Love this series man! Although I don't know how important is building the story alongside gameplay in a medium where many will keep playing so long as the game is fun. Now you've got me curious for your take on TLOU PII because, while I dropped the game halfway through I thought the first half was great. But then it ends on a cliffhanger and I couldn't be bothered to see the other side from the second character in the game. I was just not interested. The best way I can describe it is that the narrative worked (during the first half) within the context of playing a character you've known since the first game, so there's a strong relationship with what I see as the central theme of the game, revenge. I don't share those same feelings when we shift focus because this other character feels like a complete stranger, just couldn't connect to her backstory or motivation. And while I sympathize with her story, I feel nothing. So, narrative TLOU 1 > TLOU 2 but gameplay wise TLOU 1 < TLOU 2.

I find the focus of games on the player's avatar for story quite misleading. One of the best aspects of games is that they can take the player's input into account and are not reliant on telling the story of the avatar and only that one character like films or books. One of the reasons I liked "Sorcery!" by Inkle. Because the character was able to develop a lot of personality despite being a blank character in theory. Or slay the spire and the personality with the card deck. Games can just focus on the theme with gameplay the story of the Avatar is formed with the action of the player on the side as a mirror of the player. Or to take Brian Mcdonald word the Invisible Ink. the Armature (still very stupid word but yeah) Teaching the player something through the development of his avatar is nice. But I think teaching the player something directly is a better goal for games to achieve a higher level of storytelling making the player the focus of the problem not Samus/Link/Mario etc.

Few do story telling in video games better than From Software. Some people think it's cryptic and confusing and I would agree if you try to piece the whole story together through cutscenes alone. So much of the game's stories are in level design and gameplay.

Title: Red Sands of Valor In the scorching deserts of a foreign land, a elite team of soldiers, code-named "Sands of Valor", are deployed to take down a ruthless terrorist organization, known as "The Scorpion's Tail". Led by Captain Jameson "Hawk" Wilson, a seasoned veteran of combat, the team consists of experts from different countries, each with their unique skills. As they navigate the treacherous terrain, they are ambushed by the terrorists, leading to a brutal and intense firefight. The team fights their way through the enemy lines, with bullets flying and bodies dropping. They soon discover that the terrorists possess a deadly new weapon, capable of wiping out entire cities. The stakes are raised when they learn that the weapon is hidden in a heavily fortified stronghold, deep within enemy territory. The team launches a ferocious assault on the stronghold, with explosions rocking the ground and bloodshed everywhere. They fight their way through the enemy's defenses, with hand-to-hand combat and gruesome killings. As they near the weapon, they face off against the rogue general, who unleashes his personal guard, a team of ruthless mercenaries. The battle is fierce and intense, with the Sands of Valor team taking heavy casualties. In a last-ditch effort, Hawk and Amir launch a final attack, with Hawk taking down the general in a brutal hand-to-hand combat. With the weapon destroyed and the enemy defeated, the team extracts from the stronghold, but not without scars, both physical and emotional. They return home, hailed as heroes, but forever changed by the horrors of war.

JAX (checking his weapon) Roger that, Hawk. I'm ready to take point. LILA (eyeing the terrain) I've got our six, Hawk. Let's move out. HAWK (nodding) Move out! Suddenly, the team is ambushed by terrorists. TERRORIST 1 (shouting) You'll never take us alive! HAWK (returning fire) Take cover! JAX (firing his weapon) I've got multiple hostiles, Hawk! LILA (throwing a grenade) Get down! CUT TO: The team regrouping, battered and bruised. HAWK (to team) We need to keep moving. The weapon is still out there. JAX (wincing in pain) I've got a bad feeling about this, Hawk. LILA (checking her gear) We need to get that weapon before it falls into the wrong hands. AMIR (approaching the team) You're the Sands of Valor team, yes? I've been sent to assist you. HAWK (sizing Amir up) What makes you think we need your help? AMIR (smiling) Let's just say I have skills that will come in handy. CUT TO: The team approaching the stronghold. HAWK (to team) Alright, here's the plan... JAX (interrupting) Hawk, I've got a bad feeling about this. HAWK (firmly) We do this, Jax. We get in, get the weapon, and get out. LILA (nodding) Let's do it!
