There have been a few threads for best story in a retro game, but what about for the nes?
The 8-bit age was the era where more advanced story-telling was just beginning to form in gaming. Often primitive, the stories told tended to be incomprehensible, jumbled, or rushed together. But there were some exceptions.
Which nes games had the best stories in your opinion?
Do people actually read that shit? I thought long ass exposition was what you hated the most about modern gaming.
Dragon Quest/Warrior 4, hands down. Its chapter structure is incredibly unique even by today's standards. Not only do the first 4 chapters tell all the character's stories before joining the Hero in chapter 5, but those early chapters are also peppered with hints of the greater threat to come.

Ha ha, whoops! That wasn't the image I thought I was posting.

I don't think anybody hates stories per se, it's just that most modern games suffer from bad storytelling
>>2827430
Yes, because Ha ha was an expression never before used in the history of mankind before reddit came around.
Oh wait, no. You're just a retard.

Press F to pay respects.

And NES games are much better?

At least the NES has the excuse of limited hardware. If a modern game lacks in anyway, it's completely on the developers.

There's a difference between HD big-budget Michael Bay interactive movies catering toward what test audiences wanted in comparison with quaint ten second long cutscenes from an nes.
Less is more. And even if nes games aren't trying to be the next Citizen Kane (which they aren't), they're still enjoyable in the context of what is expected to be delivered.

NES games are usually better in this regard because they almost always let you skip their cutscenes and/or story segments if you want to skip them because you either have already seen them or simply don't give a fuck about them while many newer games (especially from 5th and 6th gen games) usually do this in form of unskippable FMV cutscenes which you are forced to watch every single time.
I want people who play modern games to go back to >>>/v/

I play both modern and retro. Where do I go?
Famicom Tantei Club or some other adventure game for the FDS. The snes remake of The Girl in Back is better than Snatcher.

>people getting triggered at the mere notion that retro games have stories in them
What the fuck /vr/?
>>2827419
Couple of things. Ninja Gaiden was considered revolutionary when it came out for its cutscenes.
Number 2, the narrative is not lengthy. There's just enough of it that it won't fit on a fortune cookie.

Personally, what I hate more is boring gameplay.

Shit taste.
