Astral Chain

AC is a success and you can't deny it. Fanart is slowly starting to flow, let's have another AC thread.

Any fans or shills sell me on this, it looked interesting but I'm not sure how it plays since I only saw the reveal trailer and noticed its getting some discussion lately. How would you compare it to any other title/ its strengths and weaknesses?

Any chance for PC port or am i better off waiting for Switch emulator to actually run shit?

Maybe that can be fixed with an update?

porn already?

0% chances, Nintendo owns the IP completely.

Are there any rewards for clearing files on Ultimate mode?

I got it Saturday, haven't started it yet. Need ideas for snacks/drinks before I start. Be back in half an hour.

Well my inner poorfag forbids me from getting switch for 2 games,

finally some GOOD art is being made

I got my switch as a gift (old model though) so I came here to laugh at you.

it's a 30 dollar game at best. tons of dialogue/cutscenes for a shit anime story. tons of "go grab this, go talk to this person" quests. when you find yourself in a combat situation, as soon as you're warmed up after doing a bunch of boring nonsense, the combat is over and you're back to talking to NPCs for an hour.

It's time for my qt to get serious!!

>This and Daemon x Machina

I agree. Usually PG gets the camera in action games down but I don't know what happened here. At times it feels very uncomfortable to play

anyone else having the camera snap to the left sometimes when walking around out of combat?

>Fanart is slowly starting to flow
anything for my girl alicia yet?

I take you like mecha games so switch also has the completely free warframe so you have three games.

The combat is way different from regular CUH-RAAZY character action games. It's more about positioning and tactics rather than memorizing attack combinations. There's also light detective work and silly character interactions. It's one of the best games on the Switch.

What about the bayonettas?

When does this game become good? I've just finished chapter 5 and it just doesn't click. Platforming is trash, and bosses are mediocre at the very best. Chapter 4 was actually decent enough and it felt like the game has potential, but chapter 5 is as boring as the first three. At this point I'm pretty much playing it for the story.

yeah pretty easily, Assuming the levels are built with a more zoomed out one in mind.

I really dislike warframes design

file 1

All of the shit in this game is making me miss how simple MGR and W101 were in comparison. Also the environments sometimes make it difficult to see attack indicators

Attached: 1550111322574.gif (500x400, 376K)

I'm pretty sure there's an option to zoom the camera out.

Then I dunno what to tell you.

>How would you compare it to any other title/ its strengths and weaknesses?
Still on my first playthrough, but I'm finding it really weird that the game doesn't have a regular normal jump button.

You can dash towards enemies, launch enemies and dash towards them, there's some vertical movement available, but all I'm saying is that there's no jump button. Feels weird.

Aren't they on Wii U too?

Hold R3 and down on the D-Pad.

I wish I could let him drop.

Yeah, then you're not missing much outside of Mario and Zelda(which was on the Wii U as well). Xenoblade 2 is pretty fun too.

Are you not interested in Splatoon 2, Xenoblade 2, Fire Emblem, Mario Maker, Smash, Mario Odyssey, Luigi's Mansion or Animal Crossing? If you are, the system is more than worth the investment. The lineup is only getting better and better.

Especially with that Automata port coming to Switch next year.

Nier's story and RPG elements, Bayo's CUHraaaaazy combat, W101's quirky mechanics, and platforming.
>How would you compare it to any other title/ its strengths and weaknesses?
It's like teh culmination of all of Platinum's experiences in game development in 1.

For what its worth, male Akira seems to fit better and he looks better in the Raven armour.

I only got it for BOTW, laying somewhere in a shelf since i beaten it but i might get Xenoblade chronicles for it soon...

are there kamen rider colors for the legions? anyone got pics?

I heard there was an ex-aid one

Doesn't Xenoblade Chronicles 2 have mechs?

Xenoblade 2 looks kinda interesting but other than that i couldnt care less

I need help with finding the heavy chest plate in file 2. It should be in the astral plane but I cant find it. Anyone has a more detailed location?

