Is there a game with a sick lore like Bionicle?

If I remember correctly, the pit is a prison of sorts, so it would make sense that it's located at mata nui's crotch, as moat of the beings that exist there are giant dicks.

Isn't the map of Xenoblade the corpse of a giant or something? I never played it so don't ask me if the lore is any good

how old are you bionicle faggots

there's a wiki where you can find every informations you want, also i suggest you to read the comics, they're quite nice

i'm 26

I'm watching the video, it looks amazing.

I remember that I went through the dark ages around the time the Bionicle series was launched.

I'm more interested in System and Technic, I'm entering the Mindstorms realm now.

But this whole Bionicle thing is calling my attention. The world building looks amazing.

Old enough to party, head ass

It's pretty fucking wild to be lore for a fucking lego toy line. Greg went a bit over the top with some of the later additions to the story, but all in all it's pretty neat.

I guess that scans. 20 years ago I dismissed bionicle as shit for 6 year olds.

Xenoblade C1 yeah
Xenoblade C2 has continents that are actually colossi, which are actually reborn blades (aka the gacha waifu crap) with their memory erased because god went "lol yeah that's your destiny" or something. Though for a reason or another they're dying and they're not getting replaced, so there's political tension and shit.

Bethesda wastes it.

The fuck is bionicle? It looks like bionicles are robots but everything around them is organic and tribal, it doesn't make any sense.

all they need is for another writer to drop acid or something.

They are sort of robots in a post-apocalyptic world, but it's not that obvious in the two or three movies most people watched.

bionicle is short for biological chronicle. They're basically half biological, half robot with some weird magical powers thrown in for good meassure.

well user wanted some explanation for mata-nui's body so i gave him 2008, but let's be honest both years were amazing and probably the best of all

What ever happened to the spiders that transformed their prey into angsty deviantart furries? I can barely even find information about them on the internet.

the ones with the disc launchers on their backs?

The actual Bionicle sets went to shit the moment they decided to add flavor of the month weapons instead of action features.

I really missed the gears but I think the trade off between them and having enemies that weren't exactly the same looking but a different color palate is worth it.

Okay I fucked around with Bionicle when I was a kid but where would I begin if I wanted to get into the series and its lore RIGHT NOW.

The Visorak were disbanded on Metru Nui by Vakama, then later called using an artifact to a single island, where the Toa trapped them to wipe them all out in an instant via volcanic eruption, rendering the species extinct.
They were later re-made by Makuta after he took over, then released into the restored world as wild beasts following his defeat.

Yeah there was that beachside workout area or something. I remember a DJ stand too.
Boss fights and puzzling/platforming was generally fun. I can’t remember any negative experiences with the game. Just comfy all around, but not quite the setting I would expect from the comics.

It's a pretty heavily abbreviated summary.
They have a whole history in the Matoran universe and their name means "Stealers of Life"
They were probably the most severe infestation of malign organisms on the whole robot.
The wipeout didn't happen until near the end when they were going through a list of stuff to prep the robot for restarting, like triggering the Bohrok to reactivate.

What a colossal disappointment. Bionicle was so fucking good when they were still using Maori words for their language.

they neutered a lot of the complexity with the reboot. i think they just called it the fire mask. The masks just gave them their elemental powers and didnt have any weird little quirky abilities. The kits were pretty rad in phase 1 but phase 2 kinda fucked the designs a little too far for me,

Does any other setting have the weird mix of high and low tech that Bionicle did?

I only ever had the toys/lego figures and know absolutely nothing about the lore. There were pocket dimensions underground? Was this shit all from that one game or was it a book or some shit?

I feel like such an autist. I watched that entire video on the story of Bionicle even though I knew it all already.

It was slowly built up and revealed after 8 years, they played the long con ruse for the story line in a Lego theme. The setting of the first 8 years was inside a giant robot, which was only revealed at the end of 2008.

Those are compartments of Mata Nui's body.
Up until the concluding parts, the whole story takes place inside and around the body of the giant robot. This was planned since the start, you can even see his eyes shut in one of the movies.

It's kind of a action/stealth hybrid. The gimmick is that every enemy is a clone of yourself that mimics your playstyle, so if you go in guns blazing your clones will start shooting you but if you go in all sneaky breeki your clones will walk around crouched and have more thorough search patterns. Just watch a trailer to get the jist of it.

I can't remember if it was Legends of Metru Nui or the third one, but since the Great Cataclysm happens in LoMN I think that's the one.

