“The first time I played it on the Xbox 360, I was immediately enraptured” I see what you did there. Also, this essay was genuinely fucking incredible. I in particular love the last 10 minutes. This video was put together very well
This concept works so well in bioshock, but honestly, also probably because it was my first introduction to this format of collectible, I truly love the audio logs you can find in the fallout franchise. Fallout oozes world building and environmental storytelling, but damn did I love finding a new holo tape to get a view of the perspective of ordinary people trying to survive the end of the world. Honestly it’s similar to a lot of the points you made about the bioshock audio logs, it’s the best kind of storytelling that forever sticks with you and hits harder than any written story, because you can hear the emotion, you can hear the voice, and just like you said, it reminds you that this world is and was alive, with people in it other than you. It brings the game world alive and captivates you. Great video, I love this topic.
Ah man the Fallout series is so good. I actually haven't played them that much though I played New Vegas a ton and that was a blast. It's been a decade since I played them and I love how they built the world in those games too. I might have to jump back into the series one day! Thanks for watching!
Yeah I'm dyslexic so I definitely know what you mean when you say finding a collectable in a game that's just a wall of text feels like a chore because often if I want to stop to read everything collectable I find as each document gets longer & longer I feel like I'm reading more that I am actually playing the game & I don't know about anyone else but I don't play games to read a book so the audio collections in games like Bioshock & the interview tapes in the Arkham games are a true breathe of fresh air & things I will often seek out on my first play though rather than just getting another text file that I'm prone to ignore because I want to play the game not waste hours of my time reading a book with a gamepad controller in my hands😅
