A Plague Tale: Requiem is literally my favorite game ever. It’s beautiful, it’s haunting, the story and characters are phenomenal, and don’t get me started on how much I just love sneaking around in high grass. It’s so silly but it’s a mechanic that I adore. I absolutely love the protector role in video games, where you’re actually kind of guarding the actual “hero/main character”, and I hope devs will make many more games like that. I was so upset every time Amicia was separated from Hugo, which just speaks volumes to my investment in their relationship. Innocence was good, but Requiem was phenomenal to me. Protector Of A Magical Child™ is the best trope 😂 You’ve also sold me on Cyberpunk! I already bought it a few months back during a sale, but now I’m even more excited to get into it! I decided to download it while watching the video and spend like an hour in character creation, as one does. BG3 has already gotten hundreds of hours of playtime out of me, of course. It’s definitely in my top ten of all time. Surprisingly, I do seem to prefer slightly more compact and linear narratives. Then again, I also love both Horizon games, but those are still more linear compared to BG3. I guess pretty much all games are compact if you compare them to BG3 😅 As for the rest, I have yet to buy and/or play them, but I’ve had my eye on some of them for a while, and some are already waiting in my Steam library. Thank you for the recommendations! So many games, so little time.
First off, thanks for watching. I really loved the plague tale games and I am especially sad that I didn't take the time to do a long form glow up for them and hell blade specifically. I'm not particularly adept at explaining why something feels good to play, but I do think I could have expressed why a game's narrative is effective. Those games had characters and stories that really resonated with me, but for one reason or another I couldn't get it together to take the time to make those videos. I tend to agree with you on more compact narratives. I think that baldur's gate 3 was more of an example of a game that was successful because of the interactivity in the game and with your actual ability to affect the narrative. I can say for myself, I won't look back on the game fondly reminiscing about the actual plot. The characters (including the antagonists) were really my stars of the show. Cyberpunk has a better mainline plot, but I felt very similarly about it as bg3 in that they got me involved with all the characters and their individual dilemmas to the point where I cared about the outcome. Obviously in regards to the actual gameplay and setting they are very different. I think the way the story is told might be your speed. Even though it's an open world game, the quests feel pretty well compartmentalized whereby each individual segment I felt I got some meaningful story or character background from it. Also, that presentation.... Thanks again for taking the time for watching and even more for commenting. Having people comment and tell me their thoughts keeps me from feeling like I'm talking to myself.
Awwww return of the Shep!!!!! OUT FOR A RIP BUD?
It's one of my Bi-Annual releases!
It's a great way to use the accumulated footage. It would be great to see similar videos in the future. At least, that's what I think😊