Bionicle never really went as dark like that in terms of themes. There was tons of edgy stuff, but only 2 or 3 characters actually die and for the most part it was "actiony" superhero-type stuff with occasional stoicism & atmosphere

A dark moody reboot would fit Bionicle like a glove, I'd like to see that. It'll never happen, but still.

It's not really that complicated. The more powerful entities that are closer to godliness are at the top (Toa and Matoran, both in their more humanoid and chunky, stubby mcdonalds toy forms), and down at the bottom you have increasingly monstrous creatures with inanimate husks that must be controlled by an external entity (Bohrok) at the bottom.

And why is god represented by a worm

No fucking idea there, but I think I got the basic gist of what's going on by comparing the Bionicle thing to the /x/ thing.

>tfw you were the only kid who cared enough to at least try to get a grip on the story
>retards who said that Tahu controlled fire when he clearly has the mask of shielding and other blatantly wrong things.

It's a weird half-truth: He's a Fire Toa, so he does have some degree of fire energy within him, but he can't just flat out control fire. As for the masks, you're totally correct.

Many of the Great Spirit Robot locations would be well-suited to a Souls-like action game. Mata Nui and Metru Nui in particular would create a lot of good opportunities for interesting level design interconnected by shortcuts and unconventional means of transit, like riding on rahi and using mask powers. A stamina-based combat system would also fit well into the Bionicle setting since there was a lot of emphasis on melee combat in Bionicle, especially in the earlier set waves, but I could see a combat system more similar to Dragon's Dogma working well also. Elemental and mask powers would fill the role of spells in these cases.

He did control fire, but it wasn't because of his mask. (And when they had golden masks, technically they could use the power of any other mask whenever they wanted.)

It's not exactly the grim edginess of Dark Souls I want, just the sense of mystery and discovery. Being in control for most of the game, limited cutscenes, piecing things together on your own. Even with Bionicle's action and character interactions, it'd still fit within that framework.

youtu.be/PcdM5vsYH_U

I dont know if I've ever seen any game with the sheer scope & scale of "industrial" megastructure environments that would be necessary for a game inside the Great Spirit robot. Seriously, the Matoran and Toa would travel through it's body for hundreds, even thousands of miles.

Not to mention the crazy unique style of all the biomechanical technology and biology equivalent machines that function as GSR's "organs". Or how it all has to look ancient and decrepit.

The closest environments to that I can imagine would be found in Halo CE or Metroid Prime.

Neither have I, and I think part of the reason for this is that, until very recently, video game tech has simply not been up to snuff when it comes to depicting continent-sized complex structures. Even the largest open worlds in games today are tiny compared to how massive an in-game GSR would be.

I would call it's psychological horror. The game is quite an expirience. They creators had a vision and perfectly executed their vision. The art in the game is outstanding, and the things you go through are indeed scary and unique. I like it very much, haven't finished it yet. But there are many things in the game I really like as a concept and the execution of them. The first voice actress you hear is bad, but after a while it will fit the world, so it won't bother you much as the game goes on. If you are into unique experiences only video games can deliver, you should play it.

Heroes on DS is a great Metroid Prime Hunters clone. No idea if it's cannon since iirc the main character is a nameless Toa or something.

The whole thing is a giant machine, so it needed some way for the maintenance workers living inside of it to service the joints. So probably, although it's noted that many of those places are extremely desolate and often devoid of life.

1000% noncanon in every possible way, you're fighting Rahkshi, Visorak, and Bohrok on Voya Nui in there, and it uses the fucking Frost Beetle as a big miniboss enemy (a fan design that was canonized in a contest, but lived on Metru Nui in Ko-Metru). I also remember that despite having a shotgun style weapon in the game, Nuparu actually wields a beam rifle in his set, as shown also in the commercials.
Still a great Bionicle game though, probably the best handheld one by far. Great music and graphics too.

The only exposure to Bionicles I recall as a kid was seeing a commercial for some sweepstakes for you to win a chance to meet All American Rejects. I wonder who was the lucky kid.

No retard theres no way to make air stay underwater the disperentiation is too big

Has anyone tried to recreate bionicle stuff with 3D printing?

giant space robots don't need to obey the laws of physics, asshat

Imagine being so obsessed with America that you not only assume everyone who says anything dumb is American but also reveal your seething obsession by posting "durr America" at every single opportunity.

