>Bad guys are bad>good guys are good>let's just shoot and kill them>haha funny Is his writing so bad compared to modern games?
killing is not bad
>>740138140>dudeeee its just a game bruh who cares about the story>you really gonna discuss video game story in my video game? what are you a fucking nerd?beat it loseryes, 45 year old man, this will make me want to buy your game
>>740138140Emil's problem isn't that his stories can be boiled down to incredibly simple dynamics with no nuance, it's that he's a pretentious fuckhead. His best writing is when he stops pretending he can write anything other than un-nuanced good faction bad faction and just runs with it.
>>740138140>starfield was supposed to be 2 generations ahead graphically and technologically>its story was supposed to be so good it would be a divine experience that makes you believe in (the christian) god>the game wasn't even supposed to START until NG+
>>740138446and they were right, Starfield does have better writing than all their previous games. It just isnt good enough though.
>>740138362>invite literally only retarded mongs as playtests>be surprised when nobody gives a shit
>>740138140>Bad guys are bad>good guys are good>let's just shoot and kill them>haha funny
>>740138140Uhhh.... his writing is literally "bad guys are bad until they good guys, because that's why."I can handle a bad story, but this retardation was too much even for me.
>>740138140>Is his writing so bad compared to modern games?Not enough trannies and crustbusting sex.
>>740138640I dunno if he's improved since Fallout 4 and his talk from 2017, but at least back then, he seemed to legitimately not understand what theme is.Like he thought the theme of Fallout 4 was "paranoia", and the only thing required to achieve this was to have a few robot people that look like humans. Boom, "paranoia" is the theme. He doesn't seem to have realized that you actually need to *say something* about paranoia for it to be a fully formed theme. What does the story say about what makes people paranoid? What does it say about how people act when paranoid? What does it say about what paranoia does to people? Nothing. He just threw it in like a pinch of salt and let the rest of the story be a generic "save the cat" plot.
>>740138640>walls of text info dumps that are totally unnatural unrealistic and basically DM telling you ideologies rather than using your visual medium to show itutterly pathetic atleast the main plot of fallout 4 had a significance to the region , and served a purposein new vegas fucking nothing happens, they dont even exist in any region but their camp
Emil did nothing wrong.
>>740138381>un-nuanced good faction bad faction and just runs with it.That's better than 95% of what's been released in the last decade
>>740138901Are you aware that you're just fighting strawmen of your own creation.
>>740138901See also how he thought Oblivion's Dark Brotherhood was "rooted in Catholic inspirations", then elaborates that it's just because they have a statue they call mom.
>>740138362>Great American Novel>every story of his basically boils down to “find family member” with shitty twistsBethesda dialogue is hot trash as well so you can’t even get invested in that front.
video game stories are almost always dumb. THe big offender is when it doesnt make sense in the game, like in skyrim you are a vampire hunter and you find a vampire with an elder scroll and you escort them to the vampire king. like excuse me what? you are a vampire hunter and your character decides to taxi vampire girl with powerful artifact to vampire headquarters?I mean its an open world game where you are presumably suppose to make your own choices but your character is forced into this choice. OK so they had a story to tell, but the story doesnt even make sense?If they story is going to be nonsensical anyways then let me make my own choices, like kill her take elder scroll back to vampire hunter castle and skip meeting count dracula. wtf
>>740138140I genuinely hate this faggot
>>740138140vgh my bröthers, trve, pvre, classical, traditional storytelling. tödd keeps the wokes out
>>740138140Is this the Trivago guy?Good on him for branching out.
>>740140202>atleast the main plot of fallout 4 had a significance to the region , and served a purposeWhat purpose did it serve?
>>740138140Ah yes, Emil Pagliarulo, creator of the concept of Good versus Evil. No other piece of media on the planet has ever been that way until Emil showed up.
>>740138140
>>740141901Are we just pretending to be retarded now?
>>740141723This but unironically. Nuance is easily subverted by leftists, but they can't subvert simple, good vs evil narratives.
>>740141438>I mean its an open world game where you are presumably suppose to make your own choicesElder Scrolls has never been that and I don't understand why people still pretend it is in arguments. Arena and Daggerfall were dungeon crawlers, that's the franchise's origins future games never really deviated from. It's why Morrowind barely has any choices in the quests themselves beyond accepting them or not. It's why Oblivion and yes, Skyrim, are the same. It's why that excuse doesn't work for Fallout, a franchise whose focus in the first two games was build-based narrative player choice.They might have more detailed worlds outside the caves and more resources allocated to NPC dialogue, but TES games never stopped being primarily dungeon crawlers with thin stories built around that.
>>740138770i... wtf is happening in picrel ? i thought she was a woman
>>740138140https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLPC00BQ5N4
>>740142152Thats because universal good vs bad stories are for everyone? Why do you think Zelda Is almost 50/50 between guys and girls dumbo
>>740142370>we're now pretending Cyberscam was good
>>740142414Look at Morrowind. Clearly a story about how globalism and immigration are evil and how racism is good, but leftists think it's about "muh imperialism".
>>740138140Emil has written some pretty good quest lines like the Oblivion Dark Brotherhood. A quest line that most people, even on /v/, have praised. The guy has his moments.
>>740142576>"The guy has his moments">last moment had: 2006/2011>date (current): 2006+20
>>740142576He also wrote the crimson pirates in starfield one of the most praised quests in the game. He's just really good at writing bad guys but if you ask him to do anything else he fails at it and that's fine. Just dont make him lead writer.
>>740142903>the crimson pirates in starfield>one of the most praised quests in the game
>>740143657How do you know it wasn't? Did you play Starfield?
>>740141438You can take her to the vampire hunter base and the leader tells you to play along.
>>740138140>you need to go see the clown Pagliarulo
I preferred Emil as a map designer than as a writer.https://thief.fandom.com/wiki/Emil_Pagliarulo
>>740138362The defining characteristics of narcissist personality disorder are inability to admit fault and an unwarranted sense of self importance. I. e overrating personal achievements, workplace performance and impact of decisions made when working on projects.Emil Pagliarulo has demonstrated all of these over the years over and over.
I wonder how cucked ES6 is gonna be.
