him. At least that's how both characters came across to me.
>>729595848stop focusing m
>>729574538>Uh-oh! KSSSSHT! You're breaking up, Toadette! Uhh, can't hear you, too much static!Inbred Am*rican millennials ruined it for everyone
>>729578649"This meme making fun of poorly written movie games doesn't apply to my Kojima slop movie games because they're old and also I like them" is the opposite of nuanced thought or analysis. It's just refusing to see what's true because you're a biased fanboy.
>>729568005Me too.Fuck. I'm disappointed.
>>729603327Don't get me wrong, I like a good quip, but I understand that not every damn scene needs a quip. I'm really trying hard to not be Joss Whedon.>>729603343I do have a lot of sincere moments in my writing. I don't want my characters to be constantly rolling their eyes and being sarcastic about everything, because I get that if none of the characters take anything in the plot seriously, why should the reader? And honestly, it's kind of satisfying whenever I get to write a scene where someone tries to act like a typical snark-happy MCU character and immediately gets shut down. Like, a scene where someone makes fun of the villain's name or something, and he kills them on the spot to make it clear that he won't tolerate any MCU bullshit. Something like that would be fine, right?
>>729566881mgs: the meme
>>729583868>(besides the repeating the last words as a question constantly)That's also really just a linguistic thing with Japanese that sounds particularly out of place in English, he's basically just doing a kind of active listening while asking for elaboration or details about what the other person said.
>>729604397it doesn't apply to Kojima's games because the dialogue and format doesn't follow the formula being mocked
>>729604330What if instead of Bowser turning into Peach, Peach turned into Bowser? Nintendo hire me.
More bimbo and office peach please.
>>729604235?At the start of MGS3 BB is just a guy who's mommy figure left one day but still has faith in being a good boy soldier. At the start of MGS1 Snake was extremely cynical and almost unwilling to work for the government and had hidden away in some remote part of Alaska just to avoid talking to anyone. He broods about how all his old friends are dead or in jail and reminds everyone he isn't a hero.

>>729615739need tanya to try to defy the x being by continuously "raping" me
>>729583573>Because modern games can't allow a moment of silence, that's why the character is also constantly talking to himself (it's more obnoxious since they're voiced, unlike old games where characters would comment on things you interact with, but with just text).Serious question, is this all Drake Fortune's fault?

>>729603179>I try not to ruin emotional scenes with snarky quips, that's a good start, right?Yes. If you have that level of awareness, you should be good.>>729604464>Like, a scene where someone makes fun of the villain's name or something, and he kills them on the spot to make it clear that he won't tolerate any MCU bullshit. Yeah, that would be fine. As long you don't have one of his henchman whisper "awkward..." afterwards. Eliminating what won't happen in a scene is important. There's plenty of classic literature that plays emotions sincerely. So if you use that as a basis you should be good.
>>729603179Just remember that you are not Eric Wolpaw.
>>729574538I think some lines in here are pretty good ngl. Just need to trim away the fatty dialogue and make it so NPCs aren't constantly trying to be the smartest guy in the room.

>>729576738Modern Saints Row. The first and second games actually takes good care to make the characters sound and act like gangsters.

>>729580752>>729580934It's not so much that they're trying to make the character relatable as they're trying to make the player character a bland template for everyone to put themselves into and love immediately. These corporate characters don't have any real character flaws, don't have an interesting past (traumatic or otherwise), don't have any real identifying traits other than being ready made to be the protagonist. They're essentially the video game version of corporate Memphis: uninspired, bland and rather annoying to perceive.There's nothing wrong with a relatable protagonist, even if they have very little in common with you. But your game's protagonist and other characters should have identifying traits of some sort to set them apart, which you can't do if you want EVERYONE to buy your games.