Just got the Fist Legion and I can't really find a reason to use this thing.

Bayonetta 3 isn't, and in any case are you saying you own a Wii U?

Play as a mute girl with a kid brother

are there any actual lewds yet or is this game as corpsed as it's been for the past 8 months?

Yeah.

Well, I haven't played XC2 but some fans of it say its a masterpiece.

You dont get to pilot said mechs

Is that why you're hesitant to get a switch? Because you felt let down by the wii u? That's the only reason I can think of for a wii u owner not having a switch by now.

That's even better!

its ok

You can wear it as armour and ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA enemies, which is immensely satisfying

For me it's Olive!

Yes, but they aren't playable. Xenoblade X is the one with playable mechas.

apparently it's very good for crowds, though personally it's my least used one too.

Water

That shit eats up energy too fast though

Cant justify getting 370$ (thats how much it costs where i live) console for only 2 games i take any interest in.

Sold, thanks friends. Is there a demo?
Sorry you didn't seem to enjoy it as much user.

>critical damage up doesn't boost headshot damage
that's some fucking bullshit

It's no masterpiece.

But it's still insanely good

nah far from it

Huge xeno fan, but the game has its issues

!. UI, its horrible. Its gotten better with patches, but its still bad
2. Story can e hit or miss. I liked parts of it, but others I didn't like
3. Pyra is a vapid waste of space character wise, just there to sell body pillows. Mythra gets better fleshed out in Torna.
4. Xeno 2 takes elements from both X and 1 (open world design and story respectively)
5. Best chars are the villians imo, but Morag, Zeke, Poppi, and Nia are the standouts in the protag crowd.

Overall 8/10, but X has a more free open world and 1 has a better story

Torna remedies the story issue tho.

I like how the imouto is getting mad that her onii-chan is getting close and personal with another woman.

And i knew what im going in for because i got an used Wii U only 2 years ago solely to play BOTW

>Is there a demo?
No.

I want to see more of Marie’s huge fucking wobbly tits and fat black-girl ass

Play as malecop so you get your imouto harem

I lost count of how many times I shouted at the TV >"YES I FUCKING KNOW HOW TO USE THIS, JFC THIS IS THE 5TH TIME IN 10 MINUTES HAL YOU FUCKING USELESS PIECE OF SHIT. LET ME PLAY THE GAME WITHOUT ANY HANDHOLDING."

Better than XC1 at the very least.

Greetings Neuron Officer, nothing to report!

On the notice of AC being rank 1 in fucking UK of all the places, I went to check how W101 did.
>nintendolife.com/news/2013/08/the_wonderful_101_misses_the_top_20_in_uk_all_format_charts
Ouch.

It's equal parts new and weird action game as well as an homage to nearly every platinum game that came before
It has some unique mechanics in how you have to control and coordinate both the MC and the Legion (and there are multiple ways you can approach even this) as well as how you use the chain between the two to coordinate attacks
On the other hand, it has tons of elements from previous Platinum games such as a strangely in-depth version of the Manual Cutting mode from MGR, some solid shooting mechanics, and a wide variety of playstyles
Unfortunately not, though there's plenty of gameplay if you want to see what it's like
It's got this cool thing going on where the right trigger and right bumper are mostly Human focused, and the left trigger and left bumper are Legion focused

if it jiggles Show me

not in story imo. Combat and world definitely

I'm already getting to the point where I breeze through certain dialogues. There's so much flavour text and anime cliches

It's a flawed masterpiece: what it does well, it does really well. But what it fails at, it fails at hard
I hope W101 gets its day in the sun, same with

I really hate the term masterpiece. Its such a buzzword term that implies its perfect. But nothing is.

So I unlocked the Raven Armor, but can't remove the helmet, will I find the no-helm version anytime soon?

W101 deserved better.
Probably didn't help W101 sales that GTAV released the same week.

What the hypest part of the game, and why was it this?

