"sub events"

okay let me

translate this

1, Scenario Bifurcation (Don't have a good example) 2. Part Bifurcation (Don't have a good example) 3. Impact at end (Don't have a good example) 4. There is an end in the middle 5. Sub event (Don't have a good example) 6. Bifurcation at the end (Sekiro I guess) 7. Branching End Bifurcation ( Don't have a good example) 8. Number of flags obtained (Visual Novels usally)

would a way out be an example of 3?

I think that's looking at it

in a different way

It's like

different starting paths, that merge, then can spit at the end

but i guess technically

what about Detroit become human then

anyit doesnt have to have different starting paths

anything that splits at the end

can fint 3

i think detroit is more of a 7

well

it doesnt slit that much

detroit has like

three of one of theses

im not sure what exactly is the difference between 1 and 6

1 is two majorily different stories

6 is the same story throughout

oh

with a major change at the end

like pick a dick mass effect 3

yes

got it

its like

going non lethal

or

kill kill

in some games

while 6 is like

its the end of the game

do you push the big red

kill everyone button

or the big blue

kill yourself button

dan

whats life is strange

i think so

its you either be lesbian or be straight

iirc

the story doesnt really fully change

it has options

but the options dont do anything

idk I like this image, its fun to look at games under this sort of narrative route lens

would hollow knight be 4?

I'd love 7 it wasn't so rare to be done, let alone done well

^

there are no games that actually do 7

I think my answer would probably be 1 or 3 as my preference

I prefer it to be when you can at least be at a point where you understand you’re making a big choice, but not so late in the game that it just feels arbitrary

Do you like when it's flag based, where the sum of your actions cause an outcome, or when you get to overtly choose one or the other

That’s fine but annoying when you’re just shooting in the dark until you find out you locked yourself into an ending without knowing

*cough* Fate S/N *cough*

Okay fag

The game pretty much hinges on unrelated decisions you make at school

Some of the best games I can think of don’t have much in terms of branching paths though, and alt endings are just kind of hidden bonuses

That's how I read option 4 on Max's chart kind of

Rather, I think games like you're describing also fit there

More impactful choices = longer dev time and lower overall quality, I feel

Detroit and heavy rain are not games

I tend to prefer either straight up linear games

or games where the branching is right at the end

i like dwarf fortress

Who plays games with stories that are central enough to the games to warrant those charts

I just want to place down plants
