>>579096274A solar flare, then? Like in Sunshine.>>579096665NEED SPANKINGS
>>579096991You want to get incinerated or something?
>>579097129yes pleaselet the pain end
I want a opinion on the GAMEPLAY
>>579097316Not that I am suggesting anything but you do need to try and assault a loli for that, anon.
>>579097431Go to the previous thread and play it yourself then.
>>579097441It wouldn't fix my alcoholic addiction, the 6 meds I take everyday, and the voices in my head telling me to murder the Queen.
>>579097431Massive upgrade over SvS and GMR from everything I've heard and seen from others so far. It's fun. Biggest issues are the early and late fuckhuge difficulty spikes and the potential for cheese (juggling, stunlocking, step dash cancel tomfoolery) even if it's nowhere near as gamebreaking as in those games. Biggest positive is the game actually being nice to play from the very beginning.
https://x.com/pyoiiiinnn/status/2093266198347878715 testing
>>579097648I cannot offer any solutions to those problems, unfortunately. I can only say try to force yourself to stop drinking.The queen has been dead for a few years now.
>>579097803>Biggest issues are the early and late fuckhuge difficulty spikesAre you upgrading your processors? Everything felt like huge damage sponges and the chapter 2 Arfoire fight in particular nearly fucked me up, but almost fully maxing out a set makes everything die pretty quickly now.
>>579098092Oh I'm just reporting what others have mentioned since I haven't had the chance to play yet. Early on it seems to be what you mentioned, but apparently there's another spike later because the boss levels get really stupid (98 for the last boss if memory serves).
>>579098092>Everything felt like huge damage spongesSo they went from one extreme to the other then?>almost fully maxing out a set makes everything die pretty quicklyOr are they just very heavily incentivising upgrades?
>>579098040The queen's dead?There goes my bucket list.Also I'm exagerating, I don't drink. But I do take a lot of meds every day and I feel useless to society.>>579098020CUTE
>>579098306>98 for the last bossOh that's rough. I guess I'll do the Nep towers before beating the game then.>>579098536>Or are they just very heavily incentivising upgrades?This one. I was ignoring them early on because I was expecting them to have silly requirements but it's pretty easy to max pieces out if you've been sending out scouts to gather the mats.
>>579098625You can laugh about my jokes here on 4chan and feel useful again.
>>579098625I cannot speak on the meds. As for feeling useless, for what it is worth, chances are I cannot even sell my soul to the government and the things I can do, I am not good enough at to be paid for, so I am pretty worthless as far as society at large is concerned. Not really sure what I am going to do in the future because my appeal is almost certainly not going to work. One of my friends in almost convinced that me not working is divine intervention lol>>579098647SEX>>579098994Well if I start struggling when I get around to playing it, I will know why at least, cheers.
>>579097431Now that you aren't required to do combos and switch to other characters over and over again it feels pretty good.
i love my wife histoirei wanna play, but i don't know japanese...
>>579102551Don't you have a phone?
>>579102551I'm using a capture card with MTL and it's 90% coherent. It only really struggles with names.
>>579103615>textbox>take out phone and take picture>get translation>next textbox>take out phone and take picture>get translation>rinse and repeat for the whole gamei'll wait
>>579104149What service are you using? I'm using the Sugoi v4 model and it's... serviceable at best.
>>579104164So much for love...Fair enough, if you know absolutely zero Japanese then it would get a bit tiring. Going to be stuff in battles too, probably. I was basically doing this for Amagami though, it is not too bad.
>>579104678i recently started studying japanese again actually. i should've started sooner so i could play knowing a solid amount of words
Two games I was excited about all year came out on the same day. Unlimited being good and the other one being a disappointment feels like someone flipped the world upside down while I wasn't looking. Tamsoft, what the fuck are you doing?
>>579098647Cute. Sauce?

>>579104164Emulate the game, download Luna translator and set on OCR mode. it's free.
So I just saw the trailer, they fucking burka'd up Blanc. And they're ripping off Biolizard SA2 finale.

>>579109302Adventure 1 is better. I know Biolizard. Where was the ripoff? I do not remember seeing anything like it.
Mahobros our goat is mentioned in unlimited.
>>579112715Awfully vague.
>>579112715oh pish posh
>>579112715They're skirting around it. Uzume technically gets bought up too.
>>579112715>>579113542
>>579113596For Maho it's Nepgear saying that she tried asking her for help but she didn't respond at all (all the Goddesses were ghosting the Neps at the time), and the PC Continent gets mentioned again in that screenshot. The glossary entry for it mentions that Nepgear is friends with the Candidate there.For Uzume they were talking about being able to basically wish something into existence. There's a choice for Neptune to mention she's seen something like that before or just not bring it up at all.
>>579113302not vague at all
how's the histoire screentime?
Do the choices you make matter in any way?
>>579114592Oh they are doing the highlighted dialogue thing. Fair enough.
>>579115020I want to say they're fluff, but I've had one that made me wonder if they do actually matter.
>>579115601It being a Japanese game is reason enough for me to assume the choices do not matter. If they do it is probably just to tally them up for the endings. Are they all choices for Neptune?
>>579115007She features a lot in the first few hours, at least.
>>579118468Just Nrptune.

