Hey, in 16 hours i'm gonna see so many magic swords that cut through demons like butter that I can't even carry them all before reaching the next vendor to unload them all, but right now, absolutely no one in this giant city has ever seen anything fancier than a stick.


Hey, I'm on the only human space ship for millions of miles, and nothing has gone wrong yet, but nope, can't stop in the armory for a rocket launcher, when poo poo goes down, but I'll somehow find dozens of them lying around on the ground of an alien planet as zombies overtake everything.

I like the axe in Bloodborne because it makes me feel cool to see a big enemy stomp over towards my character and then she does that sick transform move to turn it into a bigger axe. Hell yeah.

Weapons that level up with the character are cool, starter or not, and I wish more RPGs did that.

sounds like “ludonarrative dissonance” to me OP. Theres some extremely thought-provoking Polygon coliumns about this thatll really change the way you think about video games. For another example… sometimes you kill lots of people, and that’s bad, but your character is actually supposed to be good.
