Why did Yea Forums turn on this game so hard?

Bandwagoners who pretended to like the game because of "muh robutt facebook maymays" moved on the the next thing they're supposed to obsess over.
Only people left to talk about it are the ones who don't feel obligated to like it because of a character design and can see the flawed, overpraised product it is.

Just say you want a Nier Automata thread instead of being a colossal faggot about it holy shit

Normal people who enjoy video games don't talk about the same ones forever. Only autistic faggots feel the need to prove everyone wrong and ramble about a game that came out years ago.

Never did.
Just spergs who shitpost on the game 24/7.
I stopped going in threads mostly because of the shitposters and this.
>Bandwagoners who pretended to like the game because of "muh robutt facebook maymays"
First couple weeks after release and threads were comfy.

>taro went from based to retarded SJW in a few years time
Elaborate moar

Once the load was blown, Yea Forums came to their senses.

yeah because consuming the newest shitty product of the month like a mindless drone and basing your entire life cycle around this is so much healthier right

Because it's obviously apparent trash. A sexy android trapped in a juggling simulator does not make a good game.

They can’t, they’re shit posting. Anyone who calls any of taro’s game SJW is shitposting or retarded. I just hope they are shitposting.

Aren't there lesbians in this game? Is it okay when Taro does it?

These character designs scream sjw all right

because it's weebshit with a clever philosophy disguise
but its utter shit cunt fuck off

If you think lesbians is SJW then you are retarded and yes there is a lesbian couple but it’s a abusive relationship.

is "weebshit", perhaps, the most telling sign of no original thought in one's skull?

because it got popular

6O and those two androids in the side-quest, yes. So a minor character and two even less than minor characters.

6O is also a lesbian. So is A2. It's not just those two from the sidequest I don't remember the number.

because reddit, journalists, and normalfags all found out about it.

You know Taro is not responsible for the designs, right? I'm pretty sure he can't draw.
I don't think he's SJW or any such shit (yet) but just saying that the designs are not an argument for that.
You could just say that he doesn't equate male with evil in his writing.

The porn has gotten stale and all the ironic imagine the smell posters have moved to feet and armpits

if by SJW you mean lgbtq characters who dont shove their sexuality down your throats then sure. but i'm talking about kaine and emil from the first game so your point is moot you fucking retard

Overrated and soulless. Gameplay may be janky but in terms of story presentation (key aspect in JRPG) Drakengard 3 was miles better.

The problem with Yea Forums is that a handful of autists with enough free time on their hands can create the illusion of an overwhelming opinion.

It has that distinct old game soul

Please, to all the fans of this game, I'd love to hear your arguments as to why you think this game is the greatest thing ever made. I just have a few conditions though.

>I will not listen to any defense of the story. Having ANY cutscenes in your game is a disgusting affront to the medium. The only good cutscene is a short cutscene, or a nonexistent one. Back to Yea Forums if you want that cinematic filth
>I hate sex fanservice, and even one microsecond of it is enough to turn me off from a game. Why? NOt because of some dumb reason like muh soggy knees. No, I hate it because of the degeneracy that it attracts. People who spam porn threads 24/7, and never allow actual game discussion. I will not tolerate this as good under any context.
>I will also refuse to listen to any appeals to popularity or prior games. I don't care about Yoko Taro or Drakengard or any prior games.

Surely if this game is a 10/10 masterpiece beyond reproach, you should be able to argue why the game is so good.

What did Yea Forums think of ending e? Just got it last night, it was pretty kino.

Personally hated it. Felt way too pretentious.

>dude delete your save data because we're all like one big family maaaan *tokes blunt*

This isn't even the first time they've pulled this. And it gets more obnoxious every time.

No one ever really liked it, it was shilled because of identity politics

[citation needed]

>you can only call this game good if it meets my specific personal preferences
idiot
>one microsecond of fanservice is enough to turn me off from a game
idiot and a faggot

It was good to see all the endings, but has - replay value. Nobody turned on it, it just ran out of gas.

just popping in this thread to ask two questions before I play

1. what difficulty should I start on and can I change it at any point?
2. is progressing through the different endings obvious or should I look up a guide at some point?

because normal people started liking it and they didn’t feel special anymore

It's obvious. Play whatever difficulty feels best to you.

>has no argument, falls back to insults
Yes, thank you for the rebuttal user.

