It's an safe and timeless enemy design, nobody would ever say no to fighting a dragon boss.
How does it even happen that a fictional design becomes so universally recognised? Is it just from the merit of being good or is it more about being invented early enough to spread more?
Culturally significant. All cultures have dragons, more or less.
Probably because of west’s influence. The dragons we know and love are depiction of the dragons in European myth.
I would say no if it's a fromsoft game, the camera sucks ASS it's the fricking WORST, it's never fun to fight large ennemies in these games.
>big
>capable of flight
>and firebreathing somehow
it'd be hard to imagine dragons that weren't the apex in any universe
picture for scale
Crabs are the ultimate lifeform in any universe.
why is that
Ignore this redditor.
There is some gay "I LOVE SCIENCE" theory that all live will eventually evolve into a crab. Its stupid.
Theory? Carcinization is observable.
Gay moron. The theory states that crustaceans specifically will evolve into a common crab shape instead of a lobster or hermit crab like form. It does not state that all life will follow this path, this is just redditor homosexual morons being unable to read without exaggerating to the nth degree.
If it's a gay "I love science" theory why do you know so much about it? Anyway given your likely non-human passing physique you're probably just angry that you can see your own arms curve inwards and your thumb growing. Not my problem
My wife's cousin is a fat female phd incel who talks abut this stupid shit nonstop in person
Okay Sling.
That's like saying mammals tend to evolve into 'horse shape' very often because of all the ungulates.
Thats wrong though. Humans always beat them, and nowdays the hardest bosses are more often humanoids.
Ughhhhhh
Grug throw rock
Rock kill big lizard
>what if lizard fight back?
Ughhhh throw more rock
Think about your current level of morality being just an average human. You're likely not peak performance physically nor mentally, at least from a statistical standpoint, yet your ego soars and pride swells completely unfitting for its vessel much like the bellowing throat of a toad. Now imagine that you could back it up, that you could simply take, plunder, maim and rule impenitently, your intelligence might actually match the average person or go beyond it, and physique wise you're gigantic and a machine of muscle and in most cases the ability to interact with elements like spewing fire and such. Imagine the sheer volume of your own ego and pride.
Obviously they're bad because they're like israelites and like coins.
You get a lot of friendly dragons in souls series
>dragon who tried to save their best friend from an existence as a literal tumor of death
>bad
why do we kill him then?
So that Fia can frick their friends corpse
N-no! She doesn't frick (corpses)! Fia is PURE!
greedy powerful things are always bad guys.
Dragons are cute
The only dragon fight in a videogame that felt like a dragon fight was grigori's.
Grigori isn't necessarily a straight up 'bad guy', just the antagonist of the majority of the game and ultimately just a function of the way the world works
>dragons didin du nuffin wrong
Okay seneschal
We are the bad guy in this fight.
We are helping an evil woman while the dragon is defending his best friend's corpse.
Western dragons are symbols of power, terror and wealth
Eastern dragons are symbols of wisdom, knowledge, luck and immortality
Ancient Dragon Lansseax did nothing wrong
>Eyelashes
More like Lansex.
uhm
Anybody who needs a dragon to turn into a human in order to be attractive doesn't deserve a dragon in the first place
True believers understand that it would be pissing on perfection
hot
> Why are videogame dragons always bad guys?
Because some proto-indo-europeans 5000 years ago killed a big snake and made it a foundational part of their mythos
>Are they bad in reality?
Nope, I’ve met several dragons in real life and they’re all good people
>Why are videogame dragons always bad guys?
>posts a good guy
>Are they bad in reality?
Yes
>60 serrated teeth
>anticoagulant venom
>bite guarantees lethal infection
>can follow you for weeks by smelling blood infection
>can only run directly forward because swerving is for gays
>Are they bad in reality?
What an idiot. He actually think a dragon can be good in REAL life? How embarrassing.
Video game dragons are cowards, and cowards are bad guys
>fly away at the first sign of trouble
>do nothing but drive-by breath attacks
>hover out of range of every weapon the game gives the player and spam magic bullshit
Dragons are Black folk, and I make it a point to kill every single one I encounter in any game.
Good thread.
We need more games with dragons a partners to the protagonist.
Think scale-bound bot not apparently shit.
>scale-bound
Wasn't that game revived just not too long ago?
>partners
Eh. I'd rather it be more like Spryo where the dargon's the sole main.
Yes. Now go kill Paarthurnax already
they are the spawn of Satan, of course they are the bad guys
>in reality
Need more dargons in videogames.