EVERYTHING was against W101.

>Too experimental.
>Chibi look scared people away.

Gun + Arrow Legion is fun as fuck

For me, XC1=2 in story.
I think the only reason people think XC1's story is better than XC2's is because it came first, when the whole premise of XC1 is the same as 2's, and the stellar voice acting. 2 had worse voice acting. But characters of 2 are better than 1's.

It's a double edged sword. If it did do well everyone would be spouting memes from it and counter-culture would make everyone hate it.

All kidding aside? It felt it really opened up in File 10 when you unlock Fusion or once you start you replay old level with the later unlocked Legions.

The game honestly looks boring as hell. I almost fell for the hype too.

W101 didnt even release the same year as gtaV

And you are so weak willed that you let some faggots' shitposting affect your enjoyment of something you like?

All franchises have shitty faggot fans. Not wanting something to do well because of fans is dumb.

Anyone know what the prize for getting 7 bowls at the congee shop in Z09 is?

the male singer is fucking horrible though

It did but I was wrong about it releasing in the same week.

Maybe as a whole, 2 had better characters. But Shulk was miles better than Rex as a protag desu.

I checked and is true, then what it was? I remember w101 came out the same week than some massive game.

Not great, not terrifying

Clone doesn't count

>The term 'masterpiece' implies perfection
No ... it doesn't. It just means an outstanding product of creative minds. It might have flaws but they are so little and irrelevant in the grand scheme that they can be disregarded

Can you guys stop talking about xbc2? You may summon that faggot and he may ruin the thread.

I got an ability chip for fire resistance

enlighten me please

Some of the platforming things really piss me off because of how often you can get caught on the corner of a wall or some shit like that.

Other than that, I liked the game more as I played it. Doing aerial combos with the Legions dragging you to the enemies is fucking satisfying.

I don't think anyone argues that. But then it's the case that Shulk's a couple leagues above almost everyone else in his game, while Rex is at best bottom 2 of the core 11. Bottom 3 of 13 if we count Vandam and Roc.

But he is the clone.

NO.

Thanks for the spoilers, fucktard

Also, that stealth shit is obnoxious and I wish devs would stop forcing stealth mechanics in games where it doesn't need them.

What if the DLC is a Xenoblade Chronicles 2 crossover since the Legion is a Blade and the Officer is a Driver.
Howard, meet Rex.

Oh wait, the one in 2014 in the PS4 version.

>nips in charge of fetish art
All is right with the world.

So, nothing important then. Thanks.

Case 2: There's a heavy chest plate in the Astral plain in a side area.

Case 3: hidden holo-mask salesman behind a holographic wall in the alley you start in. Skull and Hermit holo-masks.

Case 4: After acquiring the Arm legion, move back to the staircase and chain jump across to a gate that can be lifted. Goggles.

Case 5: At the Aegis Institute you can find an eyepatch in one of the medical rooms.(sorry, forgot the exact one.)

Case 6: A cardboard box hat is under a staircase in the area you are tracking Douglas with the Beast Legion.

Case 7: cat holo-mask on the pipes in the area where you have to save one of the police men from falling.

Case 8: help Billy (the guy with the sunglasses) take down a terrorist plot and earn a pair of sunglasses of your own.

no jump button removes a crutch, air game is super strong in this game, you just need to be slightly strategic to get there

Or at least let you have fun with it by letting you fuck with guards with your Legions
Make it more akin to a Hitman stealth section where it's abotu fucking with NPCs and making different systems break

>not every game needs to do Fortnite numbers on Twitch to be financially successful
>people would rather play the game than watch other people play it
that's my point
though, Nintendo actually owns both IPs at this point, so it wouldnt be beyond the realm of possibility to say that Legions cores and Blade cores are one and the same, or one was based off the other Especially given all the talk of Legion cores having to store data just like how blade cores are basically just crystalline computer brains

Case 7 also has a full police helmet beyond an Axe Legion barrier, after fighting the Minotaur mini-boss.

