>Every iconic cyberpunk character has been a short haired petite sexualized tomboy.Why is everyone having a meltdown over Evie? Game looks sick, god hand x sekiro. Only a year away too.
>>741605252The Major is not a tomboy. That's literally the most generic female chasis on the market.
>>741605361whatever, close enough. you get the point.
>>741605520Short hair != tomboy
>>741605581Ok give me 1 example
>>741605252There is something "off" about Stellar Blade's entire aesthetic. Sexual exploitation is kino, so it has nothing to do with that. There is a cringe and soulless aspect to it that is hard to pinpoint. Something about the overall effect of many of the small design details or oversights in combination with eachother. In the end it really just comes down to Koreans are soulless and can't infuse "it" into their media creations, "it" being whatever it is that makes a work ensouled and kino
>>741605252>Why is everyone having a meltdown over Evie?Goyim are cattle and have been told to hate something, so they do without question. These are the same "people" who support things like pride parades where naked men in fetish wear walk around in public in sight of children, but a fictional character having... puffy cheeks of all things is a step too far
>>741605252The truth is they are the ones looking at a clearly adult asian character and themselves seeing a minor and then sexualising it. So they launch a public cancellation crusade just to mask their own discomfort. That explains the men. The women who hate it are just jealous roasties.
>>741605252>everyoneIs not everyone, is the same people that got up in arms for the first game, they desperate for a win.
>>741605841drunktruckdriver literally got banned off resetera and was likely a falseflagger troll. he succeeded considering that all those grifter commentary channels have made videos about this petition that... doesnt even have 100 signatures
>>741605959Oh i know, doesn't change the fact that this is what they want and what they are discussing on that thread.
>>741605707ai
>>741605707Yes everyone should shit on shift up for blatantly using AI
>>741605252too youthful, other cyberpunk characters look adult
>>741605959the odds are someone did do it based on that post even if that troll account didn't. These people are truly deranged, I wouldn't put it past them. It will of course result in nothing though.
>The face of consent
>Leftist lunatics turn out to be hypocrites that are willing to support massive corporations like VISA and Mastercard (who are friendly with Trump, Israel, and the Saudis) censoring games in order to own the chudsI'm not surprised
>>741605252>sexualizedKeep your hands where we can see them.
>>741605841Does Kiwifarms support this?
>>741606117>too youthful, other cyberpunk characters look adultPeople keep saying that but she doesn't look any younger than lucy, faith, gally/alita or a whole host of other game characters. It's fabricated outrage and you are falling into the goyim talking points.
>>741605707It does have "it". (You) just don't have "it".
>>741606160I consent
>>741605581>>741605651>pretends the hallmark design trait of a tomboy isn't related to being a tomboy>couldn't even give 1 example to support his claimanon...
>>741606526No, it doesn't. Stellar Blade is heartless, soulless paint-by-numbers slop. I would have refunded it if I hadn't actually given it a chance.
>>741606629paint by the numbers and yet there are literally no games like it.
>>741605707>>741605829only valid posts
>>741606625Tomboy is about having a boyish personality, it has nothing to do with length of hair. Women modulate length of their hair for looksmaxxing and as a fashion statement, hair length is at this point almost completely divorced from personality type.
>>741606724Anon... cutting your hair short is about the most boyish thing a woman can do. It's a literal outward facing advertisement that I'm a tomboy and not a traditional woman. No, old ladies don't count, they are just lazy and near death.
>>741606696Case in point, a lot of people immediately realized the trailer for blood rain was because of the music playing at the start, the vending machine and the mix of cyberpunk aesthetics and doll like features of the main character because quite literally no games in recent years do this.
>>741606846>>741606696ask me how I know you're a non-japanese northeast asian person
>>741606629It's the most unique 360/ps3 era action game we've received in years. Breath of fresh air when all that comes out is soulless massive open world slop every other month.
Derp Derp, not a tomboy. I'm just copying the male gender norms of my story's settings because they're fashionable. Whoops, I just picked up a stray sidekick that everybody else thinks is a boy.
>>741607065Well you're wrong because I'm a SEAnigger and stellar blade is quite literally unique in itself that so many people immediately recognized it back at SGF in the first few seconds.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvSYj5OE3kQ
Most tomboys actually have long hair
>>741605651Vivienne in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Very short hair, not a tomboy.Tifa Lockhart in Final Fantasy VII. Very long hair, tomboy.
>>741607683tomboys with short hair in the west are largely an american thing I think, often because of hollywood to contrast the girly girl and the boyish girl. I think the idea of a tomboy that has short hair was because of joan of arc, among the other boyish things she did.
>>741607254>I'm a SEAniggerchecks out, maybe you'll have a soul in the next cycle of reincarnation
>>741608325Cope. All the people reacting are whites because only whites attended SGF.https://youtu.be/eCIbqxnCumA?si=4R9evBiXvQ6gmARl
>>741607827>Vivienne in Dragon Age: Inquisitionnot cyberpunk, irrelevant to the thread>>741607827>Tifa Lockhart in Final Fantasy VIIwow you found one outlier. Name 3 more.
>>741607683>Most tomboysno, one random person you posted.
>>741607970The biggest Western influence on the tomboy is Elly May Clampet. Skinny girls with pixie cuts is more of a trend against traditional fashion in general.
>>741608774qrd? Not familiar with boomer movie stars.
Is this a tomboy?
>>741609164*chair clattering*
>>741605252>Faith's facial structure and youth look almost identical.>shes 24>no one questions it or gives a shitThis blood rain outrage is so manufactured its just fucking tiring. Sick of hearing about it already and its only been two weeks.
