Also me.
How? How do you manage to take those stories seriously?Elder Scrolls and Resident Evil. That's pretty much it.
Agreed!!Well currently Xenoblade, in the 3rd game its colliding both 1st and 2nd game’s world together.
Yep, that's the one I can think of. Story is a hugely important component (to me) in a jrpg, but typically the stories are self contained (SMT, Persona, FF, etc). While Xenoblade stories do stand on their own, the overarching story between the games has me extremely interested. Can't wait to see where they go with Xenoblade 3.Well currently Xenoblade, in the 3rd game its colliding both 1st and 2nd game’s world together.
Hmmmm I think I should get into them then, I love anime and that games look pretty so why not?Another one I like to mention is AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES, I never thought I would see the day this game get sequel and Uchikoshi is god damn mad man so I cant wait to see where is gonna take the story.
elder scrolls has by faaaaaar the deepest, best and most interesting lore of any video game series tbh. the presentation of the plot within the latest games is often clumsy, but that's not the only story in there.How? How do you manage to take those stories seriously?
Resident Evil is one of my favorite franchises. But, the story is ridiculous nonsense.
I would never call it trash but RE 8 is yet another victim of Capcom's managment, they want every game to appeal to every taste and change based on this huge market focus group, so instead of just making more VII like other companies would they fucked up the controls again and went for action approach(since gamers like RE4 and all).I cared about RE VII, one of the best games I've played so I went and played Village and what a disappointment, the intro was promising but the rest of the game is absolute trash.
Game ends, I don't want to hear anything about it. Fuck dlcs and other shit fished out of the trash bin. Because most of the time it's a letdown. I spent lots of hours with the game, but after the final scene it's uninstall, good bye. 2 weeks later I don't even remember wtf it was all about. 4 weeks later I don't even know the name of the protagonist. So what about a recap next time you continue your fucking long story in the sequel?Because I just noticed that I haven‘t had any for a long time. I mean, sure, there are still good videogame stories out there but those, to me, are usually self contained stories and by the end I‘m usually not curious to know how the story will be continued.
Looking back this jsed to be quite different for me, especially during the PSone and PS2 era. Metal Gear Solid, Legacy of Kain, Resident Evil, Syphon Filter etc. always kept me pumped for the sequel. Not just because of the game itself but because I wanted to know how the story is goes on and what happens to the characters.
The last ones I remember really caring about are Mass Effect and the Desmond story of AC.
Is it just me or are there barely any more big ongoing plots in the industry?
Same...as great as RE4 was it just felt kind of silly to fast forward right through the demise of Umbrella. I was really hoping they would slow it down a bit and use the new RE2 and RE3 Remakes as a new starting off point to progress the story in a less ridiculous way. Give us a game where Jill tracks down Chris in Europe and let us see what goes on as they try to take down Umbrella.Kinda surprised so many mention RE. I‘m one of the biggest geeks for RE out there since 96. The mainline plot has been either very bad (everything after CV or 4) or completely stagnating since 6. As good as 7 and Village were, they neither introduced any memorable characters or got the RE plot anywhere. I‘m dying for a new big story arc with either the old characters (Jill, Chris, Claire, Leon etc) or new ones.
