I have made a mistake....

What?

Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online is the.. 9th maybe? Game in the Neptunia series. Neptunia games are basically anime girls who represent both video game consoles and video game companies. Cyberdimension has the 4 main characters be beta testers in an MMO. Cyberdimension plays like a beat em up, though it appears the main series of Nep games are actually turn based affairs.

The series is essentially a visual novel with gameplay attached.

Why

Some fucknig twat and I said some poo poo and here I am. As for why THIS one, well my assumption is after making so many games the latest one will therefore have the most polish behind it, right? Please don't say anything if that isn't the case, let me live in bliss.

I don't really know anything about these games, so references to past games will fly over my head and I'm not exactly eager to go and read up on the lore.

How?

Video because screenshot LPs are even more time consuming when it comes to typing up stuff, and transcribing text and eff that.

Also I know anime people get into a frothing rage over this but the voice settings will be the English because if I have to suffer through this game then so do you. Also i don't have a phobia of my native tongue and how do you know if its even good Japanese voice acting you can't speak it you pasty white nerds

Also this game has a bunch of dialogue, like a lot. I think it rivals Metal Gear Solid games. So I'll be speaking over them otherwise I'd be quiet for like 95% of the game.

Spoilers?

Use spoiler text. For older games please put them in spoiler text because who knows if I end up doing another toxx like this again.

So uh... these girls...

This is an anime game where anime girls represent video games. There is going to be cheesecake. Please don't post in here going "Wow isn't that skeevy!", we know dude. We don't need someone coming in and going "Hey whats with this perverted stuff, am I right guys?" Thats my shtick. Also on the flip side don't post about how much you like that stuff. Basically:



Needless to say, consider this thread :nws:

So lets all sit back. lets have a good chuckle at this niche series and enjoy me being confused cause I don't understand anime.


But no seriously guys

I guess I'll be informative or something



Neptune is the main character of which the series is named of. She is the Sega console representative for a console that Sega was gonna make that would let you play different console's worth of games on one single console then abandoned. Lazy and hyperactive and doesn't do work, she is perfect waifu material for NEETs cause she reminds them of themselves

Class Paladin

Chest rating Flat like Sega's pulse in the console market



Noire is the Sony representative, she doesn't want friends but secretly wants friends and cosplays. She's also some type of anime stereotype (BUT ENOUGH ABOUT THE REST OF THE CAST HAHAHA) which gives her the suffix of -dere

Class Dark Knight

Chest rating Well rounded like the PS2's library



Blanc is the Nintendo representative, she gets mad and gets a red eye very easily also she writes porn books or something like that.

Class Cleric

Chest rating Flat like the switch



Vert is the Microsoft representative, as an extension of your typical video game nerd she is a sex pest and stays up 4 days straight playing MMOs. She is the only one who does not have any sisters. Really wants to gently caress a video game character BUT ENOUGH ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO PLAYS THESE GAMES HAAHAHAHA

Class Enchantress

Chest rating HUEG LIKE AN XBOX :byodood:

Yeah this was pointed out to me but it looks like its all screenshots? Which I mean would work out better for a game like that, but man it takes me so much longer doing screenshots for my Tropico LP then it does making a single video. Maybe I just need to work on my typing.

Oh dear.

So... what exactly is the difference between the three melee weapons (sword, spear, rapier)? Different hitbox? Different speed?

As far as I can tell while playing they seem to be the exact same thing in those regards. It feels like the spear hits at the same range as the sword, and I don't think the combos are all that different.

I might not have the context necessary to really understand this series.

So, this is like a visual novel with faux-MMO sequences in between? And the characters are animethropomorphized versions of video game systems?

Yeah, the series seems to be a visual novel with gameplay between the bits. The main series has the traditional jrpg turn based combat and encounters while the spin offs are beat em ups.

And yeah, the girls basically represent a video game company/console. Neptune is off a cancelled Sega console that combined 2 earlier consoles? Blanc is Nintendo, Noire is Sony and Vert is Microsoft.

Alright live reactions from the first Episode of the Nep anime:

It starts with the 4 girls in their super saiyajin forms. Neptune looks like an adult in this form. When each girl is introduced, Blanc, Noire and Neptunia have a group of Important NPCs (You can tell because they look unique) however Vert does not. When she is announced her tits bounce, in spite of the fact that an overview shot happens and shows 4 groups of people, surely one for each console.