Nice delusion

when has setting goalposts ever been worthy of an argument

Start on normal, you can change the difficulty at any point.

You wont need a guide to get all the real endings. There are like ~20 or so bad / joke ends which you can miss, though.

>he doesn't know

Because of the butt posting.
Nobody hates butts but everybody hates faggot posters.

And thats where youre wrong pal

>the gameplay was great
>the stories of games are a selling points despite your bitching and N:A's was good
>the world was fun to explore
>the side quests were diverse and interesting
but none of that matters to someone like you. you would call it shit no matter what so why bother

post 2butt

this its like Assassins Creed

arigatou, I'll start on normal and then bump it to hard when I beat the first boss 'cuz I remember hearing people mad about the lack of checkpoints at the start. goodbye!

They got laid.

People who can enjoy stuff tend to visit Yea Forums in a wax/wane cycle. They come to discuss the game, get annoyed by the permanent community of shitposters here and eventually leave once their interest in the game wanes, then they are spurred to leave by the shitposting. What you see now is just the default amount of shitposters. Only weirdos like me tend to stick around, waiting to discuss niche video games on a board that increasingly doesn't care about them.

>the gameplay was great
Is that why nobody ever talks about it?

>the stories of games are a selling point
In that case, could you fill me in on why 2B's ass sitting on people, and fart fetish porn, are so important to the lore of the game? After all, that gets posted more than anything else.

>the world was fun to explore
And yet threads are nothing but camera manipulation to see underneath 2B's skirt. I've never once heard of anyone actually discuss exploration.

>the side quests
What sidequests? Who ever actually talks about them?

>Is that why nobody ever talks about it?
People talk about it all the time, tourist.

>blaming the game for people being perverted retards
It's like I can see your mouth open to breath from here.

>People talk about it all the time, tourist.
Talking about wanting to fuck your waifu =/ gameplay discussion.

Good talk, shitposter-kun. See you next thread.

>none of his criticisms are about the game just bitches about buttposters on Yea Forums
see? why bother

I don't especially hate it but I would have if I paid full price for it when it was new. Yes its got many endings but you're repeating the exact same quests by the 3rd. Atmosphere is great and story was cool but ultimately I feel there was too little to do for a game that was once full price (79.99 in Canada). I got it for 20 bucks though so I'm not complaining. I feel almost no desire to replay it though.

>Why did Yea Forums turn on this game so hard?
cause it made money

Taro is not even real, he is wearing a mask, he is a

I already outlined why the game fails in multiple areas in my first post here. To sum it up:

>all story heavy games are bad
>games that rely on fanservice are bad
>stripping all of that away, you're left with a button masher that requires zero skill

The titties and the story are just a facade to hide the shallow gameplay, and that's genuinely dishonest on the part of Taro.

Is the PC port really that bad? I have a decent PC and want to run it with the HD texture packs for anotehr playthrough.

you ignored all the points i made here and just complained about Yea Forums instead. you dont deserve any further argument

Oh, now I know who you are. I see now just how much I was wasting my time.

What points? You put out a bunch of extremely vague compliments and then never expanded on them.

this nigga thinks he's smart and that people are going to stoop to his level of stupid to refute his post when he basically said any game post SNES, and even including some earlier games, as shit due to cutscenes. Nigga, you seriously dumb as a brick and think you aren't.

See

>>stripping all of that away, you're left with a button masher that requires zero skill

I'll have add this to my original replay as well. The only aspect of the combat system that required skill was putting a good efficient set of component chips together. Other than that all you needed to do was mash square and you'd fuck up anybody. The Pod weapons were absolutely useless and upgrading your weapons to the highest level was absurdly easy. Original reply:

post-orgasm clarity

The music unironically carried the game. Was great though.

I never said they're all shit. I said STORY HEAVY games are bad. Games should be about the actual videogamey part. And no, visual novels and JRPGs are not an exception. Why are you playing a game when you only want to watch the story? You've defeated the entire point of PLAYING the game.

I just find it ironic when Yea Forums gets on games like TLOU or Uncharted for being story heavy and having mindless gameplay, but throw a waifu into the mix, and suddenly everyone loves it. It's funny.

Yes, actually. That is literally what he said.

You know when you get linked to a reddit page and you see the absolute cringefest that is the particular subreddit's rules list?
That's the feel I got from this post. Fuck off back to plebbit.

incel automata

No, those insults just happen to be pretty good ways to sum up why nobody in their right mind should listen to you.
Idiot.

