Sorry, was there a plot there somewhere?

[Plurralbles]

I jsut could NOT understand the story of Tetris... I mean... the blocks... WHAT DO THEY MEAN!?

 

[NickCaligo42]

Yeah but it's batshit crazy before that part in the game. For example there is the train where they have the flashbacks into other people's lives and then try to kidnap the president by copping his train and swapping it while they are moving(like no one would notice the other train) only to find out the president has a secret zombie body double.

Or the giant TVs that haven't had a signal for but they are still turned on and displaying nothing.

Or the spider mech that is radio controlled when they clearly state they can't send any radio transmissions.

Or randomly sending the newest SeeD members (and sniper who has never taken a shot) who don't live anywhere near were the speech is taking place to assassinate the evil chick(who is openly psycho and kills the president during the speech and everyone cheers - que the dancers).

Fanboys are just trying to pretend it`s deep.

lol, like I said, making itself up as it goes along. The most hilarious part is the space program that's apparently been around for a long time but nobody bothers to mention it until late in the game.

How about Robin Williams giving the new graduates a lamp with THE DEVIL in it for no discernible reason?

You're in my spot.

 

[Darth_Dude]

Bioshock and Dead Space...

Nice work troll. No seriously, that was just in the right spot and the right thread. YOU are going to get alot of spam for this.

Already there.
And saying what you think isn't trolling.

Yes, but he put it out there as bait. COme on, you know all the Bioshock and Dead space lovers on the escapist.

If they love it then why should they care what I think?

I honestly don't know what to say to that...

I mean, what the fuck man?! What are up with those ghosts? That the Yellow lemon pie wants to eat those yellow dots, I can understand (who wouldn't). But what the fuck is up with those ghosts? Who were they before they died, and why do they hate that pie guy so much? Did he murder their wives, were they just hungry?

The mystery and the plot is just so confusing.

 

[Acton Hank]

Just Cause 2. Apparently, you're supposed to stop some guy named Baby from doing bad stuff to people you will never meet. Honestly, I see it as an excuse to blow shit up.

That's because it is.

If people love it; FINE.
Doesn't mean I have to.

 

[MrShowerHead]

I remember someone saying, that Operation Flashpoint's single player is "story driven"

Let's see...
Cold War Crisis: Russians have attacked this country. Lets go stop them!
Resistance: Hmm, Russians are attacking my home country. And I'm happen to be a veteran soldier. But I don't wanna fight anym.....Lets go kill them.
Red Hammer: Lets attack this country!

I still love the game

 

[Acton Hank]

Honorable mention goes to Bayonetta.

Seriously, what the fuck was that?!

 

[Sixcess]

Final Fantasy 9

I gave up on that game on the final disc when I realised I had no idea what I was trying to achieve or who the bad guy was.

 

[Admiral Stukov]

Modern Warfare 2.
I've played the campaign twice, and I'm still like "wat!?"

 

[Geekosaurus]

Smokin' Aces 2: Assassin's Ball. Which is surprising, because the plot to the original Smokin' Aces was extremely good.

 

[emissary666]

I know that Pathologic has a plot, I know that if I could speak Russian it would be awesome, but when your dealing with a horribly translated game with a copy that's glitched so you cannot get letters, you begin to get really, really confused.

 

[Cpu46]

The plot in Modern Warfare 2 made no sense. It was basically just a way of shuttling you between kick ass action sequences.

The plot was probably written so, that anything that sounded cool had to be put into the game. And if it was in MW, it had to be done bigger or more.

Random snowmobile chase? Check
Firing a minigun in a helicopter? Check.
Firing nukes? Check.
Lots of funny accents? Check.
Getting shot in the face by a friend with no apparent reason? Double check.

Try to fit that into a sensible plot.

I remember hearing that the writers had a list of set-pieces that HAD to be in the story and were told to make a story around that. Then halfway through writing it even more stuff was added to the list.

 

[Grygor]

a) Where does it say it's radio controlled? It could very well be another form of transmission, also the spider appears after they turn radio signals on.

As is explained early on in the game, wireless transmission is impossible because of mysterious interference that started 17 years ago, so that in the time the game is set, all communication is done via "HD cables".

e) The tv was turned off before the broadcast, which receives the signal from the communication tower from dollet, that was agreed to stay turned on as an agreement with Dollet for cease-fire.

All of which is irrelevant, because wireless transmission is still impossible because the global interference which is coming from an object in space doesn't get disabled until disc 3, significantly after that TV screen has ceased to be relevant to the storyline.

BAM! Plot Hole!

 

[Nieroshai]

Basically there were humans and I needed to Destroy them.

Clue is in the title dude.

Quest 64 has almost no plot.

The story was an excuse to try a new RPG technique. The one with concentric circles and functionally different attacks. Which i thought was a bloody bad ass combat system. I wish it had become more popular. Its a sort of a blend between FF tactics and FF 12. It definitely flopped though.

I know, But I can't recall having a reason to destroy all humans (Well, There may have been, but I haven't played it in a long time).

VERY easy. It's a B-movie parody where you're the alien invader and you need some human brains. For SCIENCE!

And why is theree randomly teleporting fruit?! And why can't I win?

Can't you tell it's a social commentary on Russia's space program? It's so obvious that you're using the blocks from the crumbling Soviet society to build a space ship to lead the motherland to glory, but Capitalism keeps speeding up the blocks.

 

[Ashcrexl]

every single GTA game (and red dead redemption) loses me when they start introducing more than 10 characters into the plot. the only thing i got from GTAIV is niko hunts down and is hunted by criminals while roman does stupid things. (not really, but that is my general impression)

as for developers INTENTIONALLY trying to make an incomprehensible plot, killer 7 wins hands down. the russian roulette scene is a prime example.
