BUT FIRST
>>332474468
Why is it that people never post actual lore in these threads and post retarded shit such as simple things in Mario 64 and/or other games? Why don't people discuss the lore of games like Final Fantasy XII, or Drakengard/Nier, or any other game with a large emphasis on worldbuilding?
>>332476757
the lore in those games sucks compared to mario
>>332476757

So are you saying in Wet Dry World, Mario just gains more or less depth?
>>332477206
Mind equals blown
>>332476757
You are thinking too deep. Usually these threads are just an excuse to shitpost. Not always though.
>>332477409
No, he's just sleeping.
In general I'm a fan of how connected everything in Super Mario Sunshine is. I love that you can see different levels in the background of whichever level you picked. I love the NPC dialogue is constantly changing. I love that in order to 100% the game you have to do little shit like bring stranded islanders fruit or spray a guy whose on fire. You really get the feeling that the island is changing for the better because of Mario's actions. It's the most he ever felt like a good guy, rather than just some dude having a grudge match with a turtle.
>>332478063
>a guy whose on fire
>>332476757
Most games don't actually have any deep or interesting lore worth discussing. Those that do can't easily be summarized in a simple graphic or a few posts.
Yoshi's Island has crayon graphics because you're seeing the island through the eyes of Baby Mario.
>>332476757
>Why is it that people never post actual lore in these threads
>>332477009
>that's the joke dumbass
This. These threads are a joke about games having "deep lore" that you can find in-game. It's why most of the comments are either random tidbits about games, complete lies, or just made up bullshit.

Can anybody explain this picture to me?
I don't understand why it's significant. It's a thwomp in a cage.

>But a joke has to be funny
Not really.
They are bad jokes, but still jokes. A failed attempt at humor is still humor.
>>332478203
People could try. It'd at least generate actual discussion and people might learn something about a game they didn't already know.
What was this guy's problem?
>>332478374
It's the only Thwomp of that color in the game.

Because these threads are meant for shitposting. They started out as a parody of those that took Demon's Souls' lore seriously.

In Mario Party 2, the Horror Land map's logo depicts a tombstone with the year 1791 on it.
Now this doesn't seem too strange, until you look deeper.
A tombstone... with 1791...1791 was the year Mozart died.
If you start a race with koopa and then jump in the pipe to turn big, the small koopa will still race you. And if you stomp him, you win automatically

I define lore as information learned thru the environment that isn't spoon fed thru cutscenes or mandatory gameplay
>>332482474
I'd say more like the Majora's Mask of the Mario series.
I wish I could just find a comprehensive and complete collection of the RO lore.

i always had a good laugh at that one dungeon in SR that gives you +15 Sat (i think the highest concentrated amount in the game, and the only way to get Sat that doesn't involve sex), just due to rance freaking out over the seashells in it.

The cast of DK64 was originally Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, Kiddy Kong and Lankey.
Nintendo didn't like the redesigns of Dixie and Kiddy, so made them into new Kongs.
>>332484608
Theyre bottomless, each time you fall into one a new timeline is created in which mario spends eternity plunging through the darkness
In the beginning he would occasionally pass out from exhaustion, and his dreams were the only place where he could see the light once more
As time went on his memories of the world above began to fade, consumed by the eternal pit
After years of falling endlessly he understands nothing, sees nothing, perceives nothing
His dreams, his last solace, are now pitch black, unable to be differentiated from reality
Sometimes he questions whether he is still alive or if he had died many years ago
This happens each time you fall into a hole in mario
>>332485102

>Zenas was right, and astonishingly, he even had audience with the Queen of Dusk and Dawn in her rose palace. She listened to his tale with a smile and foretold to him the coming of the Nerevarine. My master found Moonshadow so lovely, he wished to stay there, half-blind, forever, but he knew he must move on and complete his journey of discovery.

Does anyone know what's fucking going on in E.Y.E.?
In the first Pikmin game, all species of Pikmin are extinct up until Olimar individually encounters each type. If the player manages to collect all the ship parts within the 30 day limit, the ship flies off early, leaving the Pikmin behind. As the ship flies off, the Pikmin spot a nearby Bulborb and attack it on the spot. It's implied that Olimar imparted some tactical knowledge unto the Pikmin, to the point where they can sustain themselves without him. This is reinforced in Pikmin 2, as each of the original three colored Pikmin have survivors in the field.
The effect is somewhat lessened in 3, as even though Red and Yellow Pikmin are doing well, the Blue onion got planted in a terrible location, teeming with aquatic predators. It doesn't help that Blue Pikmin are also statistically the most likely color to be eaten of the different types.
Pikmin's got a bunch of other cool lore behind it.

the thing that pissed me off is that Vaan and Penelo were never shown doing shit to contribute to the party. He's streetsmart and fast, right?

