what's the last "well written" vidya you played

>>716012896 (OP)
half life but I'm a zoomer and played it for the first time recently

>>716012896 (OP)
By what standard? The standard of me or the standard of /v/?

>>716012896 (OP)
E33

I'm going to give a good guess and say this is Dragon's Age Veilguard.

>>716013081
yours
while playing or after finishing the game, you admired the dialogue/characters/plot
what was it?

>>716012896 (OP)
Well I don't play a lot of new stuff, and when I do it's never something story eccentric.
SMT: Soul hackers 1 probably

>>716013229
Dragon age Veilguard

>>716012896 (OP)
1000xResist and E33

>>716013749
he asked for well written vidya

>>716012896 (OP)
why is the elf asain

ya know, if I drew an Asian looking like that, they'd call me racist.

which I am.

>>716012896 (OP)
After not being a huge fan of Persona 5's writing, I was surprised how much I genuinely liked Metaphor Refantazio

>>716012896 (OP)
Either Metaphor or E33.

>>716012896 (OP)
At least the dialogue options here are vaguely different in response. Most Veilguard cutscenes I've seen just have the player agree with the character in one of three ways.

33 probably, great story

Wasteland 3

Armored Core 6

>>716012896 (OP)
Infinite Space

>>716012896 (OP)
Probably - Hero Party Must Fall.

>>716012896 (OP)
I haven't played too many newer games so D:OS2 comes to mind.

All these people saying the garbage E33 is is "well written media" are hilarious

Did you saw a youtuber tell you it's a masterpiece and now you're parroting it around?

>>716015017
but your bald so that argument doesn't count

>>716015017
ESL moment

By the standard of a non-disingenuous person. Basically it can't be a Redditor, Resetera-er, or lefty/pol/-er.

>>716012896 (OP)
Paper Mario the Origami King. Masterful story actually

>>716012896 (OP)
VEILGUARD

>Forgotten Ones get hyped up throughout the entire series
>Turns out they're just shittier Evanuris
>This is only explained during combat banter
Everything about this game's writing is so unbelievably ass.

>>716012896 (OP)
Buzz lightyear looking mofos

>>716012896 (OP)
I was really impressed by Expedition 33. Didn't just get the overall plot right, but also had amazing dialogue that felt like real people having real conversation instead of lifeless husks spouting exposition at each other and great humor without hurting the overall atmosphere of the game.

>>716015017
>Did you saw
You're not beating the allegations.

>>716013081
Why the fuck would you care what /v/ thinks? Their opinion only matters when they agree with me.

>>716012896 (OP)
GTAIV

Pic related is cute imo. Shame she was in a shitty game

>>716013749
well, it was written doesn't mean it was well written.

>>716012896 (OP)

DA:O

>>716012896 (OP)
HR should be banned from video games.

>>716012896 (OP)
I liked Metaphor but it wasn't really that well written, the 4 last games I played are metaphor, ys ark of Naphistim, ER Nightreign and Space Marine 1 so not a single one

>>716012896 (OP)
Legacy of Kain

>>716022456
Based. I trust /v/'s collective brainpower the same way I trust a raccoon with my wallet-only when they're trying to steal my exact thoughts word for word.

I know this is a Veilguard thread but should I make Alistair King or keep him as a warden in my worldstate?
Warden Alistair will be my mage run King Alistair will be my Queen Cousland run

>full stop
Woah... so this... is the amazingly well written... undisputed GOTY... bear sex simulator? Woah.

>>716012896 (OP)
>Well written vodya
No such thing. Games are only for gameplay. We didn't need graphics more advanced than Pacman.

The Case of the Golden Idol

hello charlotte because i was invested enough to daughterfu charlotte. i love the unfortunate retard so much

>>716012896 (OP)
I just finished playing Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon and thought it was written pretty well. It isn't anything that's gonna blow you away but it's the first western RPG I've played in a very long time that is able to take its setting and characters seriously enough to not come off as lazy or blatantly pandering bullshit, and I really liked that your decisions in choosing dialogue options really mattered and would lock you out of quests or give you different results based on how the NPC reacted, as opposed to what's become the norm of dialogue options having no consequence at all and being meant for you to cycle through every single one before hitting the one line that advances the conversation.
