browsing this site is adventure on it's own
Fire Emblem Awakening.
If you can imagine it, it doesn't exist.
Back to your cave you go
8 year old? How about 7 year old girl?
Why do little girls always pull out huge swords from lakes?
FF12
Because the Lady of the Lake likes them young.
Writers are hacks
White Knight Chronicles
Incidentally, it's a terrible game.
Wait how can she hold that? That looks like a two handed sword. Being rusty does not usually make stuff lighter.
>tfw you're not the hero
>tfw you must have lived long enough to become the villain
See you soon sword-loli
Who's the main character of 10?
Oblivion technically doesn't have you play as the 'main character', instead you play as somebody to help the chosen one.
you have yourself to blame
based
what is your battle gimmick
Hope she didn't get tetnas
God is actually a hack LN writer.
Why the fuck do people say this?
Even King Arthur isn't the main character in what OP is referencing even though he holds power.
The Chosen One is a mcguffin not necessarily a character.
Even Zweis are under 20~ pounds.
>the main character?
The Lady of the Lake can't be the main character, her father would be, assuming she handed it to him.
but you get to play as balthier as well
Yuna
>tfw went through most of my life thinking that I'm the protagonist
>turns out I'm the joke NPC
the sword was confirmed to be an old movie prop if i recall.
Bioshock Infinite
The witcher 3
FFXII
bullshit movies never happened
She's also playable
lmao movies aren't real
did aliens put it there
or maybe batman
xD
I fight beside my trusty pit bulls until I reach 25% health, at which point they sense my weakness, tear me apart and frenzy as the fight's final phase.
>Calling a real life kid a loli
I hope you're burned alive and crucified
Wasn't there a game like this?
Those girls can pull my sword anytime they want.
I'm totally not imagining having a cute little girl sitting on my lap right now haha.
>the little girl's name is Saga
>irl bosses
White Knight
They said sword not dagger.
Some time in the future there will be a group of Lady blades saving the world from unimaginable evils.
There's a reason why the light rail avenger was taken by an evil in water and girls are finding swords in lakes
that'a actually a pretty cool boss fight idea.
Those shorts are way too short
>Light Rail Avenger was the old mentor character who knew of the prophecy and was trying to train his protege but ultimately fell to the ancient evil
yeah remember when you picked where you were born and how the first 5 years of your life went?
>Post game boss
Dragon Quest V
>British rednecks
Didnt even knew such a thing existed
Hey, I'm a grower not a shower
Final Fantasy IV
whatever you do don't look up bogans
everyone has to deal with their version of rednecks
Any of the CoD games.
It's extremely subjective but I love the older CoD titles, but being that the whole series' campaign is just on rails and you're mostly a voiceless personality, it really does feel like you're playing as an NPC/supporting role in the game's bigger picture. Like, it feels like you're along for the ride rather than the game hinges on your ability to play it.
Games like Fallout and Skyrim are objectively different, but they do a great job of making you feel like you have a say in the game and how it develops. Even BF3 and BF4 have a good essence of making you at least feel like you're integral to the storyline, BF3 more than BF4.
I LOVE CoD, but I've been playing through all of them just for fun and nostalgia (and PC frames). I just finished MW2 again, and it just now hit me as a fully grown adult that you're really just there to support the main characters - like you're watching a movie. During "The Gulag" when you die especially, Soap yells "ROACH!" every time, but it doesn't feel like the story halts because you were lost. It makes you feel like you're Ozone, or Scarecrow, or Trident, or one of the million NPCs that get wasted and then just die in some foreign land bugging out.
I guess it has some realisms compared to real life war. So there's that.
Also,
>real life
shut the fuck up faggot
He cute
Even Japan has their own rednecks.
Turns out there are poor stupid people no matter where you go.
Witcher 3
Yeah, look at those redneck... fishing... How appalling! You can't just go out in knee high clear blue water like that!
The real Yea Forums was the shitposts we made along the way
lmao
>you will never join her party and end up marrying the big titty slut party member after journeying around the world and defeating the dragon hidden under the Vatican
Fuck me bros I'll never go on an adventure like my games.
"Good work, you've done me a great deal of work my child however...."
Based
Actually neat, I'd play this game.
At least you got to laugh...
LONDON
aquaposters should just drown
Final Fantasy VIII
Laguna is only incidentally playable when the game should be about him instead.
This. FFVIII would be 10 times better if the main character were Laguna.
It obviously gets forged into the most powerful weapon in the game near the end
>pure white field
bro...
Easy Mohammed.
wouldn't a double tap be good enough for the disgusting child fucker? Less resource intensive.
Metal Gear Solid 2, arguably.
Battletech
>battletech
What a fucking shitshow. Lost all interest as soon as they started showcasing the (((Diverse))) cast. Imagine willingly subjecting yourself to 12+hrs of diversity mutts and cpt. Her-turn.
The core game is the closest thing to a competent mech game we've been offered in almost twenty years. Once you move past the pronoun slider character creation it's playable, maybe even buzzword if you're into xcom.
Aren't there some european countries that melt down old artifacts like that for "recycling" purposes?
