Do you ever actually read the in-game journals of RPGs?

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

/ANIME/ thread

>>713623221 (OP)
A lot of it tends to be boring fluff.
The books in TES games come to mind. For every piece of actually interesting worldbuilding theres also a bunch of wordsalad junk.

>>713623532
Played Expedition 33 and listened to all the journals. They were normally interesting. Some Elder Scrolls stuff interests me too, because I sometimes roleplay characters and like to know some of the deeper lore.

>>713623221 (OP)
sex with pino!

Finally, a worthwhile thread on this shithole

>>713623221 (OP)
On occasion. If it's something related to the in-game lore and written as if it were some in-universe book, I usually take my time reading it.

>>713623221 (OP)
Sometimes, I read all of the bar rumors and character bios from FFT though.

>>713623221 (OP)
I liked mass effect 1's shit, it was cool reading about the lore and how the world worked. Shame about 2 and 3

>>713623376
Erm... She's from gacha, actually.

>>713625805
she's from japan

>>713625392
Same here, I also read the lore behind those little quests you can send your party members to participate in.

>>713623221 (OP)
No. Fuck no.
Don't even listen to those audiologs and shit. If the characters don't tell it to me straight in real dialogue, it's either not important or the game is shit.
>b-but muh Zanzibart videos
>b-but you should be reading a piss-poor quality book excerpt instead of playing the game
Don't care. It's shit.

PINOOOOOOOOO

>>713623221 (OP)
Rarely, I'd rather let some youtube video summing that shit up on the background as I work.

This shit made no sense

>>713627689
it's the only anime where i felt i had to go rewatch it to get a better grasp of it

i've forgotten most of what it was about since then tho

>>713623221 (OP)
I did for Lost Odyssey
And it hurt

>>713623221 (OP)
lol no, i also skip most of the cutscenes (only watching ones with lewd potential)

>>713627689
but i still liked it though

>>713627689
brainlet

>>713628691
Explain the plot without going to the wiki

>>713629293
come and save meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

>>713629293
bincentu raw

>>713623719

>>713629523
Lmao!

>>713623221 (OP)
No. I just watch a lore video about the game instead if I found the World to be interesting enough. That initial interest is achieved via aesthetics, music, and characters.

>>713629523
reru meia...

>>713623221 (OP)
2nd season when?

>>713629536
Not my fault they made her so hot!

>>713623221 (OP)
If I'm invested, yeah. Also this >>713627689

>>713631784
when I watched it I thought these were different girls

>>713627689
Any other brainlet filter tier anime?

>>713627689
That’s because it was horribly paced in the middle with no connective tissue from the beginning to the end. Dogshit plot carried by decent animation and aesthetic.

>>713623221 (OP)
Pino's mom is the hottest woman in existence.

>>713629293
Raisin Deertree.

>>713629536
I see nothing wrong here. You should want to FUCK your robot daughterwife.

cute

>>713633795

>>713627689
Still to this day the grayest and most desaturated anime I've ever seen. It's like watching a bleak siberian winter for eight hours.

Posting a superior depression snoozer. Fuck Lain, fuck ergo proxy. .hack//sign is good though.

>>713638001
>dark and depressing post apocaliptic world is dark and depressing
whoa

>>713623221 (OP)
Xenosaga had a great one

>>713627689
They had to do something besides GitS so they did the desert which was so bad

>>713638463
speak like a nonautstic person next time

>>713623221 (OP)
I read character/enemy biographies and item descriptions. But i rarely read ingame books.

>Post apo world full of cyborg werewolves, electric elder gods, and clone zombies
>Mix of Blade Runner, Jacob's Ladder, Metro, and Silent Hill
>Good balance of mystery, action, comedy, horror, and existential art piece
>Amazing grungy art style and character designs that emanate pure 2000s gothic atmosphere
>Fantastic soundtrack and iconic songs done by Western bands like Radiohead and Monoral
>3 varied main characters with great chemistry that perfectly fit with the "on the road" story motive when they start their journey arc
>Top tier heartless, bitchy, conspiracy obsessed, detective Amy Lee goth gf who awakens more human emotions throughout the story and changes as a person
>Wholesome goody two-shoe dork in love with the goth gf, whose story constantly takes unexpected turns and has a ludo kino twist that completely changes how you view the character
>Cute and funny Pino girl with a ton of charisma and personality in every scene. One of the most realistic portrayals of a child character in media
>Unique mix of genres. The plot changes from a noir detective story to shizo endless Groundhog Day, to a postapocalyptic Terminator action flick, to an episode of a Japanese game show, to a journey across the world, to a detective story again
>Yoko Taro was so blown away after watching it for the first time in 2006 that he got inspired to write Nier Replicant's setting, story, and characters based on it. He even hired the same Japanese VA who voiced Vincent to voice brother Nier
>HOLD MY HAND AND DRINK THE WINE. TAME MY HAND AND LET ME FOLLOW

Kino of the highest caliber desu. Just watching it now takes me back to the mid-00s when Japanese studios made tons of great dark psychological Seinen shows like this with a 10/10 atmosphere and feel. Nowadays Ergo Proxy really feels like one of a kind show

I agree with everything, but I'd lie if I say that I understood the bigger picture. Also forgot most of the things happening besides the road trip arc, which was probably also the easiest thread to follow.

>>713640174
Why can't we have nice things anymore?

>Episode 16 is filler and nothing happens

>>713641085
moe took over in 2010s

>>713640174
Based and true

>>713641183
Uhm, this is nuchan
You're supposed to say something something political side is reason why thing bad
That aside, fuck moe

>>713638156
Don't remember the depression, but the snoozer was strong in this one. Not even sure I made it to the halfway point, probably kept falling asleep.

I only remember the game show episode.

>>713627689
It did lol. I had to rewatch it to get it though. But there is a story and its pretty mid.

>>713641736
It got laughs out of me. Smile land one was nice too and it actually did tie in to what was going on too

I do read them at the start, but most devolve into
>I'm hungry and scared and weak and oh no...there's a strange noise outside! Whatever could it be? Let me go check to make sure it's not [monster name here]
>I miss my wife/comrade/friends, they're dead, and it's a shame because we promise to meet at location Y and split our fat loot that we stored at said location

>>713623221 (OP)
I used to, in some games where the lore is good.
TES and WoW had decent books. Also edgy stuff like that MGSV prequel's audio logs.
VTMB also had a cool segment where you visit sewers, which have a manager room with a journal in it, then you go down a bit and find another, older level with an older supervisor room with a journal written in more archaic english and which is 100 years older.
