Rise of the Tomb Raider Wins Writing Award, Beating Witcher 3 and Others

@donedoof: no doubt, I mean rotr did some things right but the writing was not one if them. Especially when compared to w3 or pillars.

@jonexotic: what did you just say?

@NTM23: Not cringing at something, and it being award material are just two completely different things.

@NTM23: What? The acting is laughably bad, with only Lara herself being average at best.

@gengisgame: Is this an award for story? It says "writing", which isn't just about the story.

@gengisgame: Its because omg strong wominz lead role actor with decrease in boob size take that MALE PATRIARCHY!!!

@Salt_AU: "I haven't played Tomb Raider as yet, being a PS4 owner, but I am glad it won."

Flawless logic. You were right about one thing though, the Bloody Baron questline was better than anything in Tomb Raider, not every part of the story was perfect, but it was miles better than Tomb Raider lol.

@Salt_AU:

Horse shit. The Witcher series has been the best thing to happen to fantasy in years. I will concede the main story gets weak in the last part - the previous Witcher games have stronger main narratives - but compared to anything else in the genre, it's fucking Shakespeare. And where it shines, it does it better than anything else. I don't know of any other game that tackled the plight of ordinary people caught up in the midst of war like Witcher 3 has.

@Salt_AU: Well, I can agree with you that the main story wasn't the best in TW3, but this is award for Writing in videogames in 2015.. not just for the main story - TW3 has one of the best, if not the best side missions in RPG history ... not for gameplay,because of the dialogs scenes, because of the human stories every one NPC has to offer, the interactions between characters, great world building, etc.. and the story mission has great moments too - scenes between Geralt and Vesemir, between Geralt and Yen or Triss and most importatnly great emontional scenes with Ciri + Ciri alone is a fantastic character + battle at Kear Morhen and what follows right after that + I think it's refreshing that a story in a fantasy RPG isn't about saving the world by the main hero/character controlled by the player (miles better than the somewhat similar story in DA2), the main story of TW3 is the story about relantionship between a father and a daughter and I think they made fantastic job at this..

The main problems in the main story are just that there are too many moments of : Geralt goes to some place where Ciri could have been but he has missed here just by a inch, so the searching for Ciri continues, etc. + the main antagonists in the story are not enough flesh out in TW3 - they were pretty good in TW1+TW2.. but apart from this problems, the main story in made by details and there are a ton of great little details that make even the main story really good

Plus when you mix it with all the side missions, where there are more great moments, not just Blood Baron - in fact, I liked many side quests (and some monster hunts) more than his story

I think TW3 deserves in my opinion this award more than TR - Pillars of Eternity deserves this award too much more than TR

@Moonco: We have mods for that kind of thing.
