Stephen King is tasked in rewriting the story for the last game you've played.

How is it /v/?
>>
Fallout: New Maine
>>
>Overwatch
It can't get any worse I guess. The story so far is shit.
>>
>>343754668
I literally don't give a fuck about story in video games, anyone who does is a fucking neckbeard.

>Solid Roland
>Liquid Flagg
I'm okay with this

>>343754668
>UnderRail
The only thing that changed is the location of the metro system - it's of course in Maine.
Also all the the weird stuff has a much stronger emphasis on supernatural
>>
>>343754668
>Spess engineers
Autistic simulator becomes a proper game.
>>
>>343754668
>deus ex

couldn't be any worse than what we got.

also, is Stephen king actually a good writer?
I feel like I'm being meme'd sometimes.
>>
MGSV: The Phantom Maine
>>
>>343755549
Up until his car accident he was a really, really good writer. After the accident he dropped in quality considerably, BUT is still head and shoulders above everyone else in the business of genre books. Plus he doesn't stick with single genre either, which is helpful.

What is really meme'd is Maine. He uses it often, but not as hard as memes imply.
>>
>>343755549
Yes, he is a fantastic writer (if you read the right book). Some of them are stinkers, but i'd say the majority is good to great, with a few being 10/10.
If you just wanna see him at his best, read The Dark Tower series, his magnum opus.
>>
>Tales of Zesitira
>Rewright where Sorey and Mikleo are shota and talking about sex
>Maybe even showing their cocks to each other
>>343755734
His only big problem is endings. His stories are full of suspense and wonder. But he always falls flat because he feels the need to give us too much information. IT was one of the best story I have ever read but the last 1/4 ruins the whole thing when he felt the need to explain the Turtle and all the other weirdness.

Greatly depends on what you are reading. I would go as far and say most of them don't follow the "rule" you've just described.

Haha

Oh boy.
>>
>>343756179
Maybe. I tend to think his short stories tend to be his best. Since he forces himself to not go completely off the wall and writing nonesense for 200+ pages.
>>
>>343754668
>Silent Hunter 3 by King
So basically Prisoner of Ice 2

>>343756420
Different anon, but I started reading him with short stories, then went for thicker and thicker books, until I hit Dark Tower. Never got tired. It was his modern stuff that was subpar, not the lenght of it.
>>
>Mass Effect
it will finally have a good story
>>
>>343756696
Read Revelation Space if you want Mass Erect done properly.
>>
>>343756696
Stephen king is a meme author
>>
>>343756008
Writer here. This often happens when writing material and thus why genre books are often too vague or dump exposition; the writer is too saturated and cannot properly adopt a reader's view and spoils a perfectly good piece of fiction.

It starts out nice but then he introduces supernatural elements and then it gets all melodramatic and shit
>>
Hatsune Miku Project DIVA.

It had no actual story, but if it had one by King?
>>
>>343759106
I wanna see this
>>
>Risk of Maine

A washed-up author (because what else) living in Maine (because where else) finds a mysterious ukulele in his front lawn. Gradually, other strange objects begin turning up, and it turns out they are from a damaged cargo spaceship that was attacked by the forces of evil on another level of the Tower (because it's all the Tower). Shit goes down and the ending is mildly disappointing.

Risk of Rain would be cool to see

It's fun being a fan of his writing. For example he has a recurring villain who is basically the demon Legion. You come to recognize him through physical description and mannerisms, he appears in multiple stories under different names and faces and serves a cosmic Satan entity named The Crimson King.

I'd recommend The Long Walk as a starting point, then The Stand if you think you like his style. I would hold off on reading the Dark Tower series until you're immersed in his fictional universe a bit.

So, the same game but takes place in rural Maine?

So like Doom 3, but Doomguy finds out at the end of the game that he's also a demon, and is compelled to kill himself.

Technomancer.

Cyberpunk Maine sounds interesting and stupid at the same time.
