Nier A is literally watching some dude's hand crafted fuckdoll run around. e: I don't care to start an argument about this (probably again) but 2b and Quiet are literally some guy's fantasy sexy time and you can see it in everything about them.

Kilometers Davis posted:I still can’t decide if D2 is worth jumping back into for me. I loved playing through the main story and the sandbox stuff but as someone who only plays solo there’s a clear wall that always shows up unfortunately. I don’t hate on it like a lot of folks though. The gameplay feels great and the loot hooks are addicting as always. At least while it lasts. They've done an okay job with fixing it so far. There's some  stuff going on (like 6v6 being tied to Iron Banner and none of the two new PVP Season rankings they introduced connected to 6v6) but it's not as bad. If "Comet" or whatever the Year 2 Expansion is called isn't a major step up then I'll probably just call it a day.KICK BAMA KICK posted:Forgot I had this downloaded, what areas/stuff does it have?

Kilometers Davis posted:What are you guys playing this weekend/planning on starting soon? Kiwami, Sims 4, Hatsune Miku. Gotta get back on GOW and HZD, but will do that after Yakuza I think. I’m mostly mainlining plot in Kiwami right now, but when I need a break Sims 4 and Hatsune Miku work in a pinch. I gotta say, the PS4 port of Sims 4 is actually really good and stable. My wife is a huge fan of the series (last gen she bought literally every expansion pack and DLC for Sims 3) but she fell off Sims 4 really hard. It was on sale on PSN a few weeks ago so we both ended up picking it back up again. She’s playing on PC. Graphics wise there is very little difference between PS4 and PC, but my game never crashes whereas she experiences crashes at least once every other playthrough. I thought playing it with a controller would suck, but I got used to it pretty quickly. The PC version obviously has more gameplay features, but the PS4 version is really good.

Sometimes characters (read almost every loving time) are just designed to be appealing to the key demographic. Western games are just as guilty as Japanese Doesnt make the games less meaningful imo.

WaltherFeng posted:Sometimes characters (read almost every loving time) are just designed to be appealing to the key demographic. Western games are just as guilty as Japanese To my mind 2b undermines whatever it is the game was trying to say with a character created as personal j/o material. Like I said my GF would have loved playing the game as she'd already expressed liking the environment and the themes I filled her in on, but then she just says gently caress playing as that protagonist. Unincredibly she likes Life is Strange (loving UGH) and Uncharted LL a lot, which is because of female leads for sure, but it also makes me ask why does 2b exist the way she does? It's not for anyone to more easily identify with and it doesn't serve anything outside of the creator professing he likes rear end. It's fine for people to look past that, enjoy rear end, enjoy Japan or whatever else it is being advocated, but I can't understand moving to pillory people who say the design of 2b is weird and it damages the experience for large numbers of players. It reads very much like "n... n... no you see she's actually a re-purposed fucktoy that's why she looks like that. She's not even a she, it's a robot! No this is nothing like the ten thousand year old demon that looks like a nine year old." I will also say very clearly I know that's not what you're saying and you're speaking more broadly, but the tone of a few posts has been along these lines. Neddy Seagoon posted:So what are you actually getting out of ME: Andromeda, out of curiosity?

I keep facing down the temptation to try it thinking "well if it's boring it just means it more of the same" but I know that isn't going to be the case and I'm going to be disappointed in myself after a couple of hours.

I thought i'd be able to muscle through andromeda as i got it late and for cheap, but it's just so boring. The first RPG i've ever played where i've started skipping through dialogue, a lot of internal 'oh who gives a poo poo' moments with myself when people were trying to justify what was happening. Also a cast of apparently highly trained professional scientists who in no way behave anything like people who are in their position should be behaving. Nothing that happens even came close to selling me on the setting and positions of everyone involved. It's weird because a lot of love and care did go into it by some teams - the art side on the planets, exploring, combat is very fined honed, some moments are incredible - but all the incidental dialogue and world building is staggeringly amateurish. The hatred leveled on it on release was a bit much, but it was essentially mass effect 4 by bioware, and it's single worst failing is the one thing bioware were supposed to be the best at. And 3 pages ago someone posted a tweet where someone who finished god of war took a break from games, and this was deemed weird. I do that all the time. If there's a game i'm super into and play from start to finish without anything else, I take a break from games for a couple of weeks after the story concludes. After such a long and all encompassing experience it's weird to just dive straight into the next experience. I feel like it cheapens my appreciation - I'm not going to put it on a pedestal, but diving straight into the next looking for more after an extremely satisfying bit of 'entertainment' makes me feel uncomfortable. I do the same with other things too - after a good book I dont jump straight into another, after binging a tv season I dont get straight into a different show. Even with other pursuits after I finish a song I take a break from making music for a bit. it's pretty healthy. Got to give experiences time to settle.

It went a bit far, but 2b is supposed to be alluring to 9s - to the point where 9s develops an obsession. the 'age gap' reinforces this alongside her clothing design too, he's very much played as an adolescent who looks up to her and his change through the game relies on that. I am not at all defending being able to blow her clothes off, but to answer your question directly there is a pretty clear reason why she has a whole skimpy attire 19yr old thing going on alongside his 16yr old boy character. I'd defend this over quiet in mgs5, the decision to have her dress the way she did didnt impact the story in any way whatsoever, whereas this is at least thematically consistent and helps to reinforce the plot rather than undermine it. yoko taro and kojima are both perverts, but at least one managed to make it work in the story and at no point is looking up her skirt or blowing the clothes off mandatory. cubicle gangster fucked around with this message at 08:33 on May 13, 2018 |

Well for one trying to explain Japanese character designs beyond "Japanese like sexy/cute/eccentric/slender looking characters" seems futile. To Nier Automata's credit the character designs have practically nothing to do with the characters themselves so if you can look past appearances theres some really good character drama and stuff

Fair enough. I have not been a teen for a long time, so none of this struck a chord with me and I barely remember anything of their interactions outside of him being a dedicated puppy dog. Still makes the character a cardboard cutout j/o pic, but idk... at least Taro tried? Although I'm not sure what dressing a sex toy up for a teen boy to fuss over is trying to do if I'm completely honest. JBP fucked around with this message at 08:40 on May 13, 2018 |

That's it. He's stated as much openly when directly asked about her design. Quiet, on the other hand, was Kojima trying to wank about how important her being near-naked is important to the plot and   .

Have you ever read an interview with him before? Even slightly familiar with how he talk abouts his games stories, intentionally undermines them and pretends they are much more simple than they are? I agree the clothing choices went a bit far but to say that the character could have been totally different is very clearly not true - the adolesent pining for the slightly older 'sexy' woman is a fundamental and integral part of the story the game tells. cubicle gangster fucked around with this message at 08:50 on May 13, 2018 |

This is the same game where the real ending has you play an arcade shoot em up against every name in the end credits - the only way to really finish is by destroying the creators, at which point you can sacrifice yourself by deleting your save where you'll appear as an entitity to aid someone during the same sequence . it's all very tightly connected too - 3/4 through I was genuinly worried the ideas thrown out would just be a lot of random things but they all come together in a pretty neat little package by the time it wraps up.
