ITT: well written video game characters

I AINT NOBODY'S ASS TECHNICIAN

BITCH

wew.

I think you miss the point. Niggers are so one-dimensional in their personality and vocabulary, nearly anybody could make a believable black character in a video game.

...

Forgot to include his childhood friend, he's also pretty well written.

ISSSSSSSSSS OH GEEEEEE
ISSSSSSSSSS OH GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

...

...

eyo, EYO, EYO MA MAN CEE JAY

not even kidding

You both miss the point. A nig can't be well written because they are so one dimensional. It doesn't matter if you write them that way, that still doesn't make them well written.

OG was going to college before becoming an ass technician in prison though. That alone makes him 3 dimensional.

...

I thought Dwayne in GTA4 was pretty well written.

XRA will never not be funny.

...

Reported for racism.

Case in point.

Almost every character in Metal Gear.

Your mom's escort ad is well written too.

Even the best brick is dull and uninteresting though.

You shouldn't compare blacks to bricks, bricks do a job every day, contribute to your safety, keep homes together by sticking around, they don't steal your bike and the more of them you have around you the more your house is worth.

...

A brick is more stable than a nig.

we wuz technicianz

Her attitude was spot on.

Structural bricks maybe, but they need to be the same as possible to maintain consistent and predictable integrity and conditions, whether is one structure or many.

Theres also decorative bricks which are used eg in facings or facades and look nice. By best do you mean most decorative? Because theres a lot of types of decorative bricks too

...

The quad confirms. This is also true in the novel, meanwhile Deirdre pre-emptively genocided the whole Spartan faction through Dream Twister a la Freddie Krueger because scary soldiers and muh feefees, muh totally friendly environment, muh trees and rape worms, while still thinking she is the good girl. Prove that this is what happens when we let hippies run the show and do not hang them anymore.

It's interesting how the game's story paints Miriam as the voice of moderation, while the last tie-in novel (Twilight of the Mind) pretty much condemns her to being responsible for human extinction:

Got the pdf of those books? I came across them in school library when I was in 9th year. Want to read them again though but it seemed the pdf version is non-existent.

*pooong*

Context?

Go back to Reddit, memespouter.

The pooinloo is pretty reasonable as well. But nobody likes him.

I haven't been able to find them myself, user. The only stories I could find were the two free stories - one that serves as the prologue to the first game and the second that introduces the SMAX factions. I did find the Prima SG in PDF form, though - it's notable if only for the fact Morgan looks old and sickly as fuck with the picture they used of him. If you want that, let me know.

Are you familiar with Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, user?

It's basically a game based on the Civilization I/II victory condition of sending your people to Alpha Centauri, hence the name. The game begins as seven competing ideological factions land on the planet Chiron ("Planet") in the Alpha Centauri star system. As the game progresses, Planet's growing sentience becomes a formidable obstacle to the human colonists.

Sister Miriam Godwinson was the leader of the Lord's Believers, the fundamentalist Christian faction. SMAC fans usually hate her due to the insane patterns her AI would go through every playthrough - milking you for every tech you had and constantly striving to exterminate your faction from the face of Planet.

But if you paid attention to the lore the game provides with every tech advance and the Journey to Centauri prologue, you'd see a more nuanced portrayal of her. She doesn't like how every other faction is spiralling out of control with the pursuit of technology and power. Humanity is essentially dehumanizing itself before her very eyes - Yang's recycling tanks, Deirdre's mindworm fetish, concepts like the Dream Twister and the Self Aware Colony and so on - and she insists that her people choose a different course ("We Must Dissent").

In the game, it's said that she and her followers accidentally kill themselves via a Psi Gate (teleportation device).

Sister Miriam Godwinson, "Last Testament"

However, in most playthroughs people do, she's one of the first to be gotten rid of due to her AI.

The books basically eschewed all that in favor of her being the villain, working with Yang and ultimately causing human extinction by lobbing Planet Busters at Morgan and Santiago.

That's why I believe Sister Miriam is a well written character. Plus, she does have some pretty solid quotes:

— Sister Miriam Godwinson - "But for the Grace of God"

That's true, but no one likes him because everyone thinks he's limp-wristed bureaucrat from an organization that doesn't exist anymore and who wants to clone his dead wife so he can bone her again.

*well written character. It would've been extremely easy to typecast her as a mere nutjob, but she wasn't so much something out of Jesus Camp as she was someone who just wanted people to remember who they were and where they came from.

Deirdre ironically said it herself:


Yet Deirdre, with her use of the mind worms, ultimately becomes that tragedy.

Miriam sought better, but ultimately was lost in the shuffle of human history.

Unironically. Also including every single Snake.

Best writing in any game series ever. Too bad Greg Kirkpatrick left and Bungie was never good again.

