Video Game Tuesday: Story vs Lore

Game Industry News

Hey all I’m back with a look at a topic I should really cover for this week’s Video Game Tuesday. It’s all about Story vs Lore! Story? Lore? What’s the Difference?: Recently I saw something that really crystallized my feelings on why I had such issues with Destiny and it’s various updates prior to Forsaken. When I say Story I’m talking about the “story” told in-game experienced by the average person who just loads up the game and plays through the campaign and maybe the raid if they got lucky.

New author website – jaybarnson.com

Rampant Games

Yes, things have been quiet here. Due to hosting issues, and the fact that the writing thing has been taking off, and the day-job shifted into overdrive a while back that was nearly as bad as the games industry.

You only get 3 actions per turn by default, though some cards and characters can occasionally give extra actions.
