So time line wise when does this take place? Before or after SFIII? Because I thought SF IV took place before SFIII

I’m not going to attack people who watch other people play, but I honestly don’t understand the whole twitch phenomenon at all. I can see if you don’t have a game and want to see if you might want to buy it, or you’re really into an online personality and want to watch them play, but as a gamer, I much prefer to play…

I feel for your brother. Even if you never see their face, you just *know* that something isn’t right. It has to be perfect.

They didn’t stretch Limbo into 5 games.

I’ve seen what you had to do to bring out the REEEEEAAAAL story. You have to click a non-descript tile like 47 times and then honk a nose or something and then you find out what’s REALLY going on here.

Spoilers: There is no story. Dark Souls effect. Leave pieces of a half-thought-out narrative then scatter clues and nods to possible plotlines while never actually making any sense.

The grain of salt, here, being that freakishly long-lived is only about a year; still, the continued interest across 4 games probably has less to do with time-line or objectively good story telling as it does with it being something fresh. That and a creator who actively interacts with his community.

If all of your players can’t figure out the story at all after 4 installments, you shouldn’t be disappointed in them, you should be disappointed in yourself for writing a story that no one could figure out.

No fucking kidding. If dedicated fans are having trouble understanding your narrative, I would give some serious consideration to a rewrite.

“What do you mean my story is poorly constructed and vauge? You all just haven’t figured it out yet!” - Every hack writer ever.

I figured it out a while ago. It’s the story of a guy who inexplicably struck gold with a very simple game and has been milking the hell out of it by releasing a ton of sequels in the span of a year. The twist at the end is that Hollywood is so starved for ideas that they also gave him a movie deal.

That’s my thoughts, too. If your audience can’t piece together the narrative, have you effectively communicated it? While the content of the narrative might be fantastic, it doesn’t really matter if it’s not put out to the audience in a way they can access it.

Probably because it’s so well written *rolleyes*

No criticism towards the game itself, but no one figuring out the story doesn’t seem like something to brag about...

I will never understand why some things become freakishly long-lived and popular.

Wait. So this is a prequel to Borderlands, right?

That’s what I was thinking of. Looks like a very plastic statue fluffed up to show off before it goes on sale.

Looks like it starts at the first pixel and doesn’t end until the last :<

With all the photoshop it looks like a new expensive figure/statue.

Sooo where does the photoshop begin and end?
