I am yet to play a well written indie gameI'm not even talking about a well written narrative or plot or dialogue or anything, just the bare minimum of not being obnoxious, it's maddening, I don't know how people can stand them let alone praise them for writing, what the hell causes this?
Read a book if you want a good story
>>739935949Damn.I guess Haruki Murakami is the best author of all time then.
>>739935846Social contagion and a desire to fit in. People like them because they were told to like them because their friends like it because Toby.
I feel like you probably just have a very narrow definition of 'indie'
>>739935949do you know any good books then?>inb4 mein kampffuck off racist
>>739935989The City & The City by China Mieville
>>739935949>booksPleb take. Read poetry if you care that much about words.
I liked Mundaun, The Last Door and Return of the Obra Dinn off the top of my head. To be honest I can’t really think of a well written AAA game either.
games are incompatible with good writing
>>739935846If you want good writing open a book dipshit.Games are games. Stories in games are window dressing and nothing else.People that actually get swept by stories in games like toby furry's games are either very young or very low IQ
>>739936928or women, who have zero taste in stories and just want emotional porn, but thats a given.
>>739936928If these nigger devs want to write instead of make games they should write books
only good one is Terraria>b-but it has no writing exactly
>>739938959>the blonde nurse is in love with the black thiefI don't think so
>>739935846>games>good writinghuh? No video game has good writing
>>739936426San Andreas.

>>739935949>>739935989>>739936928Games have better writing than books.
You're either a newfag or use to be underage but now probably like 23 or something.
>>739939263You should read a book sometimes because you seem to be illiterate
>>739939638even if you can read a book, you can still be functionally illiterate anon.
They ALL have that modern disease of self-aware internet writing even if they don't explicitly show it, even stuff that thinks takes itself seriously is still written with that layer of embarrassment and trope consciousness that you simply don't see in old games that screams "heh I'm a little indie game don't go too hard on me"
>>739939410WRONGdoesn't matter if it's code, music, writing, art, etc. gaming gets all the rejects who couldn't make it in the real field.
>>739939410lol
>>739939681I know what you mean, I wish I was stupid and didnt notice it but I do
>>739939839exactly. games have less academiacucks trying to flex their prose. therefore better writing.
>>739939384Try the notebook trilogy
>>739936286I read it and wasn't quite sure if there was legit magic or if the characters had actually just lobotomized themselves so hard they really bought into the two-city gimmick. Seemed more like the latter but that strained my credulity more than actual magic.
>>739935846What's a game with good writing for you?Give me a standard.>>739935949If you don't want a story go play Pong, retard.If the game has a narrative element and that element is shit, then the game is shit. It's that simple.
books are only good for non fiction, I need to see the big tittied girl in the story in front of me at all times oh yeah any story without a big tittied girl is not worth reading
>>739936928>>739937073>>739937240Subhuman cattle take.If you only care about gameplay you should get the fuck out of your room and go do an activity in real life instead of a fake digital activity.
>>739940516That makes zero sense, gameplay is nothing like what I can do physically, completely different skillset
>>739935846Maybe you just have a mental defect that results in you getting annoyed too easily? Like at a certain point you surely have to be smart enough to realize that the issue is you, right?Or does that take too much self-reflection for the average 4chaner?
>>739940545You're right, in fact it's better. Compare Pong to Ping Pong. The latter is clearly infinitely superior.Like sword combat? Just go do HEMA.Picking the digital activity over the real one is subhuman cattle behaviour.The only reason for games to exist is if they have artistic value, which elevates the human spirit.
>>739935846the desolate hope, its free too
>>739940764No it isnt playing videogames is a completely different skill than doing the thing in real life one does not replace the other also I cant go do street racing in a car in real life for a random exampleAre you pretending to be retarded? whatever
>>739935846>he doesn't like goofy writingmaybe 8-bit styled rpgs are not for you
>>739940807It's not about the skill, retard, it's about the meaning in the activity. A copy will always be nothing more than a copy. If you prefer the copy to the original you're a subhuman.Sure you can do street racing. People all over the world do it illegally. Or go to a circuit and race karts. There are even cheap renting kart championships, you have zero excuses.