>credits at the end of a commercial
wtf

26. Where my Proto-Squad bros at?

Boy you is retarded

Yes. A lot. There's hundreds of mask, weapon, limb, armor, and so on that you can 3D print.

It's"Biological Chronicle" because it's the story of the Great Spirit's sentient biological system.

Oddworld

I'm making a 1/6th scale Tahu right now, fully articulated down to the pistons. I have no idea when I'll ever finish since this is such a crash-course in toy design.

thanks for the list

All hail the DENMARK

One of my fondest memories as a child is going up to my parents and asking them to put the Bionicle can in the fridge, I'll never forget that shit, they were beyond confused.

Great Brings were wizard level autists.

>Not starting with the Greeks

So, I've always wanted to dive deep into Bionicle lore. Any decent videos you guys would recommend? Or should I just start reading wikis and shit?

Play Mata Nui Online Game, it's unironic kino

there's a collection of all the story material in PDF form here
bzpower.com/board/topic/25420-biological-chronicle-the-complete-bionicle-collection/

That assumption is accurate 9 out of 10 cases though.

I remember being maximum hyped for the Inika, all of them are Matoran that got turned into Toa so I knew the characters beforehand, they had upgraded versions of the zamor sphere launchers and those cool glowy swordguns, but looking back they were the most boring goddamn things. Totally homogenized designs, stupid new rubber masks over dumb heads that had no back to them and just left an exposed axle piece sticking out, and no play features besides the same sphere-launcher the Piraka had and the swords you had to hold the button down to keep glowing.
In a year that had fantastic villains, great matoran and some of the BEST big sets, the Toa were a huge let-down.

made millions of dollars off of it
what a hack right?

selling a lot does not mean its highest quality or even good

They that's why there is the concept of little robots living inside a big one. Some being bad and some being good. It's a direct reference to his fight against cancer at the time. Not only that but Lego was going head first into the red and Bionicle was the major thing that pulled them out of their doom.

Spoonfeed me better cosmogy.

I was super into bionicle as a child but stopped following it after the Metru Nui reveal. Looks like I missed a lot of good shit.

if you rip of something deep and then rebrand it, it is still deep, if you rip off competently.

it's about the beta version of a 2000 Bionicle game that was never released, it was leaked a while ago

I only knew about one or two of these movies.
What do I need to watch to see all this go down?

King of Dragon Pass gets pretty cosmic, Glorantha is woefully underrepresented in video games and today's gaming in general.

It is an unguestionably high-fantasy setting that manages to feel like low fantasy much of the time.

Anyone?
I really dig this stuff.

Also did anyone else always have missing pieces when you bought them in the early packs?

Forgot picture.

Giant fucking domes inside a robot so the robot acts like a barrier between them and the elements (be it water or the vacuum of space), and by giant I mean continent sized

Most of them like the Toa and Matoran are cyborgs but with more metal than meat, kinda like General Grievous but they also have muscles. The Glatorian and Agori are also alien cyborgs but they go for the tradicional augmented organic beings route
Then you have actual robots like the Vahki and Bohrok, a species who decided to leave humanity behind thus becoming husks of metal with gaseous essence inside of them (the Makuta) and some fully biological creatures as well.

deepest lore

I doubt they were much into polynesian robot warlock knights
Then again I am not into Warcraft so I cant say shit

Bionicle lore summed up

Reminder than the actual canon death is the one of the comics and he gets hit by a fucking fragment the size of his head rather than the entire moon
I'll never forgive them for that

>Tfw you realise Kulta the Skull Grinder is in fact Good Guy gone evil

Is that what I think it is?
1 and 3?

>tfw I only got pohatu
Onua looks awesome here. Feels like they passed by so quick and I never got the chance to really check them out. I enjoyed pohatu though. They kept the upside down body piece from what I remember.

If you have oxygen generating stuff there (like, you know, trees) yes of course.

>Those underwater commercials with the edgy 2000's music
They got me so pumped back in the day. These toys had great marketing.

Rain world all the way

Am I the only one who finds it kind of dumb that literally every single female character comes from the one tribe? Like I just went with it as a kid, but looking back on it it's kind of silly desu. Why can't there be men and women in all 6 villages?

Yo. Seconding this:
Rain World does it much better than anything you listed
Metroid (Super, Prime, Prime 2 come to mind)
Environmental Station Alpha to a point

Forgot to mention axiom verge somehow, it's actually the one I was thinking of when I said environmental station alpha
