Can any platformer's series lore even compare to Kirby's?
Your jif is broken
>>11055330That's what I wanted you to think
>>11056325Fix your jif, skippy.
>>11055330>>11056341I have to physically restrain myself from punching people who pronounce gif with a soft G.
I mean, I'd hardly call an endboss making some reference to a past game "deep lore", but whatever.
>>11055330Or is it...?Check your task manager
>>11055324Half Life
>>11055324Sonic
>>11055324Bubble Bobble
Mega Man/thread
>>11057563Youre fat lol
>>11058776He likes his jif extra creamy
>>11057903>SonicAt least Kirby respects its lore pretty deeply. Sonic lore is one giant fucking mess that you're better off ignoring
>>11055324The game you have in your image didn't do it for lore, but to reenforce it's theme, with how it possesses others while Kirby befriends them. The later games' director has focused more on lore and used references to past entries to build it, but despite him admitting that his games were inspired by Kirby's Adventure, those came later, where-as Kirby 64 (and two other games, by extension) were directed by a different person.

If you like lore in platformers, there's some good shit buried under Kirby, Mega Man and Sonic.There's other good ones too, but I'd be here all day.
>>11060126Sonic lore is great when the games can be bothered to remember it has lore. Frontiers obviously isn't retro but I really enjoyed all the nods to prior games, and the reveal about where the Chaos Emeralds came from.
Klonoa plots might as well be JRPGs
>>11057757Half-Life isn't a pure platformer by any means, tons of sections with no platforming but lots of shooting and vice versa, it's why the term shootformer became so popular.
>>11061174I wish we had more 2d games in this era
>>11057563You mean like giraffe or gin or ginger or ginormous? Why are those fine but not gif which is very similar? GI is often done in a soft g.
>boss in cute game isnt cute>OMIGAWD DEEPLORE WHAT IS THE DARK SECRET THIS GAME HIDES IN ITS METADATA
>>11061326What's worse is that HAL Laboratory is obviously pandering to these people now and have been for years. Kirby lore has gotten so cringeworthy due to it.
>>11061193makes sense
>>11061323You'd have an argument if the g didn't stand for graphics which has a hard g.
>>11061323>Jraphics Interface Format
>>11064906>>11063665These
>>11055324Mario honestly has decent lore. It's interesting to think that Mario is probably deceased by the time of the first Donkey Kong Country.
>>11068098Not really, other than having some common characters and themes these games are basically stand alone excluding direct sequels. The only common thing between DKC and Mario is that Cranky might be Donkey Kong from the original game and Mario might be jumpman. Any thought more than that is Zelda timeline level bullshit.
>>11060568pointless "deep cut" references isnt good writing>wow, that drop of water felt just like the one from hydrocity zone in sonic the hedgehog 3!
>>11057563When I call it a jif nobody understands me.Also when I say application instead of app people look mystified.
