It looks like a low budget anime game, which it is. No mystery there imo

I know which is the weirdest thing, I for the life of me thought it was going to be a switch title from what I've seen, it has the same graphics as SMTV.

Right, I see what you're saying now, I thought you meant it was designed as a Switch game. It does feel like an alternate universe when Switch is ignored but Xbox isn't. Hell, maybe there's a big pop off later in the game that the Switch just wouldn't have been able to handle, though I doubt it.

Maybe the budget was too low for them to scrunch it down enough to make a Switch version. Who knows

It's made in Unity which is notoriously difficult to get working/unsupported on Switch, or at least it was not sure if it still is.

Cool Jacket and poo poo eating grin
Watches other people die instead of dying himself
Hangs out with cool hackers and shamans
Has 2 girlfriends sharing one body
Beats up Bill Gates
Saves his sister from an evil Dolphin
Probably like 6'2"

Dies like a punk
Stupid Haircut
Looks like Adam Sandler let him pick out his own outfit
Let's his adoptive sister die
Hangs out with the most obnoxious motherfuckers on the planet
Stupid enough to free gods that both LAW and CHAOS wanted sealed

I think the actual joke is that she immediately introduces herself as an agent of Aion every time she meets someone.

Stux posted:

I like her for not being a silent protagonist (thank god), but I think her name ("Apple") actually comes from being the fruit of the tree of knowledge (Aion).

So's Nocturne HD (with a 400mb binary blob read by IL2CPP because what the gently caress), it was probably a small budget team and PC/PSx/Xboxx are all basically the same and can just work with no real changes to the codebase while Switch needs more optimization work and possibly ARM code I guess.

Figue is also pretty on the nose as a biblical fruit, what with that time Jesus saw a fig tree while hungry but it wasn't the season for figs, so he got so mad he cursed the tree to never bear fruit ever again.

The tree had leaves and was thereby indicating it had fruit. When it did not have fruit, Jesus felt the tree was basically lying and thereby cursed it.

In other words, Jesus really detests false advertising. If He were around today, chances are 90% of marketers would be having a very bad time.

The character work in Soul Hackers 2 is pretty good. Everyone's got their own thing going on instead of just being hangers on. The combat is still far far too slow and hanging out in the Matrix is nearly unbearable
