I don't dislike them but I never felt they were all that challenging like eveeyone says. Just annoyingly punishing for when you do fuck up which is just discouraging.

I like them. The “community” is annoying as hell though

Agree, but only for Dark Souls proper
Bloodborne has something really cool going for it, despite arguably being the ugliest
Elden Ring is beautiful in general, or at least balances the ugly things with pretty ones

Got all of its achievements and I tell you :
No.

I have the opposite problem where I hate the new modern anime style, your pic looks weird too but definitely not bland and I don't associate it with gacha games.
It's just so boring, no matter how interesting they might make the buildings, environments, etc. I can't handle their empty, generic faces and styles. I would say they look like babies, even if anime styles have always mostly been neotenous, there's something about them that registers as especially child-like to me. Maybe it's the even smaller noses. Maybe it's the blandness that looks like it was made for toddlers.

I will never watch an anime with this copy-pasted art style. It just makes me so frustrated with how lackluster the animation is as well, and I get so much hate for saying that. Vintage anime definitely had more soul put into their work, not the mainstream.

>>36063
>gacha games
My God, yes. The majority is just some generic Genshin Impact type artstyle.
>>36064
Based.
The mass moefication in anime is just the nippon version of Calarts style.

Majima what are you doing!

>>35637
Wait WHAT
Even by Like a Dragon standards this seems random as hell, but I can't wait to play it. Looks like the combat will be similar to Ishin maybe?

…and EVEN MOAR! Is that Kazuki Kitamura?

Yakuza 5 and 8 gave me the autism and schizophrenia. RIP Morinaga, you deserved better.

>>36057
It is not Kazuki Kitamura.

i don't care about this game at all, it's not for me, so i won't play it. i DO think the fans are insufferable.

I didn’t support the dev getting doxxed but this game (which did have an interesting premise) completely fumbled in an attempt to seem smart and attracted a fanbase of weird fetishists and edgelord teenagers. I get that’s true for most fandoms but seriously this just feels like a jumbled up attempt to be shocking for the sake of shocking while also trying to be super meaningful and you just can’t have both sometimes

>>32379
the whole deep sea prisoner franchise. mogeko castle, wadanohara, ice scream, you name it. filled to brim with rape and sexual assault. half of its characters are sadists and the other half are the sufferers. funamusea mostly promotes her male-on-female SA games but not the other way around. even female-on-female, male-on-male ones get more promoted than usual. the genderbend AU of each game holds strict gender roles and expectations.

the abusive male characters suddenly become "milder" in their acts and behaviour right when they're genderbent. same goes for the female characters turning into "more smug" males.

there are many badass female characters but as i mentioned before they literally aren't celebrated. they don't even have a lore

oh and also funamusea's middle schooler attitude towards her deranged fanbase is just extra fuel to the fire as she is xenophobic towards her south american fanbase. banned every south american ips from accessing her games. has weird fascination with the the controversial japanese regime and soviet military aesthetic.


i've never a a more deranged fandom+game+creator than okegom. i innocently stumbled upon this fandom by being drawn by the amazing character designs and i keep maintaining that. i stopped engaging with any lore, character dynamics, game releases after 2020 and stick to its wiki ONLY for viewing the art commissions

i really like coco and the first 40 chapters but after that the pacing gets really weird and it seems like the writing went in a very different direction. chapters 41 through 83 have taken place in exactly TWO DAYS and have taken the writer FOUR YEARS to write. also, it seems like the author tries to touch on various social issues almost every chapter, but kinda just mentions it once and the author moves on to another topic. however, this is one of the only anime i’ve seen to talk about and slam the ecchi trope, so i like that. the mood changes really quickly in the second half, and i don’t like it as much as the first half. overall i think it is good, but it loses a lot of steam in the later chapters.

Can someone please explain why there hasn't been a Persona for women? No, P3P doesn't count because it wasn't made with women in mind, though it's pretty good.
Can someon just steal the concept of the game and make it with woman as the protagonist? IS IT SO HARD???

