>Great stories
>Any of those games

Last of Us had well written characters, the story was a mash-up of apocalypse tropes. The Witcher 3 had a well written world, the main quest was pretty basic. Skyrim's main story is terrible and most everything else was terrible. Fallout 4 was just terribly written all around.

Ignoring that, sure. I'd always prefer a good story to multiplayer components forced into games. A good example is Dragon Age Inquisition. Instead of forcing in a terrible multiplayer system that everyone has forgotten, maybe they should've made the story better and not had totally shit characters/villains. But multiplayer has a time and place. Look at Overwatch. I doubt anyone is asking for a story from that game, maybe a single player campaign but not a story.

TL;DR All of those games have okay to bad writing and stories should be improved but multiplayer has a role.

Skyrim is the pinnacle of stories, its constantly rated as the best story in any game, right next to walking dead and bioshock infinite, which are both superb. Skyrim however is on another level, a story that will go down in history as one of, if not the greatest accomplishment in human history. Fact

That's very unballsy.

>tough decisions? you want mass effect?
No you dumb fuck he meant Joel. Joel might have had to kill somebody who had done nothing but right by them but then their infected friend is killed by their other friend who then self-pwns, leaving them back where they started with clean hands and all.

>the animals point
you just missed this one completely. He's saying that the story was saying the fungus shit was a purely human catastrophe and that life otherwise goes on for the rest of Earth, as shown by grand shots of light shining down on glorious greenery while giraffes roam around free at last. The problem is that The Last of Us bludgeons you in the face with what could have been interesting subtext. Your question about anon taking offense makes me suspect you're retarded.

>I watch more movies than video games
Maybe if you pulled your head out of your ass and quit the Iron man movies Sarah's death would have gone in and out of your head in the space of 5 seconds like it did for the rest of the planet.

>all human enemies are men, I wanna kill women
who cares. You can brutally execute women anytime in the multiplayer anyway

>implying Joel didn't make enough tough decisions during the main game
what about the ending? His decision there possibly doomed mankind.

>implying Joel ever had "clean hands" during the main game
he said he used to be a hunter who murdered random people for their stuff. He also brutally kills like 200 people during the gameplay, sometimes as they beg him for mercy.

>implying that the giraffe scene seriously was saying that the world would better off with humanity in the state it was in during the game
That scene was to show bonding between Joel and Ellie, and to have a small bright spot in an otherwise very depressing game. I'm sure infected would kill animals too if they could catch them and if they weren't huge like giraffes.

>those movies
You don't see the kid's crying/suffering faces as they die in either Mad Max or even Come and See like you did in TLOU. Come and See had that one kid (from the cover) who looked really scared with the gun pointed to his head, and a bunch of laughing nazis and screaming children as it showed the burning house. It's mostly shocking and only sad because shit like that may have actually happened in WW2. Mad Max just showed the wife and son fall down and then the boy's ball bouncing away

>implying you aren't the anon who made that post
no. I'm the anon who once chained 38 max character-limit posts together in a row to explain exactly why I dislike the game.

And the only meme-chevron you've 'quoted' me on that's relevant to what I wrote is the giraffe thing, which is the least consequential one. It might have doubled with bonding but I felt like I was being punched in the face with raw NATURE. The Joel and Ellie bonding stuff felt poorly handled too though, I think it was very graceless how they went from tolerating each other in homotown to interactive fist-bumping technology in autumn. Her whole character just irritated me though, maybe it was the performance from the actress, felt too eager to endear herself.

and

no, and this was before the archive was kill so it's gone forever.

The gist of it was that I think everything the game is praised for is done better by other games. Nier used gameplay structure to get me to give a shit about a pile of polygons that represented a daughter and Resident Evil 4 did an amazing job of making your escort and active part of the gameplay without being a big no-fun anchor.

Then there were very long autistic bits where I went into minute detail as to why the combat is fucked and the stealth sucks balls and all that. I still REALLY like the multiplayer though, somebody should expand the idea of hobo-counterstrike into a full game.

The Witcher 3 has an excellent story, IF you played and finished the other two games. Otherwise you won't give one single crunchy chocolate fuck about any of the characters.

You could say this is a flaw of the game, and I would not be inclined to disagree with you. However, The Witcher 3 is the only one in OPs post that actually has a good story.

one of these days an anon's going to come along and remember what I did for this board. All gone, like tears in the rain.

Saving your own posts is lame though so fuck that. I don't mind losing it. If you feel like I wasted time I'll fucking start again, see if I won't.

GAMEPLAY:
The Last of Us plays from a third person perspective that should feel familiar if you've ever played Uncharted. You control Joel and at one point Ellie and your goal is to guide them past obstacles to safety that lies at some point in the far distance. These obstacles consist of the environment and hostile humanoids.

First off the environmental 'obstacles' if we can really call them that. You might think this was a non-element in the game since you don't remember any of them well, but that's not because they weren't around much, it's just because they were so boring. Thinking back hard I think that at least 1/4 of the game consists of this. But what exactly is it? These environmental obstacles consist of navigating your way through dilapidated buildings and overgrown wilderness without any immediate threats facing you. I understand what they were going for here, these function as your down-time. Nobody's shooting you, no monsters are eating you, you just walk around with Ellie looking for a ladder to shift, or a pallet to push or something like that and along the way if you look through some cupboards you might find some bullets and all the while Ellie and Joel will talk to fill the air and maybe flesh out their characters and relationships.

