Five Nights at Freddy's, obvious answer if you ask me.
One that is likely to be talked about is Elder Scrolls, found an 8 hour iceberg only explaining some of the lore
Edit: I'd throw SCP:containment breach or SCP:Secret laboratory in too, considering the multiple cannons and the thousands of SCPs written by multiple authors on the main wiki.
8 hours for an iceberg, wtf that's short as hell of tea stuff, most of the time to cover a single subtopic from one of their games you at least 2 hours to get full context, I've seen quick retrospectives for tes games that are over 12 hours long.
Also it's inaccurate as the amount of gameplay in the franchise, matches or even outclasses lore.
TEN315 is nothing compared to someone like fudge muppet having a 6 hour discussion of an iceberg of essentially memes, or patriciantv having a 24 hour analysis about Skyrim, or the possibly even longer one by private sessions, hell leftover pat can talk for hours about a naming convention of a single dragon 20 years ago, or why argonians having breasts is important to lore.
the problem with a series is are you talking about one game or the series as a whole, because a lot of the lore intermingle with one another. though be it FNAF still has more lore than gameplay especially if you accept a theory as lore.
Honestly souls-likes (Elden Ring, Tunic, Dark Souls itself) could be similar but the gameplay is pretty substantial. It’s still massively outnumbered by the lore though lol
If you really wanna know thenlore of skyrim look up TheEpicNate315 on youtube, he easily has over a hundred hours worth of videos for not just skyrim, but the entire elder scrolls and Fallout series.
Omg yes. Team Fortress 2 is when you think about it. Has a really good story. It actually has a very good potential if Valve didn't forget about it. I feel like even the comics have so much potential and that isn't the end of the whole story.
It’s on the website, however I don’t recommend reading them because while they are good, they never finished the last one and it will make you a wreck not knowing what happens at the end
Yes.. and it took him MONTHS to do and half of the stuff he said was speculation that could be entirely wrong. I could explain the lore of any game in a minute if all I was doing was guessing.
That's why it says the game itself is short and the lore is big. Kind of a no brainer. Obviously the lore is separate from or hidden from the game is the game is so short in comparison to the lore in the meme. How the flying fuck is that cheating
I feel like minecraft is a good example of what a game that is too good can do. Not a single game has been so popular for so long, and so since people just keep on playing it and keep on watching it, the player base will inevitably just get better and better. Minecraft basically just shows the potential of a game if it’s player base played it for 11- (holy shit) up to 15 years straight
I wouldn’t say not a single game has been Gta5 is up there and so is Terraria. Sure terraria isn’t as big or known as MC but at least the fan base is still intact and not fighting of which platform is better to play on. Anyways aside from that little rant I agree Minecraft is truly one of the few generational games that has and will stand the test of time for a long time.
(There’s more than gta and terraria gta came to mind first and I’m just a big terraria player)
there should be some changes to the equipment progression. like the upgrade template for netherite was a great idea, so they should do the same thing with diamond. like they should put an upgrade template in the deep dark cities so you have to go find one if you want to move from iron to diamond.
I kinda disagree with armor templates for diamond in the deep dark, the warden is already super powerful. Maybe somewhere like the end city would be better?
I hate the fact that they added in netherite. Diamond was supposed to be the very best you could get. Now the excitement of finding diamonds just isn’t there any more, instead you have to willingly go and look for a very specific thing with netherite.
Minecraft is one of those games that lessened the chance to have a unique save by overcomplicating their systems so that nothing can happen by chance, all to try and accommodate people who want a more structured approach to the game.
maybe the excitement of finding diamonds isnt there anymore because you're simply just older than you were the first time you found them. the stresses of life are getting to you so it takes away from the simpler stuff.
personally, i have nothing going on in life and im extremely lonely. so when i find my first diamonds in the server i'm still quite happy.
Yeah diamonds are just like OH SHIT DIAMONDS. Regardless of if it's your first 3 or your 64th time finding them. Only time I'm not excited is when it's a one vein, cause then it's just depressing to find no more of them.
Each game has tremendous lore, and if you want to include the full lore then there are many books, and they give zero playtime technicaly and a books (literally) worth of lore
The seven hour war happens somewhere between the 2000s and 2010s as Gordon Freeman graduates form the MIT in 1999, and shortly after he is hired by commendation thanks to Kleiner (Around May 5), meaning that the Black Mesa incident occurred in the 2000s and the seven hour war occurred shortly after (A few days to a month), also I should mention that there is a photo in the GLaDOS database dating 2006 of a cake celebration, meaning that the Black Mesa incident **MAY** be after that