>>26106
omg devil survivor is so much fun, 2 is especially charming
>>26106
this pic is a bit confusing, who's getting married here?
>>27611
the teacher was hot but I felt bad about romancing her bc of the fact she's technically a nonce

I really hope persona 6 lets you actually play as a girl and tons down the agegap crap and the waifufag pandering.. or at the very least gives us an actual gay option

2 got boring as fuck for me so i stopped sorry..the mc is cool though. playing 3 and it's the same but i want to meet a character so ill keep going

i think the reason the women in 1/2 feel so good is because the games were designed with women as a target audience, according to Kazuma Kaneko.
3+ aren't, because moids are easy money for minimal effort. see persona 5.

5 actively mistreats its women in ways that make my skin crawl. i haven't finished it for this reason.

I'm a lifelong persona 3 enthusiast - p3p is amazing, femc route is perfect, I have no interest in persona 3 reload until they add femc. Not that that's ever gonna happen, given that they didn't even put femc in their shitty cashgrab dancing spinoff. (they put SHO MINAZUKI from PERSONA 4 ARENA ULTIMAX in as dlc for persona 3 dancing in moonlight. We're never getting femc remake and I guess I have to make my peace with that, but FUCKKKKKK it sucks!!! Atlus why!!!!!!!)

persona 4 is fine. Never played more than a couple hours of persona 5 at my friend's but am gonna soon bc steam family share.

I just played metaphor refantazio (persona-like but set in a fantasy world rather than japanese high school) and loved it to bits, definitely has its flaws but when it inevitably gets rereleased in 3+ yrs it'll be an 11/10 for sure.

I'm rly interested in playing persona 1 & 2, especially after hearing it's more targeted at women :)

ahhh… life as a femc fan is so dismal. time to bust out the psp again! :')

Play the games in release order (remasters are fine). But I must warn you: this series is extremely dumb and chuuni and beyond cringe if you're no longer in your teens.

Don't listen to the cynics. There's dumb plot stuff but it's all part of the wild ride and you can easily look past it and have fun if you see it that way and get invested enough in the characters

play in order nona!! its very rewarding

Simple and Clean gives me nostalgia panic attacks.

skipping Days is awful. it's super fun and missing out on more Roxas is silly.

>>31339
It inspired the genre.

Twin Peaks was adapted from Deadly Premonition.

>>34540
maybe you wrote that wrong but twin peaks influenced deadly premoniton

CV is kino

In Code Veronica you're exploring this mysterious island, you find footage of these two kids feeding a centipede to ants, you meet this crazy guy called Alfred and learn he has a sister, Alfred is accusing you of attacking the island. See that? Mystery, intrigue, who is attacking the island? You eventually find out Wesker is the one attacking the island and he now has superpowers. Then you find out Alexia isn't even alive and Alfred has been going Norman Bates. Then you end up in the Antarctic and kill Alfred, but not before learning Alexia has been alive the whole time

>Best and coolest Claire has ever looked (opening cutscene)
>arguably the best or second best villain after Wesker
>Chris' story is about personal obsession and desire to go it alone endangering those who care about him
>Claire is trapped in the heart of a recreation of Arklay
>Wesker taunts him over his failure to protect his sister and avenge his comrades
>Steve is another failure for him, his death literally benefitting Wesker
>Alexia and Alfred represent a twisted dynamic for Chris and Claire, where Alfred will do anything to reunite with his sister, only to die just before it happens
>the literal reason for Claire getting wrapped in two outbreaks is because of her search for Chris, but the one on Rockfort specifically was caused by Wesker
>when Claire meets Wesker, he describes himself as a "Ghost" coming back to haunt Chris
>Wesker acts a literal representation of why Chris is fighting against Umbrella- to avenge his fallen comrades, so when Chris meets Wesker in the Rockfort Base, Wesker beats him down because Chris has gotten sidetracked from his original goal thanks to his desire to protect his family (this also ties into the parallels between Chris/Claire, Alexia/Alfred and Steve)
