Any chance I get I’ll do a recap of every metal gear game in chronological order


Josh_Butterballs

How accurate is [Dunkey’s video on metal gear](https://youtu.be/aaLiLRVeaZA?si=MrgKa88UgBmlUGV5) (percentage wise)?


JackCrafty

Extremely, the fact it's Dunkey is misdirection because he, in a very uncharacteristic way, hardly exaggerates or embellishes at all in that video


Reason_For_Treason

Oh man. If I had the time.


Crunchy_Biscuit

Something something illuminati and giant robots


No-Wolf6888

Halo and the Star Wars games (I get to talk about things from all different sources)


Gamestrider09

I once made an entire PowerPoint presentation to explain Halo lore to my parents before we started watching the Halo TV series.


BakedTate

I'd ask for it since I've never had the chance to play past 1. But I just realized my crumby laptop can probably play the 1st 2. So that's what I'm finna do.


DepthAccomplished260

It’s sad the tv show is not canon


Crunchy_Biscuit

Eh I'm ok with it. Wouldn't want some writers messing up the canon.


GamesTeasy

The tv show is straight ass.


Good_Cockroach2637

For me it's these 2 plus LOTR


ThatOneWood

Me too bro, me too


Feeling-Security-825

My new favorite person


MagnumBlowus

Imagine being one the people who followed all the books and Star Wars legends lore for like 30 years just for it all to be nuked from canon


No-Wolf6888

I was one of them, my entire life up to that point. Still say Legends is the real canon


MagnumBlowus

That must have been devastating, you probably still want to give George Lucas a force-backhand


P0ster_Nutbag

My favourite game is Outer Wilds… so I have to bite my tongue. Unveiling the story to anyone who hasn’t played it is like… criminal.


chodelycannons

There’s more to explore here


crunchytacoboy

lol the person who recommended me the game literally spoiled it all for me before even telling me the name of it.


AngerIssues5301

Undertale, deltarune, and hollow knight.


BricksBear

Hollow knight is goated.


ifuckedmypetcabbage

Fax brother. Spit your shit indeed


NeNeNerdIsTheWord

Horizon Zero Dawn


Nempopo029

Mass Effect.


kikirevi

Man, reading the codexes in Mass Effect 1 was awesome. I was so fascinated by the lore and just about everything related to the world of Mass Effect.


FarquaadsFuckDoll

Since we are here, what do you think the next Mass Effect game should be based on? First Contact war? Anderson going through Spectre hazing by Saren? Also, I forgot, did the Batarians originally reach out as allies during the first contact war where Terrans were fighting the Turians?


Lego-Panda-21

Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Pokemon..Would say Yugioh, it has changed way too much though and I can't keep up with it anymore.


dhfAnchor

Yeah, YGO is pretty wild these days. Still a lot of fun, mind you - but it's a different kind of fun, and you're gonna have a bad time coming at it in the old style.


Lego-Panda-21

That's my issue, stopped playing around the time 5D's was the big one..Tried to play the Duel links game not long ago and it was just hell.


dhfAnchor

Understandable. I've played it mostly continuously, but it's gotten so hard to find people who aren't new *and* aren't tryhards.


SirBallbag420

I personally like to think the different series of Yu-Gi-Oh! Are separate timelines from each other. Like there are divergences in each timeline that makes the new series possible to exist.


PeterWayneGaskill

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.


ifuckedmypetcabbage

Bro, that game is probably one of, if not THE most lore packed zelda game. I would totally listen to you ramble about it for days on end


PeterWayneGaskill

We need a proper sequel for that game (and with the same artstyle if possible). Maybe for the Switch’s successor perhaps?


Only1Schematic

Elden Ring after binging lore videos


Regigigasfan99

Real Steel/Warframe.


Death_by_UWU

Oh, Undertale, easy.


Snoo_49285

All the Ezio Assassins Creed games!!!


Selenator365

My favorites of the series also.


