did he deserve all the suffering?
Is this boykisser?
>>738065594Absolutely, he didn't even hug ShuanShuan before going to commit die, terrible parent
>>738065594All furry are made to suffer, so yes.
He deserved to be used as a fleshlight by human men
Yi is a savage
>>738065594DLC when?
>>738066434what DLC?
>>738065594Honestly yes, and if anything he got off easy
>>738065961This was the "oh, this is about revenge" moment and when the game starts to show more his intentions.Dude is brutal.
>>738066980>>738065961you kinda miss that kind of main character in games nowadays.
>>738066454there was a huge lore event in the Discord building up Penglai's past and a hidden post-Yi game set on earth they have to be setting up for something>>738066980tbf Yi gave them the easy way out, the tianhuo was divine punishment for eigong trying to achieve immortality, after a certain point the sols soulscapes would fail anyways and they'd all become mindless immortal zombies in endless suffering and then new kunlun would've crashed into earth and the remaining monsters would fuck up the apemen for eternity
>>738065594The prerogative of a species is to survive. Normalfags see their treatment of humans from their own monkey perspective and think it's evil, but solarians were a species on the brink of collapsing. It was only natural for them to prey on humans if it meant their species' survival. Where he went wrong is acting like a reddit scientist that knows fuck all but thinks he knows everything, and it bit him in the ass because instead of realizing for example that his sister is attuned to forces that he doesn't have enough information to control, he instead dismissed her primordial knowledge as zealot gibberish. He's a midwit, basically. And for that, he did deserve some suffering, because there's nothing worse than a midwit thinking he's a genius. But even so I consider the """bad""" ending to be more compelling. A species' job is to survive. Rolling over and dying is for the mentally ill.
>>738067202New kunlun was orbiting the sun, not Earth
>>738067315That anon is a bit dim.
>>738067315what's to stop it from smashing into earth
>>738067214the entire point of the game was Heng was right and muh taoism
>>738067498desu I would also rather nuke myself that admitting to my little sister she was right about anything
>>738067214His species can survive, they just have to let go and admit their sapience is now permanently tainted by cosmic karma and they must become domestic kitties.
>>738067445mostly the sun’s gravity
>>738067498Yes. The message of the game is garbage and divorced from reality, and it only works because the writers bent the entire world to fit the message. I still liked the game though.>>738068104That's almost like saying it's okay for humans to go extinct because there will still be chimps and blacks swinging off vines somewhere in Africa.
>>738066980>>738067093thinking about how yi is very different from other MCs got me thinking m what other characters do you guys think yi would torture/murder if he was the protagonist of other games?for an obvious example, he would absolutely fucking murder alphys
>taiwanIts misery porn isnt it?
>>738068716what a disgusting and completely irrelevant image. kill yourself
Why did they never try splicing their DNA with apeman DNA
>>738069075Goumang was trying, though it was taking too long due to her insistence in doing it the traditional way
>>738068716Mostly. The plot is your entire race is dying out and you're on a quest to kill the race's leaders before they fuck it up even worse than they already have. The theming is just "roll over and die, bro, lol!", but there are many very warm moments at least, and even some respite for the main character at the end.
>>738069231>taking too long due to her insistence in doing it the traditional wayhaving sex?
>>738065594Yes, but the other Sols deserved it more.
>>738065594Yes, what he did was quite awful and while he redeemed himself, he shouldn't be let off the hook
>>738065594>single-handedly created the matrix>tfw I will never have an AI Ji husbando to fuck for all eternity
Somehow this little indie team managed to make a morally complex character with flaws that have real negative consequences, but who is still likable and eventually earns redemptionWhile bigger studios can't seem to make a hero I don't want to punch in the face
>>738065594yes, but that doesn't justify Heng.
>>738067214>A species' job is to survive. That's just the arbitrary purpose you've decided on to ward off your existential dread. A species has no job.
