I always figured it was about being a refugee or something, but it looks more like it's just Resident Evil with more pretension? All the ads and artwork made me think that it was the videogame industry's big attempt at doing a prestige contemporary adult drama, and seeing that there was a sequel recently it had me curious if they actually managed to pull it off. So... has anyone done this yet? What's the Kramer Vs. Kramer or Ordinary People or Moonlight of videogames? Hell, I'll take a Fatal Attraction.

What you are looking for are point and click adventures. Those are the only ones that actually have the sort of stories you are looking for. And Disco Elysium.

I especially like it when people say "the game kinda sucks but the story is just so good!" These people usually have a triple digit number of hours in multiple visual novels.

Can you still brain dudes with a brick/bottle? That was my favorite part of the first one (the other kills were a little gruesome for me, personally).

I don't know why you need a story better than "Your dad was flying around the universe drunk and blew up all the planets. Now you have to clean up his mess by making new planets out of human garbage."

But some people think you do and then we get stuff like the Last of Us, or Yakuza, or Planescape, and then they gush about how great the story is because they've never read anything that doesn't have the words "illustrated by" on the front cover somewhere.

Silent Hill 2 is the best example of this I know of. It even has a mode for people who aren't interested in monsters and just want the awesome story centering around a loved one's terminal illness and the inability to deal with it. What Remains of Edith Finch had no combat and is fabulous, about a family with a such a sad history is crosses into curse territory.

I couldn't even imagine being as cool and above it all as the OP, probably because I'm currently being deep fried in a sub-basement

The opening scene of the game has two skyscrapers duct taped like that scene in Idiocracy so I laughed and watched that instead.

There are some classic games starring hollywood funnymen Christopher Lloyd and Rob Schneider. Might be what you're looking for OP.

Super Mario has the best story of any game. The princess is on a diplomatic mission to the Koopa kingdom. Turtle and mushroom citizens are living in peace. Then he escapes his prison. Mario, the greatest monster to ever terrorize the countryside. A man covered in the blood of his enemies- you think that shirt was originally red? In a land of sentient mushrooms, he eats those mushrooms to gain their strength. After he kills king Bowser, the princess nervously thanks him, unsure of what else to say.

I had to read a shitload of classic literature and it all sucks, all of it. The one exception is the Shakespeare story where someone uses "I hosed your mom" as a comeback. That being said 99% of video game plots suck poo poo tho I don't really know why you'd lump in Planescape, which is basically a novel parading around in a video game's skin, with The Last of Us which is just the Walking Dead tv show but more pretentious.

Heavy Rain tried but had a silly ending, dialog poorly translated from French, and out of place scifi elements thrown in for no reason.

I for one, did not know anything about Popular Thing. I am much more interesting than those who do know details about Popular Thing and I just had to post a thread so you were all aware that I didn't know about Popular Thing.