>>579114306You know, whatever happened with Uzume, canonically speaking her wish powers could've just sent the meteor away single-handedly
>>579097803>the early and late fuckhuge difficulty spikes and the potential for cheeseclassic neptunia
>>579074038I was asking more if the old base processor sets like Lost Purple were in. Some poster a while ago implied that they were and processor parts were changeable again unlike in SvS and GMRE.I think you’re exaggerating Uni’s role in getting the Re;Births banned from Switch in the west. It was probably a whole host of things that Nintendo objected to, which would be why IFI opted to cancel the whole release and eat the loss because there was just no way to release any game in the trilogy in a form that would be suitable for selling. Nintendo’s standards are so asinine now that they literally measure characters skulls and will ban games if they look “too childlike”, as shown with Brave X Junction, Menhera Farm and Kamikaze Lassplanes, all of which showed that just about ANYTHING remotely risqué in the trilogy could have set Nintendo off, from the CGs, the skill animations with pantsu angles, the swimsuits, Iris Heart’s antics, and even just possibly Neptune herself. Uni and her skimpy processor was likely just a small factor in what led to the bans; what really makes it seem like it was just impossible was the fact that even Re;Birth 1, which has no real ecchi CGs aside from Compa’s bandages and no Trick or Iris Heart (except as a bonus character) STILL couldn’t make the cut. If they could have sold any one of these games that they could they almost certainly would have rather than just kill the whole trilogy and make it a total loss, but the fact that they did that tells me there were just so many things Nintendo demanded to be changed or removed from every single game in the trilogy that IFI ultimately decided the whole thing was a bust. Compile Heart really ought to just ditch Nintendo, but because these companies are constantly going back and forth on what they will allow and who’s censoring the most/least at the moment, devs are almost universally just taking the path of least resistance and censoring to the lowest common denominator.
>>579150992A really unfortunate part about nu-Nintendo is that I'm fully expecting whatever weebshit sales Playstation still does get are going to turn completely off once they kill physical. It's absolutely more of a lifeblood for this subset of games than other stuff, people like their JRPG LEs and whatnot.
>>579147449Uzume has very little control over her own powers, she can’t just rewrite reality on a whim. She has to be “daydreaming” for her thoughts to affect reality, and if I recall Neptune actually tries to force it one time and fails, partly because of Uzume’s own mental blocks since she wants to be “cool” but when she’s daydreaming about something it’s almost always something cute or silly and then she feels embarrassed. Kurome had much greater control over the power to where she could freely manipulate things like gravity and spawn clones of Arfoire and the CPUs within Heart Dimension, but even she clearly has her limits or Rei’s power fragment wouldn’t have been necessary for her to merge Heart Dimension with Hyper Dimension.
>>579151529Don’t worry, Nintendo are gearing up to kill physical themselves once sales drop low enough. Game Key Cards are the very obvious foot in the door.
>>579150992Those look about as big as Vert's.
>>579152410Purple Mommy mogs Vert the fujo in every way that isn’t fapping to gay sex. You want a real sexy oneesan, look no further. Just mind the fact that she’s going to spend 80% of her time as a dumb (smart) gremlin (and will probably tease you with it too).
>>579153620The teasing can and should stay but we need to go back.
>>579151529There’s nothing stopping them from selling physical LEs on PC like with Tokyo Clanpool. IFI also sold a PC LE for the Re;Birth trilogy through their store back in the day, but instead of a proper physical the games were Steam codes.
>>579157730please give me disk without the steam drm
unironically playing the first game for the first time, wish me luck.

