The Gameluv.com show is back this week with another nonsensical podcast. Shawn from Gameluv.com states:
"Nevermind Halo: Reach, Plants vs Zombies, the finale of Nier, and Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep! Dana has brought to our attention the first shots of all the new mons in Pokemon Black and White and they. are. nuts! And with this handy link you can play along at home when we start going “look at #635! No, no, now look at #384!” Fortunately, we don’t devolve into that mess for a while and we talk about all this stuff first:
Crafting Mama contest
Plants vs. Zombies
My Kingdom for the Princess II
Halo: Reach
Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep
Nier
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
And then it’s onto news from the Tokyo Game Show and the aforementioned POKE-WUT insanity!"
The Nerd Stash: "Everyone loves setting up killzones and laying waste to waves of enemies, so here are our picks for the best tower defense games ever."
GF365: "Oftentimes, video games have characters who are antagonistic and really not very pleasant. Here are some of the friendliest characters in games where you might not otherwise expect to find them."
Talented writers can build worlds that are as wondrous as real-life. Here are the best lore-rich video games for you to get immersed in.
How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.
Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.
I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy
Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.
Crows90,
I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.
narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games
The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.
Probably one of my favorite Gameluv podcasts so far.
All the interesting games and TGS love - sounds like a nicely rounded podcast!
