I feel out of the loop because I never watch these youtuber dark souls lore analysis video , might have to watch it later for the lol

 

[Melfice7]

people mentioning dark souls, is this some sort of inside joke? because the story is non existent

most souls stories already happened, the players live in the aftermath of it, theres tons of lore

my vote is drakengard/nier world

Legacy of Kain series is up there.

It's also fantastic.

 

[Boo Who?]

Metal Gear.....which is kind of becoming real world lore.

Pac-man

I also vote for Kingdom Hearts because someone once tried to explain the overall plot to me, and it genuinely sounded like he was on acid. Elder Scrolls (especially Morrowind) also has some crazy shit, especially with stuff that Michael Kirkbride adds to the story later on (he was also a writer on Morrowind). E.g., stuff like Vivec knowing that the Nerevarine (the player) can save and load his game (or at least is aware that the Nerevarine is able to tap into the meta structure of "reality"), which obviously makes any confrontation pointless on multiple levels. But I think the Elder Scrolls community has shifted to rejecting this stuff because Bethesda chose to not dive deeper into these concepts, which is a shame, imho.

Games with deep/crazy lore also tend to have some of the most obnoxious communities because of it.
Cod zombies had some of the deepest/craziest lore out there, with an incredibly annoying community to go with it.

It got to a point where it got so convoluted and obscure, treyarch just hit the reset button and deleted it all so they could start fresh in 2020.
But of course the annoying loreheads jump through many hoops to connect every small vague little thing to the old lore.

Warhammer judging from the lenght of video trying to explain the lore.
