Does it have to be something smart? Or does it have to be simply something you enjoy?

I enjoyed Spirit Hunter: Death Mark. It is not a masterpiece or anything but i enjoyed it. It is nice to play a japanese vn where the protagonist is a 40 years old man instead of a teenager. If you like horror and japanese urban legends i recommend it.

>>717994836
Apart from being one of the most flagrant and shameless uses of the strawman fallacy imaginable? I don't know, it probably just offends chuds or something.

>anime jpeg
??? where is the GAMEplay showing truly evil stuff

>>717992227
You have to understand that in this game, you are not supposed to take stuff at face value. Everything that happens is through the eyes of a broken man who is an alcoholic drug addict that hates himself and the world because a woman dumped him. We know that fascism is not about women, but the protagonist got into fascism because one. All the political ideologies you get into in this game is simply the protagonist using different ways to cope.

>>717992580
>>717992850
would it mean anything to you if I told you the game also calls communists corrupt blood thirsty incels without giving it nuanced representation either?

further, you are completely ignoring René Arnoux

>>717994458
Good writing for Acts 1 and 2 that fucks itself over in Act 3.

>>717995432
The EU is represented by a fat balding politician who goes to a ghetto to fuck twinks.

I dont think you can have any political leaning without the game shitting on you for it, it even shits on you for fence sitting

Play Fallout 1 and 2, if you enjoy those play Torment

you wrote BROHER instead of BROTHER, thread ruined. delete and start again.

Do you mean you can't make one to play as, or games can't have them in general?

>>717995714
>satire
its SHIT satire. Its the most low effort, unfunny satire Ive ever read. It somehow got the writing quality of a youtube poop in being as wacky and goofy as possible but fucks up any kind of comedic timing while saying literally nothing. What is the point of the political factions plot line? What purpose does it serve the overarching themes of the game? Because the entire point of it existing is so the writers can self fellate themselves for being enlightened fence sitters for going with the most boring take imaginable that all sides are LE BAD. The political shit in DE is like a tumor consuming the other two plots (the detective plotline and harry hopium plotline) because the writers didnt want to write either of those things, they wanted to write political shit. But no gamer is going to buy some failed writer's political musings, they want to play a game with an interesting plot, so the writers for DE half assed a detective plot so they could sell it as a "detective" game.

>>717992227
It needs to be heard to be fully appreciated.

>disco elysium

>Disco Elysium
Ask why the game is good? nobody tells you any single merit other than its writing.

Ask why the writing is good? all you will get is psychotic ramblings about trauma and muh feels, zero demonstration of actual writing depth or why the themes were deep or how the pacing is clever or how it builds mystery or plot tension or anything, even the characters are reddit-tier caricatures. The only decent thing about its writing is the worldbuilding which when you actually think about it is simply an alternative version of post WW2 eastern europe which is not that hard to write for someone that lived in that period.

>>717996007

Whatever happened to playing games for yourself and making your own judgements? If you really think DE is so bad it's concord/dustborn levels of "just looking at this makes me vomit" then that's just, like, your opinion, man.

damn nigga you didn’t do any research about the writers, did you?
>What is the point of the political factions plot line?
>What purpose does it serve the overarching themes of the game?
a lot of different ways to interpret and answer
off the top of my head, politics as coping mechanisms for personal failures for one
anyways, see >>717995694
imo the game isn’t really about the detective plot or the politics, it’s about Harry, and how one reacts to a near lifetime of failure/how to keep moving forward (likely reflected in Revachol itself with its past communism, a vibe the writers probably resonate with living in a post communist state)

>>717997023
all I can say is filtered desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu

>>717990705 (OP)
Depends on what exactly are you looking for.

One thing I can think of is Saya no Uta. It used to be babby's first VN, I don't think that's the case anymore, but if I remember it correctly, it should still deliver a very unique moral dilemma, and I can think of few games that do a better job at putting you into the position of a protatonigst.

>>717995974
both, but playable characters that are inherently evil or at least anti-hero are basically non-existent

>>717996864
I played it myself and I found it to be bad, how is that so hard to believe?

