Fromsoft is creating Dark Fantasy games, where the apocalypse already happened. Yes, NPCs are weird, because they are the only (sane) survivors of a great catastrophe. Yes, the bosses are also "weird", because despite being rulers, they have nothing to rule over anymore, except an endless nightmare filled with zombies and monsters.

>>717274089
Is pointing out that he's male supposed to mean something

>>717274089
Destruction

Fromdrones really are less than human. They don't even realize when they're being insulted.

>>717274783
yes it means his testosterone levels are well below average

>a dying civilization once ruled by an ancient, undefined people

>you are the chosen one

Can't believe Fromslop copypasted like 6 games in a row and redditors just eat it up

Rollslop enjoyers are mentally unwell

>>717274667
Anon, this is 4chan, giant tits = good writing, characters being clothed = bad writing

>>717274961
>you are the chosen one
You actually aren't in any of them.

It started with DS2 where they realised you didn't need a coherent narrative but could just put random shit in.

>>717273782 (OP)
honestly i have always hated fromsofts "story telling" which is your character picking up trash and adding random paragraphs of lore to it that requires you to make a spreadsheet and put it all together to get...
vagueness that has no real concrete answers

>>717273782 (OP)
>Pathos is powerful for quickly generating mood and connection with characters.
No shit. Not that Borderlands would ever bother when there’s a shitty joke to be made.

>>717273782 (OP)
This applies to the music as well. I've seen Fromdrones insisting that anything that isn't generic orchestra pieces with random chanting isn't artful music now.

>>717275239
No anon, Pathos is not when a character you've never met screams out a name upon death. That's just shitty writing

>>717275206
>honestly i have always hated fromsofts "story telling" which is your character picking up trash and adding random paragraphs of lore
What do you mean anon? Fromsoft storytelling is just telling your what's happening, like Dark Souls literally has a character who outright tells you what the plot is. You seem to be confusing story telling with world building which are two different things.

>>717273881
zanzibart's weapon description:
>Forshoothe....dear Myrthra, cast to the seas, the heavens of our heart...

>>717274961
I don't care!
I am playing Demon's Souls right now!
It's my first Souls game and I really really like it. I think the setting is actually really interesting. Also none of the NPCs in that game are that weird. They all act like you think they would act as the only survivors of the fog.

>>717275297
probably because the most popular alternatives contain nigger-babble in almost every soundtrack without fail

No anon, hiding your story in item descriptions doesn't magically make your writing good either.

>>717275619

go play skyrim faggot, these games aren't for you

>>717273782 (OP)
Beats having some failed millennial writer reformatting one of their dogshit screenplays or fanfics into a video game.

>>717274103
that's not true, often they die because you DID give them the femur

>>717274089
Anti souls fans never recovered from this lol

>>717275619
so explain what's "bad" about the story's writing instead of always complaining it simply doesn't exist in an easily digestible format

>>717274783
you don't need to list pronouns because it's visually apparent which sex you are to the point that dogs and infants can tell, and capitulating to the use of them is compliance with an extremely idiotic idea of gender identity completely divorced from physical sex. basically, if you list your pronouns then you are retarded and can't be trusted with a compelling narrative.

>>717273782 (OP)
Yeah the thing is zanzibart is actually cool and not Taash from deiguard

>>717273782 (OP)
It's a funny meme because there was that one bridge boss in Sekiro who dials it to 11.

>>717275206
Fromsoft's storytelling was made to emulate the experience of reading an English book when you don't really know English. It's fine as a one-off novelty, but it's more geared towards youtube pseud anaylsis than actually being an engaging story, and after 6 repeats it's fucking boring.

Borderlands revolutionized games, in the sense that instead of a story you can just have a vault hunter yelling stale 2010 memes like 'Epic Bacon Win' in a run-on sentence that never ends, and then your whole plot is just Claptrap screaming 'DUBSTEP WUB WUB OH NO ITS JACK' for 40 hours.

hey thanks, going to go put on some Souls lore videos to listen to while I work. I was listening to some Civil War ghost program, but it wasn't really interesting since it's just interviews with crazy people and not so much history

It gets doubly funnier when you realize they actually did this for one of the bosses in Shadow of the Erdtree.

