Here's something I don't get. Non-gamer millennial hipster douchebags eat up shit like Life is Strange and Gone Home...

Just to entertain your theory, these sorts of games are eaten up by the type of people who unironically read YA novels and think they are good. They go from one series to the next giving them all 10/10s because they cannot comprehend good writing and think conflict & romance = good, no matter how contrived or poorly written. People who enjoy shit literature cannot tell the difference when it comes to shit games, either. Normalfags will always be normalfags, and will never exceed their shit taste. This is a fact of life.

Hella cringe

Books and Movies can't be interacted with unless it's a CYA book or one of these new interactive films Netflix is going like Bandersnatch and Minecraft. I come to games to chill and relax laid back shit like Life is Strange let's me interact with it without being difficult.

Also there is nothing wrong with the writing in Life is Strange. If you like Donnie Darko and Butterfly Effect you will like Life is Strange.

When I want to challenge myself I play a fighting game.

I like hard games too and action oriented games. But there is enough roo in gaming for more than one thing my dude.

If you don't like narrative heavy interactive story games you don't have to play them.
I don't like racing games do you won't see me playing Forza nor will I make a thread crying about why nobody else should like racing games. You faggots that think everyone must enjoy what you enjoy are annoying and insufferable brats who are likely underage.

None of those movies on the bottom are any good though

I agree lol there’s no magic or songs

>Also there is nothing wrong with the writing in Life is Strange.
>Dozens of possible choices
>All of them nullified by both endings

Lord of the rings should only really be admired for the originality of crafting a unique mythology that was so influential it inspired decades of copycats. Tolkien is often criticized for being stiff with his prose. This trait of lotr is also probably the reason why we see such a degeneration of writing excellence today. Lotr was definitely a childhood favorite for a lot of creators today, and that's fine, but much like Harry Potter, you're meant to graduate past that into more complex works.

And?
How does that make the story bad?

>no sequel where Mad Max and her cute Victoria gf ride off into the sunset to help each other heal after the events of the game
Fuck Sean and Daniel, this is the game I want to play.

Have sex

have sex

"No!"

because you can’t

By making most of it pointless.

I'm glad life is strange exists purely for the SFM models

Wow, that's deep

um sweatie, are you open for business??? ;)

Just because its pointless doesn't make it bad writing.

For a second I thought that number is amount of people and it really disgusted me, but then I realized its the place in rating. Whew, my faith in humanity is still teetering on the brink.

Also, why Rashomon and Seven Samurai but no Yojimbo? Whatever...

Because "muh gaming is cool, gotta game but I don't enjoy it so I guess I will play this barely interactive movie"
Fucking last 3 japanese novels were better than Life is Strange and Gone Home by a mile, and those are not even the best ones.

>More than half of the students in my Engl 100 didn't know what verbs, nouns, or adjectives are.
You literally don't need to know what they are though

Dilate.

Writing that wastes the readers' time with pointless things can hardly be considered good.

Games like this are for NPCs.
The kinds of people who hate reading books because they lack the ability to see and hear the characters. For them, it's just a stream of letters and tiring.
These games are the closest they'll ever get to what it feels to read as someone with an inner monologue.

Prove this

You're looking at this in the wrong way
Narrative games don't need to be well written as well as books and movies because you control the characters and their actions and so, unless you have problems or prejudices about the game, you will relate with most characters anyway
This is why literally every horror movie sucks and Dead Space was amazing despite being full of tropes and not having a single line written for Isaac
But yeah, Gone Home was recognized ONLY because the story talked about a lesbian couple because these are the times we are living in today

That trash western game will never get to the level of plot VNs have.

You have missed completely the point OP. They are posers.

Standards for video game stories are pretty damn low. The medium of video games being used to tell a story has only existed for a few decades, still in it's infancy, unlike books which have existed for thousands of years, or film, which has been around for over a hundred years.

If you don't know the fundamentals of your own language, you cannot develop an understanding of good writing, let alone being capable of it.

There's not a single work of art that's as pure as life is strange.

now that is an objectively shit take

Its funny how those sweet children of summer think this garbage is good simply because they didn't taste the actually good stuff.

> they must generally prefer books
>shouldn't they have a sense of what good writing looks like?
clearly you have never held a book yourself, much less read one.

>No capitalization on that sentence.
Clearly you should go back to kindergarten.

How high did you score on your Facebook IQ test?

>So this what makes bookfags
basic fucking literacy?
no, but their absence and subsequent ridicule is what makes a legitimate idiot.

>pureposting

pure cringe is more like it

The journey is more important than the destination.

Was Donnie Darko bad?
Back to the Future?
Butterfly Effect?
Wizard of Oz?

The journey is the fun part. Not the ending.
I actually never watched the final episode of Sons of Anarchy because loved the show that much.

Truly great stories NEVER have good endings.

But only girls can have sex without losing magic powers.

This. If something is really amazing no ending can possibly live up to the journey part of the story.

They don't read good books.

gone home sucks compared to lis

I'd argue that making the choices pointless is bad game design, not bad writing.

The have sex and incel meme started well before summer.
It began as a means of trolling and combating the Captain Marvel outrage thread spam on Yea Forums

See

>book
read a preset story
>game
play the story yourself as the maincharacter

cant help you if you dont understand the difference between readint what a character does, and playing the character yourself though.

Ohohoho, if you only knew

>Truly great stories NEVER have good endings.

That's just fucking false and a stupid hill to die on. There are plenty of great stories with great endings. Wizard of Oz had a great ending. The Sopranos had a great ending. Lord Of The Rings; The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly; Star Wars (original trilogy); Rashomon; Romeo & Juliet; Hamlet; Macbeth; The Dark Knight Returns; Citizen Kane---- I could go on and on. Lots and lots--infact most--get stories have amazing endings you fucking imbeciles.

see
you fucking retard.

Lots of great games have great, meningful endings that are impacted by your decisions. New Vegas, Steins;Gate, Fallout 2, Nier, Chrono Trigger, just to name a few.

Fuck off with your idiotic logic.

KYYAAAAAAA BAKA SENPAI ONICHAN YOOOOOOOO

Tell me why Oz has a good ending but Life doesn't.

>he doesn't immediately recognize the heroine of the greatest lovestory of the 21st century

Attached: i see.jpg (1024x576, 51K)

So now you are backpeddling? Changing from "stories dont need good endings!" to "well Life Is Strange had an ending just as good as Wizard of Oz!"

What a fucking clown you are. Stop moving goalposts and stick with your original point. Prove to me those stories are still great without their endings. Each and every one of them. Go on.

>unique mythology
It's literally just Norse and English mythology with additional paragraphs about grassy hills.

Howard has yet to be surpassed

This. Life is Strange S1 was like The Walking Dead S1. It was fresh with full of good ideas and it came out just in the right time. No similar games could live up to them and the genre stuck in shit.

I think he means standard fantasy tall and eloquent high elves and wood elves (unlike small elves that live in flower pots)+ axe brutish viking inspired dwarves, ect. Things that most games of 2000s copied (i guess as an extension of DnD). Nowdays they just have stupid people with heads like animals tho.

>standard fantasy tall and eloquent high elves and wood elves (unlike small elves that live in flower pots)
... that's what I said.
Alfar in Norse mythology were tall, proud shits.