>>717997207
then why make bad shitposts on 4chan about it ad nauseam

>>717996572
can you give an example of a video game with good writing while also taking the time to explain why it’s good with an explanation and examples of its themes/motifs/and “”””writing depth”””” anon? Preferably with supporting quotes from the game

>>717997092
>imo the game isn’t really about the detective plot or the politics, it’s about Harry, and how one reacts to a near lifetime of failure/how to keep moving forward
and it sacrifices that plotline for a political factions intrigue plot that says nothing. No stop, no exaggeration, the game would be 10x better if they axed the entire political factions garbage. It would free up more space for the detective stuff (which is woefully half assed) and go all in on having more shit focus on Harry moving on

eh I am a little mad I fell for the meme and boughted it but at least I haven't wasted much time on it and I'm playing good vidya instead

>>717996572
Not a native English speaker and haven't written essays on stories or books in ages, but the writing is just good, I like word soup dialogue, I liked the mystery and tension building and "who dunnit?" storyline, liked the internal monologues and differing choices and outcomes, and it was well paced, and I'm not a flaming faggot, but /v/ shat on it constantly on release as sjw right leaning garbage, and I barely noticed.

Also keep in mind the bar for "good writing" in games is really, really low, and gets lower by the year, this is what passes for well written nowadays.

>>717997628
No you're not, you're posting frogs on 4chan. Get over yourself and stop pretending like a game not being for (You) means it's indisputably bad.

>>717997410
>and it sacrifices that plotline for a political factions intrigue plot that says nothing.
it uses this as a vehicle for the aforementioned theme, as well as general character explorations
whether it’s about Joyce Messier’s regrets/rationalization on betraying her home for capital, or measureheads pursuit of higher racial purpose despite being a dock worker under the employ of an “inferior” race, or the blatant zero sum/money laundering scheme of the coalition controlling Revachol under the guise of humanitarian/moderate governance, or the communists students repeating the same vicious mistakes again and again under the delusion that mere belief will change anything, or anything to do with the murderer and the entirety of their motivations

>>717998435
>What the fuck do you think liberalism has been doing for the past 40 years?
How is this relevant to the game's MO of making fun of both sides. It even makes fun of centrists and the close-minded, such as yourself.
>Just because you [INANE BABBLE]
You clearly got a nerve struck while playing this game, now I'm just wondering which nerve it was. You wouldn't be this vehement if you simply didn't care.

>>717998338
My biggest reason for not wanting to play Disco Elysium is that I suspect it'll do the mainstream political satire shit where it calls right-wing beliefs pure evil driven by hate and greed but the worst it's willing to accuse the left of is not being effective enough. Nothing I've heard about it has really alleviated that concern.

>>717998746
Dishonest fag. Centrists have been the ones to be making fun of everyone and anyone for the past decades. They have (coopted) much like the game implies, your shitty thinking. Nobody finds it funny, nobody finds it appealing neither because it has been overdone to hell. Take it all to reddit.

>>717998871
>but the worst it's willing to accuse the left of is not being effective enough.
I wouldn't worry about that. You'll find plenty of criticisms for dipshit gommies and their do-nothing ideology.
>>717998928
You just said liberals were doing it, now you're saying centrists are doing it. You can't even keep your own bullshit arguments in-line.

>>717998871
you’ve got modern political us/them brain rot
anyways, rhetoric, the stat which governs/represents communism, literally calls for mass executions via lining people up to shoot and employing body wagons, as well as pic related

>>717992227
that feels about right

>>717990705 (OP)
The best visual novels is where to get your writing fix. Most other games and moviegames have slop for stories.

>>717999205
so wait you don't read that as a parody of right-wing apes?

>>717999005
If a game's going to infer that traditionalists are actually woman-hating fascists, it had better be willing to say a lot worse about communists than just calling them lazy hipsters. Especially given that the writers thanked Marx for inspiring their work. So far, I don't see any sign that they recognize the severity of the many problems with the ideology itself, just signs that they'll poke fun at its least dangerous followers while demonizing its opposition.

>>717999546
I was talking about Harry's manifestations of hatred for the Men of Wo

>>717999398
Firstly, no I do not. I have plenty of issues with fascism too, it just takes essentially zero effort to find people pointing out the problems with that ideology. It isn't brainrot or us-them thinking to recognize a trend toward going too hard on one side and too easy on another in works that claim to be impartial, or to want to avoid things which follow that trend.
Secondly, yes, that's closer to the sort of critique of left-leaning ideologies I would want a game with satire this aggressive to make and I hope it accurately represents the writing overall. I'm still not too interested in the game and find its writing to have the subtlety of a brick to the head, but it may at least not be the open propaganda piece it's appeared to be when I've heard it discussed before now.

>>717992227
Why am I supposed to think this is bad again?