You know a game is shit when there are more people watching others play it than playing it for themselves.

>using twitch for anything other than multiplayer esports shit

Yo thank you for this.

I mean, playing the game through again and seeing the Proto-Legions it kinda implies that they are able to do that, so its possible.

When does that happen? What File?

I guarantee you there's going to be multiple twincest doujins within the month. Japs are pretty fucked up when it comes to this kind of fetish.

something i'm completely baffled by is how they didn't put a quick travel point directly to the upgrade room. i went two chapters with the same shitty baton because i just forgot about the room which i will admit was retarded of me but still, why is there no travel point for such an important room but one for the fucking break room which only has a vending machine

Someone please tell me chapter 6 is the longest chapter because holy fuck I can't take much more of these "investigation" sections. I'm running around mashing A on people so they can give me red text so I can actually get to some combat. I suppose I should start skipping the blue quests too since they're bullshit time wasters that don't give you anything worthwhile, same with 99% of the chests in the game.

Same thing happens with the Arrow Legion if you choose to not to kill your twin at the end of the NOAH fight. It might've done it instead. Could be be because they start to inherit the attributes of their partners after a short time. Or could just be a potential sequel hook because we never really find out what Chimeras really are outside of what Jenna talks about.

the latter most likely

To be fair that says almost nothing about anything, the setting is all over the place so just referencing that out of context made me more interested in what sort of context that makes any kind of sense. On that note, I'm going back to the game before I get seriously spoiled.

The game toku as fuck, not expecting a HENSHIN at one point was silly.

I don't know why they felt the need to include ledges you can fall off of during combat and environmental hazards. They just make combat in those areas obnoxious as fuck.

i dont see a problem

you say this like it's a bad thing

Too anime is something among the lines of Xenoblade 2. I loved that game but they went too hard with that shit before things got better.

Astral Chain is anime but more in the aesthetic sense. Story is just your generic save the world chosen one schlock but it’s all bareable even if you don’t like anime.

the combat is genuinely difficult to grasp at first, but once it gets going (around chapter 3-4 and beyond), it's the most satisfying shit HANDS DOWN in a video game for me.

The combat is so great but some things really could have been cut to improve the experience, like the too large exploration/detective chunks.

The ranking system feels like it's more about hitting checkmarks instead of playing really well. If you just do shit like perfect call, switch your legions around, multi bind etc you'll probably score high regardless of how much shit you eat

It's not supposed to be a character action game, though.

less kuh-rayzee than Jubileus but also a better and more honest boss fight aside from the black hole move that has minimal windup that he sometimes does instead of the easily punished shit when he's in the corner.

The heavy plat is in file 3 in astral plane where you meet the drone. After the douple pressure plate you have to stand on top the lowered cubes to access a side area with a mini boss. There are two chests, one with field items and the other olds the heavy police vest. There is nothing to be found in the astral planes in case 2 as far as I can tell

>around chapter 3-4
Chapter 3 is just where you unlock all the gameplay options.
Just got through it and I'm still a bit overwhelmed and can't get used to controls. All of the schemes are a bit awkward.

doesn't matter to japan

how long is this game

Imagine setting yourself up for a sequel this hard

Your personal opinion is irrelevant, what matters is that Yoko himself said that.

I wish my bosses were that based

Took me about 27 hours to beat the main game

15-20 hours

I usually beat games pretty fast, my playtime after credits was just over 21 hours, I did most of the sidequests I could find but looking at score screens probably missed about 1/3rd of them overall. There's also postgame challenges after credits I havent touched yet.

Noah prime made me shit out my dick for the first time in my playthrough. Second time was Olive's ARI case.

Kino

It feels like the team were really excited about the game they were making, from the game constantly setting itself up for sequels they hope to be able to make, to the art team deciding they needed over 160 enemy assets for no particular reason.

How the fuck do I beat the final boss?