He shouldn't have left behind his sister wife
>>738069864wow thanks for the spoiler dickhead
>>738069896the true ending to him finding a cure for tianhou is staying in penglai and impregnating his sister with hundreds of incest babies
>>738069842>>A species' job is to survive. >That's just the arbitrary purpose you've decided on to ward off your existential dread. A species has no job.
>>738065654yes
>>738065594Honestly, yes. The twist is, he also deserved all his joy
>>738065594All of his suffering was mostly self inflicted simply by being a retarded scientist even when he was saved by the primordial roots shenanigans
>>738065654No, it's sisterfister
>>738070115how would solve anything though?it's not like they are suddenly immune
What does Ji think of human men?
>>738065594Yes he is short so he is VERY evil
>That call from Heng where she's crying because she cut herself and it just won't heal>That final call where she's near death and peacefully wonders how her brother is and if he still even thinks about her, just assuming he succeeded in curing the virus and saving everyone because she always believes in himShe died alone, sad, scared, and assuming Yi hated her enough to not even return to try and convince her to come with him.
>>738066434They already said DLC isn't happening and they want to move on to new projects
>>738071463I don't know if including content more difficult than Eigong would be pushing it anyway
>>738071463>new projectsfrom the nine sols universe or something completely different?
>>738070885Shaunshaun would've corrected her
I hope their next project is same gameplay but a new universe. Any game set in the Nine Sols universe would either be a prequel (boring) or a game with a human protagonist which would IMO kind of hurt the ending of NS.
>>738071463Bless those chinks for not succumbing to the normalfag MOREMOREMORE treadmill. Sometimes you just make something fantastic and you let it stay that way without bolting bells and whistles to it until it no longer resembles the beautiful thing it once was.
>>738071650The latter. They're satisfied with where Nine Sols is at.
>>738072827Not him but I'm not sure why they did all that ARG shite if they just wanted to let 9S bask in its own magnificence.What was that ARG about anyway? I didn't participate.
>>738070785This anon knows.
>>738065594Yes,, he was an autistic little shut in and its all partially his fault.He was simply blinded by his own ambition
>>738071463I really hope so, the setting is concluded anything else would just cheapen it. >>738072761This, fuck normgroids watching Marvel always wanting more, always wanting everything explored and explained.
>>738066980After this he loses his edge tho. Everyone else just kinda dies
>>738073635He just had to get it out of his system
>>738074521reddit post
>>738065594>did he deserve all the suffering?Yes.It's not about the destination, it's all about the painful process.Those with great responsibility are granted hardships from heaven. One can only become a whole person after enduring mental and physical trials.What I did was help him see who he really is.He may deny it, but behind his self-rightous vengeance, he's more twisted and bloothirsty than I am.Suffering lead him to believe these truths.Honestly I'm so jealous. He can withstand so much pain, yet never die.https://youtu.be/AyNASwNjtk0
>>738067214Kill yourself, Eigong.
>Opium-smoking martial arts cats rooting through your trash
>>738072761THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
smalltinylittleitty-bittyteeny-weeny
>>738074947Eigong is just another reddit scientist, retard-kun. So much so, in fact, that she had to twist her very perspective into believing her fuckup was actually a breakthrough because she couldn't handle the shame of being a fuckup, much like a reddit scientist goes catatonic when presented with a truth that deviates from his dogma.
>>738075363Why is nobody grabbing him and seating him on their lap? Are they that much of a low trust society?
Why didnt the cat niggas just breed faster than the tianhuo could kill them
>>738075394when presented with a truth that deviates from his dogma>You say that like it's a bad thing.
>>738075995I'd ask you to elaborate but you didn't even put the green arrow on the right end.
>>738065594Is this game actually good or is it like bad hollow knight
>>738076085It's very good. Exploration is pretty linear but the combat is excellent, the bosses are all unique and interesting with the final boss being perhaps my favorite final boss of any game I've played, and the story is extremely well-told with interesting characters. You do have to like parrying though, it's pretty unflinching on that front.
>>738076085It's very good. Combat is pretty parry-focused so that might turn you away. A lot more narrative-heavy than other Metroidvanias.