>>332485608
>In the first Pikmin game, all species of Pikmin are extinct up until Olimar individually encounters each type.
explain the onions seen in the ending, the onions olimar found were just dormant not extinct

>Half Life and Bioshock deeper than Mass Effect or Dragon Age
haha, no.
shit on Bioware games if you want but they put a lot of work into lore and world-building. Mass Effect goes into detail about how FTL travel is possible, Dragon Age has a fairly complex and detailed religion, Half Life has "durr Vorts were bad now they good", and for all of Bioshock's fantastic writing the actual world makes no fucking sense.

In Pikmin 3, the map bears a resemblance to Pangea Ultima, a possible super continent configuration which could form in the next 250 million years.
>>332485732
Well, they are born from their ship and are buried underground until they are ready to be plucked.
Olimar's the one who plucks them. Before his arrival, the ship's just by itself.

how can you not know what he is talking about when he explains it perfectly clearly in the video?
there are two separate coordinate systems in mario 64, one used for level collision detection (which loops around when you reach the edge) and one for mario's positon in the world (which stretches infinitely in every direction)
when he jumps into a PU, he's just desyncing the two coordinate systems. he goes off the map in world coordinates, but since collision coordinates loop the game still reads mario as standing on solid ground as if he was still in the map
it's not that complicated anons~
>>332485365
>there are actually people who think like this when they see that video
Quite sad to be honest
>>332485718
>>332485732
The Pikmin themselves are extinct. The Onion is capable of producing more Pikmin, but it is thought to be a different sort of being entirely from the Pikmin.
There's an actual term for Pikmin extinction which occurs when you run out of all types of Pikmin before the day ends. It is only on the following day where the Onions will sprout exactly one more of each Pikmin.
>>332485624
Lol this is not some classic lit or something, its something an autistic kid on here wrote where he uses actual color values so h'ell be like the "tree with the green (ADFF2F) leaves" as if you're going to suddenly imagine the colour in your head or something.
I honestly don't even think its that specific a behavior to autism considering how many non-autists think name dropping big words and scientific fun facts makes them smart. The autism part might be the going for color codes and video game glitches instead of just pop sci articles.

Nier's lore is the coolest shit. Yoko Taro's world-building is probably the best science-fiction to ever be put into a video game. I think that comparing him to Jack Vance or even Gene Wolfe is actually reasonable. And not as a knockoff or an 'okay for vidya' substitute, he's actually near their level.
I wonder if he'll ever get mainstream recognition of any kind? If hacks like Ken Levine and David Cage can impress people imagine if Yoko Taro actually managed to get a significant number of people to get a proper look at his work, rather than just the usual morons who quit the game because they couldn't work out how to fish.

It's PS4 only so far, but it's being published/funded by SE and made by platinum, so who knows maybe in 5 years it might come to PC.

I think in many years people will start to go back through video games and a few lost gems will get their day. A lot of people don't realize that as far as classic stuff goes a lot of todays classic movies were considered total shitters until later gens took a look.
>>332487061
Holy shit that looks fucking ridiculous.
Is the first Nier like that? I want it.
>>332487551
Most likely not, and even if she were Kaine isn't a trap. Kaine's futa.
>>332487354
Literally austism.

To be honest, we don't really need a Dragon Hunter game. It'd just be the same thing but with a more limited roster.It's called Dragon's Dogma, though.
>>332478491
That doesn't look like lore.
More like a theory,a game theory
>>332487551
No you retard Kaine has been dead for thousands of years by the time Automata occurs.

not a big fan of the dodging, what's the point of putting all of those magic spheres with obvious spacing if you can just dodge right through them rather than actually dodging them with movement
that and i'm going to miss using grimoire weiss as a third person twin stick shooter rather than the lock on shit

i can make it deep for you, olimar mentions the planet's surface rapidly changing from his last visit in a treasure decription, this explains why caves started appearing and why the overall appearance of the maps is different, the planet's surface was moving, this explains why the impact site fused with the final trial and why in pikmin 3 its already pangea ultima
