Metroid Prime actually has one of the best excuses for this, in that most of the lore you find is in computers and whatnot, so it actually does make a lot of sense to find some relevant data by "scanning" a computer.

>People fill hand-written diaries with scream noises, ellipsis, hyphenated interruptions and trail off on an unfinished sentence at the end.
>The letter is covered in blood
VtMB was terrible for this.
Julian Kelly
>steel was actually heavier than feathers
>The only reason why the weight was similar was because of the massive air displacement between the massive amount of feathers
>Everyone else was actually wrong
Sebastian Gonzalez

Leo Ross

Adam Collins
His playthrough of RE7 was perfect. He didn't even bother finishing it because he thought it was shit.
Xavier Nguyen
>Story is told through the remnants of a ancient society
i love this type of stuff but goddamn, every fucking artsy indie game does this shit, it's not creative environmental storytelling you fools it's just generic
Evan Nelson
>game doesn't have a story
>ending sucks as a result
fucking hylics
Landon Roberts
>Game finishes story in another medium
Jaxon Ward
>game is based off a novel
I can't think of a single time this turned out badly.

Ah yes, the PC master race struggle of loading screens
Glad more devs are making continue a button
Zachary Powell
>you are playing the story as its being told
Zachary Bell
>game doesn't really have a story so it's told through endless fanfic
Angel Fisher
I just checked on his YouTube. I wish he would just stop playing overwatch. To be fair though he has been playing other games I see but there was one point like half a year ago where he just played overwatch but it was amazing when he played through bloodborne and The Witness.
Gavin Hill
>There is a story
Video game stories are nearly universally terrible and I wish game devs would fucking drop them already.
Connor Wright
I still don't really get why limmy is a Sup Forums meme
Ryder Reyes

Gabriel Turner
Wheel of Time
Metro 2033
Parasite Eve
Why do people still do this meme? It stopped being funny a long time ago
Ayden Foster
>DOOM has no story
Nicholas Rodriguez
>people hail it as great story and great storytelling
soulsdrones need to be put into the fucking ground
Andrew Martin
guy is a genius
he's chill as fuck too
no reason why he couldn't become a meme
Landon James
Weirdly enough I think you're right. I've even heard that one Lone wolf guy who isn't The Witcher had a game that turned out pretty ok.
David Cooper
he regularly streams video games
Adrian Ortiz
You're comparing a few splash screens to the dumping ground for failed novelists, failed screenwriters, interns with no previous work experience in writing (and do not continue to work as writers in the game industry after their game comes out) churning out cringeworthy dialogue and empty quips by "le so quirky" characters typically voiced by bottom dollar voice actors all to justify you shooting the guys in red and walking forward.
Doom cuts the bullshit and respects my time and intelligence and the other wastes my time and disrespects my intelligence. Video games are genre fiction yet their all too self-ashamed of what they are for at least 10 years to be good.