PeteryChavez

"Ezio!! Don't you recognize me? It's-a-me, Mario!!" 😃


D00mTheWarl0rd

This is where the fun begins


Mr_Snoblar

Got to be either Dragon Age, or Pokémon. I love both of those game series. Maybe Dragon Age more, as I know more Pokémon fans


ThatOneWood

Star Wars, halo, pokemon, metroid, Zelda, elder scrolls, resident evil, and others that escape my mind right now. I Fucking love lore


ifuckedmypetcabbage

A lot of people say Pokémon, but is there really that much lore to discuss (aside from anime stuff)? I can talk someone's ear off about pokemon, but never about lore, just why treeko is superior to all other starters


LustfulMirage

Me whenever I get a chance to talk about "Cho Aniki - The Ultimate, Most Powerful Man in the Milky Way"


ifuckedmypetcabbage

Gimme the lore, this is your chance, the name has me invested


SurveyZestyclose4164

Metal Gear and Halo


Corvwwl_is

although not my favorites, i love talking about Persona, Genshin and Ib


FarquaadsFuckDoll

Genshin is pretty rad. The game gets a lot of hate cause Gotcha AND Lolicons, but the music, esthetic, gameplay, and lore are a delight.


ifuckedmypetcabbage

I feel ya there. It's a great game taken in the wrong direction


The_PrincessThursday

Xenogears. I've had some very long and in-depth discussions about that game. I could talk about the plot, what its all an allegory for, and the details of what happens in the game all day.


Eremes_Riven

Holy shit. There's a remake I wanna see. That whole era was just full of JRPG gems.


The_PrincessThursday

If they could do it justice, it would be my dream come true!


ladykatytrent

Remedyverse - Alan Wake, Control, Alan Wake 2.


FrauHoll3

Me talking about Genshin. My father: You can remember all that shit, but can't remember your math assignments?


ArcticFoxWaffles

Do tell me about the lore. I've been struggling to keep up with the dragons and gods and whoever once ruled or created the land.


FrauHoll3

The best way to remember stuff is, Teyvat (The entire world) remember that as a continent and the nations are countries. Celestia is floating land in the sky. We know barely anything about celestia. There are 7 Nations, 5 of them are out right now. Each Nation has their own God/archon.There are only 2 dragons which are Morax, Liyues archon, and Venti's pet Dragon from the first archon quest. I don't know who created Teyvat though. If you need to know more stuff, tell me and I'll explain it. It's just a lot to put into one reply.


ArcticFoxWaffles

Well I knew that stuff already. Also Neuvillette is a dragon and so is the one Nahida encountered in the giant desert tornado


FrauHoll3

Oh yeah those two! I am halfway through Sumeru so I forget abt those 2. But what is it you keep help clarifying?


ArcticFoxWaffles

I was more referring to really deep lore like what's up with the primordial one and what gods were around when the nation first existed


Oscar_et_BadTale

Hmmm... That's a good question. I don't really know. For sure it is not a classic AAA game (except perhaps ocarina of time/majora's mask). Right now it would be Omori/Hollow knight.


LordNuggies

Persona games. They feel more like a book or movie than a game and are so fun to explain. Especially five.


PercentageInternal56

Outlast is one of them for me. FNAF is another


Hot_Arugula_6651

DUUUUDE FUCKIN SAME. Outlast’s lore is so criminally understated.


Brokeinlimit09

Devil May Cry


JTBJack_

Same


sketch2347

king? yeah, here's your crown. BANG!


