PMush Perfect posted:There's also a reason that everyone else fled from the Escapist and their lovely culture and business practices. I can only imagine how much they must be paying him to disregard all that and stay the only thing holding their burning wreck of a site up. What did happen to the Escapist? This is more out of curiosity then anything else as I only ever go to the side for Zero Punctuation.

This intro is very good at doing one thing. Making you want to strap Kamoshida to the back of a car and drive until there is nothing left of the bastard.GoneRampant posted:For anyone who seriously wants to claim 'this game has a bad localisation,' I'd direct them to this scene. Kamoshida's scumbaggery is just done so masterfully here; he's legitimately detestable, both in and out of character. In fact, he's a little too good- this may be a spoiler, but none of the villains really hit as many highs as Kamoshida. There are definitely worse issues for a game to have then the intro is just too good. Hunt11 fucked around with this message at 21:28 on May 1, 2017 |

Having had some irl experience with what happened this update, when I reached this point in the game I was stunned. I could not and still can not remember a game making me feel this emotionally connected to what was going on as at this point I had come to loathe the bastard enought that I would have been perfectly all right with Joker just carving in his loving skull.

GeneX posted:Oh, it's not unjustified in the story. That doesn't change the fact that the game just said "Kamoshida is wrong for sexualizing Ann" and then puts Ann in a specialty-store dominatrix outfit. That was a deliberate design choice, and in-story justifications don't cover what the art team decided over lunch. They could have handled it better, but there are some great moments in the story when they mess around with it. Also I think the reason they chose the aesthetic, or at least the explanation that I have heard that makes sense, is that it represents a more playful type of thief archetype which does fit with her character.

Strange Matter posted:Ann confronting Kamoshida was pretty great right there. Man the voice acting in this game is actually stellar. What I like the most about that scene is that Ann saves herself. Instead of having the party come in and save the helpless girl the party show that despite everything trying to crush her that she still has people who will support her and then they challenge Ann to prove that Kamoshida is full of poo poo herself.

Kemix posted:There's a bit of free DLC as well, one gives you a few items, one of those items is a full party heal. It also sells for 50k if you REALLY need the money. It gives you some healing items that are useful at the start of the game, and a soma which sells for a lot which is either the most crucial item for the early game or you will completely forget about having it until you reach the last couple bosses.

They really do a good job with Sojiro. At first he just seems to be another reminder that society hates you but as you dig into the game you start to see just how good a person he actually is. Also I never even saw some of the scenes in this update so I am looking forward to seeing what else I missed in this game.

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:Jesus Christ can you go one thread without popping in after two updates and screaming "LOOK LOOK I KNOW ABOUT THE ENDGAME!!!!!!!" Considering her mask has cat ears on it, the tail is part of her cat bugler aesthetic. Honestly I never really worry about speed as for the most part Joker does the heavy lifting and if need-be can just sub her in with baton pass. Beyond this she does have some decent utility so even if you run up against an enemy who is immune to fire she can still contribute.

A couple hints on what is more efficient and social stat roadblocks and you can easily see almost everything you would have any interest in seeing/doing.

Ann is a very coinflip character. There are some aspects of her role as a character that are mishandled badly, whilst their are other parts that are done extremely well.

GeneX posted:Don't want to get into spoilers, but her role in the story thus far is as a prop for Ann (or the narrative) to drag out whenver the game thinks things are too lighthearted or positive, instead of her being an actual character. I personally disagree with you. The suicide attempt is the catalyst for everything as without it the phantom thieves would not have challenged Kamoshida like they did.

GeneX posted:And the game could quite easily have done that without turning a suicide attempt into a plot point. Maybe Ryuji and the Protagonist get incensed on behalf of the team members he's physically abusing and he retaliates by trying to expel them. Maybe they get mad on Ann's behalf. What are you talking about? Talking as someone with personal experience with that type of poo poo I think the game did a decent job of handling it. From a story perspective though something horrifyingly dramatic had to happen to get the game moving. Ryuji as a decent human being felt worried about a plan that could mentally lobotomize someone and Ann had managed to just about figure a way to not give up too much to Kamoshida. Both of those are horrible situations but the characters had figured out how to not completely break from everything. Kamoshida would need to commit some new atrocity to force the characters into action and abusing Shiho to the point of attempting suicide is horrible, the only other ways he could make such a reckless plan seem justified would have been even wrose.

Montegoraon posted:Mishima is kind of a dork and kind of a loser. He has faults that do not fall on the list of sexy, attractive faults that make people gush over you. But to me, the level of hatred that a very few people show for him is a clear indication that those people are bad. That will be a subject of much discussion when the full extent of that character is revealed. I would say more but I fear that would go into spoiler territory.

In regards to guts not really. You need rank two guts to start digging into Takami. More importantly the game doesn't really expect you to pour so much focus into guts as the game expects you to be in the last third of the game to actually start the link. Honestly that is one of the things I would change about the game in a remake would be to have the gun event only trigger in September.

The fact that his distortion is major enough to earn a palace is a sign that there is something really hosed up in the way Madarame views the world. Add in his cultural status and he makes a pretty good first target that isn't out of pure survival instinct.

Kevos Setzer posted:They probably should have come out and told him, at least told him Ann's history with Kamoshida. As an artist surrounding himself in his art, it's possible he's been isolated enough not to hear about the scandal, and even if he did there's no reason for him to think these brats were in the middle of it. He might not care though as he is already starting to break due to what Madarame is doing to him.

GeneX posted:Don't let distractions about culpability distract you from Ann's stalker blackmailing her into sexual harassment. Like, he could have asked for cash, but no, he's gotta threaten a girl and her friends so she'll get naked for him. No one is saying what he is doing isn't lovely. Instead people are saying that his own position is also really lovely.

This is why I never could get too mad at the setup for the joke. Yes it is creepy and just after Kamoshida it may not be the best timing, but the first time I saw the punchline of it all I just started to laugh.