The best little brother I never had.

And thats why tiles are superior.

I feel like you missed the point of MGS2

He is talking about metal gear rising though

>>>/suicide/

MGS4 was even fucking worse, since he was an edgelord the whole way through. At least in MGR it was at least fun in the way it was done, in MGS4 it is actually serious about it. Only at the end does he become slightly less of an edgelord but throughout the entirety of the game itself he is a complete and utter autist. And this is especially true in South America if you actually bother listening to him on Codec.

...

I meant in terms of functionality, of use to society.


That's the mistake niggers make, misguidedly slapping a load of cheap gold and faux diamonds on their form to look less like a slab of human turd.

I suppose the 'best brick' would be one that is an exemplar of precise measurement, weight, density etc, a 'standard setter' but then by design they should *all* be so none of them can be considered special, or perhaps they could only by some autist who has a boner.

Tiles are good for design, but they'll not keep the loony nextdoor from skinning you in your sleep.

underrated post

...

Speaking of MGS 4:

Good game, good character, great devs (at the time)

Shit sword

Torx is objectively superior to phillips

Not memeing.

and objectively inferior to Torq

The main character in Fallout 4™ is exceptionally well written, not only are his motivations completely understandable and relatable no but he's also a complex and deep personality. The best way to insert yourself into that complex and deep personality is, of course, Fallout 4™ VR®
And if you want even more complex and deep personalities, I suggest you buy the Fallout 4™ Season Pass for only

She was pretty good, but I always went with Morgan Industries. Morgan was entertaining.

I agree actually. A child clearly with issues but still wanting to try to do something worthwhile and good in the world. Something made them just hate the world, and in the immature interpretation of things they sought to set things right by siding with the monsters. After that failed, they just wanted to end everything. It's an emo temper tantrum, but fairly realistic for a troubled child in a position of unnatural power.

What sold it for me was that he has an immature mentality, but he was determined. He had a goal in mind and he was dead set on it.
The entire rest of the game was dealing with adults who couldn't stick to their decisions. It was nothing but waffling around and nothing got done. Chara was the only character in that whole fucking game that actually set out to do something, and in a sense he was the only one that actually succeeded in his goals.

I know that this is a joke, but I mean to talk about this seriously for a moment.

The way that the game immediately places you in the shoes of a seemingly doting father/mother of a newborn baby feels very shallow when you've only been given that responsibility for 10 minutes at the most. Honestly, who actually buys the game and picks up the story caring about the future of their son in this game? Fucking nobody. That baby is effectively a non entity, and when Kelloggs takes that child you're under the assumption that the child is safe and being kept alive. So why, all of a sudden, is getting your child back suddenly top priority for the player? Fallout NV made it personal by having your character survive a failed assassination attempt at the start of the game. Fallout 4 tries to make it personal by placing you in control of the member of a family that you've known for 10 whole minutes by the time their child gets abducted. I don't think it's possible to gain an emotional investment by that point, especially when the child will always have a mixed race complexion, and will always appear the same way, regardless of your character's facial structure and physical qualities.

...

wrong webm

Pretty sure my demon spawn was white though

though I agree it's fucking retarded for the writers to expect the player to care about a family member under any circumstances, even more so in the beginning of the game, see Far Cry 3, and Watch Dogs. GTA IV is the only example I can think of that changes this around.

...

I think Farcry 3 did this a little better by having your brother try to help you escape from the clutches of Vaaz at the beginning of the game, and by this point the player has perhaps built at least a small attachment to the man simply because they helped them navigate a way out, or at least accompanied them in doing so.

Watch Dogs I cannot comment on because i've never played it, nor do I plan to.

GTA 4 does it very well IMO, the player is put into the shoes of niko, and we know his story will open up as the game progresses, rather than being absolutely naked and bare for all eyes to see at the very start of the game. GTA 4 gives Niko and Roman a little intrigue, whereas in Fallout 4, your child is essentially an accessory to the rest of the game. They're not essential, they're purely included as a plot device rather than a pivotal character.

Kinda hard to give a shit about the intro to NV either when it's an FMV with zero player involvement. At least it's skippable.

Hard to give a shit about your dad in FO3, too. I'm expecting FO5 will be about you searching for your spouse that you've known for 5 minutes.

They will collect semen.

I've often gone with all the factions myself, depending on what I feel like at the time.

Sometimes I'll even customize the fields. Combine that with the mods out there and this shit is timeless.

Vid related.

Tidius or Auron

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHA AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA in all seriousness this game is fucking fantastic, from the story to the characters, everything is perfect

You keep doing this shit and we're going to spend the next decade with faggots posting about how great and underrated Fallout 4 is.

