Why is subtle lore so much more interesting than obvious lore?
>>334864053
I don't really get how this is considered lore.
He's afraid of you when he's small because he thinks you'll squash him. What else is there to say?
Its like finding 2 dollars as opposed to being given 2 dollars.
2 isn`t shit when someone just gives it to you, but then you find 2 dollars its like the best thing in the world.
>>334864053
it disguises the devs hand, making the world seem more like a place of unlimited, untold discoveries, rather than a guided, shallow experience
you fill the gaps with your imagination
DUDE WHAT IF MARIO WAS A RACIST LOL
Why does the HUD in SM64 look like absolute shit?
>>334864053
Obvious lore is usually obvious because the game is interrupted for the sake of telling you a story made by some hack that isn't good enough to have their script picked up for a movie but still insists on shoving it somewhere.
Subtle lore doesn't take away from gameplay.
>>334864053
lore is a body of traditions

then why isnt mario scared of koopa when he is larger than mario?
>>334864541
People that fail in movie writing often end up writing for videogames. They don't understand the medium and believe that the story should interrupt the game
>>334864698
because you control him, you idiot
>>334864053
Because if you find out for yourself, you like it more because you feel like the idea belongs to you.
Even if the "subtle" lore is actually pretty obvious.
As a law student we're taught this for debates and moots and such. If you just tell someone something, they're going to either agree or disagree with you. If you can lead someone into thinking it for themselves, they will always agree with you. They're not going to think their own idea is stupid, after all.
>>334864698
Mario beats the shit out of them all the time, in various shapes and sizes.
Or I could ask you why you aren't scared of him, since you're the one controlling him.
>>334864053
Humans like solving puzzles. It's why you like games to begin with.

M-mozart?
>>334865231
Oh, this reminds me. Have you ever wondered why you knew getting mushrooms makes you bigger?
Apparently, the goomba was the last enemy made and it was to serve a tutorial purpose. You quickly associate "mushroom thing = enemy" and you jump on it. So when you see a mushroom almost immediately after you try to jump on it again only to realise it's a power up.
>>334865443
>needing to be told that the item that comes out of a "?" box isnt an enemy
>>334865756
Imagine this is the first time you ever played a video game, anon.
>>334865443
I thought it was the other way around. When people were testing it, they would try to avoid the mushroom because they thought it was something bad. So they designed the beginning of the level to where new players would most likely hit the mushroom even after they tried to avoid it.

Why not just change the colour of the toon then?

It adds an extra layer of satisfaction because it feels like you figured it out yourself.
I like stories in games but I don't care for stopping to read lore or the scope of gameplay being held back because the game wants to hammer something into my head, so I like little things like OP's pic even though that's a very minor example.

I think the real reason it was called the xbox 360 was because they felt xbox 2 sounded inferior to playstation 3

World 1 is a desert, I guess?
>>334874250
And that's why they put the bone against the PS4.

It's charming though.
>>334874707
>anything about the bone
>making sense
>>334874832
Exactly.
>>334874250
And then they called the next Xbox the Xbox One and it barely sold 20 million compared to PS4's 100
>>334864541
Are you actually retarded?
Because /v/idya doesn't hire real writers, at least for anything other than witty banter.
Looks like Mario
>>334875092
I'm pretty sure they were trying to be clever with the name, cause basically everyone called the Xbox 360 just "The 360", and they assumed everyone would call the new one "The One". Pretty amusing how things turned out with that piece of shit.
>>334875641

i'm not sure if it's still possible for this to be interesting as a result of the odd combinations, or if it's doomed to just demonstrate i can't create anything new, only manipulate that which exists.
Prepare to have your mind blown.

The fact that the pics are from an emulator proves it's not a Nintendrone, as they would own it on the N64 and would have grabbed the shots from there years ago.
No, this prove it's a recent retard who's just a memelord. He became obsessed with all the SM64 memes that have been popping up in the past two years so he downloaded it himself, desperately trying to find that hot new meme to share. That fucking shit is the best he could do, so he spams it almost daily.

Not only is it a different sprite entirely, it has a white outline and red center showing it isn't supposed to look like a coin, and the stem shows it isn't even a coin lore-wise.