>>741609164no that's just a boy
>>741609267>no one questions it or gives a shitthe game came out before the woke cult was in full swing
>>741608861Long haired blonde bombshell convinced your grandma to wear jeans and wrestle men.
>>741609267You're either face blind or a raging autist. I have zero issues with a sexualized underage protag (I just don't like Stellar Blade because it's soulless plastic garbage, stuff like Senran Kagura is great), but they look nowhere near the same age. Faith looks like she's in her early twenties, and the other thing looks like it's 16 tops.
>>741609479nta but you're retardedEvie doesn't even look human because she looks like a plastic doll just like korean and chinese women
>>741609547>she looks like a plastic dollEve*
>>741609547and yet westerners say she looks like their children?
>>741609580they both have the same plastic face, my negro>>741609586twitter troons and foids are not sentient humans
>>741609618Evie is quite literally just a smaller gio scotti though?
>>741609618>they both have the same plastic face, my negroThey're not remotely close. Evie has the facial features (nose, lips, eyes, jawline) of a normal human being.Eve looks artificial.
>>741606262>leave your pure waifu clone alone for a year>she "find herself" and become this>twice.
>>741609479>but they look nowhere near the same ageIn that OP picture they look almost identical age. Same facial structure, same youthful skin, similar eyes. Faith in catalyst looks 45 and has a manjaw but thats a different game.>the other thing looks like it's 16 tops.Everyone can clearly just look at this comparison between Eve and Evie and see that she looks maybe 1 or 2 years younger than Eve tops, but its hardly even noticeable. Infact its almost so close it even almost looks like the same model with a haircut and slightly puffier cheeks. Did you also think Eve was 16?
>>741605829So the upclose undressing buttshot and the gratuitous, slow-motion spinning undercarriage butthole aerial shot in the trailer arent sexualizing her, it's my dirty mind. Alright, thanks.
>>741605361The fuck are you talking about? Motoko is very much a tomboy. She's just also a horny pervert so she sluts it up sometimes. A bunch of Shirow's fem protags in the 80s and early 90's were tomboys. He clearly had a thing for them back then.
>>741605252>Why is everyone having a meltdown over Eviebecause they've been conditioned into hating everything Stellar BladeIt's not a one sided problem, lots of people on the opposite side are conditioned into hating certain tropes, genres to fuel culture war
>>741605252Its not everyone stop being a faggot
>>741610032>slow-motion spinning undercarriage butthole aerial shotYou spent way too much time reviewing footage to come up with that phrase.
>>741605361>The Major is not a tomboyI think internet culture has rotted your brain to a point you don't even understand what that term originally means.
>>741605252What's iconic about ugly ass chink ET in bottom center? That she iconically looks like ET?
>>741610032>So the upclose undressing buttshot and the gratuitous, slow-motion spinning undercarriage butthole aerial shot in the trailer arent sexualizing her, it's my dirty mind. Alright, thanks.You misunderstood the post because you're retarded. She is absolutely sexualised, but shes also an adult asian woman so theres nothing wrong with her being sexualised.What's wrong with you is you are a closet nonce who views this youthful adult as a child and then feels uncomfortable about seeing it sexualised, because its forcing you to confront the nonce part of yourself.
>>741610202Well Faith among other things was from one of the very first parkour games alongside assassin's creed back in the day. The girl from Remember Me also had short hair.
>>741609724filters and plastic surgery
>>741610348
Young tomboys are for anal sex.
>>741610424Although all the facial features are different to some extent, the overall package resembles Evie a bit, much more than >>741610471
If Evie is a "young adult asian woman" and she's "younger than Eve" according to Kim, then how old is the latter supposed to be? 'Cause Eve herself looks 19 at the most (facially)
>>741610867Obviously around 25 or her late 20s. It checks out with most of the instagram models who look like her. Early 30s at most.
>>741610867Eve was probably meant to be around 25-ish depending on how you think of her attitude.Young woman but not a teen.That said, I'm sure that for robots the concept of age doesn't really work that way and she could be one hundred and you'd never know.So I'd say Evie is supposed to be a youthful 21.
>>741610867Eve looks about 25-27 so Evie is easily between 19-22 in terms of looks for asian women.
>>741610867>she looksYou never really had any argument its fucking insane.
>>741611019>>741610471I wonder how zennyrt feels that BR is the new protagonist. She visited shift up recently and was really shilling Eve hard and now Kim dumped her like Kojima dumped joosten
>>741609724gio needs to receive royalties from this game
>>741610867Well considering Shin Jae-eun was like 28 when she was scanned for the model of Eve. i'd say Eve is representative of a 28 year old. Whoever is the model for Evie is probably in her early 20s.
>>741611147Well people were calling evie a boy in the same manner people called gio a greek towel boy a few years back so it checks out. Would be funny if Evie was based on her.
>>741611119>born July 22, 1991Hag sex.
>>741610867>'Cause Eve herself looks 19 at the most (facially)Is this whole outrage actually just coming down to the fact that white women hate how beautiful, youthful and traditional native Asian women are? Is it really just hag jealousy?
>>741611176That probably what will settle the controversy. We need to see Evie's model.
>>741611219Gio is a man.
>>741607827>Tifa Lockhart in Final Fantasy VII. Very long hair, tomboy.Yuffie Kisaragi. Short hair. Ultimate tomboy.
>>741611342>Is it really just hag jealousy?
>>741611480Funny edit ngl
>>741605252>Every iconic cyberpunk character has been a short haired petite sexualized tomboy.Panting and sweating as you run through my corridors.
>>741607827Tifa is the diametric opposite of a tomboy, that would be Aerith. The whole conceit of these two is that the bartender monk girl is the shy trad wifey type, and the flower-selling mage is the Stacey hopping boyfriends.
They never complain about traps and shotas btw.