>>738076085It's much shorter than Hollow Knight which means it doesn't overstay its welcome by making you explore repetitive samey mazes. Every biome is compressed and lasts for as long as it should last. Secrets are more natural to find, exploration is just overall smoother.Story is far better because Hollow Knight doesn't have an actual story, it just has a bunch of pretentious dork solse gobbledigook. Here you have real characters, real motivations, stories, growth, relationships, etc.Combat is parry-centered and relies a lot on memorization instead of adaptation but on the other hand it also looks and feels cooler when you nail it.Style is far superior. It's more distinct, it's more vibrant, it's more flavorful.Music is better. Compared to it HK's OST feels downright generic with maybe a few exceptions like Sealed Vessel.
>>738076085it is like good hollow knight with characters and a story
>>738076481Most similar games are shorter than HK because HK had two years of post release content
>>738076085It is like Hollow Knight. But good. And with parrying. And ching chong.
>>738076860You're saying it like being shorter is a bad thing. HK is bloated. I'll take 1 hour of 9S over 5 hours of HK without questions.
>>738076085>bad hollow knightIts not like hollow knight at all, its an action platformer with almost 0 exploration. The combat is more akin to something like Astlibra, and you explore the zones linearly until you find the boss and the story continues.
>>738076481>doesn't overstay its welcome by making you explore repetitive samey mazesIts incredible how you're in every fucking nine sols thread. Nine sols isn't a metroidvania, so you can't compare them like this. Its like saying "Super Mario World is so much better than Super Metroid because the maps are shorter and linear, and the secrets are more natural to find"
>>738077826>Nine sols isn't a metroidvania, so you can't compare them like this.It's also incredible how you're in every thread insisting that a chihuahua isn't a dog because it's small. And you never talk about what a metroidvania is, either.
>>738076085it's better than hollow crap but it's still metroidvania crap, with parrying this time
>>738077942Metroidvanias are 2d platforming exploration games focused on finding mostly non-linear upgrades that unlock progress, with minimal or no story locking your progression.Nine Sols is an action adventure game with linear story based progression, where every part of the story is a separated self-contained map zone. The zones are more akin to Megaman X stages with minimal non-linearity for the sake of finding upgrades.
>>738078040The metroidvania bit is thankfully underbaked though maps very linear and you can find most secrets easily
Reminder that Heng would've fucked human men had she not stayed behind.
generals belong on /vg/
>>738076085It's great, however it doesn't have the same hardcore platform sections like Hollow knight has, so as long as you master the combat and you will by force and learning the bosses, it becomes an easier game than Hollow Knight
>No other 2d parry game even comes closeThis was as closest as we ever got to 2d sekiro
>>738079793Yeah, me.
>>738079962yeah, the combat was the focus here.made some of the bosses absolutely the best fights i ever witnessed in a 2D game
>>738065594He's got all the humie cock he wants now so he's ok now
>>738082461SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEX
>>738078168>Metroidvanias are 2d platforming exploration games focused on finding mostly non-linear upgrades that unlock progress9S is that.>with minimal or no story locking your progression.Since when? Also then Hollow Knight is not a metroidvania either.>Nine Sols is an action adventure game with linear story based progressionNuh-uh. Multiple of the mobility unlocks you get from the story can be used to go places you haven't been able to go to before.
>>738083456>>738082423>>738082461cutest boy in any video game
>>738082461good thing solarians are immune to apeman seduction
>>738065594He deserved far more suffering.
>>738076085I beat it a couple of weeks ago.It's a mediocre Metroidvania but an amazing game anyway because the combat is legit fucking amazing. All the boss fights are great and the final boss is one of my favorite fights in any game and I've been playing them for 30 years at this point.The story and characters also are great, especially in a genre that usually pushes such things to the background.Highly recommend it.
What was her fucking problem?
>>738076085I think it is a lot better than hollow knight.