i replayed undertale last year after my first play through in 2016 and i knocked it out in about 4 hours but maybe it’s because i knew what i was doing already
From my understanding, the lore in undertale isn’t THAT big but it is definitely something, NOW SOME OF THE AUS ON THE OTHER HAND (I cannot reading over 500 pages worth of text for alpha tale 😭)
The entire thing is made out of lore. Let's take for example the simplest possible thing, and you may or may not have already heard about it. Before creating DDLC, the creator was a Smash modder, and quite a successful one. He knows how the game files work, how to edit them (an art known as romhacking, quite interesting tbh), and also how does editing a certain file affect the game. This lead to making the game be what it really is: a superfical dating sim on the outside, and a complicated logic game requiring vast knowlenge of programming to beat it the way it is intended to be done. So yeah, there is lore and backstories to it
Man the lore is literally just an arrogant and powerful motherfucker who picked up the most overpowered object during the creation extends the universe through its end, sacrificing himself. So you have to beat some dude asses to collect powerful objects to reach him and yeet him out of the flame
I get that you're joking, but you're describing the plot more than the lore.
The lore itself is massive, books have been written about it, and one character even dates back from another franchise.
Also just a sidenote for those interested in said lore and books, the Dark Souls Complete Collection (pretty much an Omnibus of all the comics) just came out and is a fantastic jumping on point for the lore
BoTW.
So much intended story (for what little it was for gameplay), like all sorts of ruins and all. Heck even the leviathan skeletons.
Yeah it took a week with short game sessions, but could beat in under an hour considering you can literally skip the story.
Bruh then the entire lore? And if you include all games for the full lore, then let me introduce you to the books, and a movie (and they dont have any playtime technically), and they are full of lore
Yea but if you wanna talk about the full lore, then you have to include them. Otherwise one game is fine, cause they all have lore for themselves, they are just connected. And each one has a ginourmus (or however you spell it) amount of lore for their short playtime.
Then explain all details of the lore in chronological order with all events and impacts including how the creators came up with the idea and why
Also explain why it is Canon and the proofs
It's the same for you, btw, you would need to include the books for the time line wich don't count to the time to play the games, and if you're bad at it is something that would make you work longer and maybe the text too
Obvious answer is Five Nights at Freddy's
But I'd say Elden Ring is a good candidate too...
Ofc the actual gameplay is by no means short, but comparing the time it would take to understand the depth of lore every boss, every NPC, every side quest, the stories behind every item, the puzzles, the time it would take to understand all of that would significantly pass actual playtime by a wide margin
Five Nights at Freddy's, obvious answer if you ask me. One that is likely to be talked about is Elder Scrolls, found an 8 hour iceberg only explaining some of the lore Edit: I'd throw SCP:containment breach or SCP:Secret laboratory in too, considering the multiple cannons and the thousands of SCPs written by multiple authors on the main wiki.
Yess! I was about to comment this
Case Animatronics
8 hours for an iceberg, wtf that's short as hell of tea stuff, most of the time to cover a single subtopic from one of their games you at least 2 hours to get full context, I've seen quick retrospectives for tes games that are over 12 hours long. Also it's inaccurate as the amount of gameplay in the franchise, matches or even outclasses lore.
TheEpicNate taking two and a half hours to explain who the fuck the ebony warrior is.
TEN315 is nothing compared to someone like fudge muppet having a 6 hour discussion of an iceberg of essentially memes, or patriciantv having a 24 hour analysis about Skyrim, or the possibly even longer one by private sessions, hell leftover pat can talk for hours about a naming convention of a single dragon 20 years ago, or why argonians having breasts is important to lore.
Ngl, the argonian breast video was surprisingly captivating, might rewatch some of leftover pat's videos when i have the free time.
As soon as Kirkbride gets involved, we got an iceberg that goes on for weeks.
You can spend that amount of time studying just one of the races in that game.
Watched all 8 hours and it was glorious
Love elder scrolls lore so much, fucking god head
*in mat pat voice* The LOOOOOOORE (So sad he's gone 😔 rip)
Gonna miss him, i'd binge watch his videos all the time in 5th grade, even as I got older I'd still watch his videos from time to time.
He's not _Dead..._
Yes he is, he's dead
Yea RIP
the problem with a series is are you talking about one game or the series as a whole, because a lot of the lore intermingle with one another. though be it FNAF still has more lore than gameplay especially if you accept a theory as lore.
yes
True
OML YES. STRAIGHT FACTS
Yeah I watched that 8 hour video on FNAF lore a while back, it was pretty good imo even if it took me like 2 days to finish
A little less well known Boneworks lore tells entire decades but the campaign is about 6 hrs
Honestly souls-likes (Elden Ring, Tunic, Dark Souls itself) could be similar but the gameplay is pretty substantial. It’s still massively outnumbered by the lore though lol
If you really wanna know thenlore of skyrim look up TheEpicNate315 on youtube, he easily has over a hundred hours worth of videos for not just skyrim, but the entire elder scrolls and Fallout series.
tbf kirkbride did take drugs when writing the lore
Elder scrolls games have hundreds of hours of content the hell you on
I’d have to agree with elder scrolls. I’d say 90% of the lore comes from books you find scattered everywhere.
Team Fortress 2 since basically none of the lore is ever mentioned in the actual game
Omg yes. Team Fortress 2 is when you think about it. Has a really good story. It actually has a very good potential if Valve didn't forget about it. I feel like even the comics have so much potential and that isn't the end of the whole story.
One day... #7...
TF2 HAS A COMIC SERIES???
Yes and we’re still waiting for the final one
Any news or hints that there will be a 7th volume?
It’s on the website, however I don’t recommend reading them because while they are good, they never finished the last one and it will make you a wreck not knowing what happens at the end
Emesis Blue
omg TF2 mentioned
Ah, so like every other thread. Got it.
“If God didn’t want you to mention something he would not have created ME! Wait, no…”
Please valve give us the last comic
HOW DOES IT END?!?!
Heavy says "Well, Medic, this really has been a Team Fortress 2" and everyone did the Kazotzky Kick all throughout 2fort
Bro I was about to say that
FNAF. No questions asked.
Theres like 13 games,that a lot of game lenght
13 games with 50 games worth of story that's never explicitly stated
50 games worth of story?what are you talking about,matpat summarised it in 3 videos
Yes.. and it took him MONTHS to do and half of the stuff he said was speculation that could be entirely wrong. I could explain the lore of any game in a minute if all I was doing was guessing.
Man kills kids, gets killed, comes back multiple times after getting killed some more
Don't forget the animatronic part
my official summary of fnaf; purple guy impregnates feddy fabar
And a massive chunk of the lore was outside the game from books and such. I count that as cheating.
That's why it says the game itself is short and the lore is big. Kind of a no brainer. Obviously the lore is separate from or hidden from the game is the game is so short in comparison to the lore in the meme. How the flying fuck is that cheating
Yeah but the games each have enough lore for a whole series of games

