>no Final Fantasy VII
>>736650864Not even top 5 on the PS1
>>736650836>taroslop>uchikoshislop>xenoshit
>>736650836Just because the last minutes of Sons of Liberty are a mindfuck doesn't mean the whole game is good. And where the fuck is Soulreaver. And muv luv? Really? The game that meanders for three games just to spit on your face at the end? At least post Muramasa, now THAT is real kino.
>>736650836>book 7
*skip*
muvluv (specifically alternative) and mgs2 are like two of the most overrated stories of all time. They define this kind of japanese storytelling that westoids slop up where the more things that are happening the better
>>736651359Yep.The other kind of japanese storytelling, epitomized by Yoko Taro imo, is a plot where barely anything fucking happens for 90% of the time but then there's le heckin' ebin twist around the finale, which ends up being the only thing anyone remembers from that particular work.
the best stories are ones that are simple and told through gameplay. the best story in video game history is pokemon red and blue
what's so good about the drakenguard story? I dropped the game because the first 5 minutes of gameplay made the entire thing seem like it was going to be some generic medieval game with extremely poor combat
>>736650836>all that JapslopNo.
>>736651359MGS2 is in an odd situation where a game about using a vibrating katana to kill a clone man with Doc Ock tentacles is called realistic. As a story, it does a good job with the theme of information passed down, both badly as in the in-universe copy of MGS1, and positively with Raiden talking to his pregnant girlfriend about what they plan to learn and share.
Video game writing is mostly filler, boring and uninspired, anime writing is retarded and on the nose, anime video game writing is the worst of worst worlds
>>736650836>persona>good writingimagine being this stupid
>>736650836>Japshit>Good writing
>>736650836>japs>good writing
>>736652583>>736653071Good morning, sirs.
don't think it's fair comparison to include VNs
>>736652104Oh come on, he even pandered to you with Le GAYnscape WHOREment. Everyone on here sucks that game's dick for no apparent reason other than to look cool on /v/.
>>736650836>Uminekolist discardedThe writing goes to shit halfway through because that's when R07's ghostwriter died, and the ending is retardedI'm tired that this board keep sucking off this VN
>>736650836>Umineko>XenogearsLolno. Also>Nier demake
>>736654192>Nier demake>he prefers the NieR without the content from Grimoire NieR that they couldn't fit in the original game for time/ budget reasonslol"demake" is better in every way except for a few songs in the soundtrack.
>>736654192why is it a demake? only played part of the original but I was going to play the remake fully
>>736654256>except for a few songs in the soundtrack.That's precisely the reason, Gestalt has my all-time favourite vidya soundtrack.
>>736654292IMO the only meh tracks in Replicant were "Gods Bound by Rules" and, unfortunately, "Shadowlord." There were some upgrades, like with "Deep Crimson Foe," and I thought it was pretty cool when the final visit to the Lost Shrine has "Snow in Summer" playing eerily.
>>736650836Oh my science! is that an anti war plot?is that a plot about the military industrial complex?Is that a critique of capitalism?They just don't write em like that anymore.
>>736654339>Oh my science!Do deists really still use this mockingly? It's 2026, time to grow up
>>736654378You may not believe in god, but you cannot remove faith in man, otherwise, you fall into reductionism and cheap nihilism.
>>736654339This posted was brought to you by Lockheed Martin.
>>736654460Agnostic here, but go off.
>Persona: IS + EPHow exactly? Can you provide 1 example of good writing from them?
>>736650836Gestalt > Replicant
>>736650836marathon 1-3 deserves mention, at least 1-2, but I liked the direction infinity went too
>>736650836>muvluv
>>736650836There is another. Or three others.
>>736650836You left out Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
>>736650836>both personas 2s>both whatever eleventeens>xenogearsmight as well replace planescape and dude sex with some shit like astlibra and any falcom rpg to maximize hatebait potential>>736653473an absolutely a laughable sentimentnot because you're wrong, but because i am certain you love higurashi despite it being maybe half a step removed in all matters of retardation
How about this classic?
>>736650836Im trans btw
>Deus Ex>MGS2>Nier ReplicantTRVKE
>>736651862The writing is shit but it's a unique game with insane moments. It's not worth playing through the terrible gameplay to see those moments.
>>736655652Na, the writing is kino. But agreed on it not being worth playing.
>>736650836Mate I like P2 too, but it does not belong on the same list as Deus Ex and MGS2 once, let alone twice. Some of these picks are far inferior to others
