>>187021575

Typically, western games will have a simple, streamlined plot. They'll have defined themes, and will be fairly easy to summarise. Not amazing, but certainly serviceable.
Most JRPG plots, on the other hand, employ the "throw lots of shit and see what sticks" approach, becoming 2deep4u meaningless garbage. Kind of irredeemable.

Even ME 2 had better plot than ME3. Reapers putting organics into reapers for self-preservation is much better than "saving them from machines", because it's actually something reasonable aliens would do.

I prefer to talk about plotholes or stupid plotpoints over bad overall plots. Sometimes a game can have a really interesting plot going on, cool characters, but then there's this one (maybe more) plothole, twist or whatever that just punches you in the face and you can't look away.

It's fine when the stories work as standalones and that other games just complement each other.
But when each game purposely leaves plot holes to be answered in another game, then of course you can't complain about the story without fully seeing it.
Though criticizing other aspects of the game would be legit.

By the way, I haven't even played a Kingdom Hearts, so sorry if it falls in the first category.

I know /v/ is dumb as fuck - and aways has been - particulary when it comes to anything regarding narrative, story or anything that requires some degree of aquired taste, like music or art direction.

But when somebody asks for worst plot and literally 70% of the posts is "let's pick up this game that is popular for story and say it's shit for giggles" you know there is something seriously wrong going on in here.
And rest is "point out a plot hole in a game that I don't like".
Mass Effect 2, Bioshock Infinite or FF8 are not good stories. But don't try to convince me that you did not come across worse plots.

Difference is games like CoD and Crysis aren't story driven. They're games about shooting dudes primarily and the story is just in the background giving some flimsy context.

FF8 has got to be the absolute worst to me.

A sorceress that is possessed by another sorceress that wanted to destroy the world with no real reason given.
Also, monsters apparently come from the moon and they jump off to your planet.
Not only was the plot bad, but it had the worst main romance I've ever seen. They did a total ass-pull by giving the entire party amnesia when they all came from the same orphanage EXCEPT one person who didn't even say anything about it until they all discovered they did indeed have amnesia. I seriously couldn't believe what I was reading while playing this game.

I don't see how that game could possibly be worse than that.

The Mass Effect Trilogy

Every game is a standalone story and the sequels completely ignore what happened before even if its events that should strongly influence the universe/war.

Also the ending was one of the biggest asspulls i have ever seen. Completely out of place especially when there are events in the story that completely disprove the premise.

You know, I thought the word "Biodrone" was a little unfair. Then I looked at the Bioware forums.

How can people be so fucking dense?

Definitely DmC. While DMC was never a bastion of good storytelling, the characters were mostly tolerable and there were plenty of entertaining parts. There were even some emotional moments.

DmC's story is just abysmal from beginning to end. It's pure wish fulfillment by Tameem, you play a Gary Stu who destroys Cola Cola, Fox News, and the big banks. As story independent of DMC it's complete trash. I really can't think of any other video game with a shittier plot.

Kid Icarus Uprising but more because it was convoluted. They couldn't keep to one plot-line and kept bringing in new ones to stack onto it that interrupts the other plot-line.

Sudden alien invasion is where I drew the fucking line.

The worst thing about the whole "we grew up together but then we forgot" plot twist is not only was it completely stupid, but it had no actual relevance to the plot in any way. Removing it entirely would change nothing about the plot.

I would have been fine with FFVIII's retarded plot if the characters were decent, but they were all shit. Even Quistis becomes a retard pretty quickly.

Oh but it has a cantankerous tumblr hosbando in it so that's why everyone likes it.
>>
>>187024538
Seriously, they all range from boring (Swall, Quistis) to completely fucking annoying (Zell, Selphie).

The only half-way decent character is Laguna, which is even worse because every time you get to play as him you're reminded that the actual main characters aren't as interesting at this guy.

I just finished DmC (like, 2 hours ago) and I have to say that while it is quite bad, it is also simple and seemed relatively consistent to me.
Characters don't act contrary to their nature a lot (only Donte switches from "bad boy" to "messiah"), no obvious plot holes, doesn't create (meta)physical rules just to violate them.

There's not much good in it, but it doesn't suck.
Bioshock: Infinite had some good stuff, but a fuckton of shit on top. Only a person who hates Tameem for ruining the series can say DmC has worse plot than B:I.

Mass Effect was good.

>>
>>187024538
FF13 is the FF8 of its time only worse because not only is it shit characters and story but it's the only thing the game relies on. At least with FF8, you could explore and find new shit to do and could at least control all of the characters.

That's because it is a blatant copy+paste from the hundreds of 2edgy4u stories that came before it.
>>
>>187024538
That too. Not only was the party a bunch of idiots, but they didn't seem to have anything that really stood out especially compared to other FF characters. Zell and Selphie were obnoxious, shooty mcgee felt worthless the whole game after the assassination attempt and I don't even remember much about Quistis except she wanted Squall's dick. It's strange when the most interesting person out of your group is the MC who doesn't give a shit about anything until half the game is over.

I can twist shit around to make any game or any story seem retarded no matter how great you found. There is not a single game story that can't be torn into pieces and called fucking terrible

ME2 could probably get omitted from the story and it wouldn't be even that much of a difference. I know it was focused more on the squadmates, but besides Garrus, Tali, Mordin and Grunt I didn't even care about anyone.

Especially Thane, god damn who came up with him?

I wouldn't call ME3 entirely bad, but shit like that kid and forced feels and Kai Leng and that ending do put a sour note on it.

nah, they began the process of writing themselves into a corner way back in me1. in me2 they clearly wished the whole reaper nonsense was never invented in the first place, and in me3 they begrudgingly admit they have no idea what to do and just shit out whatever.

mass effect would be so much better as a whole if it was just a smaller scale story, without the "epic struggle against the impending apocalypse" nonsense.

leave it to bioware to reduce everything they touch to "find ancient artifacts to destroy the ancient evil". i just want to explore SPACE.

I actually didn't mind the idea of a weapon designed by successive civilisations, BioWare just fucked up the execution. It should have been at least hinted at in previous games (especially ME2) and it didn't have to be such a massive stinking McGuffin.

Final Fantasy XIII-2. Even as a big fan of the series I couldn't take it, every cutscene was either dumb as fuck or a complete snoozefest and when I finally saw the ending I couldn't believe what I was seeing/hearing and I had to leave the room in utter disgust. It was one of the few times I skipped the credits. "If you change the future, you change the past" that is a line in the game and a major plot point, just let that sink in for a moment.
