ITT Great games ruined by their aesthetic
>>722737825pic unrelated
>>722737825Yeah, I've heard this one is pretty solid but the generic moeslop aesthetic looks so soulless.
>>722737825River City Girls.The gameplay looks solid and fun, but the enemy designs are atrocious and the main character designs are putrid. What could have been a solid modern brawler ruined by porn addiction. Shame, shame.
>>722737902what are you even doing here
Most western farm sim.
>>722737825are you gay?
>>722737825It's more like great games being ruined by jarpig shit, removing the jarpig elements and making the game a linear arcade style would easily turn it from a 3/10 to a 10/10
>>722737941All anime art styles are not equal. Rabi Ribi, Nekopara, Senran Kagura, Hyperdimension Neptunia; they're all among the worst offenders of the kind of aesthetic I'm referring to. Just so soullessly bland and safe.
>>722737825card-en-ciel
>>722737825Yeah they listened to you and hired the RWBY artist for the next game and that went great didn't it? I'm glad the game kinda sucked and they're going straight back to rabi ribi 2. I don't give a FUCK if you don't like the aesthetic, it's not "ruined" it's just not for you. Trying to omni pander is how they lost their audience.

>>722738430Nta but what game tevi?
Hollow Knight, probably (it looks too gay, can't play it)
>>722737825Agreed. And it's not the promo art, the promo art looked fine. If the game looked like that, I'd get it. But it doesn't, it looks atrociously bad.
>>722737825other way around, great aesthetic ruin by the game
>>722738721Yes
>>722738721Yes. She's also credited as the writer and one of the three main creators though. Not sure how much influence she had. It's probably unfair to say that everything that went wrong with the game is her fault, but the game is obviously worse than Rabi Ribi so maybe it is. I don't know.
>>722738264>All anime art styles are not equalhonestly, this is wrong and all anime styles are equal. you see anime on the cover and you know it's trash and not worth playing, without exception.Deleting the anime would be the first and biggest step to making games better across the board.
>>722738797It's an incredibly low budget game where half the songs were royalty free on release. The fact that that it turned around into such a success where they got a fucking orchestra to play their soundtrack and then fully voiced their next game with high profile JP VAs is a miracle.
>>722738264That fucking hilarious coming from a Ryukishi07fag
>>722737825>>722737924>>722738384Ruined? You mean elevated?
>>722738918yeah it shoulda been brown n bloom calladuty graphics
>>722737825The ONLY good thing about this trash is aesthetic.
>>722737825>main story is practically non-existent>post-ending content is bullshit "challenges" with spikes everywhere and dying in two hitsNah this game is anything but great.
>euro hours>every post is made by a raging homosexual like clockwork
>>722738797>it looks atrociously badplay more games
>>722737825Rabi-Ribi's aesthetic turns it from an 8/10 into a 10/10
>>722738997if you read higurashi with anything other than the og sprites you have no soul
>>722738918>Deleting the anime would be the first and biggest stepSAAR
>>722737924On the contrary, RCG's art is great, but the gameplay is mediocre at best.The real problem with that game though is the abysmal millennial writing.
>>722737825Reminder.
>>722745734The elf gyaru bitch on the right is unironically 1000% better if you aren't a low test pedo, desu.
>>722745734Let's hope they don't fuck up the Rabi-Ribi sequel, but I'm not very optimistic
>>722737825nice reverse psychology
>>722745868>elfYou haven't actually played either RR or Tevi, have you?
>>722738264contrarians are so retarded
>>722738915The worst part of the game is the story because it wrangles the levels into being almost straight lines with little variation in how you explore. RR's greatest strength was essentially uncuffing you the moment you reached town and letting you truly go anywhere but Tevi tells you to follow the prescribed path or else. It doesn't help that the story itself is middling at best.Some people say the bosses were worse too, and while I get that, I still think they were mostly on par with RR. The Badge system was perfection, I hope that gets brought over.
>>722738997soul lost
>>722746257Who said anything about playing the games. I don't need to pass judgement on the aesthetics.
>>722745912Designs already censored right off the bat.
>>722746571>Who said anything about playing the games/v/ gentlemen and gentlemen
>>722738264This guy thinks Comboy Bebop's dub is good btw.
>>722737825>ruinedMade better you mean?
there is no game with good gameplay that is unplayable because of its aesthetic. it's a moronic thing to let get in the way.rabi-ribi is not ruined by its aesthetic in any way.
>>722745912>characters have pants onRabi Rabi Island has fallen.Millions must die.
>>722738264>>722745901>Umineko and Undertale subhumans agree with each other Unsurprising
>>722746782>there is no game with good gameplay that is unplayable because of its aesthetic. it's a moronic thing to let get in the way.Show the average weeb here a modern Western game and see what happens.
>>722738918Back to the sharty with you
>>722746571retard
>>722745734Tevi looks better on all accounts and only most moe brain rotten contrarians would think otherwise.
>>722737825I love bunnysuits and fanservice but this games artstyle and general presentation looks so amateurish and ugly that I never even considered playing it
Expedition 33I wish Squaresoft made it instead
>>722745734This is why you can't just blindly trust AI sentiment analysis. You gotta actually lurk where the data comes from to spot false positives
>>722747787It's a sleeper vidyaway better than it has any right to be
>>722747782They had a higher budget. They also had an art and writing lead with insufficient eros. I really don't understand why westerners act like creation can be divorced from the will to create. As if the thing, just to satisfy some purity requirement, has to be just a word floating in an empty void with no substance.
>>722737825OP, you could just say you're gay, nobody is judging.
>>722738430Anon, they hired the RWBY writer, not artist. The artist is still waero, just like Rabi-ribi.
>>722747782Yes, no one is arguing that the sprites aren't higher fidelity. The problem is the art style of the character portraits, and the focus on the shitty story, which significantly damaged the game by making a metroidvania into a largely linear affair.
>>722748806Why are you just flagrantly lying? Waero was not the artist for Tevi.
Tevi doesn't have a real bunny
>>722748986Nigger, he LITERALLY is in the goddamn credits and said that's why he was absent for so long on his patreon