>>741612312good
stEvie is a massive downgrade
>>741612662he still mogs stEve
>>741610032The post-pubescent human form is sexual by nature. All sorts of physical markers grow to signal sexual maturity (boobs, ass, muscles, height, hair, etc). The reproductive systems are constantly prepping sperm and eggs for fertilization through sex. The body and even the brain undergo physiological and hormonal changes to motivate a person into having sex, and have reward parhways for sexual release.You can't """sexualize""" something that is already sexual by its very nature. It's in the same way that you can't make a monkey hairy or a zebra striped. The only thing you can do is DESEXUALIZE it by obscuring its sexual aspects.

Uhhhhhh BIG YIKIESThe biggiest of yikers!Big yikerino!
>>741610112>Motoko is very much a tomboy.Not in the animes.
>>741605707I agree about the first game but I like the look of the second.
>>741615924What's more concerning is you couldn't even assess a video game characters age or form an opinion on it before consulting your AI overlord. If you think she looks like a teenager, just say that, but posting some retarded AI wall of text makes me immediately assume you have brain damage.
>>741605252>Why is everyone having a meltdown over Evie?Tourists.
>>741615924does the answer change if you inform it that the character is of asian pedigree?
>>741619990Yes, I asked ai to account for them being asian and it said early 20s. Roasties lose again.
>>741620228>>741618135AI in general cannot be trusted when it comes to understanding human faces ironically despite it being the most common thing it's trained to do.
>>741605252Its obvious to see but have they mentioned that alita is an inspiration for evie?
>>741620858He mentioned Alita as an inspiration back in 2024, so it's clear it seeped into the sequel.
>>741605707>There is something "off" about Stellar Blade's entire aesthetic. Sexual exploitation is kino, so it has nothing to do with that.

