I've been replaying Sniper Elite 2 and while inspired by this game, my bitch is aimed at 3rd person shooters as a whole: having the camera situated over one shoulder without an option to switch it is awful. SE II doubles down on this by having both characters in coop with an over-the-right shoulder camera, which means Player 1 and 2 get to jockey for position in the one tiny piece of cover. It's also annoying for stealth sections.

After playing Resident Evil 6, all the cameras in all the 3rd person shooters are irritating. :(

Accept my gift you whore. :argh:

I'm not convinced this game is anything then one gigantic troll with tits. The girls have a set chance to reject gifts, even if you do anything right cause gently caress you (though if you wanna throw some cash our way you can buy premium gift wrap which has a 100% success rate!). Wrapping the exclusive swimsuits cost a lot of owner cash, and if a girl rejects the gift you get to spend the money to wrap it up and try again. There is difficulty scaling, so if you don't want every minigame to be a pain the rear end you need to intentionally throw games to get it to scale back down. There is a money cap so you can't hoard money. Even partnering is a pain in the rear end if you don't take whoever offers to join you at the start, even with 3 notes they still reject.

It clearly wants you to spend real money.

I wonder if that's true. I was out off from Dark Souls for a long time because of its reputation until I finally caved and started with Bloodborne, which turned out to be great.

Nioh looks to be far more difficult than that, and BB was about at my limit for difficulty. I just wonder if I'm missing out on a good game or if it actually is the unpleasantly hard experience I thought DS was going to be.

Since I grabbed it it went from ~70 USD to 140 USD, its only gonna get more pricey as printed copies sell out. Till then I'll enjoy smacking anime babes in the face with volleyballs and then sell it when it hits 200 USD for a used copy.

Unless they do that thing every other game I own on PS4 does and ends up on steam. Also if this freaks people out for your own good don't read the steam thread, goons talking unironically about Huniepop might cause some mental trauma.

It's not even so much the T&A that skeeves me out about Haydee, it's that they literally objectified the protagonist. Literally. She IS an object. She has all the sexual bits, but no face or anything else that would make her a person.

Just... ughhh, makes me cringe.

I think the defining moment is still when he tried to shotgun fight The End. But him nearly breaking down in tears over the dark souls 2 miracle nerf was good too.

Anyway, for actual content;
I started playing Atelier Sophie because that got a PC release and one of the early things wants you to make some cookies "Salty" and the game does a very poor job explaining how to do that. I'm a good few hours past where I unlocked that and now can finally go back and do it because someone I know who played the game already told me how. If not for that I'd probably wind up like, halfway through the game and still have not finished this level two item.

I haven't played it but it's possible that was intentional to make a point or something. Isn't the main character supposed to be some kind of rogue sexbot?

If you haven't yet, you really should check out some of DSP's other non-Let's Play stuff. He is hilariously inept and weird. Here's a recent review of Cup Noodles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-V-f9inLoo (skip to 17m 43s if you for some reason don't want to sit through the whole thing)

So are y'all like pretending that you didn't see anything about Haydee and just bought the game sight unseen and are now shocked by the level of sexualisation going on in it

Because you literally cannot google 'Haydee' without seeing roboboobs and roboass

Stop complaining about the sexualisation in your game about roboboobs and roboass which you bought specifically for the roboboobs and roboass because I guaran-fuckin'-tee that none of y'all bought it for the deep and engaging gameplay

It doesn't matter what the justification is she's literally sexualisation.ma and these fuckers are pretending they didn't know that going in

Is Haydee actually good enough you'd play it for a reason other than T&A? It doesn't look very good.

Considering who they're marketing to, it doesn't have to be. The game could randomly just flip the screen upside down- even when you're not playing it!- and people who it's courting would still be playing it regardless.

Something similar also happened with the boardgame Kingdom Death. Reportedly (I haven't played it) it's mechanically very sound and quite fun. But the developers have decided to tune the whole aesthetic and marketing towards terrible cringeworthy softcore porn. Have fun suggesting playing or buying this thing to anybody when all the Google image search results look more or less like this: :nws:https://i.imgur.com/4cmDpTB.jpg:nws:
