This game is really loving good and I'm kind of sad that it came out at the same time as breath of the wild, which in my estimation might actually be the best game ever made.

Also, Id, I think your video link is broken. It's redirecting to https://www.youtube.com/my_videos?o=U which I think is because you're not linking directly to the video, but to something involving video editing (I don't make youtube videos, so I have no idea.) Might just be me, but I'm alerting you just in case.

Basically, don't look anywhere but this thread.

Though if the trend holds, Id will have to lock this thing like 20 times due to either stupid fights, weird idolization of the guy, untagged spoilers, or general annoyance at how loving stupid goons are

Does obsessive and pedantic annotation of all of the OPs typos happen in every thread in this forum?

Id's threads attract a special type of idiot, though I think he's actually fine with grammar corrections.

For example, I recall multiple people essentially writing fanfiction combining various games Id has played in the Drakengard 3 thread.

You remember wrong. There were just a few pages where people recycled all the old memes he creates in his RE LP's and so on.

It's weird but kind of understandable since he's like the OG screenshot LP'er and there's a lot of nostalgia built up about his stuff (because his RE4 LP was over 10 years ago and we're OOOOOLLLLLLLD)

I'm pretty sure there was was a whole lot of stuff about how Caim would react to X or Y, but whatever, I might be mixing things up with a different LPer with a minor cult.

E: oh wait I think it was SGF

I really dont understand spoilers, I've never once heard any detail about a story and gone "gently caress now its ruined" I go "That sounds amazing, I have to see this for myself." or "Oh, thats a shame, I wouldnt enjoy that.". Seeing people rage and quit stuff over incomplete knowledge that doesnt have any meaning unless they experience it themselves in some way is really the most baffling behavior there is to me. But people are different, so I've been doing my best to be considerate of them. It's apparently not working though, since I have no clue what I said since I havnt mentioned anything about the story though.

Here's an easy way to not spoil things, whether or not you understand the idea of people enjoying being surprised: Don't Post.

Has Id talked about it (whether "it" is a plot point, a character, a mission, an item, a mechanic, a piece of backstory, etc.) yet? If so, feel free to chat about it. If not, just...don't post about it.

I think I kinda under-appreciated the desert after experiencing breath of the wild's, which, much like basically everything in that game, was the best executed desert I've ever seen in a video game.

The robots speaking was unsettling as hell though, so automata had that going for it.

In the fight. 2B loses it when she gets knocked back from that one cutscene blast, Id mentioned it. Presumably 9S had the same happen.

Warning for kind of off-topic :spergin: but I've seen it a couple of times in this thread too: I groan internally whenever someone calls 2B "gothic Lolita".
Honestly, nothing about her outfit is in any shape or form Lolita. The silhouette could get close to a Lolita silhouette if you squinted hard but that's about it. It's a fashion all about girls' modesty, and having a waist-high skirt slit deffo doesn't fit in that ruleset.

There's plenty more to discuss about that but I'll spare the thread.


Instead I'll be sad since I just remembered a friend laughing all the way through the end credits because "the lyrics are so dumb how can you even take this serious".

Your friend isn't exactly wrong, the lyrics echo a billion bad translations where "sounding normal to english speakers" takes a backseat to translating as literally as possible