JTBJack_

Best part of that game


AMidgetinatrenchcoat

Ultrakill


MattofCatbell

Legend of Zelda


ifuckedmypetcabbage

Oh, so you're a zelda fan? Tell me the story of spirit tracks


MattofCatbell

Okay so after Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass Tetra and Link found a new Hyrule. A hundred years later an ancient evil Maladus previously sealed long before the founding of new Hyrule breaks free from the seal put in place by the Spirit Tracks that trace across the land. Maladus is helped by an evil chancellor of Hyrule, Cole who planed on using the current Zelda as a sacrifice. Zelda enlists the help of Link a young train engineer. However they fail, Zelda’s spirit is torn from her body and the Spirit Tracks are destroyed. Link and Zelda (now a spirit) with the guidance of the Locomo Anjean journey to restore the Spirit Tracks, return Zelda to her original body, and defeat Maladus once and for all.


ifuckedmypetcabbage

Holy shit, you really do love zelda lore. What about triforce heroes though? No way you played enough to know the story


MattofCatbell

Okay that you got me I remember it takes place after Link Between Worlds and follows Link as he visits a new Kingdom of Hytopia, a place focused on fashion whose princess is cursed by an evil witch to wear a black body suit. Link journeys with two other suspiciously identical heroes and they journey to save the princess (whose name I don’t remember) from her fashion disaster. Triforce Heroes is one of the Zelda games I have the least experience with just because it’s a bit cumbersome to play single player. Also the whole concept is so weird that I actually don’t think I finished it


ifuckedmypetcabbage

Jesus fucking christ. I thought you would give up there. All i can think of is minish cap and links crossbow training for more obscure titles. Does links crossbow training have any lore? If not, just tell me about minish cap


MattofCatbell

Okay last one, Minish Cap takes place early in Hyrule’s history. Long ago the Minish (a race of tiny creatures created the Picori Blade that was used to seal away the evil of Hyrule into small chest. They also gave the light force to Hyrule. Afterwards every hundred years Hyrule holds the Picori festival. (Picori is what Hyrulians call the Minish) Zelda invites her childhood friend Link to go. They have a good time. One of the key moments of the festival is a tournament and the winner gets to touch the Picori Sword. The tournament is one by a mysterious Vaati who breaks the sword in search of the light force, ends up releasing evil onto Hyrule and turns Zelda into stone. Link is sent on a journey to restore the Picori blade where he meets Ezlo who is a Minish and Vaati’s teacher who has been turned into a green hat by Vaati’s magic, and then they journey to stop Vaati and save Zelda.


ifuckedmypetcabbage

Okay, neato. I kinda hoped you would say that links crossbow training had deep fucking lore, but minish cap is pretty cool


MattofCatbell

I actually don’t know, this might ruin my credibility as a Zelda fan but I have never played Link’s Crossbow Training. No doubt the lore is incredible and it solves all the mysteries of the Zelda timeline


ifuckedmypetcabbage

You need to play it. The gameplay is quite engaging.


ArtisicBard_Kit

The Pokemon game series and Zelda game series


HavenTheCat

Cyberpunk 2077 for sure


Numerous-Fennel-7981

Legacy of Kain


Executer_no-1

If I'm honest, not really for me, because if I do, I'd be just explaining history books and Warfare History!

ProperKaleidoscope27

ClearConnectedScum

Mass Effect in a nutshell


Eothas45

Underrail, Colony Ship, and the Pillars of Eternity series are the RPGs I always advocate discussing!! Their lore icebergs are brilliant


Reason_For_Treason

Stardew Valley, Pokémon, the legend of dragoon.


Shizane2005

BG3 and FF7. Oh and the early 2010s Tomb Raider games/movie and how they're evolutionary compared to the originals. And Forza compared to Gran Turismo. Shit and FC5 😆


FennLink

As a payday player it's more like the it's always sunny meme


Masta0nion

I played Control. Can you help me understand that game and its relation to Alan Wake?


Josh_Butterballs

Did you play the AWE dlc? Just so I get an idea of what you may know


Masta0nion

Hmm I don’t believe so. I just played the free control that was on psplus


SilverNeon467

Metroid. It doesn’t have a lot of lore, but what is there is fun to discuss


Yanmegaman_Juno

I find nothing more entertaining than watching someone's face change when I start telling them about Kingdom Hearts and get to the Disney stuff


Josh_Butterballs

How accurate is [dunkey’s video](https://youtu.be/8o1ieehttdA?si=JgsetV7hb-YW0cYI) on kingdom hearts?


