It better fucking be worth it waiting all this time.
western devs trying to masquerade as japanese is pathetic
>>735077050Oh, it's one of those games. Fuck it.
>>735077050The devs are Taiwanese
>>735077050Embarrassing post
>>735076917I heard it was too easy. I will wait for the dev to add hard mode first.
>>735076917When they fix the performance I will.>>735077390It is very very easy because the devs are copying Nier Automata rather than making a good action game. This isn't a bad thing, it's a great game. But it is definitely very easy because of how broken the main character is.
>>735076917After i clear my backlog.
>>735077050It's not, you can tell the difference because actual western devs trying to emulate anime aesthetics have negative sex appeal.
>>735076917UHHH ARMPITS AND SIDEBOOBA
>>735077302You mean they're from Taipei province of China?
>>735076917It looks okay, however I'm done with these kind of games.Hopes it does well though.
>>735076917Looks interesting but the tranime aesthetic kills it for me
>>735078058sorry about your mental illness
>>735076917SoonAdd hard mode
Too loli, too dated. If you want a decent anime hack n slash with fan service, beat em up, just stick to Senran Kagura games. Stick figure MCs are garbage and boring.
Played the demo. It was alright. I'll buy it later, as I have other games to play.
Too loli......what
>>735076917I’ll when it launches on switch
>>735077513Funnily enough I just saw their team had an interview with Mr. Taro and Nier's director Taurahttps://automaton-media.com/en/interviews/nier-automata-inspired-indie-studio-behind-homura-hime-gets-candid-feedback-from-yoko-taro-and-takahisa-taura-leading-to-last-minute-improvements/
>>735077050Its not western you retard
This game is ass
>>735078597can i play as the big bitch in the back?
>>735078597dibs
Apparently it's full of shitty story and stuff you can't skip which sucks. It's way down on my priority of games to play because of this.
>>735076917>Furi with cute anime girlsI might play your game
>>735078850First videogame?
>>735077661she cute
>>735078540To be fair, I think it's an improvement on Nier Automata from a gameplay standpoint. Homura doesn't feel floaty and laggy like characters in Nier do.But the combat in Nier is already so mid that it's not really saying much. You can dodge and parry out of absolutely everything and anything and this devalues a lot of the inner workings of good combat.Again. I'll give it another chance once performance improvements are made. There is no reason for this game to run the way it does with how it looks.>>735078850Be ready to do a lot of platforming. You can skip most cutscenes and stuff, but they are nice to be honest.
>>735078382>Stick figure MCs are garbage and boring.I agree but it's not that bad here
>>735076917The bullet hell shit is so out of place, just like Nier and Gunvolt. I still like these games, I just wish this kind of thing would be relegated to shmups.
>>735078968platforming can be fun, also good that the story can be skipped.
>>735078968I think combat in Automata wouldn't be so ass if the game actually forced you to utilize weapon switching into seamless combos, which iirc wasn't a thing at all, but would add the very needed depth, and increased enemy variety by at least threefold.
>>735077050Thanks I didn't immediately notice in this one. Westards are getting good at hiding it I guess.
>>735078382What a faggot
>>735079203retard
>>735079105I don't find it fun in this particular game. And I think fighting is a lot more fun than platforming. The combat is nice but there is more busywork and exploration than fighting.>>735079154Nah. The problem with Automata is that you're invincible as long as you don't fall asleep.In Homura (just like in Nier) most moves don't have an actual use. Hits by anything stagger only when the opponents' stagger bar is full. So you're just dancing around until you can fully deplete something's bar, and then you can fight. And when you're hitting something you'll be constantly interrupted by a lot of things. Parry the red, Dodge the yellow.Again. I like it. I think it's an improvement over Automata. But combos are useless in that game and also in this game. There is no use for combos aside from juggling an opponent with a depleted stagger bar.Much like the rest of the systems in the game it feels like it's there because other games have it. There is no use for combos. Projectiles got a cool use now because you have to deplete shields with them. It's the opposite of Nier's shield dudes that you needed to smash with melee attacks. The addition of the parry changed the dynamic in a good way in Homura but eh...Again great game they really need to fix the performance. I don't recommend anyone to get it until they fix the damn thing. There are also plenty of localization errors and general lack of polish like having the wrong inputs for QTEs if you changed your keybinds.
Reminder that they paid this guy and got next to nothing in return
>>735078007Yeah, he does mean that they're from Actually Good China.At any rate if it's Taiwanese it will be actually good and soulful. Will check it out.
>>735077050It’s not a westoid game. You can tell because the girls are actually cute and it’s not loaded with lgbt propaganda / furry garbage.
>>735079764Never heard of this guy
>>735079764don't forget to subscribe to my patreon and watch my undisclosed advertisements guys
>>735076917Opening hours feel great! Love the combat and level design. This is how gaming always should've been. The fact that productions like this still can exist in a world where corpos are trying to shove Highguard on us is very heartwarming.