In the end it really just comes down to Koreans are soulless and can't infuse "it" into their media creations, "it" being whatever it is that makes a work ensouled and kinoKorean society is obsessed with superficial beauty, trying to hide its ugly interior. They want to eliminate any trace of outward imperfection, but paradoxically it's that imperfection that gives things soul, beauty can not exists without ugliness. It's why you get an uncanny bad vibe when looking at Korean stuff, it's too sexy, too beautiful, too clean; it subconsciously tells your brain that they're hiding something
>>741621296The jaw shaving thing is nightmare fuel. That poor woman, she looked better before
>>741605361The Major is a man.
>>741621296how can you look at stellar blade and think it's too beautiful and too clean? Hell, the game is pretty gory for a fanservice game.
I want Evie to grind her tight ass on my dick
>>741621886
>>741621852>Hell, the game is pretty goryGore is not ugly, gore is attractive, its a big selling point for lots of people
>>741621942Not all, hell /v/ is pretty anti gore for some reason judging by how this place hates the over detailed gore of the newer mortal kombat games.
>>741621982mortal kombat being the best selling fighting game IP of all time despite its mediocre gameplay is proof that a shit ton of people do in fact love gore and always have
I'm playing Nikke right now and what SB1 really was missing was the kind of chemistry that Rapi, Anis, Neon and Shifty has. Stellar Blade is like playing only as Rapi while Adam is the shikikan who only comments sometimes and Lily is Neon but Lily only starts being talkative during the final 3/4ths of the game so most of the game the party banter is absolutely dry as hell. Nobody is bouncing off each other.They need to fix this in SB2 and actually have Evie interact with someone a lot.
>>741622664Maybe she'll have a lot of banter with Canna or whatever her sidekick's name was.
>>741622664I'm a few hours into Nikke now and the plot is almost the same too. Raptures are evolving into sentient beings and want to replace humanity. Despite being mostly a VN style, NIKKE immediately feels more interesting than Stellar Blade's. I think it was a mistake making it a soulslike with minimal story telling.
>>741606359Probably they are just as fucking gay as refagera
I'd be surprised if The Matrix is tolerated on /v/ anymore since the whole trans subtext thing became more apparent in recent years.
>>741609372And what a boy
Same plastic surgery shitpost every thread
>>741605651asuka
>>741605252Petite is about height (<5'4") and tomboy is first about personality that might be represented in appearance. Evie, Alita and Lucy are petite and only Faith is a tomboy.
non-westerners are making a video game, so we all have to throw a big tanty and pretend it's offensive, until the next one comes out (at which point we pretend we always liked this game for it's positive depiction of strong women)
>>741605707>Sexual exploitationWhy do you speak like a femceloid feminist freak?
>>741605361She is not tomboyish because that implies a juvenile attitude, but every Shirow heroine has a masculine personality
>>741625437the subtext seems to be that she's straight up just a man in a woman's body.
>>741625501well that's part of the appeal of many tomboy characters. Basically a guy/friend with benefits that you could fuck.
>>741625501She ends in a mans body at the end of the first manga and doesnt mind it
holy hell did shift up hire all of india to shill the mediocre game?
>>741626147>>741626265cute evies