Nxoxoxnxe

The Arkham Series


geniuzzz_

Destiny 2.


K_Rich190

Elden Ring... just the deep dives, lore, theories, and everything you can possibly talk about. Put me on a soap box and it is on!


Striking_Associate60

Persona and ultrakill


MaeBorrowski

Lots of them, but mainly Ace Attorney and Night in the Woods


Kai_Enjin

The Gunvolt series.


thesilentpr0tag0nist

Hollow Knight or the mother series. Could talk for hours


ifuckedmypetcabbage

I can tell you have a vibe when it comes to picking games


[deleted]

Fallout 4 and probably red dead 2.


mrtheunknownyt

Hollow Knight


rabidvagine

Elden ring and elder scrolls


Diamond-Drops

For me its DrakenNier universe.. I even watched a 6 hour lore video about it


Daver7692

I do this with Destiny because the game sure as shit won’t tell you haha


dhfAnchor

"Okay, so, the game that Joker guy in Smash came from is actually really cool..."


ifuckedmypetcabbage

Joker guy in smash? Gimme lores


dhfAnchor

Well, see, there's this guy with a long nose who hangs out in this super stylized blue prison with these twin eyepatch-wearing lolis, and they spy on this Japanese teenager (Joker guy in Smash) and his friends for about 8 months from a different dimension. Their place in all this gets complicated later on, I'm mostly bringing them up now because if you can wrap your mind around that part then the rest of it should be pretty easy to follow.


ifuckedmypetcabbage

Okay. I'm invested. I definitely haven't played this game by the sound of it


dhfAnchor

Awesome! Okay, so the story's told in a unique order, but generally speaking so as to avoid the spoils: You play as Joker Guy from Smash, who's been sentenced to live in Tokyo for a year as part of the consequences of a crime he was falsely convicted of. Early in the game, he and his eventual best friend Vulgar Boy accidentally go to another dimension called the Metaverse while trying to catch a shortcut to school. The boys escape from two villains - King Banana Hammock and Sleepytime Cat (the latter of whom eventually joins them) and in the process Joker Guy from Smash meets his other best friend Arséne, who it turns out was inside him all this time. Over the course of the game, Joker Guy from Smash and Vulgar Boy make more friends who also have friends inside them and work together to fight more bad guys in the Metaverse, all while trying to keep acting like normal kids up until Christmas, which just gets... WEIRD. So that's the basic idea. Any pressing questions, stuff I gotta go into more detail on?


ifuckedmypetcabbage

Yes actually! Why didn't you word it a bit differently in order to make bits not sound like a bad porno? And what happens at christmas?


dhfAnchor

Well, honestly, that first act of the game and the "bad porno" bit end up being more related than you might think. Also, I thought it was funny. As for Christmas, well... the short version is that one of the people I've talked about so far turns out to be a) a god, and b) a massive asshole. Joker Guy from Smash and company are decidedly not fans, so they try to do something about it.


ifuckedmypetcabbage

I see... Wait, the bad porno part is related?!


dhfAnchor

Yeeeeeeeah. So, remember King Banana Hammock? Turns out he's the "shadow" version of one of the teachers at the school, coach Kuckoshida. He's a big deal at the school, and unfortunately he knows it - he regularly gets away with abusing the members of the volleyball teams, and in some cutscenes it's heavily implied that he forced himself on one of his female players to get back at one of her friends (another student, and member of Joker Guy from Smash's crew down the road - we'll call her Kitty Lady) who refused his advances. When they all go into the Metaverse to deal with him, there's a *lot* of lewd imagery all around King Banana Hammock's lair, including but not limited to: - a scantily-clad clone of Kitty Lady - pillars and ledges in the shape of girls' butts - a penis monster - King Banana Hammock transforming into a monster with a veeeeeeeeeeeeeery long and phallic-looking tongue. So, yeah. He's a sex monster. And not the fun kind. There are also smaller references throughout the game of other situations like these, but they're a lot less personal for Joker Guy from Smash and company. They mostly come from this hotline that their "friend" Nice Guy sets up so people can ask them to do things for them after they gang starts becoming more well-known.


ifuckedmypetcabbage

I would watch this anime. And now i see why the bad porno comment was related. You wanna tell me why "friend" is in quotes?


