No one ever became a great actor through porn, or script writer etc FF7 actually has a lot of interesting poo poo going on from all indications in retrospect mind, which the fanbase tends to miss almost entirely and in their memories it gets turned into what we'd call the bog standard cliche-ridden JRPG Flannelette posted:Hot take: If you don't care how much it sells you can put as much or as little story as you want in your game and I can put as much pineapple on my pizza as I want I guarantee you that there were, there are, and they absolutely have their equivalent in people in the rest of the world who really want to make a fantasy series but have to setttle for a D&D campaign

Hell, there's an entire stereotype of GM who very clearly just wants to flesh out the draft for his fantasy novel and tends to be a pretty lovely DM as a result, also the ones who desperately want their campaign to get turned into an anime in a plan usually missing some stepsWilliam Henry Hairytaint posted:A porno with the sex cut out is a great way to describe the effectiveness of most video game "stories". Just replace the sex with violence, very American

I think I read about that, in Japan they have a whole genre of novels or comics or something, where it is a transcription of a DnD-equivalent of a campaign, that often spawns an anime. I think it's interesting, but also shows an exaggerated absence of creativity IMHO.

I mean, fanfiction has been megapopular since the advent of fiction and "help I fell into videogame world" is old enough that Disneys first attempt at that story is almost 40 years old.

What dumb loving kids would get invested in measuring the level of how powerful things are and if the appearance of a person might hide a significantly higher power level than expected despite their low-class birth?

In the spirit on inter-media exchange, movies should have lots of scenes where the story is told by two people walking and talking, only they walk at slightly different speeds and it makes it awkward.

To be more accurate about three lines in one person should just wander off and the other person should jeep walking and pull out a walkie-talkie and just continue talking as though this is normal

All anime is Dragon Ball, really. Even the series ostensibly about playing basketball or riding bikes just throw their hands in the air and call out everybody's power level so all encounters can be reduced to comparing numbers on a card ...which is not unlike real sports. I guess everything is Dragon Ball

TheScott2K posted:The only good video game story is "my guy almost died but I did something clever and enemies died instead" Hey now, there's also 'my guy died in an insane brutal ridiculous way'. Dwarf Fortress in general. Emergent storytelling may be basically making narratives out of random number generators, but hell, that's basically sports.

Very clear that the cartoon writers had only the vaguest idea what the games they were told to include were about, if Kid Icarus didn't tip you off. Also Dr Light doing surgery.

is pepsi ok posted:Is NMS good now? They've slowly been making the game better with each update. I've been enjoying it since the last update that added multiplayer. I haven't had a chance to play today's update, but everything I've heard about it makes it sound like it will be really good. I think with today's update, the game is finally living up to the hype that the game had prior to its launch.

Video game companies are infamously careless with licensing a lot of the time, compared to other media companies who hold jealous strangleholds on it. (especially the music industry)
