What are some pretentious video games?

is that angel's egg at the bottom?

Everything from that image except Rainbow is top tier.

>Legend of the Galactic Heroes
>pretentious

It's the Star Trek of anime.

The ones that trigger you?

Everybody has gone to the Rapture and Dear Esther are probably the pretentiousest games out there

That's Yamato.

Nvm I somehow confused it with texhnolyze.

literally me, except I also love moeshit

the hour long forced video part of The Witness
the useless lore of TES where people actually think Towers are relevant to anything

t. buttmad moeshit watcher

I unironically think that Monster is extremely pretentious

taro games in general
the witness

nah Monster is shit

i watched it after it was so heavily praised but the plot is slower than molasses and the main cast is boring as fuck

the best parts of Monster were all the little one-off episodes or arcs about random characters that were somehow related to Johan. the few episodes about the recovering alcoholic detective were fucking GOAT

but yeah shame about the rest of it

don't talk shit about Lain user, you look retarded

it was still nice to watch

Haibane Renmei's OST is good tier when you just want to pop in some music in the background when going to bed.
Makes you fall asleep in no time. In a good way. Comfy as fuck: the OST.

Drakengard and Nier which are perfectly in line with the type of autists that like the stuff in that pic

>cynically deconstruct mecha genre
>leave frames up for minutes because you are a poor bitch
>weeaboos think it's the deepest shit ever because it's in a language they don't understand

Undertale

I don't know how anyone can take those games seriously with how intentionally wacky they get.
GANT
FLYING
DEMON
BABIES

whole Nier series

Majoras Mask

Yep.

you mean Ergo Proxy, right?

>the finger nail scene

What makes video game pretentious?

>pretentious anime
>no texhnolyze

It's on there

>Lain
>moe anything
LMAO

...

t. only watch anime for waifus

L I T E R A L L Y Ergo Proxy and Angel's Egg

Just finished Ergo Proxy. That shit was good.

Like how OP is pretentiously calling things he doesn't like shit?

Someone explain in what way The Tatami Galaxy is pretentious?

The mc himself is actually made fun of for thinking too much about things and having a cynical outlook, if anything the show crticizes pretension.

He's calling those shows pretentious but is acting pretentious himself.

Nier isn't pretentious though. Why don't you poorfags actually play the game and reach the true ending before parroting contrarian memes.

I love like 80% of the stuff in this pic but I literally could not get on with Haibane Renmei. Even went and read the Murakami book it's loosely based on and that just made me enjoy the show even less. It's moeshit through and through.

I've seen 2 or 3 of them but Ergo Proxy was shit

...

>it's not pretentious because it actually means it
What did he mean by this

>Ergo Proxy
I really tried to enjoy that show, but holy shit, I don't think I've seen a show lean harder on exposition in monologues.
>Let's just have our character explain everything and how they are feeling straight to the viewer
It just felt so goddamn lazy. Imagine if Texhnolyze or Lain pulled that.

As long as it's thought provoking in an sense of the word, it's pretentious, according to OP's image.
Probs bait.

Wait but that reflection can't works.

Go and read the backstory surrounding the creation of Angels Egg. It's a surrealist film and the director was struggling with religion at the time. He actually was a Christian and had lost his faith, rather than just slapping in Christian imagery because its spooky and edgy in Japan like our boy Anno.

It's a fucking wonder it ever even made it to completion.

Angel's Egg never tries to be pretentious, you are a fucking retard who can't comprehend the feelings of the work.

maybe Im just a retard but I didnt get what the fuck was going on in both texhnolyze and lain. I understood the basics of the setting but motives and some characters escaped me. Some clarification wouldve been nice.

I'd say
Undertale
Last of Us
Bioshock
David Cage games
Flower, Journey, Flow

Arsty games

>LOTGH
>Pretentious

You forgot to include one more thing
>retro anime is the best

But that's stupid, does it means you can call something pretentious just because you don't like it don't depict itself as shit.

The work is ahead of its time

t. nu-weeb

>see this post
>what the fuck, galactic heroes isn't in that pic
>google it to see what the fuck was up with that
>turns out what I thought was legend of the galactic heroes for like 10 years now was not in fact legend of the galactic heroes
>i've been telling people forever not to watch it because it's shit
what the fuck man, my whole life has been a lie

...

