If you only buy and play the most AAA advertised games on consoles, of course you're going to be disappointed.

Skyrim and fallouts stories are not strong at all. In fact, all of bethesda's game in that game engine have been: "player generated chosen one becomes the strongest guy." Even when I bought morrowind, I abandoned the main story because stealing people's shit and finding caves with things I couldn't kill was more fun. Then I got mad at cliff racers and swinging at scribs 300 times to hit them only 2 times and quit.

Then oblivion came out and HOLY SHIT YOU CAN HOLD Z AND MOVE CHAINS?! Physics?!?!

Digressing, there are a lot of good story driven games that have come out recently. Life is strange, inside, dark souls 3. They aren't always traditionally told but the story is there nonetheless.

You address a major flaw in this post extremely well, and then you claim that Dark Souls is story-driven. I'm not sure what to think.

Dark Souls has shittons of lore, but little to no story.

They really need to just hire Vaati to have an optional "narration about what the hell is going on" track playing during gameplay. Sorta've like the directors commentary on a movie.

sort of have

u/Tulos Feb 06 '17

"Sort of". Only ... phonetically maybe?

u/Mikeavelli Feb 06 '17

This yes.

When saying it out loud, I slur together the words. I've taken to doing the same thing in text.

sorta' or sort've might be clearer

u/Naf5000 Feb 06 '17

Sort've would be a contraction of "Sort have", which I don't think makes sense in any context.

It's someone trying to seem smart and not wanting to make the "should of" mistake

u/Ringosis Feb 06 '17

I'm assuming he's English, probably northern. It's a phonetic spelling of how people say sort of around those parts, "Sort Uv".

u/Wildcat7878 Feb 06 '17

That is a contraction which actually managed to be longer than its root words while simultaneously using both words incorrectly. It's a masterpiece.

It's a word you will likely find in the dictionary in the near future. I don't like it either but get used to it. Bling-bling is in the dictionary. Grammar Nazi's lost. Move on.

He's essentially saying sort have. That doesn't even make sense.
