Why Video Games Can Be the Greatest Storytelling Mechanism of All

UM writes: I just finished with the first two of five chapters of Telltale’s The Walking Dead video game. I’d heard good things both from critics and friends (our own Dave Bast, for one), and I thought it might be worthwhile.

Turns out, everyone was right.

I love Heavy Rain, I only know three other people that own the game but each of us has had different outcomes and experiences in the game.

The storytelling mechanism in that game is impressive with all the different outcomes with each scenario , it’s surprising how a small choice and change the game completely for each player .

I love games like that where you can make choices and feel responsible for your actions. Story telling in games has improved a lot I agree. Mass Effect although a dissapointing end to a great franchise was great but didn't have as good as an effect on me as Heavy Rain and the walking Dead the game when making choices.

Speaking of The Walking Dead game it has been really good sofar I've actually replayed it over as much as I could to see the reacations from people when I made diffrent choices and some of them really shocked me from the ou tcome. Episode 2 of the walking dead game was really a huge shock to me at the end, I had suspected what they were up too but I didn't think thats what they were actually doing. I think the game really complements the show in a way you really get a feel for the hard choices they make, and the effects it can have on people not only as an individual but as a group.

Sofar I love games that push the story telling envelope, Even thought you dont make choices per say Uncharted deserves a mention in this topic.

If you dont have The Walking Dead Game yet get it, Buy the Season Pass, its worth it and really well done, telltale really did a good job, and this article was a good read.

****By the way this article has spoilers so don't click if you plan on buying The Walking Dead game.****

L.A. Noire And Bully — Rockstar's Lost Gems That Deserve A Sequel As Much As GTA

Hanzala from eXputer: "I do appreciate GTA 6, Rockstar, but if I could trade it for a new L.A. Noire or a Bully game, I'd do so in a heartbeat."

Skuletor37d ago

How are they lost? You can get L.A. Noire on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch and Bully is on the PS5 and Xbox Series too.

Psychonaut8537d ago

I want a new Manhunt game. But that will never happen.

Demetrius36d ago

Mfs are too sensitive nowadays and would cry instead of being concerned bout real world problems

Demetrius36d ago

Whenever gta 6 launch we won't be getting another rockstar title for another 10 years lol but on the positive side they bou to come back n show how open world supposed to be done 🔥

Skuletor36d ago

I won't expect any singleplayer DLC like IV's The Lost & Damned or The Ballad of Gay Tony after it launches either

One I never finished. I've been looking at the ps4 version off Amazon the last few months just never bit

Knightofelemia141d ago

It's worth playing LA Noire is one of my favorite Rockstar games. But I would also check out pawnshops or thrift stores if you want the game dirt cheap. Someone may have been dumb enough to dump the game.

andy85141d ago

Baffles me when people have these opinions about acclaimed games 😂

RhinoGamer88142d ago

100% agree... not perfect, but an engaging/refreshing experience.

sagapo142d ago

Agree, at time of release those facial expressions were amazing! They still hold strong even today imo.
The game on its own was good. Something fresh, but sidequests were a bit meh after a while.

Nacho_Z142d ago

I picked it up on sale recently, going to play it next summer. I'll get more out of it this time, first time around I treated the open world like it was GTA and goofed about, whereas now I'll play it with more respect. RDR2 has trained me well.

I also hadn't read Raymond Chandler at the time so presumably that'll add another layer of enjoyment too.

1nsomniac142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

Absolutely stunning game. So underrated. Played through it again last year and it still stands up so well. Like many of rockstars games it’s actually a far better experience on PC. I didn’t enjoy it as much on console. Completed it at least 3 times on pc.

The rumours of a sequel are awesome news despite the fact I think Rockstar are now the shell of the company they once were.

SyntheticForm142d ago

Team Bondi made a hell of a game.
