Something I'm noticing/loving in the DE:HR playthrough is how "lived-in" Jensen feels. The various sidequest people all feel like they have pretty authentic histories with Jensen that are communicated through context clues. There's no "Whaaaat? You don't remember me? I am Megan's mother. Megan is your ex."

Am I the only one slightly empathetic to woolie and liam's trailer gripes and don't think of them as being super hypocritical, because I think there is a difference between movie and video games trailers? A movie you watch and nothing else, so trailers that show you most if not all the cool scenes and reveals too much is a thing I can understand people could be bummed out over. A video-game you have to play though. Cool scenes in trailers, the character reveals, mechanics showcases or whatever else is stuff you'll get enjoyment out of in the game even if you are 'spoiled' on knowing about it beforehand. In fact I NEED to be 'spoiled' on such things for games, because I'd like to know and see some of those mechanics, characters and such before buying a game, because it is the usage of those spectacles that is the main enjoyment of video games (and not 'just' seeing it as it is with movies). So trailers, leaks and etc that show me stuff that might give me confidence that I'll have a fun time playing the game I see as being different from movie trailers, so I don't think Woolie or Liam was being particularly weird about it.

Lets plays might be a most extreme example of that sort of thinking. They have been one of the biggest advertisers of games to me, the SBF in particular. They sold me DS2, Revengence, Guacamelee, Odallus, Mirror's Edge, etc. The fact I was 'spoiled' on pretty much everything about those games ahead of time did not matter to me, cause I wanted to play it by myself anyway. Meanwhile I have never been hyped up about a movie from a trailer, beyond the fact it announcing that the movie exists at all.

Not saying that Woolie and Liam are objectively in the 'right' here, just that I myself think I see their point of view and sort of agree with it personally.

the thing they're trying to hide was not only headline news but headline news they specifically talked about before

That's the strongest part of the writing in the game, I feel.

You're in charge of green-lighting Japanese video games. You get a game in front of you which says that video games and the video game industry is as sexy as a mostly naked sixteen year old girl. What's your call?

They just wanna reward Liam for buying so many copies.
It's too bad they didn't reach the part where the game actually does make fun of Konami, since even though this came out before their meltdown they still lambaste them.

There are 13 games.
This isn't 7, it's V 2. But technically the 4th game.

The ladies in charge make everyone put cards in a box and design the game around those.

quote:

Each Neptunia title is packed full of various references, is that a collaborative effort done by the entire staff?

Norihisa: When we start working on new title we put out an idea box so that everyone can submit their ideas or game references.

quote:

How long has the idea box been around?

Norihisa: Since mk2. It doesn’t matter what position you hold, anyone can submit an idea or desire for a new title. It doesn’t matter if it’s something we can do or not, we take a wide variety of ideas even for concrete game elements.

200k people own Neptunia 1 on steam. They also average like 40k after that.

Liam lies a lot, but he's right in that it's way more popular in the West.

The guys mention farming it out to Bioware would be cool and I can see why, but I think what'd you get would be dangerously close to unfunny webcomics like CAD and PA. Like, you'd have to get it really right to not end up with too much cynicism everywhere.