I'd still say Nine Sols still has its fair share of platforming challenges in certain optional areas, the warehouse, the dreamscape, and Empyrean district, just not as much platforming to something like Hollow Knight I guess.

>here's your protagonist, bro
>>738086946too big and slenderfake yi
>>738086625Chink religions and ideologies are garbage. It's surprising they even managed to make a story this compelling with something like that at its core.
>>738086625Fighting Tao is ridiculous, the thing is less of a god and more of an axiom.
>>738086946>larger glutes and thighs for superior center of balance
>>738086946why did he smoked the pipe infront of her door?
>>738086946Yi shouldn't smoke so much.

>>738086983Ok, have short yi
>>738087246>4 drinks in and Yi looks at you like thisWhat do you do?
>>738087246sure. would be cool to hear his thoughts on smartphones and apps
>>738087425plap his ass
Can some post a lot of pictures of that one sexy stretchy cat?
>>738087425he has unironic autism, he'd get flustered shout something like a retard and trip and fall trying to leave laying on the ground not saying a word while he tries not to vomit out of embarrassment

>>738089028>recentlyanon...
I just tricked a weird centaur that was kicking my ass into running straight to a wall of lasers.Can someone explain to me what in the Warframe is going on in this game? It seems the general population is cattle and used as food to the higher lords that screwed over Yi?
>>738089432Play the game more, it'll explain them. (Spoiler warning)They're also harvesting the apemen's brains to use them as power to power the dreamscapes if I recall.
>>738089432you're kind of supposed to be confused at the beginning. Most of it is explained with time.
>>738089571>>738089581Oh okay
>>738088956only men can achieve divinitywomen only exist to destroy
Apemen owe me sex
I love this game specially the final boss but there really isn't any reason to play it again
>>738076085It is hard to find loose parts of the game, everything is well thought. Visuals, challenge, sound design, and near the end of the game it has one of the best boss fights in the 2d genre (for me).You need to learn to parry. And if you don't have patience to retry you may have a bit of problem against bosses.
>>738091976maybe newgame plus has extra dialogue, characters mention feeling deja vu
>lesbo was an idiot that didn't think about the problems of putting people in the pleasure nexus and lied about having everything under control>faggo was an insane warmongering murder rapist that was addicted to body modsWhat did they mean by this?
>>738091976it's very story driven, yeah.it's only good to fight bosses again
>>738065594Idk, I dropped the game when he killed the hot evil girl.
>>738086647this is like going to work
>>738086647Why didn't they just make the simulation less good?Like, instead of plugging into a virtual paradise the real world can't compare to, why not just make it like a virtual game lobby or some shit?
>>738096671That's literally what her solution was, making it a bit shittier.
Can you people stop being gay
>>738094238Best boy
>>738097823Well she also said there were still problems with it even after she patched it, so she probably could've done a bit more.
>>738098012no?
If Yi had just stayed in that rock for a little while longer, he could've popped out when Shuanshuan was an adult, and we could've had so much more HMOMA.
>>738076481solid false flag
>>738099294>he could've popped out when Shuanshuan was an adult,shuanshuan's brain would have been harvested
>>738100219Maybe he wouldn't have been selected just yet.All we needed was a slight tweak.
>>738066980still the most based scene in this game. my HERO yi
>>738065594It was the only thing that could cure his terminal science autism.
>>738065594Good ass video game. I am hoping the devs announce a new game with more cute furry girls soon.
>>738098182Wasn't the machine first tested on like half of her own staff anyways? They all an heroed after waking up and she needed to present results quickly.
>>738091976The 'reason' would be that enough time passed and you want to experience it again
>>738100647gets me hard every time.
>>738100647>didn't give her the D
>>738073635>After this he loses his edge tho. Everyone else just kinda diesNah, he was going to kill Jiequen, the Gene eradicator or not. He didn't lose his edge there, the problem is thag Jiequen is crazy and enjoyed every fucking second of that fight. I feel he loses his edge around Lady Ethereal because of her sad past and that she wanted to die but someone (Eigong) kept her alive.