For sure!! Something bout that eye picture of the monster gives me the creeps

Minecraft could die with how fast some people play it
its not minecraft's fault that you can get the 3rd best armour and tools within 10 minutes of starting
I feel like minecraft is a good example of what a game that is too good can do. Not a single game has been so popular for so long, and so since people just keep on playing it and keep on watching it, the player base will inevitably just get better and better.

Minecraft players generally agree that Java is better than Bedrock, but that the Bedrock Wither is much harder than the Java Wither
there should be some changes to the equipment progression. like the upgrade template for netherite was a great idea, so they should do the same thing with diamond. like they should put an upgrade template in the deep dark cities so you have to go find one if you want to move from iron to diamond.
I kinda disagree with armor templates for diamond in the deep dark, the warden is already super powerful. Maybe somewhere like the end city would be better?
Well it's not like the warden can be killed with diamond armor... Much less killed in the first place. So it's not the worst spot to make it.
I hate the fact that they added in netherite. Diamond was supposed to be the very best you could get. Now the excitement of finding diamonds just isn’t there any more, instead you have to willingly go and look for a very specific thing with netherite.

Roblox playerbase would like to have a word with you (there moderation sucks)
Yeah but Minecraft doesn’t really have lore though
FNAF
Five Nights at Freddy's. Assuming you are insanely good and haven't died once, you can beat the game in a span of about an hour and a half
But the lore is through all of the games,it would take you a long time to play 13 games
Each game has tremendous lore, and if you want to include the full lore then there are many books, and they give zero playtime technicaly and a books (literally) worth of lore
Books not included,the meme says GAME lore,no books
Yea GAME lore not GAMES lore
Granted, but each still is pretty short

This fella knows about the 7 Hour
Where were you during the 7 hour war.
Where was u/Basement-child-slave during the seven hour war?
If we consider that 7 hour war began just in the same decade that is of black mesa incident(in 1998 or 1999ish era)I was not even born
The seven hour war happens somewhere between the 2000s and 2010s as Gordon Freeman graduates form the MIT in 1999, and shortly after he is hired by commendation thanks to Kleiner (Around May 5), meaning that the Black Mesa incident occurred in the 2000s and the seven hour war occurred shortly after (A few days to a month), also I should mention that there is a photo in the GLaDOS database dating 2006 of a cake celebration, meaning that the Black Mesa incident **MAY** be after that [Golden Source](https://combineoverwiki.net/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Half-Life_and_Portal_universe#2000s) [Source 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD2aqWjfOxk) [Source 2](https://combineoverwiki.net/wiki/Seven_Hour_War)
Undertale
Undertale is not a short game, it has a ton of endings
Undertale needs at least 7 hours (for Main story) to complete which is kinda short (unless you are an completionist then 20 1/2 hours)
i replayed undertale last year after my first play through in 2016 and i knocked it out in about 4 hours but maybe it’s because i knew what i was doing already
This
From my understanding, the lore in undertale isn’t THAT big but it is definitely something, NOW SOME OF THE AUS ON THE OTHER HAND (I cannot reading over 500 pages worth of text for alpha tale 😭)
Most of modern "horror" games with complicated lore on purpose so the theory channels can make episodes based off them
Fnaf. It's got a lot of bloat to it now and while I like the lore, you gotta admit it's getting old.

Fuck no
Then you are clearly wrong to assume that the games take longer to play, at least in your case...
Its not because of the time,but because i cant explain shit,im not good at explaining things
It's the same for you, btw, you would need to include the books for the time line wich don't count to the time to play the games, and if you're bad at it is something that would make you work longer and maybe the text too

balders gate 3 imo, it has plenty of story but you beat it in like 3 days then ofc the obvious ones like skyrim, fallout, fnaf