>>735079764>germanic faggot is a useless scammer begging for moneyMany such cases.
>>735079764literally who
>>735079912That base rate is all you need to know.
I pirated it yesterday and did a couple missions
>>735080281Every YouTuber is a Jew and if he isn't gonna NDA his prices...
>>735077050>tfw western dev trying to make a game with anime art styleHow do I avoid /v/ shitting on me? It's not like I'm pretending to be japanese, I just like anime more than western tumblr style and want my game to look like that.
>>735079764>3 minute video>significant effortI hate e-celebs.
>>735080496Remove any and all dialogue. There are no nationalities to a wordless game.
taiwan can only emulate being weebs but they do not have true japanese soulmany such cases in the world right now
>>735080496Grind your art reps and continue to copy eastern artists. Westoids can learn the anime style, most choose not to. Or if you're outsourcing art, find some poor malaysian/indonesian. There are a lot of good artists in SEA
>>735080673>true japanese souljaps don't have soul anymorethey've been producing nothing but shit for years
>>735080496Follow the rule of cute and all's forgiven
is this chinese or japanese?
>>735080816dirtyknees
>>735080767>that shadow resolutionOof.
>>735080816Taiwanese. AKA China if it was good. Nine Sols was also Taiwanese, so was Thunderbolt Fantasy.
>>735081068none of these games have ever won goty, while genshin impact has been goty for a decade. It's over for taiwan.
>>735080816Propane
>>735077050Asians outside of Japan can usually pull it off. Americans and Europeans (picrel) can't.
I bought it because I liked the Steam fest demo; haven't played it because I'm finishing another game first. The non-stop shilling is rubbing me the wrong way (they even shat on the NG4 DLC threads). I'm tempted to ask a refund
>>735081160>decade>hasn't been avaliable for 6 years yetInteresting.
>>735081258>refunding a game because fans are retarded
>>735076917>https://store.steampowered.com/app/1820000/_/thanks for letting me know this stupid shit came out.
>>735080673Japan no longer has true japanese soul.
>>735080496Don't be a fucking coward. Let the girls show some skin. Homura Hime has pits for days and that's something. Don't listen to tightsfags, those fucking cucks sold us out early.
>>735080496>How do I avoid /v/ shitting on me?avoid bringing up your game because /v/ doesn't play gamesget shat on by /ic/ instead
>>735080673Nah, this is how you know it isn't Japanese >>735079326In a just world games like this or Nobeta would be from Japan, but these days they'd have given the characters spats or voids and there would be much less fanservice. Japan is California's bitch dog now.
>>735077661About that...
>>735081160Yes, correct. Those games are genuinely good and don't need "awards" from the Yearly Bought Awards Event. Now crawl back to the mobile slop board.
>>735081068Don't forget Rabi Ribi.
>>735079764Probably at least 10 of those 7k people bought the game though, right?
>>735076917Only if I can look at her pits in game
>>735081616I play games
>>735078164I see a Hex Maniac, I buy. Simple as.
>>735081764Her best friend is a Midna too
>>735081240Holy shit you really can tell from how uncanny it is
>>735080673Nine Sols mogs almost every jap game created in the past decade, neck yourself retard. and yeah I obviously say this as someone who plays literally 98% jap shit
>>735080496Just do what you wanna do, because you're not going to make every person happy on here or anywhere else.
>>735078164>>735081764God, she really is Hex Maniac-coded as fuck, isn't she.Good aesthetic to crib tho.
>>735080673I don't get why they use Japanese names and aesthetics if they're so good
>>735081798Damn they really killed all the footfags with this design didn't they?Based.
>>735081861Devs aren't ashamed of doing it. And I'm not ashamed of liking it.
>>735081319You would be kneeling to retarded fans
>>735076917>parry this parry that >break stance>spam vergil weebshit moveset once boss is stun>repeat againdoes it get somewhat fun in mid/endgame at least?
>>735081761what the fuck is /vst/ doing here
>>735081923The true practical joke Japan played on all you weebs was getting you all to learn Chinese through the kanji system. As much as the Sinosphere loves shitting on each other, the kanji system also lets all it's members larp each other's aesthetics very easily.
>>735082073It's... Something. The prideful display of not-a-lot is erotic in its own way I suppose. Which can also be said of her pits n' sideboob.
>>735082019what in the absolute fuck would convince a retard who says something like 'weebshit' to buy a blatantly anime game called HOMURAHIME
>>735082073I wish I could be this tastefully restrained in my character design. You ask me to design a waifu and it's all huge tits and fat asses and bikini armor right out the gates.
>>735082224She gets a form with more skin showing but it's a temporary power up
>>735079326>>735081630how the fuck is this allowed in 2026? transisters! cancel this game right now!!!
