You seem to think video games not being real life is an excuse for shit writing, which means your have a very low IQ.

Because most people haven't dealt with someone bleeding out in real life and it's always done as you described in movies for the drama.

I've only seen two games where it made sense:
>RE1, where the guy is just a regular journal writer and his entries get more fucked up as he begins succumbing to the virus
>System Shock 2, where a lot of the audio journals are sensible, like 'I got shot and I'm dying with nothing else to do, so I need to leave my team a final message,' or the madlad at the end of the game who knows he's getting ingested by The Many and keeps audio logs to further science for anyone who finds them

And half credit to Until Dawn where Hannah is doing a journal as she turns into a Wendigo because what the fuck else was there to do while she's trapped in the bottom of that cave?

Too many modern games use it as a crutch for lazy, shitty writing and because doing a 'Help, they're eating me!' journal is cheaper than having a cutscene where the guy gets eaten.

The only lame thing about that part is how lame it was in the RE1 Remake.
>finish reading journal
>camera spins to look at closet
>full second or two of nothing
>doors open casually
>zombie just standing there
>zombie AI gets activated and gameplay resumes

In the original game, that dude comes flying out of there all piss and vinegar and it scares the shit out of you because nothing sets it up. The remake should've done it one of two ways:
>closet can be checked
>'Do you want to open it?'
>nothing inside/remake fake out for fans
>but then when you try to leave, a zombie busts through the door back into the hallway and surprises you
Or
>closet doors are open and empty when you get into the room
>oh fuck, where is he?
>read journal, prepare to leave
>just before you pass the bed, zombie hand reaches out from underneath the bed and grabs your ankle, zombie gets up and blocks your way out

Anything would've been better than what they did in the remake.

Two words isn't what OP is talking about, idiot.

If that message in your pick was a paragraph, THEN you could use it as an example.

Leaving the name of your killer written in your own blood for someone to find and get vengeance on your behalf is based, though.

The RE1 remake is legitimately good though, and I'd consider it the definitive edition of RE1. (Even Mikami said so.) It also came from the mid-2000s, well before the remake/remaster meme train took off.

I didn't know about any of that, I don't touch crapcom demakes.
A remake is only good in my book if it lets you play the original, or unlocks the original upon completion of the remake, or only improves graphics while adding quality of life improvements. That's it. I've never seen a remake that changed the game deeply that also was superior to the original game.
Well maybe system shock 1 remake deserves a pass because it didn't simplify the level and mission design to make it retardproof. However the recycling can fuck off.

I am, and IIRC they were able to pull off some really smart graphics tricks by using prerendered stuff in combination with sparse 3D models for certain props, and with the limited number of enemies on the screen at once, they can make the ones that are on screen look a lot better.

No you retard, He's saying why the fuck are you going to spend the last few seconds of your life to leave a message and IN THE MESSAGE waste your last bit of energy describing that you're dying and losing blood or whatever instead of just saying what you wanna say.

Your image is a great example of what you SHOULD DO. Write the fucking killers name, or something important, then die. Instead imagine if that person used their blood to write "dying...losing blood fast....everything is going black...the killer...he....*dies*.

That's fucking stupid.

There was a funny bit in a show where they drugged guys so they'd pass out and then send in a "murderer" to roleplay and their buddy had to read their dying message and figure out who the killer was.

It is. Video games aren't simulation of reality, what you think should be a breakthrough in storytelling is just coat dressing in reality.

Technically, if they're dying from blood loss, they're probably not thinking straight, and there's a point when you think you can keep writing, but can't, and end up dropping the pen or whatever. Watch someone super tired try to write things while fighting off sleep, it's basically the same thing.

Does suck when writers use vagueness and/or a complete lack of information as a substitute for actual writing though. Half the time they're too stupid to do it right, and the other half of the time they're just too afraid that someone might figure out the twist too early so they lean on the "the killer is-" cutoffs.
>killer's a mystery in a game/movie/show/book
>people die over time as the story progresses
>killer's finally revealed and nobody watching/playing/reading guesses correctly
>even starting over from the beginning reveals nothing, the best hint is maybe some vague suggestion of what could be a Chekov's Gun, and even studying the character directly to look for hints barely reveals anything out of the norm
>meanwhile the writer's on Twitter all smug about how nobody could figure it out, that people weren't looking "close enough"
