With NPCs aplenty slurping up Red Dead Redemption, what's your favorite story in the genre?

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 29 18:43:04 2018 No.12006196 Blood Meridian is the favorite.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 29 18:45:22 2018 No.12006206 >>12005783 rdr2 actually reference it. I'm surprised they even read the damn book because the story rockstar wrote is nowhere near as good

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 29 18:52:46 2018 No.12006233 >>12006206 Are there ANY videogames with stories comparable to real literature?

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 29 18:54:16 2018 No.12006239 >>12006233 ask the cRPG people.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 29 19:04:44 2018 No.12006287 >>12006233 no unless you count like PKD or BEE as literature

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 29 19:16:50 2018 No.12006349 >>12006196 Have you read Louis L'Amour?

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 29 19:18:40 2018 No.12006360 >>12006233 When it comes to coherent narrative in video games, they usually ruin it by throwing in some big, unnecessary creature for the player to fight at the end. That's what I experienced with Bioshock, anyways.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 29 20:50:55 2018 No.12006831 >>12006708 >>12006708 Agreed, however, when done right, such as Blood Meridian, they can be just as valid as any other genre of fiction

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 29 20:52:12 2018 No.12006836 >>12006493 I'm in office hours, and just wheezed like a sea lion. Godspeed, anon.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 29 21:16:57 2018 No.12006942 >>12006233 I could cite some that compare to fantasy or scifi literature, but an indie game called Beeswing is the only one I can think that compares to classic literature. I would throw Mother 3 too, though I won't blame people who disagree with me.
