[SpookyShadow]

Dark Souls also could apply

 

[WeeklyBattles]

SCP Foundatio

 

[Newendigo]

Adventure Time. I still remember the amount of time I spent in this series theories.

 

[Setsuna_tenma]

Elder Scrolls for 1

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Basically any verse with 1-As can qualify for this lol

 

[ChocomilkAlex]

FNAF

 

[ChocomilkAlex]

I'm not even joking

 

[Newendigo]

G.T.F.O with that...

Sorry and no sorry.

 

[Dienomite22]

go ahead and put elder scrolls in the top 3.

 

[ChocomilkAlex]

G.T.F.O with that...

Sorry and no sorry.

Go ahead man summarize the FNAF lore to me.

 

[The_Wright_Way]

Dude, what's with the FNAF hate?

 

[The_Unknown_Warrior1]

If I had to go with something relatively complex, The Elder Scrolls.

If it was something I knew, probably DC not because of complexity but because of how much material there is

 

[Newendigo]

I'm not wasting time into summarizing something that doesn't deserve my time in the first place lmao.

 

[The_Wright_Way]

Hey, New, chill. Just because you don't like FNAF doesn't mean people can't talk about it or suggest it for something like this. There's no need for that kind of reaction.

 

[Sir_Ovens]

FNAF is a game about ghost children who possess animatronic stage performers of a pizzeria because they're angry and vengeful due to being murdered by a purple guy.

The entire franchise is a timeline of events that start and end with a murderer.

 

[Newendigo]

I barely get overheated in any thread, throwing a rant from time to time is not bad at all.

I know my limit.

 

[ChocomilkAlex]

I'd probably be an opponent of FNAF, but you can't deny that the franchise has a lot of complicated lore in it.

 

[Sir_Ovens]

FNAF shouldn't be on this list because there are way more complex franchises to put on here.

Just to name a few,

Dungeons and Dragons

Doctor Who

SCP

Warhammer 40k

Masadaverse

Elder Scrolls

Twin Peaks

Etc.

The age of a verse contributes to it's complexity to an extent. So, FNAF being a relatively young verse doesn't do it any favours. Plus, FNAF is kinda small scale. MGS is more complex than FNAF and it doesn't even reach into eldrich horror territory.

 

[Makkurona]

So... Somebody explain why OP tags Masadaverse? Masadaverse is ez to understand tbh

 

[Makkurona]

And it depends if you are talking about Shinza or Senshinkan. The latter is harder imo

 

[ChocomilkAlex]

Basically any franchise that reaches tier 1 should be on here.

 

[EvilMegaCookie]

I don't really think Shinza would exactly be considered to have complicated lore.

I personally vote for Elder Scrolls to be up top. At the very least in the top three.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

Twin Peaks and Elder Scrolls are the top 2 honestly.

 

[Cropfist]

Nasuverse

 

[Sakamaki_Fuji]

The Elder Scrolls.

 

[Epiccheev]

Kingdom hearts

 

[Newendigo]

El Chapulin Colorado.

 

[Ionliosite]

Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou. Just the read the headache of a terminology it has.

 

[SpookyShadow]

^When you read on wikipedia about universes and dimensions

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou. Just the read the headache of a terminology it has.

It's not that complicated.

 

[Ultima_Reality]

VSBW for Top 1.

 

[InfiniteSped]

Ergenverse gets pretty complicated.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

Real Life for No. 1. Albeit mostly because the majority of people on VBW aren't familiar with this series.

 

[Ultima_Reality]

Real Life for No. 1. Albeit mostly because the majority of people on VBW aren't familiar with this series.

Yes.

 

[Newendigo]

Funny no one mentioned Cthulhu Mythos.

I assume then that is actually a pretty chill, easy going verse with it's lore.

 

[Wokistan]

Real life unironically tbh. It's not like people dedicate their entire careers to studying most of these other verses, and all these verses exist so they count anyways.

Besides that, SCP is huge and obnoxious so that works

 

[Wokistan]

Lovecraft's own stuff isn't that bad, though it is numerous. Throwing in things other people wrote however...
