@Ward_Darlin Terrifier 2 dove straight into lorebait & overcomplicating such a simple, effective premise: grimey goofy killer mime. Idk why they made a grand prophecy narrative around the actual meat of the experience, seeing what depraved slapstick nonsense Art gets up to while killing folk

@Asgaarth MK as a whole honestly needs a massive shift on almost every level. Story’s shit, writing’s shit, character designs are shit, gameplay’s shit. They need a full sweep upheaval behind the scenes

My hot take is that the Mortal Kombat franchise no longer needs Ed Boon. And I came to that conclusion when I heard that he turned down multiple logical pitches for how MK11’s story would carry on from MKX, only to finally approve this shit.

@TigoODonnell I feel ER specifically ends up encouraging this line of thinking the most simply cuz there actually *is* a thoughtout history of events. It’s the most lore centric game where lore actually matters. Meanwhile something like Dark Souls feels more vibe-based in its storytelling

Part of the issue of talking about FromSoft narrative discussion is the overt focus people have on item descriptions instead of level design, NPC interactions, environmental storytelling, art direction, enemy/boss design, mechanics, and cinematography that also tells a story.
crescens@crescenswings

I hate how people talk about modern fromsoft games on here. "Yeah it's super meaningful if you read the item descriptions in the optional roguelike side mode" can we be serious

@RestTarRr @Rechardart Atp why even replay the game? If people are skipping past the videogame levels in their videogame something is fundamentally askew. It highlights how spectacle & bosses have taken over the zeitgeist. Give people a generally pretty backdrop & cool boss and that’s all they want now

@Rechardart It's not that they discourage it. DS2 just prevents you from running past shit. Nothing is stopping you from clearing enemies in ER if that's what you enjoy doing. IMO that's the better approach because not everyone loves clearing levels again and again.

Playing DS2 has made me realise how much I love actually clearing a level and going through it slowly, DS3 and Elden Ring really discourage that and it’s quite disappointing.

@blackironframe @ClericKnight Not nearly enough of those ideas, unfortunately. How ER didn’t follow up on bonfire ascetics or at least a way to refight bosses is criminal

@ClericKnight I mean the real generous take is that DS2 introduced early prototypes of good ideas that would later be implemented well in Elden Ring

Rewatching that "In Defense of Dark Souls 2" video to force myself to be open-minded and having to stop and take a break every 10 minutes when Mr Bomber says something like "You're actually not supposed to use the lock-on mechanic" or "Dark Souls' connected world is bad actually"

@lotfgame @BGroundNPC I don’t mind horny but these don’t feel like they fit the established art direction. Scion’s design strikes a balance of horny & ethereal, there’s an ornate design philosophy there. These armors range from feeling like they from a different game to simply being rather uninspired

As much as I like Radahn, him taking too much portion of the narrative while having zero characterization kinda annoyed me. Bro is "kind and strong" and that's it. Something about him doesn't sit right to me
Guy@Invinium

On a real note these mfs at fromsoft don't play about Radahn. He always gets patches & fixes if he has issues, he gets brought back for another fight, he gets high levels of care and build up, the item descriptions and NPCs always have good things to say. Favoritism the demigod.

@JarJarMedia Ideally it shouldn’t be an either/or situation. If movie breaks lore but is ultimately good I’ll be happy but there’s no law that says you must mess with the world building in order to be good. It can be both

@Atma_Avatar @JJiggem @allenvonghornet There’s been a shift in what that trial & error entails. In older games it focused on a key weakness or hidden counterplay, like using a divine weapon vs Nito’s ads or pendant vs Manus’ dark magic. Now it’s become trying to wrap your head around the absurdity of attack animations