Until you realize the guy who made the tweet is a writer for fucking Borderlands and is eternally seething that nobody cares about his redditslop s*yboy writing style in videogames anymore and zoomers prefer minimalist worlds steeped with youtuber lore.

>>717276905
I have never nor will I ever buy a Gearbox game. I think I played BL2 for like an hour and it was terrible.

>>717277005
Pipe down, Fromdrone.

>>717277114
lol, lmao even

>>717277195
>Pipe down, Fromdrone

His tweet is more of a commentary on the fanbase, than the games.

>>717277192
That cocksucker being a writer for Borderlands doesn't really cancel out that From's writing is super one note though.

>>717275801
it's bad because... because the characters sound like they are from some dramatic dark fantasy story and don't use zoomerspeak, memes and quips all the time!

>>717277330
yeah we really needed more "commentary" from some fag with pronouns in his bio, im sure whatever he said is really deep and insightful and not coming from a position of a prolapsed anus

>>717277330
Fromdrones are a cult. They interpret attacks on the collective as an attack on their object of worship.

>>717277430
You're so mad, which means his commentary must've really bothered you. Try and think on why.

>>717277274
No one asked you for a selfie. Go back to your "fun" coop game.

>>717276983
it was unironically one of the top 3 bosses of the dlc too kek

I appreciate that Fromsoft makes their own games with their own style. I do not appreciate that everyone is just mimicking them and diluting that specific type of game instead of making something fresh and interesting.

>>717277524
>n..no ..y.you
HEY YOU GUIIIIIIZS

>>717275206
I really liked it in 1, felt really unique for the time, as if you were a knight sent to a world from a forgotten legend and slowly reveal what's what on your own while the denizens treat you like one of them. That way it didn't have to be explicit because it felt like it was still retold by the old woman from the intro in a way - some stuff gets malformed, misinterpreted, forgotten. Then they started relying on the gimmick too much and OP pic is right, they turned the games into parodies at this point. Many fans still coom to the storytelling, because just like with muh difficulty (lol) it makes them feel special to know le esoteric lore while these darn idiots just don't understand Miyazaki's genius.

/v/ couldn't understand a by-the-numbers story like Expedition 33
What makes you think brown retards would ever be able to grasp vague and obtuse world building (which From has been doing since the beginning, and is maybe more vague in King's Field)

>>717273782 (OP)
>you people are actually still seething over this tweet
What the fuck is wrong with all of you? I love Dark Souls a lot, but you don't see me getting this bent out of shape over such lukewarm criticism.
The guy who tweeted this even followed up with a tweet admitting that he'd basedface every time OP happens.
Get a fucking grip, you autists.

>>717277574

>lore in item descriptions
This has always been weird to me, how does your character know the lore associated with an object? Is there like a tag with the lore written on it? Is it engraved into the item? Does the knowledge magically appear in your character's head when he touches it?

>>717277693
From games being popular and selling well REALLY bothers you. Look at how you spend your time online.

>>717277778
nothing implies that your character knows that lore

/v/ has a handful of games they just piss and shit themselves over, like 2077 and now E33, and it's fucking funny every single time. I like to come into a thread and just lay a nice shitpost down and then watch the tards beat themselves into a frothing fury for an hour.

>>717277778
Your character is just a retard who's just slashing his way through a dead world to reach his ultimate goal of linking the fire/getting to the Throne/etc. The item descriptions are for (You) to better understand the world around you.

>>717279034
i know you're memeing but having thread IDs and flags would cut down on niggerfaggotry by at least 50%, the only reason they dont is because this is an advertisement board for game studios like /tv/ is for capeshit and other propaganda

I'm really, really not. We need thread ids, too.

This guy ended up backpedaling hard from this when he got twitter backlash, which is pretty pathetic.

This might be the one pure, true thing this faggot ever says in his entire life and he can't stick to his guns because the Frombabbies typed strings of barely coherent words at him on the internet.

Souls games are shit and if you like them you are a dumb faggot.
