Tale Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) It's basically some site that lets people do user submitted lists. It's a silly one, but don't take it as a sign of more than it is. Just some guy on the internet. It's probably just another symptom of the intellectualized rationalization of entertainment. "I like something, it must be smart! I think stories are smart. STORY" You'd be surprised how common that is. Edited May 10, 2011 by Tale "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

C2B Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 FF8 I always wondered why you like that game so much. What was so exceptional or well written about FF8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purkake Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Was this really thread-worthy? This is like GAF having 50-page threads about the most obscure lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamoulian War Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I really do not know, when I played it last time, it seemed to me even more linear than FFXIII... and I did noticed that I still hate Squall now, like I was hating him 10+ years ago, when I played FFVIII for the first time...

HoonDing Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I wouldn't really put any RPGs in such a list in the first place, save maybe Summoner or Anachronox. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different people, different opinions... That rings a bell somehow... wasn't that the whiny emo boy that you felt a dire need to put over you knee and give a good spanking? One of those FF games had a PC demo a long time ago (can't remember if it was VIII, but that guy together with the horrors of the control scheme made me swear never to touch a FF game again in any shape or form As for games with good stories, I mentally seperate them into two categories, one where you experience the game writers story and the other (my favourite) where the game provides you with a setting, mechanics and freedom to experience you own story (which may vary from one playthrough to another). As for the best of the former kind, that is about as subjective as asking if Coke is better than Pepsi. It can be technically brilliant, yet utter dull if the subject matter doesn't interest you. The latter leaves it entirely to your own imagination whether the story is worth experiencing. Sadly the latter type of game is as rare as an honest politician in an election year “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

He actually makes some progress during the game. "We're all from the same orphanage and the reason we forgot that was because we used GF's so much" and "Time Compression" were two plotpoints that got me more.

Walsingham Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 What the **** is Oblivion doing in that list? It's got a story straight out of every Buffy season ending. Dying order, hell is coming, you are the only one who can get all the maguffins and stop disaster. At least I assume that was the story. With such weak characterisation and no dialogue worthy of the name I had trouble staying awake through the whole thing. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
