Recently I saw a negative Half Life 2 steam review which said that the game has "no lore, no worldbuilding". Expecting mountains of lore from a 10 hour long linear shooter is already retarded, but what really frightens me is the worldbuilding part. Half Life 2 has more worldbuilding than 99% of all non-RPG games before it but the average normiecattle consoomer does not understand that you can just look around, notice and analyze things. They think that worldbuilding is when you get exposition dumps from NPCs and find skeletons inside bathrooms like in Bethesda games.

ZOG slaves dont want the "lore" to be in the games because that would mean they have to play the games

Or when you have to collect 86 audio logs and diary entries scattered all over the place. Game storytelling is a disaster because on millennials.

Silly frogcaca the goyim dont want to look around on their own, or come to conclusions based on their prior understandings- they want a youtube '6 hour [game] essay(to fall asleep to)' baked into their bing bing wahoo.

I've seen worse.
Megaman Zero and a good chunk of the Inti Creates IPs are notorious for leaving important story or character details outside of their games. Sometimes they're locked behind collector's edition shit, audio dramas, snca novels, or in fucking interviews/QnAs which are only published in sum anniversary compendium like every 5 years or so.

To be fair the half life lore is pretty thin (good thing btw loreGOONERs are fags), as is the lore of it's contemporaries, due to them being 10~ hour campaign FPS's. Blame the reviewers disdain on nuGODS addiction to feature length lore video essays made by autistic trannies o algo
<need youtube to eat food btw
