@dcsroc1 It was a good game, but one of the best? It wasn't even one of the best in the gta series, nor was it vastly different in style to GTA III. In fact I'm pretty sure it used the same engine. The story was O.K, nothing amazing though, unless you've never seen a 1980's mafia themed film. Nothing new really came out of VC aside from helicopters and a broken plane you could keep in the air so long as you flew straight.
also people jump out of the way in gta and left 4 dead stole its entire story and feel from 28 days later, not the creators supposed research of spanish flu
he's totally wrong about stories. gta vice city was based on scarface so of course it was like scarface but its also filled to the brim with story, characterisation and humour. also the entire rpg genre exists to give rich in-depth stories and take alot of inspiration from books
Killzone 3 was written by real writers but it didn't make the story any better. It's going to take a real writer to make Killzone 4 work since it appears most of the bad guys are now dead.
@Nautilus1972 Firstly, no it didn't - it was like someone regurgitated the X-files conspiracy storyline over a bad John Travolta film, and secondly - I didn't even mention Metal Gear Solid.
Unless you were being humerous, in which case disreguard this bile and accept my humblest apologies
I skipped over the guy in the dark room with the black hair talking about writing in video games. He seemed to be under the impression that imaginative writing automatically meant good writing. Then he also happened to pass over games like Kotor, Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect and Bioshock.
I don't agree with Graham Linehan, he praises games like COD for having amazing story lines and doesn't mention games that really do have really good story lines Shenmue, Okami and most Zelda games.
Shenmue had one of the best storyline's seen in a video game (albeit some dodgy voice acting). Shame it hasn't been finished. Didn't make enough cash I guess.
@DrunkRussian2 They didn't even need to wait. I hate it when people accept story in videogames is bad without at least mentioning games with good story like Planescape: Torment or The Longest Journey. Instead we get Fiddy and Wolfenstein type of games.
I don't know about CoJBiB -- I thought the game made it pretty clear that the two playable brothers were *supposed* to be mentally unstable bastards brutalised by the war, and not generic Vaguely Heroic Shooter Protagonists like you usually get. I mean there's even the loading screen narration from the milquetoast third brother for anyone too slow to pick up on it during the game...
Writers haven't stopped reading books. Execs just stopped hiring writers who read books, because they won't write what the people who think they know what we want to watch want them to.
The last 25 years haven't even been about trying to make something that will make cash, they've been about trying to REMAKE something someone else already made that made cash. It's understandable and good capitalism, but it makes for shit TV, films and games.
Writer who read books mostly write books nowadays.
I was thinking about what Graham Linehan said about games and storytelling when I played 'Red Dead Redemption'. I thought that did really well in making you like a character, wanting him to succeed and making a really gripping storyline.
it's only a matter of time before games are widely accepted by everyone. they are already a bigger money maker than movies and party games/Wiis have introduced people of all ages to them. in 20-30 years, those of us who grew up with Nintendos and Segas will be in our 60s and there won't be this weird generation gap that doesn't get it.
The criticisms of vice city are fair, but GTAIV's story was outstanding and it features the best characters ever in a video game and a far more realistic and immersive setting etc. It's hilarious that he is praising left 4 dead's story when it was negligible and far more similar to a generic movie than GTA. The problem with GTA is how much depth it has, makes people scrutinise it a lot more. It's easy to make a perfect game if you're making a shallow one (zelda/ico/portal), not so much for gta.
I think he's using it as an example of how story lines were very simplistic (opening scene, then game) when gaming first started out. Everything else has gotten better (graphics, gameplay, etc.) but the storyline of basic opening scene and shooting has remained pretty much the same.
@Dextrophobia But storytelling has certainly gotten significantly better. That's not to say it's now brilliant or perfect, but it has definitely gotten better... (Though that's not saying much)
I was almost shocked when Graham Lineman said "I think a lot of game writers have stopped reading books and are only watching films", cause I was just thinking about that the other day! But I think it goes for songwriters and film writers too.
@WeNeedSomeGolfShoes Brilliant Gameplay and Brilliant Story go hand in hand to create a perfect game. If you only have Brilliant gameplay, then it will never be perfect, just brilliant (like Quake). Albeit, a game with a Brilliant Story and shit gameplay would be shit, so ofcourse Gameplay is key, but do not downplay Story. I prefer Dark Forces to Quake purely because it has a strong story (both games/series have brilliant gameplay) but because Dark Forces has a story, it is better.