This might sound okay but I didn't approve. To me it felt like an incredibly lazy way to provide some rhythm and structure to the gameplay and give some substance to the game that isn't another way to kill things. From a gameplay point of view the problem is first the simplicity, the game changes from a third person shooter to an incredibly braindead point and click adventure game- [end here]

Pretty much.
I remember Lisa's story for how brutal it was.
I remember Papers, please's story for how it was told and how it got to me.

I never play multiplayer and I'm indifferent to games with a story, I honestly prefer games without stories, more arcade experiences. Oh look at the time, I've got to go kill myself now.

Staaaaaahp staaaaaaaahp I'm already hurting.

I was so... I don't know the right word... Enamoured? With the call-sign "Mobius 1", that when I played the next game and my call-sign was "Garuda 1" I was like "Fuck that shit, I'm Mobius 1".
Two missions later I was completely invested as Garuda 1.

But the last of us didn't have a good story and skyrim didn't have a story at all

i think you mean back story, son

lore is traditions and knowledge held by a group of people, who pass them down through word of mouth or otherwise

Story should never EVER come at the expense of gameplay.
Go back to living in cardboard boxes in Hollywood, you movie business rejects.

Why not both?

While I agree with you that gameplay > story, story isn't the least important part. A good story can make a good game great.

>unskippable cutscenes
>story forcefed to you through long walking segments you have to control your character through

Nothing is worse. Max Payne 3 has some of the most satisfying shooting in any vidya to me, but I stopped replaying it over and over because having to watch minutes of bullshit about rich Brazilians between being able to shoot people wore me down.

- your interactions with the game world are boiled down to walking up to glowing stuff and pressing [triangle]. Naughty Dog knew that they couldn't make a game that was entirely killing people. It would be a barbaric mess and also where would they fit the story? My problem is that they went with the absolute most half-assed, barebones solution to this dilemma. You are forced to walk and get expositioned at whenever they decided that the game could use a break from violence. I understand completely that games do need breaks from violence and they wanted to Joel and Ellie's relationship being formed through quieter moments like this, but they were so caught up in these storytelling ideas that they put gameplay to the side. You shouldn't do that.

I think that the biggest problem with this is replayability, where a game really gets put to the test in my opinion. Any good movie, book, game whatever should be enjoyed more going back through it. What is left to these sizeable segments of the game to please me, or even hold my attention if I go back to them? Will my more nuanced understanding of the game's mechanics allow me to try something new or complete the tasks required of me more skillfully and efficiently? Will some insight I've gained into the relationship between the characters add a new dimension to the dialogue? Or will it just be revealed as tedious filler?

The game's flow is aiming for these tense and at times chaotic action segments followed by these more mellow bits, but when you can feel the reins on you, which I think Naughy Dog did a poor job of here, it doesn't feel natural. It feels like I'm being forced to move at the game's pace for the sake of what they see as the ideal experience.-[end here]

Read a fucking book if you want a good story.
Stories add literally nothing to video games.

You can put co-op in any game and it will make the game better

Why?
You mean your "story-rich" games, with incredibly shitty gameplay, but hey, at least it has a good story xD
Fuck off.

>>343275661
the last of us has a multiplayer and i'd argue about a great stories of TES skyrim and fallout 4

>>343284860
I actually played them, I just did it totally out of order. I'm not sure why... Took a pretty huge break after I beat 4 at least 3 times in a row.

when have you ever put up with bad gameplay for the sake of story?

Look at how Doom handles pacing. Despite the reputation you don't spend the entire game in a red haze of shooting and death. Whenever I play I spend a lot of time milling around searching for stuff. The thing is though that in high-level play somebody who's played the game plenty and knows where everything is can fly through that shit and slaughter everything practically non-stop because they're so on top of finding those keycards. On the other hand if I'm playing particularly badly I can take my time looking for health and armor and just admire the architecture. Either way you're actively playing the game. Doom has slow and kicked back moments and insane hectic action. And neither of them take agency away from the player or fuck with the basic rules. You move and shoot, that's it. But with The Last of Us you third person shoot one minute, then you walk around laddering the next. It feels like clear division is made between when Naughty Dog say you're allowed to play and when you have to stop.

Anybody interested in this? I'm just waiting for my next fucking Dominions turn to come in.

Example is ace combat. Without story it's still a great jet fighting sim.
With story they're amazing and more memorable as it provides context to what you're doing, making you feel more badass.

I wish we got another L.A. Noire. It's that old school style of storytelling, where everything is revealed through small, slow details that build momentum to a bigger picture. I like when things start out really small and over time they become something much bigger.
>>
>>343275661
I think when people say they want great story in a game, its an expression of something else. I enjoy both story and gameplay in my games, and there absolutely can be both. Its not necessarily a matter of one over the other. But I think the most important thing that people often forget is atmosphere. Atmosphere is what really makes you feel the game come alive. A fleshed out world and setting, all drawn together by music, art, level design, gameplay, and story. This is what makes games great.

Also, multiplayer is fun, especially co-op.

Those quests are literally just to get you to the new areas you mong. Every one of them branches off into smaller quests that at first seem less pertinent to the story, but end up coming around to helping you on your mission.

>>343284240
>should feel familiar if you've played Uncharted
Except that the only similarity between the two is that they are 3rd person.

>This might sound okay, but I didn't approve
Oh shit everyone, gather all the discs and burn them. Anon doesn't approve.

>the game changes from a third person shooter to an incredibly brain dead point and click adventure game
Fuck, still better than being just a third person shooter.

To be honest, I don't even like the game too much, it was a good 8/10 tops. I just think you're a sperg.
>>
>>343284087
Did you like, not do any side quests at all?
Did you just finish the main story then go "SHIT GAME" and uninstall it?
Seems that way
