Great gameplay, but some of the worst writing in all of vidya. They make you sit there and do nothing while the dialogue plays out too. I always turn the volume to 0.
Zanzibarto is actually Gwynaketh's son whom xe fathered in secret alongside Mikela because he feared for xis life. If you had listened to the prerelease podcast vatii put out you'd know this
When it comes to videogame narratives context is important and storytelling not so much. Souls games have frick all of either.
Yeah it's got world building but why the frick is my character fighting through these horrors?
People like fake depth more than actual depth. But I will admit some people will not care about the story of a game and it’s good that you can skip most of it unlike most games now which will force their story to the determinant of the gameplay
Also want to add that dark souls method of story telling and world building is no different to any other game that tells most of its story through audio log pick ups
If your game doesn't offer an explanation nor story as to why you are playing through it then it's a shit game. All games should have a bit of story and narrative to engage the player not just be a shitty boring boss rush #51340328.
Soulsgays are so incapable of taking criticism that this dumb frick's sole decent tweet still rattles around in your heads. Even though he immediately showed his belly and apologized 5 minutes later.

Oof...ACK...Ah...That really hurts....is that what that feels like.....Wow, that kinda actually sucks....Zanzibart...You there buddy? Yeah. If you can hear me, looks like I'm finally kicking the can. Not a literal can, like, GAH...it’s a metaphor because my guts are spilling out all over the pla-nah I'm sure you know what I mean you were always a smart cookie. ANYWAY! I just gotta say one thing before I bite it, that's another metaphor bee-tee dubs, okay, here it is. Ahh what did doc Tern say? "Revivalign your central chakras and release traumatic stress...." Yeah that was it...Okay Zanziman, here it is. I'm dropping one more bomb on you on my way out. I ate your Pimentaco. The one you kept in the dashboard. I KNOW I KNOW! Typical, right? Well, it'd mean alot, like ALOT, if you'd just forgive me for it, this one last time.....GAHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh......

This is taking a LITTLE longer than I had thought, care to do me a solid Vault Hunter and put me out of my misery? If not that's totally cool I mean I did TRY to kill you but obviously that didn't work out so well. Look, not biggie, just in horrible, agonizing pain over here?
No? Alight. Cool. Cool. ACkACkGUAahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....Castle......AHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhh.....Heh............
How butthurt do you think this guy is that his one twitter shitpost was more memorable and created more discussion than any line of dialogue from any Borderlands game?
Yes. We used to call these "action games" before zoomers showed up and decided they are all now "souls" games. "Castlevania on the NES? Yeah, bro, totally a platforming Souls game. What a rip off".
Maybe if gigantic cutscenes and 4+ hours of recorded voice talent had more substance to them than "we spent entire story to figure out that bad things are bad and good things are good", then Dark Souls-esque storytelling wouldn't be so ground breaking and universally praised.
Vague writing that gives the player room to theorize is more engaging than explaining every detail of the lore. The Adventure Time writers fricked this up hard and I'm still disappointed.
Grass is green
What about bluegrass then genious?
>Kentucky Bluegrass
>is not from Kentucky
>is not blue
>pic
Who is that helmet wearing asian girl? She is there pretty often.
Sometimes it's not even grass, it's just hillbillies playing the banjo.
that guy worked on borderlands and think his games are way better
borderlands is dog water for mouth breathers, doesn’t make him wrong though.
>Dog water
homosexual
He did not say that.

Takes a shit writer to identify a shit writer
He said his own writing was shit?
Borderlands 3 has objectively shit writing
yea but what does that have to do with fromsoftware?

Can you stop making the same thread hundreds of times a year for years on end like a mentally ill person
>Like a mentally ill person
>Like
OP just IS mentally ill
This tweet inspired thousands of hours of ad-laden, crowdfunded, nonsensical video essays
What's revolutionary about that?
Small minders will think your vague, lazy writing is super deep when its really just vague and lazy.
Is that why small minders keep posting this tweet because it makes them feel smart?
Sure but Dark Souls didn't invent vague, lazy writing
Less is more when it comes to videogame narratives. You don't want to pull a nu-God of War, or be making some TLOU tier pretentious bullshit..

how about you pay attention to the story?
god of war lost 🙂

>be playing through AC6
>come across no less than 3 different "Zanzibart forgive me" moments
>burst into treats every time
For me the only true zanzibart moment was Raven showing up
You'd have to specify but a lot of that comes back around to, y'know, written out logs and stuff. That someone at fromsoft had to write.
Every character mentioned by name except for Dolmayan's schizo coral waifu shows up directly at some point
No one complained about the lack of story/narrative in games like Ico or Yume Nikki.
those games don’t have a dedicated group of trannies to make threads 24/7
That's because those fanbases don't have endless legions of tards spamming every site and proclaiming their games to be the second coming.
also I’m trans btw
You know what, you're completely right, and I agree with you one hundred perce-
Oh, nevermind.
don't know about ico but everyone felated shadow of the colossus back in the day.
Yes. We used to call these "action games" before zoomers showed up and decided they are all now "souls" games. "Castlevania on the NES? Yeah, bro, totally a platforming Souls game. What a rip off".
>borderlands writer
>unintentionally wrote the only funny thing he will ever write
It didn't really do that, system shock was doing environmental storytelling and item flavour text exposition way before Dark Souls was a thing.
Looking glass was too good for this world.
