The Bardo Thodal is the Dark Souls of Last Rites.

has that ever happened? not really sure if 7th Saga counts

It's a decent tool when you need to "teach" the players things or dump exposition either through a tutorial or throughout the rest of the game. I won't say it can't be lazy, but if done right it's actually pretty good. Take Bayonetta for example.

Look, I just compared your favorite game to Dark Souls, better stop playing it

Heard about the last example of this shit?

...

getting really sick of people thinking "colorful" means "paintbrush rinse cup".

I like plots that spiral out of control like that. Conker did it well because your character just wanted to go home the entire time.

You just signed up to the guild but a day later you're running it after finishing all the quests.

Chrono Cross has to be the worst offender of this I've ever seen.

...

worse than FFX, really? at least the one in Chrono Cross was playable.

Sometimes i wish games were just droppin me into the gameplay from start and provided zero context. No wonder you are jrpg fan.

Seriously, who's raiding us this time?

Pfff, kids, let me show you how to do edgy template thread post:

It's been like this since the crash.

Hello cuckchan

FFX didn't just instantly drop you into combat in a large area with several doors to pick from immediately. Yes, it was poorly done and would have been better to just start with Tidus before the game, but at least the player knows which way is up so to speak.


1 - there's plenty of ways to drop someone into the middle of gameplay without the player wondering "What the fuck am I supposed to do now?" Dragon's Dogma comes to mind. Drops you right into combat in the shoes of someone you don't know in a situation you don't understand, but you don't feel lost because of the level design.
2 - you can fuck off to cuckchan with your hate of Japanese games.

You sound like butthurt liberal, who's multicultural propaganda was exposed.

Oh. so you're Holla Forums. Got it.

You got it wrong, weeb.