But WHO is the main character?
you're the author of you own story, only you can make yourself the hero of course you're the MC you retard, only you are you, get some self-respect
The gameplay puzzle is incredibly easy to solve and the AI is dumber than bricks. Just max armour, max jumpsets, pick bulwark and breaching shot on all 4 pilots, and bunnyhop-bulwark your way through missions using vigilance to bulwark and precision shot to core mechs with AC/20's with 95% called shot to-hit chances. The ticking clock is completely irrelevant, the writing and characterization is atrocious, and the campaign missions are structured like hot dog shit. The second you solve the tactical combat is the second the game fall apart.
it was sweden and it was old scrap metal that didn't fit into anything.
Not to say it is advisable to destroy anything old but old chain links and scrap aren't the worse things to lose.
literally doesn't affect the gameplay at all, don't let fictional niggers ruin your enjoyment of an otherwise solid game
I wanted a story i could genuinely get behind and a crew they i could actually grow to like, Instead we got that mess. Why would i want to help Princess Her-turn ousts her uncle?!
The premise is shaky at best Princess her-turn will pay you with her uncles wealth once you help her oust him. How about eat shit and die princess. How about fuck you, if ousting your uncle is so easy i'll take the whole fucking ole-pot of gold for myself.
Oh I see, I was just asking because I thought maybe the swedish government was actually run by worshippers of the ancient evil and wanted to destroy the ancient evil slaying sword
Used to find arrowheads all the time out at my grandparents place... but no one gives a shit about Native Americans.
Reminder that instead of putting these in a museum they are melted for scrap
sounds like a fun idea but sadly its run by rabid blackies that want to waste time and resources on jack shit.
Why should you
Oblivion
Martin is the real hero of the story, you're just his errand boy.
You can shoot through the fucking terrain - it can clip right through. Battletech fucking sucks, dunno where either of you got the impression that anybody considered it actually competent gameplay-wise.
>the spectator rationalizing the world of "main characters", NPCs, and fellow-spectators-but-actually-just-more-NPCs, isn't the real main character
Reminder that Bad Uncle was right and Victoria did nothing wrong. Kamea is a mary sue puppet of a foreign power that willingly plunged her former kingdom into an unrecoverable war.
incorrect
Morrowind did it better
Jesus. He's pulling a KH2 cryosleep right now.
I mean, you could've been born a Nigger in Somalia, so it's not so bad.
Fuck your boss fight, old SM died for this
who tf is this generic ass looking thot
it is currently a young Japanese salaryman whose life is about to change in mysterious ways after he meets a strange girl
Albania turned old church manuscripts and historical data into cardboard back when they were huge fedora tippers.
>you have to be a redneck to enjoy the outdoors
No I don't envy getting a tetanus shot because I found a gay sword in a lake
Get the fuck out dumb Kain fag
its an anime avatar fag, that alone warrants swift death
Oblivion
The trick is to embrace it. Once you've seen the true face of reality, once you've seen the cracks in society, you put a big smile on that face and become a reflection, a parody of it.
Once you figure out what a joke life is, and that you're the punchline, being a clown's the only thing that make sense.
After all, it's all a fucking joke.
>we live in the timeline where console FE stopped at radiant dawn and we missed out on Priams Chad Adventure
At least we got 3Hs
me
>he's not an unwilling protagonist
I've had three lake women throw swords at me in the past month and I've told them all to suck on it.
The other week some Irish cunt tried to put a gay ass or something on me and I told him he can suck a gay ass
DQV
I'd play this in the Sleepover at the Yea Forums Mansion.
>Be stonk Womyn leader
>Want to play revolutionary
>Fly the flag of freedom fighter
>Foreign benefactor wants to "help" you depose of strong leader
>Be so far up your own ass to realize your being played.
Sounds about right
>kain
Zoomer, git ye gone.
>Not being vaccinated against tetanus to begin with
A lady of the lake for reals. But white knight. You make your own character and literally watch on as the groupee of the game.
King Arthur is real?
The vaccine only lasts around 10 years. Even if you had been vaccinated previously they'd recommend a booster just to be safe unless the vaccine was recently administered. The only time most people get a tetanus shot is when they are a child and when there is a medical need to.
The main character is some Chad 13 year old fuck from Uzbekistan who is overcoming the loss of his family and training with an elderly German soldier who became disenfranchised with his country back in 2003.
Morrowind.
>and when there is a medical need to.
Like when the original vaccine wears off?
MGSIV
No. When you get an injury that necessitates it. Adults rarely bother to go out of their way to do preventative shit. For example, only something like 30% of the population bothers to get flu vaccines and that's something people are likely to get.
If you look into it, the theory that the light rail avenger killed a demon in Clear Lake is a real possibility. The year he drowned, 4 or 5 other men drowned before him. The lake rarely had drownings before that. One was a firefighter, one had a sailboat. Two of them were sucked down in front of other people, mysteriously.
After the light rail avenger drowned, it stopped. He slew the beast.
where did you think rednecks came from?
me
Wasn't the Light Rail Avenger also "sucked down" according to his kouhai?