Also I'm sure there is a Phantasy Star Online reference at the start.

The girls declare they will not use their military to take shares from one another, I presume shares are like company shares. How much cooler would the games industry be irl if EA just hired a bunch of thugs to light up Activision HQ? The girls have an after party where they return to their normal forms. Vert's tits jiggle again, with a sound effect.

In spite of the fact shares are to now be increased by the actions of helping their own nation instead of stealing it from other nations through the military, Neptune is lazy and playing video games. But wait, aren't they video games? Do they play their own consoles? Anyways the jpop intro starts that I skipped over.

Two characters are shown, who were part of Nep's Important NPC crew, named Compa (oh I get it) and Iffy (I think I get it) and they bump into Important Plot NPC, you can tell she is important because she is voiced, looks distinct and her hair is animated.

As an aside, I notice all the background NPCs are also women. I actually went back to the start to look at the people behind the non important NPCs and they're all women. Also I realize I'm using the term NPC for an anime, well it loving counts cause its all in a video game!

Anyways Plot NPC gives a paper of Plot to Iffy and Compa. We are then brought into a dark room with a power symbol and streams of data. Honestly... it looks kinda cool. What isn't cool is the lolicon fairy that pops down and says "Hey, listen look" and we get treated to a close up of her legs, both hands between her legs and fidgeting. Then I closed the tab and hit submit reply.

From what the folks who actually translated it said, Nepgear's message is using a cipher deliberately used to defeat simple substitution decryption methods, so trying to replace one letter for another doesn't really work for this instance.

Keeping this bit in spoiler text so folks who are still trying to work it out themselves don't ruin the surprise: It's a Vigenère cipher, using Uni as the keyword.

Alright lets do some penance for taking so long, I'll try to watch the second episode of the anime.

I skip past the opening because I only watch anime intros that have buttrock like DBZ or wigger rap like One Piece. The episode starts with some blond chick saying she is gonna save the children of the world. I'm sure I'll love this character. The Nep sisters are in a carriage and talk about how cool Lowee (HEH) is and Neptune mentions that Blanc needs to loosen up or she'll be friendless like Noire. It then turns out that Noire is inside the whole time, along with her sister.

Rom and Ram prank a house keeper, Vert and Blanc have backdoor politics by discussing something that the other nations shouldn't know about. The noise made by the prank annoys her, so Blanc freaks out. Rom and Ram show Blanc a book that they drew in making fun of Blanc's angry face. The Nep crew arrives, end scene.

Neptune wants a vacation, but Blanc mentions that someone named Heestoire wanted her to train Neptune. They discussing going to some fair called Super Ninten Land. Clever, and I don't mean that sarcastically. They want Blanc to come, and she doesn't want to because work. Nepgear says if you work then you lost at life, to which Noire responds with the "Some bum on youtube said that" line. I mean, she isn't wrong.

So the sisters all play at Ninten Land, they go into pipes and pop out of other pipes, there are mushrooms around, floating blocks and floating coins with various creatures on them. I admit, it looks neat. Noire and Vert talk about how Blanc needs to be more diplomatic, Vert mentions that maybe they all need to grow up then says "Maybe not me though" and wiggles her tits.

The 3DS sisters come across a rare coin, in fact a bunch of the same rare coin making a trail. They make a joke about collecting 100 coins for Blanc can probably make her get a life. Again, clever. Maybe this anime wont suck so much if they stick with the video game puns? We then see a close up of a tongue.... I'm.. not gonna like this am I?

Uni and Nepgear notice that Rom and Ram are missing and come across the coin trail, and this big monster has Rom and Ram. He attacks Uni and Nepgear with his tongue and... he says..

"You're too large for my taste" and he..... to the twins...
















gently caress you Japan

I'm pretty sure if we try hard enough we can find the "inspiration" for the rest of the classes, with the exception of like the paladin or whatever cause those are prob from other Idiot Factory titles.

What really gets me is that this doesn't sound how other people talk to each other in MMOs. I might just be spoiled from playing CrossCode but for real, it sounds so...fake. Like some third party heard all convos and then made a script from it.

There is a severe lack of emotes, last video had the only emote usage so far. Speaking of FF14, this video also had a reference to the Zodiac weapon. Sadly Ibble's connection issue happened which stopped me from railing on that god.drat.grind.
