i want to achieve immortality through not dying
A bunch of videos uploaded to youtube within the past few hours seem to have that problem and they're looking into it

EDIT: affected videos usually work at their highest quality, seems like their reencoder is putting out bad files

I am really, really surprised Taro wasn't in there.

More games should say immersion schmimmersion and let you fight the creators. Would definitely put life back into Skyrim if you could face down Todduin the Franchise-Stagnator.

Considering how humble he seems to be about his work, I wouldn't be surprised if it was Platinium's initial idea to include him as the DLC boss, but he refused.

So they settled for the next best thing.

I have a solid guess as to which rear end in a top hat you mean. I spent like 2 solid hours getting that piece of poo poo to spawn. And about 3 hours for the two OTHER assholes in the flooded city.

If I ever meet the programmer who set those encounter rates, let's just say their genitals will become as gods.

Anyway, guess there isn't much to say about the CEO fight besides DRAKENGARD NIER!

Having done the same sidequest, I don't. My rear end in a top hat never-spawn was in the forest.

I wonder if the CEO boss fight was already in the works when they wrote that line.

Late, but watching the video from the end of the Plato segment made it really clear that the re girls were being super dicks there. If they wanted to keep the machines from developing aberrant emotions they would have just used a grinder or incinerator at the end of a conveyor, instead they force a machine to put the time and effort into strapping dolls into drills, decapitation buzz saws and chaining them up to be shot, among others. Way to make your stubbies engage with the dolls while not even destroying them properly, assholes.

I know you're partly joking but it always kind of bugged me how thinly the red girls were characterized. It's a throwaway line in their boss fight but they're all about applying "evolutionary pressure," exposing the machines to extreme and often contradictory stimuli to see how they adapt and react. That's probably the only reason they suffered Pascal's village for as long as they did. If not for that one bit of dialogue they'd just be a couple of capricious shitheads for no real reason.

They're not trying to prevent future freakouts, they're trying to make it happen again so they can study the phenomenon. So they're replicating the original stimulus, on a large scale, and watching closely.

I couldn't dodge the CEO heads for 30 seconds at the end.

The receptionist lady had the same dialogue and rewards, though, so I thought up to now they just kept spamming that infinitely and it was intentionally unwinnable.

It's almost disappointing to know it wasn't. :v:

Zerilan posted:

The first one is just Matsuda introducing himself.

"Shachou desu" (I'm the President/CEO)
"Matsuda desu" (I'm Matsuda)
"Yosuke desu" (I'm Yosuke)

"Desu" is a word denoting that the preceding sentence is declarative, conjugated formally ("da" would be the informal form, though if it's obvious that it's declarative, informal statements will often drop it entirely as understood), if you were wondering why it shows up so much.

The duet version includes similar introduction lines for Kenichi Sato to go with Matsuda's, but at the start of the song, they introduce their respective companies, which can be hard to tell given that saying otherwise-English words using Japanese phonemes will always sound weird (this actually goes both ways, apparently, as an old Japanese teacher of mine advised the class to ask for brand names like McDonald's using Japanese pronunciation, or else some people just wouldn't understand them), listen closely and you should be able to hear it. They say something else mid-way through I couldn't quite make out, and both feature some generic battle exclamations like "Sore!" (pronounced "so-ray"). Hopefully that's everything, pretty sure those were the only voice clips used.

Yoko Taro's Wild Ride never fails to satisfy in weird ways. I'm honestly surprised he only stopped at the CEOs of Square-Enix and Platinum. He could have gone even further and involved the CEOs of the respective game platforms on this, or even other tech giants. Like, imagine a Birth of a Wish remix adapted to fit Steve Ballmer, for instance.

Heck, just ask every tech CEO for a head scan and one sentence, bam, endless $2.00 DLCs.

I couldn't find Birth of a Wish (DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS*), sorry (which is so hosed up because it's right there), but I did find this, which is pretty much obligatory for any high-profile property where the soundtrack gets any amount of buzz.

*For those too young to remember what I'm referring to. And yes, of course there's a musical remix, which includes a different freaky stage performance he put on.