How has no one brought up Neuromancer yet?Both the creators of The Matrix and Ghost in the Shell have flat out acknowledged that their characters were directly based on Molly MillionsWilliam Gibson said that he based Molly on this specific image of Chrissy Hynde, which is funny because when I close my eyes I just see Trinity. But in the story she is so fucking masculine. She's physically incapable of crying or raising her voice, the only two emotions she has seem to be "horny" and "literally murdering someone." When she's in the standoff at the end, Case contemplates that she reminds him of Clint Eastwood, which is a weird thing to think about a chick you're banging.They're finally filming Neuromancer now, after all these years, backed by a quarter billion dollars from fucking Apple. They of course hired a frumpy black british chick to play her.
>>741626457yes, my friend
>>741626843>>741627059What do you gain by believing the whole world is nothing but Indians?
>>741627005I mean if we're going there, femV in cyberpunk 2077 is pretty much a tomboy herself. especially her street punk manner of talking. She literally opens the game by having a broken nose from being in a brawl.
>>741607127Iria needed onii-chan dick really badly.
>>741605252>dogshitrunner>iconic
>>741607127I've love tomboys in white armor since '94...
There's also bubble gum crisis.Also, I know it's not technically cyberpunk, but you also had noriko from gunbuster. The 80s and 90s had plenty of short haired rowdy female characters
>>741627005I did consider mentioning her in the OP but the truth is she doesn't have any cultural bandwidth. Even compared to faith no one knows who the fuck she is. Example, you had to bring up matrix and ghost in the shell to even explain her relevance. You know how it goes anon, the pioneers always leave with arrows in their back.
>>741626457who knew the borg was indian
>>741605252She's a soulless version of the archetype
>>741625035>>741606429I was thinking that Lucy isn't really a tomboy at all. She's quite feminine in mannerism, all things considered.Rebecca's the tomboy, in spite of the haircut. She's a profane loudmouth whose favorite things are punching, shooting, and drinking. She has absolutely no idea how to express her grief after her brother is murdered in front of her, but tears certainly aren't on the list.
evie is irrelevant outside of this website and gooner circles. You lost and you lost hard.
>>741627643She isn't. I guess OP is just going with the whole cyberpunk female lead having short hair.
>>741625616that's the main theme, she's a ghost in a shell. she's been in artificial bodies so long that her entire existence is becoming less anchored to any experience of the human body. which is another argument that she isn't a tomboy since tomboys aren't confused about being female whereas motoko is facing radical fluidity about her entire identity, not just her sex. >she sexualises her female shell whilst being a paramilitary commando>effortlessly swaps between tough as nails major and cutesy/sultry anime girl
Evie is very cute…
>>741625437She has a very juvenile attitude, though.
>>741627005Shirow claims that he happened to read Neuromancer AFTER he'd already written the first chapter of GITS. He thought it was okay (but Blade Runner catching strays damn)
>>741627109the alternative would be to believe people are really excited about the game and Evie, and are coming up with AI content until the 3d model hits (and that will balance things out)
>>741627905Crazy how different major is in the manga and the anime and movies. They're practically different characters. My favorite GitS is 2nd sac and she's basically just a stoic operator there.https://youtu.be/YQIqgxeNtl0?si=JPoAsgWhbBg2332I
>evie is irrelevant outside of this website and gooner circles. You lost and you lost hard.
>>741628040
>>741627965kek, in my copy of Neuromancer, William Gibson says in the foreword that he finished writing the whole book, sent it to the publisher, went to a theater and saw Blade RunnerHe thought to himself "oh fuck people are gonna say I ripped this off" and then he was grateful the movie flopped and nobody back then saw it
>>741627728There is a contest?
>>741628215big time
>>741628046>evie is irrelevant outside of this website and gooner circlesWho would say such a thing?
>>741628563then evie won because out of all the games announced at sgf she's the only one getting cosplays and fan art
>>741627728is that why there is lots of fan-art and cosplays of her? She is the new face of SB and is already making a bigger splash than Eve & co did

>>741631190He hasn't played the game at all. He didn't even know who eve was until he got told that was the main character's name.
>>741631548Aha. So he just knew the first one had a MC with the body of a pornstar, the sequel features a petite athletic tomboy, and he concluded it must be censorship.
>>741631729Yes he's a grifter through and through that just posts whatever dribble he thinks will get clicks. Most grifters never played or had any intention of playing stellar blade

If someone told you this game was Japanese you'd be eating it up and calling it pure SOVL because you're a double standards having hypocrite with no actual values.