If every indie game you have played have obnoxious writing maybe you are the one who is obnoxious
>>739935989How about my struggle by Adolph H.?Read ten little indians or murder on the orient express. I was so hooked by the former I couldn't stop reading. You can read some light novels too if you want JP stuff. I've started reading the monogatari books and they are really good.
>>739941004The meaning is to have fun and aim to improve because men enjoy to get gud at things, videogames offer more variety in things to do and in strategies to think about, you are definitely pretending to be retarded so Im done replying
>>739941004You can play Pong but can you kill a dragon irl?>i-i cannice try, but dragons aren't realGame where you kill dragon >> Pong
>>739941219Killing a dragon is not gameplay, it's writing, it's mechanically no different than smashing a pinata irl
>>739941308>j-just smash a pinata it's the same thing hahaThat's a copy of the experience of slaying a dragon. It doesn't compare to having superhuman abilities and killing a beast like Shadow of Collosus. Your pinata isn't a giant beast. Next you'll say having superhuman flight is the same as being in an airplanezzZ.
>>739941076Cattle mentality.
>>739941004I cannot dogfight jets in real life becausea.) Aeiral combat like that does not exist anymoreb.) I do not meet the physical/mental requirements in order to have the minute chance to become a jet pilot in the militaryc.) stealing one is nigh impossibleSo what the fuck do you expect me to do that isn't just a simulcara?
>>739941208Then get better at a real activity, retard.Fish, hike, drive cars, ride bikes... whatever will be better than any digital activity.>>739941219That's where narrative comes in, genius.I swear you people are mouthbreathers.And second, yes, you can't fight a dragon with a sword and shield but it's better to fight another human doing HEMA than fighting a fake dragon digitally.The fact that you don't understand this is why you are a subhuman.
>>739935846Cave story
>>739941840>So what the fuck do you expect me to do that isn't just a simulcara?I expect you to do the thing that is the closest in real life DUH.This used to be common sense. People have lost touch with reality, sadly.
>>739941910bro, fighting a human is nothing like fighting a giant beast. You're settling for a copy. I don't even know what to tell you...you're coping hard that you can't fight a dragon.
>>739941961>I expect you to do the thing that is the closest in real life DUH.So video games then you fucking retard
>>739941991real fight not with a dragon>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>fake fight with a dragon>>739941994No. Get a plane license.
>I am yetLol esl scum whining about writing
>>739942053Flying a plane normally (or even stunt flying a plane) is not an analogous activity to dogfighting. Virtual dogfighting > irl nothing flights.
>>739942198You are trying to argue with someone who is either a manosphere retard, or a paid bad actor.
>>739942057Ironic
>>739941929Seconded.Also la Mulana. Kenshi. Xenonauts.
>>739935846>The music in that movie sucked>IF YOU WANT GOOD MUSIC LISTEN TO AN ALBUM>The art in this game sucks>IF YOU WANT GOOD ART GO TO A MUSEUM it never ends!!!
>>739935846>I am yet to play a well written indie gameNine SolsCyber Shadow
>>739942837do you know any good museums then?
>>739943518No the ones in my city play faggot propaganda on loop
>>739935846See the problem is that you find anything above a 5th-grade reading level obnoxious and obviously anything below that will not have good writing unless you're a 5th grader so I guess all writing will kinda suck for you.
>>739939384Filtered
>>739942198>>739942524If you really think flying a plane in real life is worse than playing Ace Combat you are subhumans.There's no point in talking to human dregs who defend being slaves, you will never understand.
>>739943518The Brera gallery was good. Vatican too. Scrovegni chapel by Giotto.
>>739944379shut the fuck up already you retarded motherfucker
>>739943518Here's an example.
>>739944527Don't talk to me, inferior.
>>739935846
>>739944379>human: 5ft tall>dragon:lool
