Dragon Age II launched yesterday to the belated excitement of at least this writer. For a title in the old backlog, the original took priority over the others about a month ago in preparation for DA2.
Well, I’m far enough in Origins now to be getting stoked for the inevitable polish that will come with a DA2. But it’s the following piece of news from our friends at VGChartz that’s admittedly getting me more excited.
GF365: "If you’re a reader, this list of great games for avid readers is for you. Games are a form of art, and some have written literature in them."
Here are some great action role-playing video games to play while waiting for the highly anticipated Dragon’s Dogma 2.
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.
You can play a long rpg and have a life you stupid git
I guess classic Russian Literature (Tolstoy and Dostoevsky) are out the the question for him. If he can't finish it quickly enough it must not be good.
I wonder if the concept of DLC is a mystery to him? Why add content to a game when it will only take longer to play through it? What a bother!
Maybe he is the kind of guy that pays for power-leveling services in MMOs so he doesn't have to play his character?
@imvix
you mean introduced by the ever expanding popularity of gaming?
its just happens to be consoles that are becoming increasingly popular