>>741644053I have detailed reasons at length in other threads but the problem is a fundamental phenomenological one, soulless apes aren't capable of discerning the difference between kino and soulless slop on a fundamental level regardless of how many times you explain it and minutely dissect the reason for your opinions. I'm not trying to convince you of anything, I'm making you aware that your superiors are operating on a level that you can't remotely comprehend
>>741649412You aren't fooling anyone with this titanic level of cope.

>>741649493It's self-evident, it doesn't need to be described. Just to entertain you, I will say one among dozens or hundred of reasons why these games are and will remain soulless slop. And I 100% guarantee it's going to have a 0% effect on your thoughts because we've already established that you're a discernmentless apehttps://youtu.be/Pfrc79ebEAI?t=60>Keh... Stop saying weird things.It's ESL. The people who are paid a salary to adapt the writing to English and direct a cast of voice actors to make the dub tolarable to listen to are ESL retards who can write the line "Stop saying weird things" without disintegrating from utter embarassment. It's soulless. It's slop. No-depth garbage for the lowest tier aesthetically impoverished retard coombrain seanigger and mongoloid gamers who have never had an elevated thought in their lives
>>741650109I genuinely cannot believe you posted this completely unironically. I would have died of 2nd hand embarrassment if I would have made this post. But thank you for VERY blatantly proving my point here>>741644053 completely correct given your supposed justification could have applied to any Japanese game but that doesn't count cause you're a hypocrite and you have no values. Very ironic with your cope about discernment you prove that you have literal none.
>>7416057073d is uglier and less stylized than 2d, I think that's just it. some 3d jap games also suffer from that, everything 3d nowadays uses the same standard UE5-like lighting and coloring, no more cool shiny plastic skin or other artifacts that make it soulful, everything looks the same. but idk
>>741650301There is no accounting for taste. There are apes and men of taste and there is no possible reality where the apes are made to understand what they are missing having been born the dirty animals that they are.

>>741650634You are satisfied with fundamentally empty garbage created by soulless mongoloids. There's nothing inherently wrong with that but we shouldn't lie to ourselves about it. There is a difference between kino and slop
>>741650632You lost, consider yourself conceded. Funnily I didn't even need to own you, you did it to yourself. No more (you)s for you, you have been thoroughly raped.
>>741650830>says nothing>says the person who didn't think it necessary to state dozens of reasons for their opinion is wrong because they said nothingThe funny part is you probably fully understand how profoundly retarded you are and are just going through the motions of outwardly coping like a 5'5'' rat person must necessarily cope to go on living. Or maybe you're one of the dozens of paid shills who shitpost about this trash fulltime every day. Minimum wage in Vietnam is $0.97/hr

