you have got to be kidding me

>can't go five steps without seeing some corpse with completely unironic "Zanzibug... forgive me..." dialogue
proof?

>>720358716
there's literally dozens of examples of this throughout the game

>Zanzibug... forgive me...
you know that the nigger that coined this phrase was some post-ironic borderlands faggot that has no tastes whatsoever, yeah? Its like listening to a faggot transexual whine about how Lord of the Rings takes itself too seriously and needs more women/blacks in the books.

You're repping for faggots.

>>720359183
You're being petty

>>720359183
just because it came from an idiot doesn't meant the criticism itself is wrong

>>720359183
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

This is OBJECTIVELY the optimal style of storytelling for games

>>720359125
All literal dream needle dialogue that you have to actively seek to find, you braindead outrage tourist. I genuinely wonder how you're able to function without daily assistance.

>>720359183
>You're repping for faggots.
you soulsfags do the same shit when you use "git gud" unironically when it was a meme coined in demon's souls threads aimed to make fun of reckless idiots

>>720360692
>All literal dream needle dialogue that you have to actively seek to find
which makes up much of the environmental storytelling that the game asks you to consume to understand the game world

>>720358647 (OP)
No one ever liked this Soulslop trash. Muh no story, muh cryptic dialogue and weird NPCS, my go out there and do whatever for zero reason. Only "le deep" plebbitors like this trash. Same people who watch 3 hour long Youtube videos about Elden Shit lore.

>a dying kingdom being kept in stasis through the sacrifice of cursed, nameless mooks
this is literally not whats happening though

>>720358647 (OP)
if you have a better idea where is your game?

exactly.

>>720359183
It's 2025 u can't have an edgy internet contrarian take without it being "coined" by one of those guys on twitter a decade ago.

>>720359125
>goes out of way to read the dreams of fallen warriors
>sees dialogue of fallen warriors lamenting falling before they did whatever
>gets mad
>cant even explain what the issue is

you are an outragefaggot, begone from everywhere.

no. do you expect me to actually watch skibidi toilet aswell or just acknowledge that its a meme. cause, im not watching that shit. nor do I look into the origin of memes.
hell, youve stolen some of mine.

glowie for example, I was just trying to be nice on blue boards. should have just called them n-

>>720362989
>which makes up much of the environmental storytelling
no? The environment and living creatures do that
this is literally just set dressing of the life of corpses before they died
>that the game asks you to consume to understand the game world
when exactly does the game "ask you" to do this?
Where exactly do you lack understanding of the world until you dream needle a corpse?

oh thats right, nowhere, you made it the fuck up
all this shit does is give more context to corpses and the items they held "ah this is one of the kings knights, he probably died to this boss, on his way to X to do Y"

>>720360098
>doesn't meant the criticism itself is wrong
explain why its "right" without sounding like a faggot.
What, exactly, is the issue?

>>720358647 (OP)
Yeah it's a dark souls fangame, the overall plot is cool, but the details try way too hard to imitate DS

the fromsoft model of storytelling isn't good storytelling,
but it is a good way to have storytelling without comitting to it
I'm not going to get a better story out of Silksong than I got out of Tainted Grail.
But I'd rather Silksong give me 3 lines about zanzibart, rather than having in game books telling me the intricacies of bug romance.
Because the story is not the main course, it's the spice.

>>720359183
Genuinely funny joke
Nobody but retards got upset by that joke
Soulsfans would just laugh
>haha, it's funny because it's true

>>720365002
Literally all your made up zanzibart dialogue exists only within the examples you gave, which are from the Dream Needle. Unlike Souls, there is actual lore in HK. You're such a colossal fucking retard, lmao. /v/ drone as a sole defining personality trait is a fucking genetic and cultural victory.

>>720359183
They hated him because he told the truth.

>>720362989
You're framing it like this >>720359125 is all the game is, when it specifically shows Dream Nail dialogue that's considered an easter egg. Just wait until you get to the song dialogue in Silksong.

Who gives a shit about the story

did... did you reply to the wrong anon, or are you schizo?