I really wish they would have either stuck to Action RPG or standard platinum action game with this.
A Pt Action game shouldn't have shit like level ups and an Action RPG shouldn't have a ranking system that seems to be invalidated by just making your numbers bigger. Transformers had a similar problem with its weird loot system

It's about 25, maybe a little more if you're being thorough about finding most optional cases and looking for treasure/cats/toilets. If not, subtract 5 hours. Then there's the postgame challenges, higher difficulty, getting S+ etc for completionists.

Use your head. Use Arm legion and the floor doesn't even matter.

git gud, its the only way. Learn its patterns. Also remember that many of his attacks can be countered by specific legions so keep track of that.

Considering pixiv is THE place for fan art in japan, its safe to say not many Japanese player care about it

Have you been under the rock? Ever since pixiv tried to claim ownership over any art posted on it, many artists exploded in rage and flew to twitter. Twitter is now the main upload site for Japanese artist, a terrible archival place for art but they don't care.

I won't deny that it's a fun game, but it's like 80 dollars in nip land. I hope it does well, but I won't be shocked if the sales aren't what people expect.

How many cases are there anyway? I assume the 8 or so available right after you beat chapter 11 arent all of them but wondering how many more there are (if any)

You buddy has cool clothes, can you obtain them?

Those glasses are complex.

That's a normal price for Japan. Games are almost always more expensive there.

1. Game seems like it references various different anime. As far as I've seen, there are references to Ghost in the Shell, Evangelion, Attack on Titan and maybe both Bleach and Naruto.
2. There's a bunch of automated vending machines with their own personalities that you can chat with a little and they're all cute as fuck, especially the shy and tsundere ones.
3. You can adopt cats and feed them, not sure if you can pet them though
4. You can pet the dog legion
5. If you're that perverted, the Iris system allows you to read a person's weight and measurements
6. Marie's breasts have jiggle physics but you only really notice it in cutscenes

From the start of the game, your customization options are very limited. As you complete orders/achievements, you unlock more ways to color practically everything about your character and their legion, including more skin colors.

Go in front of it and press A

You're missing the Zetman reference with the White/Black/Red Legion skin.

Did they really have to sequelbait this hard? The ending was't really satisfying with so much shit left open.

It's a Nintendo game as much as Mario and Fire Emblem, so a PC port will never happen in the current landscape of things.

Does he respawn if you travel to another level? Or is he constantly running around and will eventually get back to where I am if I stay idle?

Nice so there were originally plans for more than the 5, god I want that dual bladed staff so much now that I see it and the ball and chain. Or rather the Chimera on a chain.

I'm one of the 2 people in the UK with a Wii U. The day i bought it i got W101 and Bayo 1+2. Still not played W101...

While I would have liked them to close off a little more, it feels like an okay balance, if theres no more games then a lot of the gaps can be filled in with speculation, and if there are sequels they dont have to undo victories made in the first game to have a conflict.

I think he comes back, but I got him just by doing the other stuff and keeping an eye out. Eventually he ran into my path again. I say again because the first time he knocked me over from behind.

I can't decide what skills I want on my legions anons
I don't want overlap but dunno what works

People seem confused about how long its taking them to make Bayonetta 3, yet no one realizes that with Nier and now this Platinum has been improving Ass rendering tech in ways we've never seen before.

Well, they said they wanted to make a trilogy if possible. If it sells, there's definitely a sequel. Alongside a F-zero Meteor GP developed by Platinum.

Where in the fuck do you start the labyrinth? I know it's past the time trial, but I'm lost beyond that.

Kamiya had literally nothing to do with this game. "Supervisor" lmoa

wheres the heavy armor in file 3
give specifics please i dont know why nobody is doing this

His role was probably just to watch how Taura directed a game and decide if he should be given more directorial work in future.

It's the area just past the timed section. If you're going the guy's riddle, the big tip off is when you get to the narrow room and a loud noise goes off. It should be just ahead along a wall. It's in the southeast part of that area.