Notice he loves preaching about logic but the second he's challenged on it the excuse he gives is the dumbest fucking thing you've ever read in your life cause you can tell he literally just made it up on the spot and was unprepared to be challenged on it.
>>741651463>hypocrisy got exposedWhere did that happen?>preaching about logicWhen did I do that?>challengedWhen did you do that?Do you understand what an opinion is? The fact that my opinion makes you so uncomfortable is the most pertinent information here.
theres gonna be a level where evie cant use her fists and only a pistol, RE style again
>>741609993>. Did you also think Eve was 16?Plenty of woke people actually did think that Eve was a child, but they've all memoryholed it now that they've been told to think that Eve was actually a stunning and brave character, unlike Evie
>>741605252>short-haired>half the pics have long hair
I'm so interested to see how this sequel ends up performing. No Sony backing/exclusivity, no double dippers plus losing Asmongold and his ilk is interesting to say the least. I'm still hoping the story, characters and overall game design sees improvements. If I have to mod in a butt, some boobs and some long hair so be it. But the game had some issues that are hard to ignore in a sequel and so far the combat looks nearly the same but faster (which is nice).
>>741652804Those levels were so dumb but I'd take 5 of those over another giant open world desert area.>>741653012I think it's guaranteed to do better simply due to the simultaneous release on PC.
>>741653012It's going to do well because it's a culture war game and right wingers actually buy the shit they're culture warring for, unlike left wingers. Blame left wingers for turning it into a culture war game in the first place by saying that Evie is a child
>>741653087>I think it's guaranteed to do better simply due to the simultaneous release on PC.I'm not convinced of that being a guarantee, it's not like exclusives do poorly or something. GTA6 is probably going to break records and that won't be on PC for years.
>>741653485>I'm not convinced of that being a guarantee, it's not like exclusives do poorly or something.Nah it's guaranteed. Sloppy seconds releases literally always do poorly due to diminishing hype. No matter the platform this is a proven constant.
>>741653468Yeah that's why I'm interested to see how it all plays out since a few right wingers like the roach king have been the ones to call Epstein on Evie. Plus the normal situation with troons and whatever. Which is why I just hope the game can fix the actual problems from the first so we can cut through this stupid discourse and just play a hopefully great game.

>>741650109She's telling Canna there to 'stop saying weird things' because Canna is literally joking and daring Evie to inject herself with the crimson sin serum, which we saw later turns people into Naytiba. It's basically the equivalent of injecting yourself with the T-virus from Resident Evil. Ergo, she's telling Evie to kill herself.As to why Canna joked about this in the first place, we don't know. She either has a really sick sense of humor or just dropping hints that they aren't affected by it because they are androids. Either way this already tells a lot on what kind of person Canna is and the level of friendship she has with Evie if she can joke about something like that to her casually.
Evie will get a naytiba trigger like raven

>>741660570>misses the point entirelyThis is why I say SB niggers lack discernment. We're having a low vs. high conversation here
>>741622664A two-month-old player here. The character writing in Nikke is so much better, it's not even close. The banter especially, is very enjoyable. I can't believe both games are from the same company Eve is almost as bland as 2B but there is no 9S to save the story. not saying it's bad but a better story would have made that 7/10 game a 9Hopefully they deliver with SB2 since they said they're taking notes from Nikke
>>741661219Your only argument is that it sounds ESL despite you not even knowing the context of why she says that until I explained it to you and nevermind that asian games are extremely infamous for weird translations, especially Japanese games, that /v/ has been debating over for decades, which as a result ends with really corny and campy lines that no real english speaking person would say in normal conversation. Metal Gear Solid being a chief example of this.
>>741661219It's really funny how pretentious you are despite how clearly low IQ you are.
>>741661651>>741661791>demanding explanations for opinionsThis is because you gookgrug niggers are inferior lifeforms. It's 100% likelihood that you aren't white which means this is a high vs. low conversation
>>741655506He was joking about the other guy retard, get a clue
>>741662216>merely pretending to be retardedReally nigga?
>>741661416I know the tones of both games are extremely different, with SB trying to mimic that somber desolated vibe of nier automata while NIKKE borders on absurdist humor, like Rapi getting her head blown off and you commenting how heavy it is as you try to escape, and generic anime hijinks but the latter is so much better off for it>Both games kill off of an important character in the first few minutes of the game>with Tachy, you just kinda shrug and say damn that's brutal>But with marian I went holy shit what is going on, it also immediately established what NIKKEs are and one of the main conflicts of they faceSB2 needs to completely change its approach to character dynamics because it was one of the worst aspects of the first game.
>>741661416The characters are generally the best part of Nikke but I think the story writing is overrated. It always feels to me like the writers are just making shit up as they go and have no clear direction of where they want the story to go.