>>717992313
This one won't make it. The brainrot is in the terminal stage. Disco Leftisium idiocy

>>718000148
Isn't the surface level writing having the subtlety of a brick, while hiding its true meaning underneath, half the point of satire?

>>717999005
Im trans idk if that matters :3

>>718000426
I think you can have satire and some attempt to write without screaming "THIS IS WHAT I THINK" in the audience's face at the same time.

>>718000148
the game really isn’t about the politics (as has been mentioned several times ITT), it just features it a lot, but if for some reason you expect the game to give all political factions a “fair shake” then you should look into the character René Arnoux
anons on 4chan just get upset that it doesn’t represent fascists as pristine marble ubermensch statues and then completely and utterly ignore the rest of the game (because they never played it)

>>718000218
this. white genocide is a GOOD thing. punch the nazis

>>718000605
Thanks for the (You) but I didn't ask.
>>718000608
Well not every conversation in DE has Rhetoric going "GAS THE CHUDS, CLASS WAR NOW" so maybe you should just try the game out and form your own opinion

>>717995694
You do notice a bit of a difference when you look at it honestly. Meaning that communists are slightly misguided idealists, whereas "fascists" are women hating retards who blame innocent foreigners for their problems.

>>717999541
Pic unrelated, i suppose

>>717995737
filtered seriously, though

>>718000809
But fascists are also portrayed as resolute warriors that are willing to do what it takes to restore order, that grieve deeply for the disastrous state of the world around them. The women-hating retard is Harry himself, whether his grievance is legitimate or not, that's a different matter entirely.

>>718000715
If I don't like any of what I see of a game, why would I expect that it'll magically pull a complete 180 into being amazing if I actually play it?

Can you guys give me any games with good writing that are obscure?

We already explained to you why your current criticisms are warped by nonsense from shitposters (you even admitted this yourself that all you've done is see shitpost arguments on 4chan about the game.) Stop asking people to dictate your life and make your own decision for fucking once.

>>718000704
>White genocide
Females being unable to look at you without feeling disgusted is not a "genocide"

>>718001187
I also got my impressions from hearing discussion by the game's fans on multiple websites.
Am I allowed to make the decision to continue avoiding the game, or are you going to tell me that I'm only allowed to be disinterested in it after I've played it for dozens of hours?

>>718001432
>Females being unable to look at you without feeling disgusted is not a "genocide"
it is tho?

>>717994003
this

>>717992227

I feel like this is a joke I'm not getting.

>>718001529
if it's your decision to avoid the game then who cares
the discussion is clearly over

>>718000696
>if for some reason you expect the game to give all political factions a “fair shake”
I don't. The game doesn't have to even bring up the subject. If it wants to talk about fascism leading to extremism and subjugation, though, then when it brings up communism it should mention the same outcome happening there. Which it sounds like it does, so at least I can give it credit on that point.

I really like the writing in Nier Replicant/Gestalt.
Solid themes and symbols, characters are ever so slightly off that makes a lot of interactions strange or unique and the atmosphere is great.

Talos Principle but for the love of God play it blind and don't look up anything since any spoliers will kill the story.

Still way too high. We can go lower.

The themes are retarded but the way it delivers them is very good. It's rare for me to be able to respect a fundamentally retarded opinion, but Nine Sols manages it well.

Do VNs count?

VNs ARE JUST COMICS

IT'S WROOOONG ANON

Metal Gear Solid

I don't think VNs are vidya despite liking them, but others might have different opinions. I'm just throwing it out there

>>717992227
I agree with this. If women were pregnant and barefoot, most of our problems would solve themselves in no time. And a society without those problems is called fascistic.

that's not really a twist of anything important, it was just interesting

Astlibra, although the dialogue is kind of awkward in places.

Its a game that takes place in future Japan. The mc (a highschool student) by chance finds a screwdriver in the ground just beside his home and reads the memories inside it (due to humanity having discovered a way to read memories and minds through a specific kind of atom). This leads him to an abandoned house, where he discovers a seemingly asleep young girl who looks exactly like one of his classmates

The plot builds up from there. Its a very interesting game, with lots of philosophy and lots of worldbuilding. It also deals with the implications of AI in society for example.

the cognitive dissonance is unreal.

>What purpose does it serve the overarching themes of the game?
harry is just wearing all these political ideologies and philosophies as a mask to cover up the fact in his own mind that he's a complete and total fuck up so he doesn't drink himself to death. which he will probably do anyway. that's why you can be all of them at the same time. i think you didn't really get the game

It's a cyoa actually