Wait, so he dislikes video games because they represent people who don't read enough and whose research comes entirely from video games (like GTA), then goes on to state one of his favourite games is 'driver' because it reminds him of "classic cop movies" such as 'the french conection'? What a complete mother fucking hypocrite...
monkey island was the best game ive ever played........honestly its so funny and well written plus you can spend hours playing it without getting bored.
LOL if you take all of the cutaway screens and record them you can load up a game on an Amstrad, where you take on the role of Charlie Brooker's penis!
Wait, is this Graham Linehan guy a total idiot? Call of Duty as an example of a game where he empathised with the characters? Seriously. Some games have great storylines; Call of Duty is not one of them.
@cornishpastie9 i love that your one of the guys who clearly just hates it for the sake of hating it, the modern warfare games have very emotive and strong storylines..you clearly haven't even played them (i bet you're one of the rapists that enjoys playing the shite that is battlefield, cos they have great storylines, thats sarcasm btw you don't seem like the kind of person who would understand that). also most cornish pasties are disgusting. x
Angry much? I have played all of the CoD games. I enjoy them. But not for their storylines. I do enjoy Battlefield too; again, not for the storyline. So do tell, what's so great about the Call of Duty storylines? Because to me they seem about as good as propaganda films from the 50s.
Also, you call me a rapist for liking Battlefield? You have issues.
@cornishpastie9 lol well technically if you were to interview the majority of rapists you would understand my point. perhaps personal issues are something you indeed should be checking out, i suggest a therapist. and don't even pretend you were around in the 50's for their propaganda films or that you have even seen many of them, you are clearly just throwing any idea out to sound clever, it's obvious. i mean really, do you even understand the term propaganda? x
Interesting how you're trying to come across as so superior, and not directly addressing anything I say. Maybe I should do the same. I mean really, do you even understand the term 'technically'?
@cornishpastie9 i love how stuck up you are. i mean honestly, how upper class do you want to pretend to be? i understand the term technically, and i understand that you are frightened by what i write and how correct it all is. i love you. x
I was doing that as a parody of you. Pay attention, hypocrite. Yes, I know what a propaganda film looks like, I've had history lessons. No, I'm not just throwing out any old idea to sound clever; have you noticed in CoD that the bad guys are always Russian? And yes, I understand the term propaganda. Grow up, troll.
@cornishpastie9 i love how quickly you gave up on your previous comment and just couldn't bare to leave any of my comments unreplied, so you immediately went back and replied to it all with your 'intelligence and humour'. and always russian? always? always? that's so incredibly untrue its unbelievable. i'm assuming you didn't bother playing CoD:World at War, where the bad guys were german and japanese due to WW2? or did you skip that one? grow up! lovezzzzz bruv x
You found it humorous? Weird. Well, sorry for exaggerating. Shall I speak in purely literal terms from now on? And in World at War the Russian characters shot prisoners, or set them on fire. Whereas the American characters were all great and heroic, of course. Acting overly friendly towards strangers is hilarious! You have SUCH an original sense of humour!
@cornishpastie9 i'm not trying to be hilarious, i think you are too mentally impaired to find humour a logical route through life. and to be fair the russians were gods in world at war so you could just shut up and play it again. who cares if they shot people or set them on fire, its realistic! it happens. get over it. p.s you are clearly a racist bastard, i'm not american but really? how old are you? 10? and still, cornish pasties? cornwall...hmm inbred. x
What? Are you even reading what I type? When did I say you were trying to be hilarious? You're too busy coming up with snide remarks to even read. Yes, and it happened when the Americans did it too. Sorry, but how is it racist to question the idea that Americans are better people than everyone else? And since when is American a race? Ooh, good work, nice hypocrisy there. Insult me for insulting America then claim everyone in Cornwall is inbred. I'm not from Cornwall.
@cornishpastie9 you attempted to take the piss out of my 'sense of humour' which implies that i was trying to be funny, honestly how can you even hope to argue when you are thick as shit and cannot be any older then 16. and its still racism you stupid prick, if i say i hate the welsh because they all shag sheep then i am racist against the welsh, (obviously i dont believe that, its just an example) therefore they dont need to be a race, you are still being racist, you need to grow up. x