>>741662390Tbf, that's a common issue with many gacha. This is because they aren't writing an overarching plot that will eventually end in the future. They are writing what they think will sell characters better for this month and the next and they repeat the process until the plot gets tangled into an incoherent mess a year later after launch.
>>741662610I think it's a bigger issue with Nikke specifically because of how the story is structured like one long continuous stream of things happening rather than having a bit more organized structure split into dedicated arcs that have proper narrative beginning, middle and ends like a lot of other gacha have. Leaves events feeling a lot more all over the place and directionless.
>>741662390Yeah that's pretty much gatchas for ya. They just spin their wheels endlessly until the game eventually goes EOS. All the while pretty much every part of the game suffers. At least other gatchas I've played like GBF it does thing more in arcs that are a lil separated from one another.
>>741662390>I think the story writing is overratedThe anni events I played so far, OId Tales Red Ash and Overzone were very enjoyable. Better than the story of every gacha I've tried that isn't FGO, hell I'd say it's the most fun I've had with anime game story since Xenoblade 2
>>741662989Yeah exactly. I think having a bit of structure would help Nikke a lot. It's telling that the pretty widely consider best parts of the story are all the flashback anniversary events which just happen to have nice self contained narrative structures. GBF is like that, FGO is, BA, AK all the gacha people talk about having good stories are like that.>>741663085>The anni events I played so far, OId Tales Red Ash and Overzone were very enjoyable. Yeah this is what I mean. It has it's moments for sure I'd not take that away with it Nikke's story is never really bad but I think it's lacking in a few ways to really set it apart.
I wish so hard they get cosmograph to do some music>Download the game>Get hit with this bangerhttps://youtu.be/LfyBMo05wgU?si=Zx0mx9p8O6xDFPVzNikke and stellar blade to a degree is so unapologetically 2000s, I love it

Why can't Stellar Blade have normal threads? It's even full left the shitting up the thread, or it's full of Anti Korea schizo, nigger ass schizo, Eve is my wife schizo, Nier Schizo, ect...
>Mid Blade>now with tomboySeems like they improved on the formula, still selling slop with fetish I like is not much different from selling slop with fetish I don't like. But the reason I don't shit on stellar blade is because they at least had the balls to make a demo so everyone could see if the bimbo was enough.
>>741663240Yeah I'm also not the biggest fan of the flashback events anymore cause they all feel so similar to one another. And they're flashbacks so we already know everyone here is fucked beyond belief. But yeah back to SB, I certainly hope they've learned a thing or two over the years. The bleak tone they wanted to go for will not be lost just because you have some moments of levity, again just take a look at nier automata or shadow hearts. If anything some lighter moments here and there will help to make the bleakness hit harder when it needs to. If you gave us even 5 mins of dialogue with Tachy at the start that wasn't "Eve, the mission" it would have been much better. Also this is an action game, in my opinion, these should have a more fun tone. Even like GoW understood this very well, shit is dark but it's fun sometimes like Kratos keeping people's heads and appendages to solve puzzles.>>741663923Culture war, so no, it cannot.
>first boss in nikke is a blacksmith>first boss in blood rain is a mech that looks like a blacksmithA bit too on the nose but fine
>>741664069There was hints of it with the silly can collecting which I liked and fishing was fun so I hope SB2 has more fun with itself without trying to be super tryhard. Some brevity will go long way.
>>741664259They put those burst sealing fuckers in sb1
>>741664362My favorite interaction is funnily enough in the nikke dlc, where one of Eve's bursts is calling in the drop ship and Adam and Lily gives a big corny thumbs up before raining bullets down on the area. It's that kind of silliness that was missing from their in-game interactions.
>>741664381
>>741664362I loved the end of the fishing quest actually got a real laugh out of me. Bro was just like "Yeah I did all this to see you in this swimsuit." The can collecting was close but they needed a scene of someone else reacting to it. It came off more like "action games have collectibles right? we should probably have one of those then, right?">>741664723Thanks for reminding me, I turned off the dlc shit at the start of the game and beat the whole thing without turning them back on. So never got the nier stuff or the nikke shit. Definitely need to do another playthrough.
>>741664723kek yeah I remember that. Makes me wish there was more content involving Adam and Lily to make you care about them more.

Ask anyone that says Nioh 3 sucks what their favourite TN game is and they'll always say Nioh 2. The hate for 3 is just 100% 2fags who seethe at every game since 2 for not just being a blatant copy/paste of 2 again and every criticism can be boiled down to "it's not 2".
