Hi I'm a retard and can't deal with what the storie gives me, so I need to redo everything because I didn't know what was I doing, I don't even have the decency to explain the retcon in a believable way in the story or change it naturallywith the story, so isn't technicality a retconned part of the story but an evolution. You liked the retconned story and is no longer canon? Well, fuck you¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A good writer knows how to transform the story if he is no longer satisfied with the canon, because his only limit is his imagination. A shit writer just destroys the building, fucking the potential of the first story.
OP you're an autistic faggot but you're also objectively correct. Any writer that relies on retcons needs to get back to basics.
Andrew Taylor
I know what you mean.
The Retcons in Ardyn's DLC and the novel for FFXV keep me from paying money for the other DLCs
Joseph Green
Neck yourself XV-kun
Nathaniel Barnes
please, Barry cries on and on about how the novel is "alt-timeline non canon bullshit" despite the fact it is the novelization of cancelled story DLC
Asher Howard
Neck yourself XV-kun.

I still resent Crytek for what happened with Crysis 2. I know the story is barely there, but the removal of Nomad is baffling to me. The fact that he died in some comic book story added the confusion
Robert Allen
To be fair Crysis 1 ending did set up Prophet as next MC, but it set him up as alone on the Alien-infested frozen island and their ship, not in fucking Jew York
Grayson Myers
You first. Let people enjoy what they enjoy, fagit.
Cooper Sanchez
the fuck is the point in blue bolding those particular words

Continuity in stories literally kills whole mediums. Western comics are unreadable and complete garbage thanks to companies trying to appeal to retards like you. Anime and mangas were hit pretty hard too.
Retcon your fucking life. What kind of no life losers keeps tracks of canon?
Caleb Perry
Is the game fun to play? That's the only important thing. If you enjoy the gameplay then who gives a fuck about the story. If you don't enjoy the gameplay then why are you playing it?
7th Gen games tend to fall into this issues more often because of its multimedia focus. MW trilogy, Crysis and Mass Effect etc. Now, the multimedia focus is still here (Halo, Deus Ex), but they saw less use now fortunately.
Nathaniel Parker
We're not talking about sequel bait here though, it's about retcon in halfway finished story that was and still an issue. I agree though, the overuse of continuous, never ending story in films and video games is grating at this point. Just let it finished naturally and move on.
Logan Moore
>Anime and mangas were hit pretty hard too. They've been getting more popular though.
Logan Jackson
Why is this always the case? Only a few japanese games/old crpgs actually had writing that wasn't cringy
Henry Miller
trips of truth

Whats the most retarded/baffling retcon in any videogame? for me its the quinari in dragon age 2, in dao they were just some tall dark skinned humans, then for some reason every quinari became into a gigachad with horns in da2 Isaac's face in DS1 and DS2 was pretty baffling too
Parker Nguyen
>Whats the most retarded/baffling retcon in any videogame? All of MGS4
Ethan Barnes
>Whats the most retarded/baffling retcon in any videogame?
the ones introduced in Episode Ardyn and the novels made from cancelled story DLC.
>Ardyn is suddenly a "did nothing wrong" badguy. >Bahamut is the real badguy and the real source of the Starscourge
those two retcons are the worst.
Cooper Rivera
>Ardyn is suddenly a "did nothing wrong" badguy. So fucking stupid. I liked the original idea of Ardyn just being an Ancestor that's a douchebag, but for some reason nips need villians to have a reason to be evil 24/7. Glad I dropped the game after episode shitnis
Isaac Cox
I don't even use power armor in Fallout 4 or 76 because they fucked it up
Joseph Carter
>I liked the original idea of Ardyn just being an Ancestor that's a douchebag
same, I liked him when he was a discount Kefka that wanted revenge on the two bloodlines that fucked him over.
Hell, before the retcons FFXV is one of the few games where both the good guys and bad guys win. Noctis - stops Ardyn and his Starscourge once and for all at the cost of his life Ardyn - ends the two bloodlines that fucked him over (Oracle and Kings of Lucis)
Liam Morris
because they need to make sales and often times the suits demand certain characters to show up. this of course would break the canon just to appease those niggers
Colton Phillips
why do people have to change stories that already exist instead of making new ones with the changes they like?
Christopher Jones
>japanese game >not cringy
Thomas Russell
I said a few. Like 5 games
Michael Ward
Business first, art second.
Evan Wood
Its marketability is probably why. Companies that publishes your work wouldn't dare publish your original work because the risk of it undersell. With already established works, now you get to have your donut steel story greenlit with impunity because the IP is well known enough people will buy it because of its brand name, that's the theory at least.
