Skyrim did not have a great actual story however it did offer you a fuckton of freedom to make your own that were extremely varied and interesting. Fallout 4 is the same but to a much lesser degree due to Jew Howard chopping off the roleplay elements with a rusty machete.

But Witcher 3 has a genuinely good story as far as games though (based off books so not as impressive) and TLoU's actual story was shit but the characters were fantastically written and acted so that helped it immensely.

Which amounts to no story at all.
"Player generated narrative" is no better in skyrim than in any game without an actual red thread, and no better than in games with actual plot, where your mind will still generate "your very own story".

There are some great stories in each of those games. The main storyline in Witcher 3 is a bit weak and in Skyrim and FO4 it's absolute shit, but there are some cool side quests.

Overall your bait attempt was a failure.

I know this is bait, but I'd like to take this occasion to talk about Witcher 3 and something that bothered me about its' story.

I understand that it tried to put a lot more emphasis on emotion, to streamline it and to have an emotional closure to the saga and I can appreciate how well they put it together in that regard, but I still think it was a very simple story and, more importantly, it bothers me that they fucked with established canon and previous books' stories to create it the way they did. They took more complex elements and simplified them to tell a story that can be consumed by the masses, and they removed some major things such as Coen, the witcher that Ciri liked the most (after Geralt) and the fact that Emyr wanted to fuck his daughter. They also turned the White Frost into an alien eldritch monster creature thing that destroys world just for the hell of it instead of the inevitable entropy of the universe like it was in the books and retconned Eredin into killing the king, also the whole thing with Avalla'ch.

Ultimately, like I said, I understood why they did it and I can appreciate how well put together the story was, but I still think it was unforgivable to simply things like this just for the sake of a happy ending when everything about the book series was about the subversion of such cliches and I am upset that /v/ gave this a pass.

>>
>>334618725

It's not, though. I can't honestly think of many games with a good story beyond the LoK series, which sadly wasn't all that.

Witcher 3 has pretty good dialogue and line delivery for the most part, but the main story is retarded, and it's even worse if you've read the books. Not that those are significantly better.

I honestly think it's downright ironic that the games with the "best" stories and setting tend to be just about anything other than RPGs.

RPGs are as bad as their fantasy counterpart in books. How many good fantasy series are there? Barely fucking any. They're all clogged down by tons of pointless side shit and pointless world-building, and there's barely a story in sight.

Woah. I always thought the cringe images posted on /v/ were made by /v/ posters to bait other /v/ posters. The fact that people unironically are posting that picture makes me want to KMS. It's like that feeling you get when everyone around you thinks markiplier and smosh are hilarious, and you try your hardest to like them, but you can't do it and you slowly start to realize you're an outcast who will never have friends. Feels bad man.

It is.
Multiplayer is often just a box for shitheads to kill each other in.
It takes no real effort in making and begs for the possible graphics to be degraded to allow for all the character models.
Multiplayer doesn't require:
>a lot of assets
>a lot of recorded dialog or at least written dialog
>a lot of beta testing
>a lot of music
>a plethora of character designs
>various enemy designs
Compared to a long single player experience multiplayer is a dumb little minigame for casuals underlined by the kind of people most drawn to it
>children, the retarded and various low SAT scoring ethnicities

Who am I kidding.

It's got a lot of shit in it, sure, but it's all just monotonous bullshit and without modding the game or deliberately ignoring the main story you'll always end up as the great Dragonborn destined to do everything important.

People praise Skyrim for it's open-endedness, but when you realize that it's just a big world with nothing actually interesting to do, it becomes way less impressive.
