>records of past survivors found throughout map>"its been days since I last ate...so hungry, the monsters are outside my door now..I can hear them breaking in! oh god!! they're inside! no no no no, the monsters are gonna kill me!! help!! I can't escape! AAAAAAAHHHH!!">written note
>>737236281kino. if monsters were outside my door eating me i, too, would write down AAAAAHHHH on a piece of paper. For posterity.
>>737236281Maybe he wrote it right before they got in, predicting what was about to happen
Name a single time this has ever been in a game. And I mean a real game, not some $2 indie asset flip horror game made by an esl.
>day 2...we found that strange obelisk in the excavation site. Mary said it's all hands on deck to dig it out in full and investigate...I just hope she knows what she's doing...>day 10...they're dead...they're all dead...it's like everyone just went crazy...worst thing is I can feel it too...huh? Sorry, I think Mary is calling me...>day 11...BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD>written note
>>737236560resident evil note
>>737236560I remember there was one like this in Bloodlines and it stuck out to me because it's the worst piece of writing in the game by far. Also System Shock was full of them
>>737236459>the "monsters" are actually special agents coming to rescue him>they see the note and ask why the fuck he wrote "AHHHHHHHH!"
>>737236694was it the sewer notes?
>>737236592Itchy tasty in RE1
Why do all writers think audio logs are the best storytelling medium ever invented?
>>737236694>>737236931There's a series of notes in the sewers, and a diary in the haunted hotel that both do this.
>>737237046>diary in the haunted hotel that both do thisOh my God, Ed covered in blood... coming to kill me... locked myself in the bathroom... he's gone crazy... he keeps shouting we'll be together forever and he'll never let me go... someone please hel...(The writing trails off the end of the page.) Anon was right, easily the worst writing in the gaem. The overuse of ellipses is just as bad as the concept
they should do one of these but the note is covered in shit
>>737237030Radio is useful in games, because its ways to get dialogue without requiring cutscenes or action.
>>737237030They don't. What it is is a cheap and easy to implement storytelling medium which means the people paying the bills love it.
>>737236560not a game but pic rel is the only time I've seen it done well in media periodits set up that shes a full autismo about writing and detailing notes, so at the very end in her final moments its the only thing her retarded mind can retreat into whilst getting chomped
>Day1>we have captured a wild alligator in the sewers>Day 2>the scientists fed it with the macguffin and it grew to 5x the normal size of an alligator. They also replaced its tail with a chainsaw and attached a machinegun and flamethrower to its back>Day 3It...escaped... [this page is covered in blood]
>>737236340
>the lore is told through audiologs>you cant listen to them while playing>you have to pause the game and go into a menu to listen
>>737237030Because you can listen to them while on the go like a podcast.
>>737237317Literally pokemon
>>737238001Won't that interfere with the podcast I'm already listening to, and the stream on my second monitor?
>there's a corpse lying on the wall with a journal grasped at it's claws>"this is my last passage as I embrace the eternal darkness">"I do so regret not being able to finish my task">"now the treasures of the nimbsy dungeon will never be uncovered by mortal man">"oh woe is me">you have received the key to the nimbsy dungeon>the door is right next to the corpse
>>737238067You can pause those with your streamer deck.
>>737239203>your streamer deckI ain't living in some William Gibson dystopia, anon.
>>737236281Two can play that game.>on a critical stealth infiltration mission with guards on patrol>player character takes the time to read office drama e-mails about fish in the microwave and not refilling the coffee pot after being the one to empty it
>>737236281>>737240778>Quick, if we don't escape this imminently about to explode ship, we're all going to die!>leisurely stroll around looting everything not bolted down>encounter every single enemy, preferably multiple times>get a call from work and pulled away for several hours>forget to pause>come back>about to get back to the game>The War starts>get drafted after finishing clearing out all the rubble>return 7 years later an accomplished Captain>game still running off my UPS, doing the idle yawning animation the entire time>finish escaping>"Thank god we got out in time! We only had seconds left!"
>>737238860This, but the door is locked by a simple logic puzzle a child could solve
>>737236281Rolling on the floor laughing at this post.
>>737236281Where did you get this picture of me?