Rei is a toilet

>steam

Pic related 100%

It's completely irrefutable. Koizumi is a talentless hack who uses annoying game mechanics like the time limit and then justifies it with sidequests that are literally just "talk to x at 10:50 and then talk to y at 3:30" and they call this "unique ludonarrative."

The writing is shit, the game has no actual depth and all of the symbolism is basic as fuck. It's got generic buddhist themes that many anti-intellectuals who unironically disagree with max stirner love to lap up.

I'm glad that the director isn't making games anymore, I just wish we could ban all MM fags from Sup Forums.

Super Metroid isn't pretentious but its fanbase is.

This is honestly the most pretentious game I've ever played.
>everyone speaks in stupid one-liners to seem badass
>everyone striking dynamic poses and blaring horns playing for 'epic' plays that aren't very impressive ever
>a voting system at the end of matches that literally does nothing of use
>loud music with grandiose trumpets like they're in some glorious battle arena when they're just losers and abominations fighting in random slums
>forced esports scene and absurd amount of shilling when the gameplay wasn't really even that impressive or revolutionary

But all those games are fantastic bar Tactics.

kill yourself

You forgot Berserk

>It's got generic buddhist themes that many anti-intellectuals who unironically disagree with max stirner love to lap up.
kek'd hard
top-tier b8 user

Tactics is the best game on the list.

*tips fedora*

Every Matsuno game is a fedora in video game form. Everything is about "muh political intrigue", trying to seem deeper than it really is.

To be fair the Sup Forums hate, band wagon is just as pretentious as the Overwatch fanbase

Not an argument.

I haven't played the first Deus Ex but the other 3 are accurate. Fuck you Prime was great

What anime is evenesence girl from?

what did you think it was?

>backtracking: the game was great

With the blue eye-liner? Ergo Proxy.
Don't watch it.

>there are people in this very thread who think Naruto was good

ergo proxy

Don't bother yourself with that.
Worst offender of saying philosophical shit to try and look smart.

if overwatch is pretentious then what is battleborn?

Is Ergo Proxy the one that actually spoils shit in the opening?

First 134 episodes of naruto are better than DBZ

What is wrong with animes/games/whatever being pretentious if I like them anyway?

i don't even fucking know what the shit thing i watched was anymore now
it was some generic show in space and i think it had mechs and it was incredibly boring, i dropped it like 3 episodes in because it sucked so much
for a while i thought it was called legend of legendary heroes until i talked to someone else about it and it turned out not to be that, after i said it was in space he told me you're probably confusing it with galactic heroes
and i just assumed that's what it was since
fuck i wanna know now what the actual shitty show was

nothing.

I have never watched Naruto but I doubt it can be worse than Monster.

Monster is the most boring piece of shit ever made. Anyone who recommends it deserves to the death penalty.

Team Fortress 2 = Ghostbusters
Overwatch = Ghostbusters 2016
Battleborn = Filmation Ghostbusters

A game that utilizes the overdone 'charm' that Gearbox applies to all of their title. It was marketed poorly by the company's pretentious president, Randy Pitchford.

Monster suffers from piss-poor pacing, but c'mon, it's probably one of the best psychological anime thrillers out there.

Read on light novels, they have been translated and easily beat the anime. They also contain a lot of neat backstory for the setting.

Since when is NHK liked by elitists?

it means you have bad taste

>300,000,000deep5u

>not reading the manga

Killer7

...

Regarding Monster, how the fuck did Johan successfully deceive people by cross dressing as his twin sister?

What the fuck, aren't they fraternal twins, anyway?

There was nothing psychological or thrilling about it.

Even post-L Death Note is better than Monster.

>There was nothing psychological or thrilling about it.
Did we watch the same show? Monster is literally the Hannibal of anime.

Monster is the Gone Home of anime.

This
Monster is fucking boring and was not worth watching

ergo proxy's actual plot is boring nonsense and the show doesn't actually get good until about 8 episodes in when the show has finally begun proper

and then it's only good because the three main characters are interesting and have great chemistry, and they float around in a desolate post-apocalypse world running into its dregs, like a weird surreal mad max

by the time the show is on its last two episodes you can tell the studio realized they had spent too much time on filler and needed to wrap up the plot while they still had budget, so they fit as many story threads as they can into the last 40 minutes of the show and it finishes with the most non-commital, basically-nothing-is-solved ending possible
