Well-Written Vidya about Betrayal Anonymous 07/19/2024 (Fri) 11:33:58 Id: 7f52b5 No. 991493
It's a topic that isn't really discussed around the gaming industry, people will backstab you, throw you to the curb, treat you like shit and do whatever they can to step on you to get ahead; c'est la vie. It's an emotional cognitive process that erodes the soul and turns you into a complete asshole, I'm sure a lot of you know the feeling, and if you have a game that's resonated with you then I implore you to share it.
>>991493 Tony Hawk's Underground.
San Andreas is famous for some completely out of the blue betrayals.
Andaron Saga, was a Fire Emblem romhack made by a FE jewtuber who was betrayed by pretty much all his online friends and the entire FE community as they MeToo'd him, nearly committed suicide as a result. It's definitely not perfect on the writing front, but it's good enough to be enjoyable and engaging generally, plus it's a fun and well-made game, probably the best FE romhack available and definitely has the highest production quality out of them. The Danganronpa games are filled with betrayal and I'd say the writing is (generally) good. Some are more visceral than others or course which is a good thing. You're all stuck in a hellish situation that forces you into places and states of mind you don't want to be, but everyone has a different way of dealing with life and survival, and it shows. Lots of interesting twists and turns, the first game also has a great sense of immersion imo. Advance Wars: Days of Ruin takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting which is highly conducive towards story themes like that. When human nature is stripped bare of the trapping of society, you find out who people really are on the inside.
Unironically, Shepard betraying Task Force 141 was a well done twist.
>>991493 Actual spoiler:Nier Automata maybe, though theres a lot of ways you can read 9s and 2b's relationship
>>991500 well... If you played it more than once, that isnt the case because of some little snipets from the very beginning >>991667 in all honesty yeah even if fags here are contrarians af and claim otherwise
>>991500 Big Smoke came out of fucking nowhere, and I still remember it years later.
>>991678 I never even PLAYED MW2 and what I played later was purely multiplayer. So fuck you nigger, don't call everyone a fucking contrarian.
I still can't believe Cortex was fucking evil.

As a child I played Arcana on the SNES All I remember is some fairy bitch abandoned/betrayed the party at some point and took all the good gear I had equipped on her It's been like 25 years and I'm still mad, fuck that bitch No idea if later she rejoins or something but that literally pissed me off so bad I never made it past that point. Gonna rob me? Ok slut I'll play something else fuck you

>>993636 Wow, somebody else who played Arcana. You're the first person I've ever seen talk about the game. I still vividly remember the boss music. I wouldn't say it's "well written" but it does have betrayal. Did you know you can't carry more than Did you know you can't carry more than 65536 gold? If you try the shopkeepers will just tell you something about it being dangerous to carry that much money. In reality, it's because the game stored gold as a 16-bit integer, 65536 being 2^16. If they didn't limit it the player would run into overflow bugs, though it shouldn't have been necessarily because that's 100% a terrible and lazy way to implement a value, it is trivially easy to virtualize a 32-bit integer by writing it as two different 16-bit addresses that get read as one.