The way the Homunculi absorb the data aswell is straight out of Digimon Tamers

Retard question but can I close the game during a mission or will it lose progress? They are so long and I wanna play something else before finishing this file.

Game isn't clicking with me, dodge feels like shit and I keep dying to the fight against everyone's corrupted legions which I feel like I shouldn't be having trouble with considering you go blue hair mode. I loved W101 on the other hand.

This. The way Akira acts throughout the game has Japanese female all over it.

I don't like role playing as a girl.

It's a video game not D&D.

Kyle is based. Looks like a Suda51 character.

same reason why boys play with action figures and girls play with dolls. normal people self insert. if you self insert into a female body then i've got news for you.

no spoon feeders here user

The speed/attack boost is really noticeable on some Legions and your self definitely. I'm running my Axe legion with it and have an ability core with the buff keep skill (forgot the name)

Nobody but fags self inserts. Holy shit, is this still a thing in 2000+19?

I think its the first raised platform, ride it right to the top and chain jump to the glowing blue thing on the floor.

How long is this game? I'm loving it so far and don't want it to end.

I find it amazing that we're in 2019 and there's still no easy way to just take a screenshot and upload it to an image-sharing site. You have to use FB or Twitter.

Yeah, no man I don't self insert like most faggots I don't play games to do that.

It’s a damn crime that he’s only relevant for one chapter

Unchain/autobind are too good to give up. I think I put an attack boost on beast but otherwise I just let two legions go batshit on bound enemies 24/7.

I played through the first two files with both genders just to make sure.

This game was absolutely designed to be played with the default male MC. The cutscene animations, facial reactions and personality of the twins feel way more natural and intentional with Male MC and female partner.

And it kind of sucks because I wanted to play female MC because I like her design more also you get way more ass shots with the camera focused on her but my autism wouldn't allow it.

Thank you for the concern user. I'll hitting the hay soon.

No, it updates your total ranking with your best results for each individual case. You can pick which ones you want to do and quit the file when you've done them. You will need to do the whole thing if you missed the 80% red matter order though.

Did anyone get the collector's edition?

>normal people self insert
>forcefully pretending to be someone else as yourself is normal
Lmao nice try tranny.

Wait, is there an order for getting all of it in a file? Or is 80% the highest one?

Do you really self insert as a cybercop in 2077 fighting intedimensional elritch abominations? Really? How does that works?

I disagree.
The game was absolutely designed to be played with the default female MC. Dark Hero as the female character is beyond compare. The male version absolutely sucks donkey balls compared to the utter hype that is the female version of the song. Male versions ruins the entire story moment.

I think 80% is the highest. I did one 100% and don't think I got anything for it.

Those retards are the same ones who think Kamiya is involved in every game and blame him for whatever reason.

Who cares? the game is pretty boring and uninventive. The cringe ass Japanese cutscenes dont help either.

user, you ARE the eldritch abomination. You're the shambling extra-dimensional horror that's controlling their world like marionettes. They cannot comprehend you, but you're there, just out of reach, watching them, prodding them to go left and right...

>µSD cards exists
That's not fucking easy. You need to buy a piece of storage, have the infrastructure to connect it to your PC, and then every time you take a screenshot you have to take it out, walk over to your computer, upload it, walk back, put it back in the console. If I wanted to do that much work then I wouldn't be complaining.

So how the fuck do you unlock more clothing pieces? I'm at file 8 and I feel like I haven't unlocked shit compared to how much gear the NPCs are wearing.

It's trash.

Kamiya is assblasted manlet cuck

You can play a girl character without pretending self-inserting isn't a pretty common design feature of games and very obviously intentional in this one with the silent avatar. It's not like you're required to role-play.

You can't unlock all npc outfits. You get your own civilian clothes from the story, raven armor from a postgame challenge, lappy from lappy parts and medical suit from shitting everywhere. Daddy's armored jacket is in an early file.