Yikes

According to you, I'm an idiot because I think gameplay should take precedence over the ability to jerk off to an anime waifu, or the story. I can't figure out why though.

id like a switch port

Yeah, what's wrong with that? Can't you give me RPG gameplay without boring me to death with cutscenes? Does environmental storytelling just not exist in your world?

No, fucko, you're an idiot because you want people to explain to you why something that you don't like can't be good. I thought the post I referenced before was pretty clear on that. You narcissistic idiot.

I'm getting this lecture from Mr. "all western games are bad because the women are too ugly"? The irony is so thick that you could cut it with a butter knife. I mean criminy, you want the freedom to declare trhe game as this perfect artwork, but you don't want anyone to criticize it.

Nice strawman, bud. I guess I can't fault you for assuming everyone else here is the same person, but I have never in my life said that. In fact, I'm not playing a single japanese game at the moment, so all that reply really achieved was making you look more retarded than you already did.
Here's the reason nobody replied to you with more than 2 sentences so far: we'd be getting into several separate - all of them pretty widely discussed and whose perspective is heavily reliant on your subjective point of view and general taste - arguments with someone that is clearly not interested in considering anyone else's opinion.

Yes, how convenient that, ebven though every single Nier thread devolves into trashing on western devs for "not making sexy waifus for their games" you're the magical exception. Very convenient indeed.

>we'd be getting into several separate - all of them pretty widely discussed and whose perspective is heavily reliant on your subjective point of view and general taste - arguments with someone that is clearly not interested in considering anyone else's opinion.
I'd be more than willing to consider people's arguments and opinions. Here's the thing: all of them devolve into "I want to fuck 2B". You know that, I know that. Why deny it? Why deny the thousands of porn dumps and spam that has ruined this board for years?

Seriously, what the fuck? I honestly thought you were just a stubborn fool who was pretending to want a proper discussion on a fucking imageboard when I said the "narcissistic idiot" thing, but I'm honestly starting to believe at least part of it. Sure, mate, we're all out to get you.
Hoooly shit, how many people do you think are in this board? Different fucking people, with different fucking opinions and tastes. Jesus h fuck, you're insane.

Its mediocre fapbait

More like why did this game turn on Yea Forums so much

>Hoooly shit, how many people do you think are in this board? Different fucking people, with different fucking opinions and tastes. Jesus h fuck, you're insane.
It really doesn't matter how many people are involved here. It's the mindset that they all share. I have legit never seen even one single Nier fan who valued good gameplay above all else. And the thousands of porn dumps that have been spammed on Yea Forums (among other discussion places) only proves it. If you want to spam porn, go right ahead. But don't expect me to clap and call it good gameplay discussion. You made your dakimakura-laden bed, now lie in it.

Kek. Your insistence in grouping me with the hopeless shitposters is amusing. Though I do very much doubt your claim that you've never seen anyone actually try to properly have a discussion with you, though I very much believe you believe it, oh guardian of the absolute truth.
Also, and just one last note because it's getting late here and I should probably get in my dakimakura-laden bed soon: There is no real reason to get even close to Nier Automata when discussing why plot can be considered a relevant element when criticizing a game, or why it can even surpass gameplay - despite the apparent oxymoron there - in importance in specific cases. Neither is it necessary for when it comes to talking about about the acceptability of fanservice. It can be given as an example or case study, but those arguments can be had without being about this specific game. It's just that nobody wants to have them with you.

>it's a "newfags reply earnestly to ACfag" episode

I wonder if there will come a day where he manages to argue with every single user on Yea Forums to the point where everyone will recgonize and ignore him on sight

"Nobody wants to have them with you"? Are you saying nobody wants to discuss the merits of gameplay importance because of one single person? And I'm somehow responsible for gameplay discussion never happening, even in threads I don't post in? I didn't know I had that much power, to completely eradicate any semblance of gameplay discussion even when I'm nowhere near a thread. Logically one would assume that the threads were just shitposting and porn dumps because the game was bad and had no redeeming qualities, but that would make too much sense, and it might reflect badly on the thousands of threads started solely to talk about how much people wanted 2B to sit on them.

Nah, I'm saying that the faintest indication of your presence turns everyone but the most resilient of shitposters away. You know, because, as it turns out, talking with you is a waste of time and sanity. You do indeed have that power. It's amazing, really.
