>>1044223 >>1044188 I think it also helps that Sam actually shows up throughout the game instead of spending all his screentime being a silent plot device.

>>1044231 What would Sam's Rival be in this hypothetical game? Obviously excluding Raiden.

>>1044234 >instead of spending all his screentime being a silent plot device. Only in the mod. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=s9A7kxarfGU

>>1042148 >Stop speaking niggerbabble and use a Hard R next time. >Nigger Potato, potahto. >>1043875 Don't forget /a/.

>>1042078 Anon, all of the writing in that game was mediocre and the only reason anyone would say otherwise is for nostalgia reasons and the fact it was made by 4chan

>>1044616 And? You could say the same about Snoot Game and people seemed to like that besides Anons.

>>1044622 And they should have refined their writing style and not disparage the very group of people they were targeting

>>1044625 >disparage the very group of people they were targeting Say what?

>>1044625 >disparage the very group of people they were targeting Anon what the fuck are you talking about?

>>1044252 The gangs in Brazil. His DLC already mentions what he was doing before he went after World Marshall. Just make some exaggerated hue that gets to be his rival.

>>1046071 >>1046079 Are you stupid? Let's just pretend that this character didn't exist and that the writers weren't openly mocking him, even though he spoke the truth

>>1046594 >the writers were openly mocking him No they weren't. If you felt disparaged and insecure because they use him as a comedic side relief (and the biggest bro to our protagonist), write atleast 200 word post explaining why he did and why you feel that.

>>1046611 I aint doing that lol. The game says that the entire reason why he became the way he is because he had sex with a woman once and got tired, kek. That's the entrire reason of why he's staunchly anti feminist. The main character even scoffed at his remarks and the only time he doesn't is when he gets drunk on a roof with him which leads to his death. Even more damning is that even in your own words he's a joke character

>>1046661 >>1046594 >when you're so much of an autistic sperg that the only character you relate to is an autistic sperg who murders you if you befriend him Unironically kill yourself

>>1046662 >murders you This has to be bait right?

>>1046667 >"If I were going to kill someone, I'd do it by throwing them off a roof and making it look like an accident" <it was totally just an accident that you happen to die in that fashion Imagine being this naive. I could probably point a gun at you, shoot you in the face, and right up until the bullet enters your tiny brain you would probably believe I was doing you a favor if I said something "based" beforehand like "This is for the future of the white race." or something.

>>1046662 That was the whole point moron. The writers were mocking us. If you like this trash game, you are trash

>>1046594 That character is proof the game was woke

>>1046669 >us >all imageboard anons are /r9k/ fags Wew

>>1046742 >trust women lmao

I find it funny that a character being openly mocked for his feminist conspiracy theories and people actually defend this shit in current year when we have all seen what feminists have done to the video game industry in a negative way

>>1046742 A lot of imageboard users are /r9k/ fags, robots aren't rare.

>>1046668 That was basically the whole point. They painted anyone anti feminist as overly paranoid conspiracy theorists who'd even stab men in the back because of those conspiracy theories. It wouldn't even surprise me of the writers of this vn sucked moots cock

>>1046873 >They painted anyone anti feminist as overly paranoid conspiracy theorists who'd even stab men in the back because of those conspiracy theories. Anti feminists have good arguments, and feminists have bad arguments. Anti feminists who argue lose, so they rely on manufacturing assent while painting anyone anti feminist as overly paranoid conspiracy schizos. Who was the fat fed woman who did this to /pol/ again?

>>1042051 > I would've much rather if he was a silent protagonist. Nah, it would've just been awkward. >Making Brecken the MC Now we're talking. Rahim wasn't MC material, though him being a constant companion rather than fading into irrelevance early on would've been a good move. Agree with the spoiler 100% by the way. I hate his sister by the way, she was so annoying.

>>1042044 Had no idea who this fucker was when playing the Legendary Trilogy, kinda late to introduce a "rival" in the third installment, felt too much like Gary Stu OC that someone with too much authority shoved in. Save the character by introducing him in ME2, fuck it, if possible at least give him a mention in ME1

>>1046594 >>1046661 >>1046669 Aside from him being a comic relief character. Every time Kenji ends up talking directly to any of the girls, he is completely lucid, and generally quite friendly to the girls, not to mention his previous relationship with Yuuko The fact that he's a conspiracy theorist in private and normal and social in public, really just makes him seem like a normal /pol/ack. Something that the devs treat as humorous, but also have a certain amount of endearment towards at the same time. So it doesn't really feel like he was intended as a simpleminded satire. Plus the fact that he's basically right half the time doesn't help

I want to say the protagonist in Fallout 4 Having a voiced MC was a terrible idea yet the writing also did not help If the protagonist was silent would the game overall have been better, this of course would mean more terrible writing which is likely why they went with a voiced MC. Honestly don't know how one would polish the turd.

This is sort of a general complaint with no real solution provided so sorry in advance but I continue to remain impressed at how utterly fucking atrocious PGI is at writing. The fact that their writing is the bottom of the barrel in a franchise with over a hundred shitty novels is just baffling, especially considering that they don't have to do fuck all themselves. They didn't need to make the setting of Battletech, they didn't need to make the map map, they didn't need to write the history of the setting, they didn't have to make up any factions or faction leaders or notable side characters or current events, etc. It's all just there waiting for Generic McProtagonist to observe and interact with in a noncommittal way thanks to the thousands and thousands of pages of writing and world-class wiki that already existed before MW5 was even a glint in their eye. Nobody was expecting anything better than "barely tolerable" from them but when one of the most frequent criticisms of the game is "this game would be better if the main plot didn't exist" with a postscript of "also for the love of christ please just let me mute the characters and skip dialogue" then you have a pretty remarkable fucky wucky on your hands. As for the solution, I have no idea besides the extremely vague and unhelpful suggestion that they hire actual writers instead of whatever the fuck they're currently doing.

>>1046912 Fallout 4 was boring as shit but I liked the snarky dialogue it sometimes allowed you to have even if it meant like nothing. *8I only liked FO4 'cos the female robots, otherwise I got bored far too quickly. And I played it modded out like mad**

>>1046909 He literally shoved the mc off a roof, obviously he wasn't made to be a comic relief, more of a mockery than anything else

>>1046957 Why would they mock a group to whom they themselves belonged if they wanted to mock Anons?

>>1046958 You're anonymous dude, it means nothing. Just look at the joke that is leftypol

>>1046894 >Save the character by introducing him in ME2, fuck it, if possible at least give him a mention in ME1 It's rather interesting how common this opinion is, even here.

>>1042044 >pic related Just give him a mask and make him never talk, ever. It solves all of his problems and makes him at least not obnoxious.

>>1051244 That's what a modder did. Still feels like wasted potential.