No, you acted like I was trying to be funny, I said I wasn't. Can't you follow a simple conversation? Honestly, how can you honestly be honest, honestly? Honest. Yeah, there are no clever sixteen-year-olds out there, I'm sure. That's not racism, it's xenophobia. And I don't hate the Americans. I just don't think they're better than everyone else. That's the opposite of racism.
@cornishpastie9 Could you be quiet please? You're making gilesey11 type words, and every word he types drives a knife deeper into my neck. It's obvious you're more intelligent, but not to him. He assumes that you assume he isn't faltered by anything you say because his comments state how much he loves you, it's common for people over the internet to pretend to be enjoying the argument in order to seem like a troll, he's not a troll, just someone with less brain cells than a cornish pastie.
@cornishpastie9 I enjoy arguments also, only over the internet and especially on YouTube, people on YouTube are generally less intelligent than your usual human being, the prime example being gilesey11. I feel like such an idiot for arguing with people like him but it makes me feel so superior when they're unable to but trying so hard to retaliate.
Seeing as we both like arguing maybe we should argue with each other? Hey, you're potentially homosexual, unattractive & I like CoD 4! Take that!
Yes well, you clearly have a mental illness of some sort because you are expressing opinions that contradict my own on the internet. Also something about Charlie Sheen.
@cornishpastie9 and honestly fucking hell, change your name, no-one can take you seriously, cornish pastie. lol you're a fucking troll. x (i wanna have sex with you. ) x
Trolls go out of their way to be as annoying as possible. I think what you put in the brackets there pretty much points to you being the troll in this case.
But the storyline was terrible. All of the characters were generic soldiers without personalities. The dialogue consisted of 'Take cover!' shouted a few times. No aspect of the storyline was good, even if the game was fun to play.
you know 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand is one of the only games on this show (except for the old shambolic ZX Spectrum crap) that was actually mad in the UK.... bloody hell
@255ad the other being GTA so apparently we brits like taking on the roles of unsympathetic arse holes then run around killing people for and steeling things for no reason well thats emotional repression for you
@tehsprite Lol. When he was talking about Vice City's bad story and games in general not being deep because they're not inspired by books, my brother said "play Final Fantasy you prick."
@tehsprite He did NOT praise L4D for its narrative. He praised it for its immersion and environments, which are done very well. While Vice City was the only GTA I missed, it probably has a shitty story. I haven't played a single Rockstar game with a good story (even Red Dead Redemption, my favorite game this year, or Max Payne, which has great immersion, too).
@samsafisher Probably the Rockstar game with the best storyline was Bully, which even then wasn't fantastic. Enjoyable game regardless, and the narrative was considerably stronger than GTA or RDR, even if the ending was a bit rubbish.
Grand theft auto does bother having people jump out the way, its just not every body has spider sence and can see a car coming at them from behind at 70mph.
The 50 Cent review is glorious. Not only is it honestly one of the funniest bits of telly ever, it's also absolutely epic the way that Brooker verbally rips that arsehole to pieces.
When he taunts him about enjoying being sodamized... OMG!! LMFAO!!
And trying to make him snag his balls on the edge of a table. XD
@97channel He went further. Type in "Brooker comment is free" into google, and in the list of articles you should see his entire article relating the Libya situation to 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand.
The guy at the beginning going on about how bad game's stories are clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. Play Dragon Age: Origins, then you'll know how amazing the stories and characters in games can be.
Basing your knowledge of stories in games on stuff like GTA is just plain unfair.
@mrjoecool What part of me pointing out a game with a good story was supposed to make me look intelligent anyway? How was that observation clearly me saying "oh look how smart I am for being able to name one of the many many games out there with a good story" and why did it warrant a response calling me dumb big headed?
calm down man, was just a throwaway comment, don't loose sleep over it. The way you came across was like one of those pretentious gamers you get who show off about knowing a whole bunch of games. Clearly you're not, but you do need to calm down. Also, i didn't call you an idiot.
And I have no desire to "look intimidating". I'm just commenting on youtube.
@mrjoecool You randomly attack me making comments about my intelligence and assuming I think I'm smart for no good reason other than to try and piss me off and when I point out all the different ways your comment is either dumb or needlessly hostile you tell me to "calm down bro"