THEY'RE ALREADY HERE

There are already people here who actually think this ironic shitpost is accurate, they just keep their retarded opinions to themselves. If you keep posting this garbage eventually you won't be able to distinguish the shitposters from the serious ones. Then every time anyone mentions Fallout for the rest of time you're going to have to argue with a faggot who thinks FO4 is actually good.

Keep pretending to be retarded and retards will think hating bad games is just a meme and that their shit taste is welcome here.

Well? FO4 is a good game, I'm sorry you can't make a better one?

You even have mods and a rich toolset available to you, and don't have to worry about the assets, yet you'll complain about anything

Actually, in terms of well written characters, I'd say Tidus.

He's a star in his dreamworld and has it all taken away from him, but he doesn't immediately freak out, he's more in shock for a lot of the game, and while he's sad when he accepts that he can't go home, he takes it in stride.

He complains, but it's justified since he was wrested away from a starry life and thrown into the boonies. He falls in love, and it changes him from a dork into a real guardian for the one he loves.

At the beginning, he's a kind hearted child, and at the end, he's a man who accepts his fate knowing that he can at least save the one he loves, and save her country from further suffering.

Auron's there to give him tiny pushes in the right direction and helps him with his grief as a surrogate father and in fact raised Tidus, which unfortunately we don't get to see much of. If we did see how Auron fared as a godfather, he'd be the better character.

They play off each other well.

Obviously the best.

Obviously the best.

That game gets a lot of shit, but that game has my favorite characterization in the series. The character interactions are excellent, and they were done in a way that makes you like the characters - or at least see where they're coming from.

Ray was actually my favorite character in IV. The guy was a fucking sleazeball, and everyone knew it, but his sleaze had a certain charm to it that made him really likeable. Even though you still kill him at the end for being a snake.

It's a shame that GTA 5 went backwards and half-assed the trio. Michael had so much potential, and was clearly supposed to be the central character, but they had to add in a token nigger for the CJ cocksuckers, and Trevor for le edgy crazy guy. Even the supporting characters were all fucking garbage, with an ending that felt incomplete and half-assed. Wasted potential all around.

Pretty much sums up why the GTA 5 story blew.
Missions were fun though

...

...

No, seriously, this is a legitimate statement.

I mean, I sat through it. Tough to say I actually played anything. MGR was still worse up until Armstrong.

MY NAME IS NOT IMPORTANT
WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS WHAT I AM GOING TO DO

The best place to post this I suppose

...

I don't see what's so complex about wanting to purge furfags

But we love you user!

you couldn't save him

Is it actually?
Never played it, is everything actually good and the people who say it isn't are just memeing?

The tidus laughing is a meme and the game is worth playing

I'm not surprised.

You haven't known many niggers apparently. New Holla Forums really is trash, because even at one time this wouldn't have been a point.

They made it even worse with him saying that he only wanted out of this and wanted to quit the Triads. How panicked he was when you dropped him off. And the next time you see him, he hangs gutted in a side street. Goddamn Sleeping Dogs was a masterpiece.

Holy shit do you even know how stupid you sound? You straight up just did the thing leftycucks accuse you of doing.

From what I've seen of the "story," GTA V was essentially Male PMS: The Game. Michael/Trevor spent every waking moment fucking arguing like a couple of bitches, while Franklin plays the token happy go nigger. The supporting characters were such garbage to the point one of them, Jimmy de Santa, makes GTA V literally unplayable.


The story of this franchise, really. They really need to drop this LOLmerica BS and start telling stories, not jacking themselves off like the Simpsons writers do.

Playing a GTA game is like listening to the love child of Lisa Simpson and Brian Griffin. I'd rather cut R-Star out and just listen to a George Carlin routine for free on YouTube.

He just wanted Jiu Mei to like him. He was probably Wei's only real friend in that whole gang. Except Winston, but, well…

You see what you've done with your ironic shitposting?

It was one of the very few games post-2006 I actually gave a shit about.

Figures that the devs then get their shit pushed in and no longer make games.

Never get your hopes up, goyim. Shekels will always outmatch dreams.

Remember, only have sex with lolis if they initiate it.

Descartes never said that.

...

Oh yeah Mr.wise guy philosophy major, how would you know huh? Were you around when he didn't say that?

...

...

I wish there was an actual paranormal latenight show that isn't Self-Advertising 101 for book writers who don't believe their own shit.

Strauss and Andrei both portrayed what actually marked powerful vampire - both are polite to a fault (well, unless you are a Tremere in the case of Andrei), but still could be fiendishly scary if you get on their bad side.

As with most 2hu characters, 90% of the "writing" is just fancanon, but ZUN left enough breadcrumbs to give some very strong hints as to what Yukari and Maribel have in common.
