/lit/ - Literature

[Anonymous No.22738531]

With video games such as Nier: Automata and Elden Ring, is it, perchance, time to admit that video games have surpassed literature as a storytelling medium?

[Anonymous No.22738552]

>>22738531
Those games aren't good

[Anonymous No.22738557]

>>22738552
Elden Ring was fun.
>>22738531
No, go back.

Video games haven't even reached a quarter of the medium's potential, so its too early to say weather or not it will surpass literature. As of right now, it's not even close. Also, Nier: Automata and elden ring aren't even in top ten stories told through video games.

We should do a chart of /lit/ approved games. The hard part would be sorting through shit that people recommended just because they happen to like it. Anyway, here are some games that I think /lit/ would enjoy:
>Pathologic 1/2 (you can skip 1 if you want)
>The Void
>Disco Elysium
>Yeo's existential trilogy (Ringo Ishikawa/Arrest of a Stone Buddha/Fading Afternoon)
>A Hand With Many Fingers
>The Painscreek Killings
>The Music Machine
>Scavenger SV-4
Some are better than others but they all gave me the feeling of "playing" a book.

I like some of the ideas, but I don't remember the last game I finished.

[Anonymous No.22738641]

I used to skip cutscenes and dialogue when I still played games.

You’re giving cats a bad name by the malignant shitposting you’ve been doing lately. I will never post in any further threads with a smug cat again so that the thread may die that much sooner. Have a nice life

Video games are better than a lot of "literature" like the Bible and Dostoevsky.

I know Elden Cockring is some generic Nibelung/LOTR derived story. What’s Nier about?

B8 used to be good

[Anonymous No.22739063]

Surpassed in terms of what? Ontological priority? No because Nintendo's founding document is not a video game.

>What’s Nier about?
Cyborg ass and random oblique references to pseuds like Sartre.

I was serious. A randomly selected JRPG has a more enriching story than the Bible, Koran, or Old Testament.

>Storytelling is the social and cultural activity of sharing stories, sometimes with improvisation, theatrics or embellishment. Every culture has its own stories or narratives, which are shared as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation or instilling moral values.

Amount of responsibility OP takes for pressing B:

[Anonymous No.22739076]

>>22739066
Disagree. I’ve played some of the major ones and they all sucked storywise. They’re very generic. So now I know this is actual B8

[Anonymous No.22739118]

>>22739113
I'm not a consoomer. I actually have one short weird fiction story published in a literary journal. I also had a fully illustrated picture book that was rejected by agents because it didn't include inclusive diversity and LGBTQ+ themes.

Not OP, but this thread is better than the Christcuck ones. A random JRPG has a more enriching story than the entirety of Christcuck literary corpus. The Christcuck flood on this forum is much more annoying than based cat poster.

[Anonymous No.22739156]

>>22739137
You are clearly OP because there is nothing 'based' about this thread.
And yes, christcucks should go to /his/ where they belong.
It would be nice if /lit/ had some threads about, gee, actual literature??

[Anonymous No.22739273]

>>22739260
Why? All I have done thus far is state facts such as how there is no literary merit in the entirety of Abrahamic corpus. I can list JRPGs with deeper visionary quality than the Bible and Koran off the top of my head.

Storytelling in videogames always sucks. The low/high brow position on the matter is that Gameplay is their most interesting feature and what sets them apart from other art forms

Nah.