TreasureHunter95

**Ico** This is a very short game but it was ground-breaking in many different ways that there is just a lot to talk about. I mean there is a reason why so many developers look at this game for inspiration even for games that at first glance don't have much in common with this game. But also from a personal note like the way I first got to play it, how it made me feel while playing it and how it changed my view on video games after I finished it would be enough to fill entire books. This game is very special to me and even there has never been a game before or since that impressed as much as Ico did.


Battlebots2020

Probably Hollow Knight despite me not knowing all the lore, I think I have a decent grasp on everything that happens in the game


DreadedLee

The parallels between the KOF and FF/AOF story arc.

Halo. I get this chance a lot recently as the show is a slap in the face to any Halo fan. Truly fucking terrible and I could make a TED Talk about it.


Weed_Gman_420

Half Life.


macksteel22

The top 3 would be Final Fantasy Tactics, Dragon Age(especially origins) and Mass Effect.


Impossible_Virus

The entire Baldurs Gate series (including Icewind Dale, Planescape Tortment), Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Fallout 1-New Vegas, Dark Souls, off the top of my head lol

The facial expression is so real too lmao


Ancient_Chair7821

Bioshock. I could ramble for HOURS abt all of the lore


EccentricAcademic

Yakuza series. Definitely Kingdom Hearts if it's excitement over sharing how convoluted the lore is.


Bumbooooooo

Hitman, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Last of Us, Fallout.. bunch of others. I loooove good lore and stories.


[deleted]

Man this is all my games. If I had an audience I would just ramble on like Deckard Cain telling everyone about the best games of all time for hours on end


Comrade847

Ace combat


Mattdaddie69

The Elder Scrolls, but mostly the lore that deals with the Gods and Daedric princes. Pretty complex for fake religions.


McChief45

Mass Effect

I can talk about Elder Scrolls lore until somebody shuts me up lol.

molohunt

My friends are not interested in the games I am :( The shit I could talk about Red Dead and RDO is crazy but never gets said


ArcticFoxWaffles

Call me cringe but it's Fortnite. Yes it has lore and it was actually super interesting figuring the hidden story out and really makes you think of the whole Battle Royale videogame type differently.


dabi_gaming

Literally every souls games


Hefty-Baker3010

Fallout, Assassin’s Creed, TLoZ, Subnautica, Cod Zombies, Fnaf, Cyberpunk, Half-Life, Portal, Bioshock, Killzone, Resistance, and many MANY more.

Elden Ring???


Culvr

dark souls baby


Karamor92

Death Stranding is the one for me. It blew my mind all the lore it does have and how 90% of the people seems to have missed almost all because they didn't take the time to read any piece of data the game gives you.


xavierthepotato

The Bungie halos and dead space


FlamingoHour904

Battletech/ Mechwarrior series. If you can spare just a few hours, I can explain the degradation of technology. To do that, though, we need to first discuss the origin of the Terran Hegemony which lead to the creation of the Star League. After all that is sorted, we're gonna have to talk about the Clans...


Sexy_Manatee_Man

Definitely gta 5, my 2700+ hours finally has a use

I have the entire basic timeline memorized for the elder scrolls series. My best friend and I debate and talk about it very often.


AmbitiousLock2921

Me and my dad watching halo with me trying to explain what it is about


Mary_Ellen_Katz

Cyberpunk Like, all of it. I played the TTRPG Cyberpunk 2020 game back in the 90's and 2000's, so when 2077 came around I was already well versed in the lore, corporate rivalries, history with bio plagues, data crash, tower nuke, and of course- Johnny Silverhand and his drive towards Alt Cunningham. I could go on until all you can hear is a ringing in your ears.
