:laffo: at that thread title, thank you Grapplejack!

I'm relaxing tonight by watching some really old-school anime Exkaiser, with plans to return to Bangkok for some Hitmanning in a bit~

Just curious if you don't mind me asking, what time zone are you in? I ask because I don't have a normal sleep schedule and it seems like I always see you around here past midnight my time (PDT).

Platinum's style feels like it borrows a lot from 2d fighting games. The technicality of trying to dodge perfectly and remembering how different directions and sequences of buttons affects combo progression isn't something I enjoy. A lot of their games give you a ranking after each combat portion, and my rank is almost always guaranteed to be poo poo because I didn't manage to avoid getting hit ever while also taking every advantage to destroy enemies as quickly as possible. Trying to play through and game and having it pop up with a ranking reminding me how bad I am is thoroughly discouraging.

I think the only games I've played by Treasure are Gunstar Heroes and Mischief Makers. Neither of those seem very similar to Platinum games to me.

No need to be willfully dense. They may not be the same mechanically, but they have a similar approach, as they have identifiable gameplay staples that give their titles a specific feel. They're also fans of their own games, and it shows.

I'm glad to hear that Automata isn't too Platinum-y though, as one of the outliers who both loves Nier and doesn't like Platinum combat, I was kind of worried about whether I'd like it. I still haven't picked it up yet because it's still full price and I have lots of other games still to play though.

Where do you live? When I was looking on Amazon I was able to find someone selling Automata for only $20 USD, though you had to pay like four extra bucks for shipping.

USA (CA), but I don't have a PS4. I don't know if physical PC copies are still a thing but I'd rather own it through Steam anyway.

I'm pretty against "transliteration", because everything ends up sounding super awkward and unnatural. It's pretty common to see fan translations err on the side of "accuracy" and make fan translations where everyone sounds like a robot that only kind of understands english.

That's exactly what people are criticizing the official translation for.

I started lurking SA exclusively for lps around '07-'08. Checking the LParchive, Pokecapn's Sonic 06 lp started in 08, and that was definitely in progress when I found SA. I think that was also around the time the Freelance Astronauts were playing... Oblivion, maybe? I didn't bother to join the forums because I didn't want to pay and I didn't really have anything to say. I still don't, really. It was kind of annoying whenever the paywall came up, but as long as I knew where to find my favorite lper's Google Videos (lol) or Viddler (double lol) videos, I was alright.

Also, I spent so long with the word filter that my mind automatically parses 'lovely' as a bad thing, which makes some things pretty funny to read

I wouldn't think it would void the warranty since you don't have to open the 3DS. Anyway, I did it. It made the stick slightly less of a pain to use in MonHun for me but it's not a game changer.

I tried to do it for this reason but after like a month of not shipping my order I cancelled it and gave up. I barely play MHGen any more anyway.