Angry much? I have played all of the CoD games. I enjoy them. But not for their storylines. I do enjoy Battlefield too; again, not for the storyline. So do tell, what's so great about the Call of Duty storylines? Because to me they seem about as good as propaganda films from the 50s.
Also, you call me a rapist for liking Battlefield? You have issues.

@cornishpastie9 lol well technically if you were to interview the majority of rapists you would understand my point. perhaps personal issues are something you indeed should be checking out, i suggest a therapist. and don't even pretend you were around in the 50's for their propaganda films or that you have even seen many of them, you are clearly just throwing any idea out to sound clever, it's obvious. i mean really, do you even understand the term propaganda? x

Interesting how you're trying to come across as so superior, and not directly addressing anything I say. Maybe I should do the same. I mean really, do you even understand the term 'technically'?

@cornishpastie9 i love how stuck up you are. i mean honestly, how upper class do you want to pretend to be? i understand the term technically, and i understand that you are frightened by what i write and how correct it all is. i love you. x

@gilesey11
I was doing that as a parody of you. Pay attention, hypocrite. Yes, I know what a propaganda film looks like, I've had history lessons. No, I'm not just throwing out any old idea to sound clever; have you noticed in CoD that the bad guys are always Russian? And yes, I understand the term propaganda. Grow up, troll.
cornishpastie9 8 months ago
@cornishpastie9 i love how quickly you gave up on your previous comment and just couldn't bare to leave any of my comments unreplied, so you immediately went back and replied to it all with your 'intelligence and humour'. and always russian? always? always? that's so incredibly untrue its unbelievable. i'm assuming you didn't bother playing CoD:World at War, where the bad guys were german and japanese due to WW2? or did you skip that one? grow up! lovezzzzz bruv x

You found it humorous? Weird. Well, sorry for exaggerating. Shall I speak in purely literal terms from now on? And in World at War the Russian characters shot prisoners, or set them on fire. Whereas the American characters were all great and heroic, of course. Acting overly friendly towards strangers is hilarious! You have SUCH an original sense of humour!
cornishpastie9 8 months ago
@cornishpastie9 i'm not trying to be hilarious, i think you are too mentally impaired to find humour a logical route through life. and to be fair the russians were gods in world at war so you could just shut up and play it again. who cares if they shot people or set them on fire, its realistic! it happens. get over it. p.s you are clearly a racist bastard, i'm not american but really? how old are you? 10? and still, cornish pasties? cornwall...hmm inbred. x

What? Are you even reading what I type? When did I say you were trying to be hilarious? You're too busy coming up with snide remarks to even read. Yes, and it happened when the Americans did it too. Sorry, but how is it racist to question the idea that Americans are better people than everyone else? And since when is American a race? Ooh, good work, nice hypocrisy there. Insult me for insulting America then claim everyone in Cornwall is inbred. I'm not from Cornwall.

@cornishpastie9 you attempted to take the piss out of my 'sense of humour' which implies that i was trying to be funny, honestly how can you even hope to argue when you are thick as shit and cannot be any older then 16. and its still racism you stupid prick, if i say i hate the welsh because they all shag sheep then i am racist against the welsh, (obviously i dont believe that, its just an example) therefore they dont need to be a race, you are still being racist, you need to grow up. x

No, you acted like I was trying to be funny, I said I wasn't. Can't you follow a simple conversation? Honestly, how can you honestly be honest, honestly? Honest. Yeah, there are no clever sixteen-year-olds out there, I'm sure. That's not racism, it's xenophobia. And I don't hate the Americans. I just don't think they're better than everyone else. That's the opposite of racism.

@cornishpastie9 Could you be quiet please? You're making gilesey11 type words, and every word he types drives a knife deeper into my neck. It's obvious you're more intelligent, but not to him. He assumes that you assume he isn't faltered by anything you say because his comments state how much he loves you, it's common for people over the internet to pretend to be enjoying the argument in order to seem like a troll, he's not a troll, just someone with less brain cells than a cornish pastie.

@cornishpastie9 I enjoy arguments also, only over the internet and especially on YouTube, people on YouTube are generally less intelligent than your usual human being, the prime example being gilesey11. I feel like such an idiot for arguing with people like him but it makes me feel so superior when they're unable to but trying so hard to retaliate.
Seeing as we both like arguing maybe we should argue with each other? Hey, you're potentially homosexual, unattractive & I like CoD 4! Take that!

But the storyline was terrible. All of the characters were generic soldiers without personalities. The dialogue consisted of 'Take cover!' shouted a few times. No aspect of the storyline was good, even if the game was fun to play.

@tehsprite Lol. When he was talking about Vice City's bad story and games in general not being deep because they're not inspired by books, my brother said "play Final Fantasy you prick."
renoo27 1 year ago
@tehsprite He did NOT praise L4D for its narrative. He praised it for its immersion and environments, which are done very well. While Vice City was the only GTA I missed, it probably has a shitty story. I haven't played a single Rockstar game with a good story (even Red Dead Redemption, my favorite game this year, or Max Payne, which has great immersion, too).
samsafisher 1 year ago 2
@samsafisher Probably the Rockstar game with the best storyline was Bully, which even then wasn't fantastic. Enjoyable game regardless, and the narrative was considerably stronger than GTA or RDR, even if the ending was a bit rubbish.

The 50 Cent review is glorious. Not only is it honestly one of the funniest bits of telly ever, it's also absolutely epic the way that Brooker verbally rips that arsehole to pieces.
When he taunts him about enjoying being sodamized... OMG!! LMFAO!!
And trying to make him snag his balls on the edge of a table. XD

The guy at the beginning going on about how bad game's stories are clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. Play Dragon Age: Origins, then you'll know how amazing the stories and characters in games can be.
Basing your knowledge of stories in games on stuff like GTA is just plain unfair.

@mrjoecool What part of me pointing out a game with a good story was supposed to make me look intelligent anyway?

calm down man, was just a throwaway comment, don't loose sleep over it. The way you came across was like one of those pretentious gamers you get who show off about knowing a whole bunch of games. Clearly you're not, but you do need to calm down. Also, i didn't call you an idiot.
And I have no desire to "look intimidating". I'm just commenting on youtube.
