[QUOTE="jethrovegas"]

Overall it's just a damn shame that Rockstar, even after all these years, remain the best storytellers in gaming.

I guess the joke is on me for comparingRockstar with a crappy studio that releases filler-stuffed, boring games which they cut up into a bunch of crappy, overpriced DLC, imagining all the while that they are masters of storytelling, when in fact they've just been telling the same poorly written story over and over again for more than a decade.

Silly, right?Vari3ty

Fixed. It's the other way around.

Rockstar is one of the few companies to put out lengthy, quality DLC that is well worth the asking price. While I love both studios, it is definitely a much more accurate statement to say Bioware games are "cut up into a bunch of overpriced DLC".

"You make a statement and you get a response, how boring. In BioWare games you get to choose from three, hell, maybe four options, and then get the same response." Ha, it's funny, 'cause it's true. I freaking hate those conversations so much.

I agree with you somewhat, but saying LA Noire doesn't have good writing is absurd.

The moment I saw poor writing, I knew this was a troll thread. :lol:

Of course when I saw Rockstar's storytelling isn't as good as ______, I automatically knew this was troll thread to begin with.

I rather play La Noire than any RPG ever made. Then again, I would rather shake Bobby Koticks Hand than play than a RPG, so that's not saying much is it? I still want to play La Noire though.

You Bioware Fanboys are pathetic you come out of your lairs of virginity everytime a new story based game or rpg is released and flood forums and blogs with biased negative reviews driven by seething hatred and blind sycophancy. I've got news for you LA Noire is an amazing game and the Witcher 2 is one of the best rpg's to come out in a decade and I can say that as someone who enjoys Bioware games. So crawl back in your lairs and continue dreaming about whatp u s s yfeels like and taking that frustation out on anything that is not Bioware.

You make some very good points. I'll carefully consider them.

DOWN

EVERYTHING.

I just want to point out, there isn't a lot of shooting, its more of a third person detective game where there is some shooting, chasing, driving involved, with lots of interrogation. The writing is excellant for what they are trying to achieve and trying to pick out when someone is lieing is actually a really cool feature in a video game.

Yeah L.A Noire is more a true Action Adventure were both elements are around the same level. Not like most stuff nowadays that are just Action games disguised as Action Adventures.

How about you actually read his post? Then read it again just to be safe. Then look up "sarcasm" in a dictionary and read the post yet again. Then have a look at your answer and think about what you've done wrong.

You make a statement and you get a response, how boring. In BioWare games you get to choose from three, hell, maybe four options, and then get the same response.

I prefer the stories in Bioware games more, but that's all I can agree with. Also, Bioware sex scenes are almost always a fail.

[QUOTE="savagetwinkie"]wait because there is no sex, its bad story telling? Unrelated... because you don't assemble a team its bad story telling? Still unrelated.... Bad writing because its linear? I hate to tell you this but the goal wasn't about getting lots of branching dialogue... Sounds like you would have been happy if you assembled a team like a swat team or something, ran into a building shooting everyone up, then when you found a hostage are able to talk about random things with her so you could wooo her, see her bra during a sex scene. That must be good writing there!

It's a joke.

Why are threads like these allowed in system wars? It upsets me. The best story ever told in a video game has to be that of Decap Attack.

I agree, this thread depresses the hell out of me as well. I'd rather Jethrovegas wasted his time and patience doing a graphics thread instead--at least that wouldn't be a complete waste of my time.

stop telling what i can like!

i enjoy rock* games and bioware games.

so calm down, stop writing essays about why a game isnt as good as another and just take it for what it is.

all games can improve, no game is perfect. not even the mass effect games.......

Yeah, what would you call him?

I mean, clearly he can't compete with characters like Zevran; just look at his face, into his eyes.

And what makes Zevran emo?

This thread is creative and awesome. Unlike most of thread I have to read the post rathe than the headline. BUT seriously COD games beat both of them easily in story telling. Valve, R*, Bioage should learn from them.