>>738067093I highly appreciated that Yi wasn't a good guy. He had his mind set on his revenge goal, even if it cost him. Also CHRIST the story is depressing as fuck. You usually get fuck-all for plot in any of these type of games.
>That healing animation>That parry sound effect
>>738065654No, it's goumang rapister
Nine buns
>>738087550Ok
Solatians got off easy, tao should made them into apemen sex slaves to atone for their sins
For me it's yisang
>>738106054Cute.
>>738106813would goumang cat
>look up the dev>they've released two other games that were apparently well received>can get one of them on Steam>the other you're stuck buying from them directly for some reason, despite formerly being on SteamWere they worth a damn, either on the gameplay or story department? I liked Nine Sols tone.
>>738107120They're horror games set in Taiwan. You can see some of the horror influence in Nine Sols, but they're very different games. Devotion is really good if you're into first-person psychological horror.
>>738107120Detention is basically a walking sim from what I've heard but it's apparently pretty good. I only know Devotion from the situation that got it taken off steam but I know nothing about it besides that.
I'll never understand people drawing cute art of the cast given all of the terrible shit that goes on in the game.
>>738107026
>>738107120I've only played Devotion and really enjoyed it. Like >>738107239 said it's also a walking sim, but it takes a lot of cues from PT (small apartment that keeps evolving and changing as you walk through the same doors) and is pretty interesting and creepy at times. Still don't get how the dev of something like that could make Nine Sols.
>try drawing on-model Gourmang>her head is just a fucking complete sphereI don't know how the fuck they drew her eyes the way they did, unless they cheated it for every angle she was drawn. Even the ingame sprite looks kinda 'eh relative to the comic/portrait pieces.
This is a Taiwanese alien.
>>738107401>Still don't get how the dev of something like that could make Nine Sols.They had to kickstart the game, so I guess they didn't have any publisher confidence either. Shame about the cut content/concepts though. Game probably didn't sell well enough for them to consider adding some of them in an update.
>>738074947I wonder what she did to fuck up a couple Solarians so bad that they ended up like Earth cats.
>>738107602The Chinese publisher for Devotion had their business license revoked because of the controversy so I think self-publishing was their safest option. Glad they pulled it off.
>>738107452>>her head is just a fucking complete sphereNot as perfectly spherical as our beloved bowling ball.
>>738107264I find the combination of cuteness and brutality to be appealing.
>>738107693Weren't the cats a result of trying to reverse solarian evolution? Which implies they started as cats? Probably just remembering wrong though.
>>738107693>>738107865She specifically removed the tianhou/primordial root genes from Solarian DNA. The children born were housecats. Implying that it's the primordial roots that grant Solarians their sentience and humanoid forms. Without it they are but beasts.
Reject Fusang.Return to cat.
>>738108008They should've just isolated the genetic sequence responsible for sentience in Apemen so they could insert it into Solarians and make a new hybrid species that could survive the Tianhuo virus.
>>738107264Fanart often grows to fill thematic or tonal gaps in the work. Nine Sols is a game fairly bereft of peace, safety, and true closure. It's no mystery why a lot of the more serious fanart leans that direction.
>>738107859Based. cute and cool are two sides of the same coin as far as I'm concerned
>>738108318I proposed they partially remove the Tianhuo gene, partially diminishing their intelligence and humanoidal forms possibly in exchange for a shortened lifespan temporarily without Tianhuo. While they would all still inevitably die Tianhuo, they'd now be able to at the very least live normal (shorter) lives until then.I imagined them as looking like one number higher on the furry scale. So like a 3 or 4 in picrelated.
>>738107859>>738108548Agreed. There's another pure misery game on the catalog and it gets fanart of the cute characters happy. Because in-universe they're never allowed to be happy, and people just want to see the poor bastards happy for once.
It's refreshing to have a protagonist with actual hubris. A character flaw means nothing if there are no negative consequences associated with it.
You all bought the physical release right?
>>738065594I dropped this after he killed Goumang
>>738110765She deserved it
