I'm not even sure if there's a specific game or game series I know a shitload of lore for. I guess the Zelda series. It's a damn mess though

Halo

I am all knowing.

But I've been slacking recently. Way too much content to catch up on.

Elder Scrolls

Though a lot of the lore is self-contradicting, and hard to fully understand.

I tried and my brain hurt.

A lot of it is from a subjective and mythologically interpretive point of view so some things are "real", some things are fake, and some things are merely a different representation of the same thing.

They made it so every culture has their own views and tried to mesh the commonalities amongst them all together.

So true. It's sort of like saying, "I've memorized the transcripts of every session of senate in the last ten years". All that contradictory information.

Not a video game, but I was always fascinated by the lore and storylines in the Yu-gi-oh card game, and there's quite a few of them.

Mortal Kombat is about the best, and DCUO. However I don't do that deep into games. Like I play lot of Skyrim but that lore is just so vast I never really jump into it. I just like being a dude going on small adventures. Hell I have been playing for a while and that dragon on top if the Mountain is still waiting for me to come see him. I just do other stuff , get DLC missions and roam about the world.

Metal Gear Solid and GTA (at least the 3D era)

Although Metal Gear Solid lore is so fucking convoluted I don't even know what the point is since even the most hardcore of fanboys argue over it.

Assassin's Creed

I spent about an hour today taking notes on the War Letters from Rogue >___> There was a ~30 gap between Black Flag (which I finished this morning) and Rogue (which I finished tonight), which the letters actually filled in well.

I've played every single game in the series - even Bloodlines and the shitty DS games - but haven't yet finished Liberation or Syndicate. Was thinking about doing an AMA topic on the lore when I finish them.

Xenogears

Dragon Quest (about 80% of the series)

I used to be knowledgeable in Metal Gear, but my memory of it has faded over time.

Final Fantasy X
Trails series (with the exception of Zero and Ao, and even then I know a bit about them)
Zelda series (at one point I was pretty much caught up with the timeline stuff)
Golden Sun series
Danganronpa series (Hope's Peak Academy arc specifically)
Xenosaga even though I don't understand half of it (knowledge and understanding are two different things)

I was once pretty knowledgable about the Starcraft lore, but it's been awhile since I've played and I never finished Legacy of the Void.

The Zohar (the book itself) has a lot of complicated matters that literally would take a few years to actually understand, and I still don't understand the gibberish yet.

What the game developers did was pretty much a really watered down version of it.

Well, it doesn't help that the entire series is only like, 25% complete, and that's including the spinoffs that never made it outside Japan. A lot of stuff was cut between the games during development too so we could've/probably would've gotten more exposition on things if the saga went as originally planned.

Dark souls
Destiny.
PS1 era Final Fantasy games.

The first 2 are because of lore videos on YouTube and I have played a ton of those games.
I just played a ton of Final Fantasy back in the day.

The trifecta. No one can out nerd me when it comes to those three (at least the first two, there might be some bigger Xeno freaks than me).

I could easily rattle off Kingdom Hearts lore, though I sort of stopped caring around DDD. Zelda too though I've never even begun to take that seriously.

Probably some others, but I don't know offhand.

Xenogears & Xenosaga, and how the developers used the religious text called Zohar into their game world.
