D3 was a letdown, even with Id's commentary. The jokey tone it maintained undermined a lot of the things that made D1 so fun to read through, and the plot twists weren't so bizarre as they were dumb and/or obvious. Nier had a great story, with one of the best scripts and strangest casts I'd ever seen -- it's the Planescape: Torment of JRPGs. Drakengard 3 is just a bunch of ironic-but-not-really anime stereotypes pasted together with the glue rendered down from a thoroughly beaten dead horse. It felt like Taro Yoko was trying to live up to his hype instead of doing what he wanted and became a self-parody instead. D3 was a good LP, but only because Id's probably the best LPer around. Nier 2: Automata looks pretty good so far, and I've always wanted to see an open-world game with Reveangance-style combat, so this is promising. I wish they'd stop with the silver-haired sword ladies though, because Kainé is a perfect creature and they will never, ever recapture that beautiful ball of hermaphroditic rage ever again. I also wish Yoko would quit being so on-the-nose with the "time is a flat circle" concept because it's keeping us from getting another protagonist as fun as Caim.

As much as I love seeing Nier and its associated games being LP'd, the way you LP'd crappy games and added your own beautiful touches and custom dialogue in the past was magical. Vincent making an extended Sonic the Hedgehog metaphor about making GBS threads himself still makes me giggle like a child.

I'm really, really hoping Adam and Steve aren't the true antagonists, because I've had it up to here with prettyboys with gray hair and leather clothing from Squaresoft. I love Taro Yoko's work, and Nier is one of my favorite games of all time, but holy god almighty can we please stop cloning Sephiroth.

necroid posted:I'm re-reading those novels right now and I'm still amazed at how well they hold today, considering they were written in the mid-late FIFTIES. Asimov's robots can be both superhuman and childlike in their interactions which is what makes them so believable as not-yet-human machines. The only drawback is that Asimov writes human characters the same way. Dude's great at concepts, not so great at characterization.

Reading Asimov's sex scenes is enough to make one wonder if the man was, in fact, a robot trying to simulate humanity. Thankfully he never learned of tight leather pants and tribal tats.

Yoko Taro is basically pushing to see how far he can go. I imagine he just busts into the president's office with a bottle of booze in one hand, Emil mask on his head, and he screams "THIS poo poo NEEDS A STAGE SHOW!" Note that I didn't say the president of Square-Enix. He just finds random presidents. He was at the White House the other day, and Yoko Taro left with a bunch of classified information about Israel and an idea for a mobile phone game about nuclear war and magical girls.

The way the faces are animated in this game is slightly disconcerting, and Adam's goofy-rear end expression is just plain ridiculous. It's as if the game is telling you, "This guy is a creepy chump, stomp a mudehole in his rear end and walk it dry."
