No you see, I NEED to make a 30 minute video essay explaining why the themes in Zelda TOTK are shallow as hell. Death of the author

I rather liked the main story of TOTK, even if it wasn't conveyed very well.

just about all the writing in TOTK i like consists of incidental funny NPC interactions. some of the big story cutscenes are directed well but all the emotion is surface level because i just don't really care about any of the main characters, and the game gives you almost no reason to do so. like an average NPC who has five random joke lines will on average have more engaging characterization than Zelda

starting to agree with the idea of not ever bringing zelda up in here again because it's not like discussion of its text is ever going to change after a month out

avoraciopoctules posted:Even if the company isn't interested, sometimes you've got individual people within who are interested in expressing themes. And even if you aren't interested in themes, that isn't going to keep them from making their way into your work. Death of the Author and all that. No most of these are bad. If these are the themes people are finding in place of the game having actually competent narrative writing I think they should just stop writing. Both the game writers and the journos.

Guys there's really great video game writing out there that really expands on this game's 5 sentences of story. Just read these 3 kotaku articles I promise they're so smart

Everyone was jacking off over how deep splatoons lore was so I don't find it particularly out there that someone made a video about it tbh. all the way back to the original on the wii u! Not sure why this is apparently surprising

i don't actually think it hurts the game that Zelda and Link have the chemistry of a Barbie and Ken doll because the game is clearly more interested in your interactions with the world itself than the actual Link/Zelda stuff. Like there's not much there and it represents a tiny fraction of the experience you'll have playing the dang game

You can make a literary critique of whatever subject you want, about whatever media you want. game, book, movie, comic, whatever. But if it's dumb as hell then I will make fun of it Also I'm about 10-12 hours in Bravely Second, just got Catmancer, enjoying it a bunch. I'm kind of baffled how much worse Bravely Default 2 is.

Square shoved a completely green team to make BD2 and it shows. Very stupid move.

BD2 was just so draining. The counter system meant I never felt like I could really build fun stuff, it had to be specific builds which takes the fun out of it.Prism posted:Is Bravely Second the one on the Switch or is that Default 2?

Oh hey, it looks like there were some significant changes to a bunch of Masteries on the May 31st patch. Troubleshooter is still iterating, nice! https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/470310/view/3718330629807655322