>>735080496Breast sliders / toggles / plot excuses
>>735082083Nah, chingchong chingchong still sounds disgusting to me
>>735077050Based and true. It's hard to put into words, but there's something noticeably uncanny anime art created by non-Japs.If they were honest I could forgive them, but trying to hide their western origins and masquerade as Japanese is despicable.
>>735082174anime is just chinese cartoon, silly
>>735081834nine sols has a gay shota and a furry mc so it's gay
>>735080496Use AI or pay a Japanese artist. You'll never be able to mask your origins no matter how good you get at drawing
I think this game looks pretty cute. Am I the crazy one?
>>735082482if he uses AI then it'll just be even more obvious
>>735082482Get good enough that you can laugh at people like this
>>735080496Honestly, people don't really have an issue with western devs "doing anime", it's really more that the promise of an "anime" game also promises the appearance of certain tropes and an eastern perspective on art. If you're doing a western anime game but have marvel writing, no sex appeal and western politics (not in moderation anyways) then people are going to shit on you because they feel deceived regardless of whether or not you deserve it. Nothing exists outside of a cultural vacuum and the way your game looks creates certain expectations.
>>735082279I like it when games have truly rewarding power ups.
This game is slow as fuck for gooners to jerk off to their sexy anime girls and most of the time just empty locations with nothing of interestBuy an ad retard
>>735079812>good and soulful How do island chinks do this? Every time.
>>735080496Just, like, do it? Do you have an illness that forces you to do a tumblr style?
>>735082509It's pretty cute, people just feel annoyed after we have so many games masquerading as Japanese games
>>735082174You're the retard here for replying to what obviously is a sharteen homosexual.
>>735080673
>>735080496Become an Alice in Wonderland fag or something and you'll have success.
>>735076917I tried it, it was ok.I don't think the overlap of action game fans and big Nier fans is very bigI didn't really like mashing the two together
>>735078540>Asking Taura how to improve combatlollmaoTaura has never ever made a functional combat system
>>735076917>no sexual contentDropped
>>735080496No one on /v/ actually cares. Make a game thats fun or at the very least is pleasant to look at.If you cant do either of those you had no business making a game anyway.
>>735079664Automata had a lot more wrong than floaty controls and too much invincibilityAutomata is the kind of game that doesn't even try to balance or tune the combat, they just add in a ton of items and a levelling system so you can brute force any encounter that's poorly designed or overcome poor pacing.Automata and Astral Chain were both just fucking awful and I wouldn't give Taura another game
>>735083873Balance in singleplayer games is a meme. Games are supposed to be fun.
>>735083669Look harder
>>735083921>I didn't read your post but this word triggered me so I vomited letters in response Cool story faggot
>>735083873Nah fuck off, Homura Hime has the good sense Nier did and in this case HH has a goddamn parry window that lasts for weeks resulting in much better combat feel.
wonder when they're going to fix all that freezing
>>735084004Are you angry?
>>735084065Yes, I get angry when retards respond to me when they clearly didn't read the post. This is a natural response.>>735084045>BRO PARRY THOUGH This is why action games today are such dogshit.No, throwing in a parry with a massive window that you can cancel into does not "improve game feel" you tweenage twat, it just lets the devs spend even less time on enemy and encounter design.
>>735080496Add jiggle physics.
>>735084052?
>>735085482maybe it's a steam deck thing
>>735079812I understand wanting to affirm the reality that Taiwan is a country, but calling them """good""" china is such a huge fucking lie.The taiwan government today is the continuation government of the Chinese Republic that took over when the Qing were deposed. These people were not good, or republica, or democratic by any means. Those were the people who thought that destroying dams/dykes along the Yellow River to delay Japanese advance was a valid and viable military option. ONE MILLION PEOPLE drowned instantly and countless others died of famine, disease, or simply because they became homeless. Thousands of villages wiped out just to bog down the Japanese Army for a month.That alone is a holocaust -tier event but nobody seems to care or remember. The governing political party in Taiwan has the same name and is the exact same instituation that Kai Shek belonged to.

>>735078382You need your eyes checked if you call this a loli.

>>735077661Would
>>735085982The priest loli didn't exist in the old build so they made up for it. You can even see her panties in certain scenes. Mainly when the dog lolis (who's panties you can also see) carry her off

>>735086250You don't get to play her, do you? The answer is still NO BUY. The fuck are devs so scared of puritan squad for when Nobeta is literally selling right now on fucking steam with official lewd art on X. GROW SOME SPINES YOU FUCKING FAGGOTS.

>>735086508>388,000what kind of third world currency is that?
I just finished it today, actually. It was alright. Decent mindless action. I wish it did more with how you reposition yourself via parries, which is what sold me on it to begin with thinking it'd be developed on more, but I didn't need to use it all that much, especially since there are a lot of instant teleport skills.
if I like these games will I like homura hime?
