Not even just “cringe” lines, but stuff that completely kills tone or feels like it belongs in a different genre entirely.I’ve been seeing more scenes lately where the writing goes way over the top, like characters reacting in ways that don’t match what’s actually happening, or dialogue that feels more like fanfic than something grounded in the game’s world.What do you think causes this? Bad direction? Writers not matching gameplay tone? Or just devs trying too hard to be edgy?
>>737739853They actually, unironically had a character voice act this straight to your character's face.
>>737739971that's based though
>>737739853References to other media usually kill the tone dead. It's as if the writer (or localizer, in most cases) is sticking his head in the frame like the Toasty! guy in MK.
>>737739971Literally nothing wrong with thatSides I will NOT tolerate any Trask slander, dude was a bro
>>737739853>Mmf! Yes! Right! There! MMF! AH! YES! YYYES!!! OH GODDDS YESSSSSS!! SHEATHE YOUR F*CKING SWORD IN ME <3<3<3!!What the fuck? What did i just read?
>>737739971my man you have based ass Trask the literal god who understands he is in a video game teaching you how to play, show some love
>>737739853>a booga booga booga
>>737740535Erotica is most written by people who can't write.
>>737740665I mean it’s Final Fantasy, the games never really had good writing to begin with
>>737739853>stuff that completely kills tone or feels like it belongs in a different genre entirely.The sex scenes in Divinity: Original Sin 2 are read out loud by the narrator. Who is an old man. It's an experience.
>>737740102>References to other mediaI like that tho
>>737740535Slop written by a poo most likely
>>737740535Writing good erotic dialogue takes skill.

>>737741050All Margherita’s chains and fetters are chiming, black skirt furled back to her waist, stockings pulled up tight in classic cusps by the suspenders of the boned black rig she’s wearing underneath. How the penises of Western men have leapt, for a century, to the sight of this singular point at the top of a lady’s stocking, this transition from silk to bare skin and suspender! It’s easy for non-fetishists to sneer about Pavlovian conditioning and let it go at that, but any underwear enthusiast worth his unwholesome giggle can tell you there is much more here—there is a cosmology: of nodes and cusps and points of osculation, mathematical kisses… singularities! Consider cathedral spires, holy minarets, the crunch of trainwheels over the points as you watch peeling away the track you didn’t take… mountain peaks rising sharply to heaven, such as those to be noted at scenic Berchtesgaden… the edges of steel razors, always holding potent mystery… rose thorns that prick us by surprise… even, according to the Russian mathematician Friedmann, the infinitely dense point from which the present Universe expanded… In each case, the change from point to no-point carries a luminosity and enigma at which something in us must leap and sing, or withdraw in fright. Watching the A4 pointed at the sky—just before the last firing-switch closes—watching that singular point at the very top of the Rocket, where the fuze is… Do all these points imply, like the Rocket’s, an annihilation? What is that, detonating in the sky above the cathedral? beneath the edge of the razor, under the rose?
>>737739853>>737740535This is genuinely bad, who is this suppose to appeal to?>>737740701>>737740997>>737741050>>737741101>>737741178Erotica is mostly written by nerd virgins then. Good to know
>>737741050Such a slender child: her throat swallowing, strummed to a moan as he grabs her hair, twists it... she has him all figured out. Knows exactly when to take her mouth away and stand up, high-heeled Parisian slippers planted to either side of him, swaying, hair softly waving forward to frame her face, repeated by the corset darkly framing her pubic mound and belly. Raising bare arms, little Bianca lifts her long hair, tosses her little head to let the mane shiver down her back, needle-tipped fingers drifting then down slowly, making him wait, down over the satin, all the shiny hooks and laces, to her thighs. Then her face, round with baby-fat, enormous night-shadowed eyes comes swooping in as she kneels, guides his penis into her and settles slow, excruciating till he fills her, stuffs her full...Now something, oh, kind of funny happens here. Not that Slothrop is really aware of it now, while it’s going on—but later on, it will occur to him that he was—this may sound odd, but he was somehow, actually, well, inside his own cock. If you can imagine such a thing. Yes, inside the metropolitan organ entirely, all other colonial tissue forgotten and left to fend for itself, his arms and legs it seems woven among vessels and ducts, his sperm roaring louder and louder, getting ready to erupt, somewhere below his feet... maroon and evening cuntlight reaches him in a single ray through the opening at the top, refracted through the clear juices flowing up around him. He is enclosed. Everything is about to come, come incredibly, and he’s helpless here in this exploding emprise... red flesh echoing... an extraordinary sense of waiting to rise...She posts, his pretty horsewoman, face to the overhead, quivering up and down, thightop muscles strung hard as cable, baby breasts working out the top of her garment...
>>737739853>>737740535>>737740701>>737740728>>737740997>>737741360I'll just leave this here...
>>737743418>Your critique of fucking terrible erotica is invalid because you yourself don't write the most autistic fetished retarded shit possible yourself!Hmm.
>>737743418Personally I liked Roosevelt's quotes about hyphenated Americans and Amerindians more.
>>737739853Veilguard is a goldmine for this
>>737741050Witness peak bioware writing
楽しい宴会でしたね
>>737739853Been playing frosthaven with some buddies, and while we're still early, that game has some cringe millennial writing.
The way some NPCs talk in Elder Scrolls, specifically Oblivion does not make me feel like I'm in a fantasy world at all sometimes.
>>737744453Have you heard of the high elves?
>>737739853>>737740535Why is millennial writing so cringe? And why do they always write these “le quirky and dorky” types of characters in their games?
>>737739853Alex(Alyx?)'s jokes in the episodes. They are cringe but honestly that is kinda charming that's the point. However they are just feel weird in a game like Half-Life, especially 2. Zombine? Cute, but so out of place.
>>737739853how's the new chapter of Aura Clash?and what's the best style?
>>737739853>>737744953Writing is unbelievably cringe, gonna have to drop it.It tries way too hard to be humorous, and the pop cultural references are just lame.Unironically going to stick with VNs and the like now
>>737740986That book changed my life, man.