nep is deadthe game is actually look good for a switch game
>seeing nep turn purple heart in unlimitedi think my heart just jumped a little bit
still kinda stiff, but i like it. feels more modern compared to the sprite work of the olden days
>>579176484>>579176971Still feels like it’s trying way too hard to ape big-budget Chinese gachas like Genshin Impact. “Modern” is not necessarily a good thing, and in fact more often isn’t, and I’d call this UI modern in the bad way.
>>579167462That's a big ass bug
>>579177265i still think its a big improvement compared to the rebirth games. i think i need to replay SVS to see how much was the recent improvements.>trying way too hardcompa just needs to hire competent animator, thats all.>modern boogiemanget with the times unc.
>>579177265It's cute and cool. I don't give a shit about what it's copying, it works here.
https://x.com/SO25976268/status/2093626883799941445 nice bug
>>579096493nepmans
>>579177430I genuinely prefer the Re;Births and VII’s UI to this. Here there’s way too much empty space, distracting animations, text too small, important parts all over the place, stuff constantly moving around, etc. It’s a lot more busy and confusing than the older, simple UI with a model viewer to see your weapon and costumes. Again, “modern” is not good, because modern games suck ass and you shouldn’t strive to be like them.

TONIGHT
Nepgear should go back to receive the same treatment she got in RB3
>>579182857This but your mom instead of Nepgear.
>>579154549give her more of a butt, but sure
>>579184294Give her more spankings.
>>579150992>I think you’re exaggerating Uni’s role in getting the Re;Births banned from Switch in the west.absolutelybut let's face it, when this thing is the first impression the censors get for a game, that thing basically stands no chancemoreover, it's funny because Rom and Ram are supposed to be the pedobait when they can't hold a candle to Uni in the slightest once she starts showing some skin. Swim Racer is the sexiest swimsuit in GMR and i will fight over this
>>579167462>STILL no titsi dont feel like we're winning broswould be funny if that was just her wearing a big ass robe tho
>>579181173i think adding the new animations with the old HUD style would be nicethey totally are just sorta going for that "minimalist" look that I think Nintendo popularized when they decided to fire whoever on the art team was working on the HUD. not entirely because it's not just all white text, but still. small.
>>579184651They saved the tits for everyone else. Purple Sister got a nice upgrade.
>>579176224How's it compare to the PS4? I'm sort of considering waiting for the PC release, depending on how long they take to localize it...
>>579181250MASTER OF NEPPERS I'M PULLING THE STRINGSTWISTING YOUR SHARES AND SMASHING YOUR MEMES
>>579182857But that's part of what got her over. People felr sorry for her getting unfairly bullied.
I LOVE BLACK HEART. I LOVE THE WAY SHE TALKS. I LOVE HER JAPANESE VOICE AND HER ENGLISH VOICE. I LOVE THE WAY SHE SAYS SHE HAS TO BE THE ONE DOING EVERYTHING. I LOVE HER REAL NAME WHICH IS NOIRE WHICH IS APPROPRIATE BECAUSE I ALWAYS FEEL NO IRE WHEN I HEAR HER. I LOVE THE WAY HER CLEARLY SOFT AND SILKY WHITE HAIR FLOWS. I LOVE THAT SHE'S 160 CM WHICH IS IMAGINE TIER BECAUSE I AM WAY TALLER THAN HER. I LOVE THAT SHE USES SWORDS BECAUSE IT IS MY FAVORITE WEAPON TO USE IN ROLE PLAYING GAMES. I LOVE THAT SHE CARRIES THE TEAM WITH GOOD ALL ROUND STATS. I LOVE THAT SHE TRUSTS ME ENOUGH TO HELP HER IN HER GAME WHEN SHE LOST ALL HER FRIENDS. HER SWORD IS REALLY NICELY DESIGNED IN HOW SIMPLE IT IS AND IT COMPLIMENTS HER NICE ELEGANT FIGURE. SHE HAS PERFECTLY SIZED HIPS AND BREASTS FOR HER FRAME. AS SHE WEIGHS 45KG SHE IS PRETTY LIGHT WHICH WOULD MAKE CARRYING HER TO A COMFORTABLE PLACE EASY WHEN SHE GETS TIRED FROM WORK. NOIRE GETS ALONG WELL WITH NEPTUNE WHICH IS NICE. I LOVE THAT SHE IS FRIENDS WITH BLANC AND VERT. I LOVE THAT SHE LIES ABOUT BEING OVERWORKED BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T WANT THE OTHERS TO WORRY ABOUT HER BUT WE ALL KNOW WE HAVE TO DO IT ANYWAY. I LOVE THE EAGERNESS SHE HAS WHEN DRAGGING ME AROUND TO SPEND THE DAY WITH HER. I LOVE THAT EVEN THOUGH SHE SAYS MEAN THINGS SHE CARES ABOUT HER FRIENDS.

All Twitter posts of Nep Unlimited are just people going for panty shots
>>579199170this dude mention he find amusing they model her all the way to the belly button
>>579199170No pantyshots means the game has lost its identity. I would argue Neptune's striped panties are as iconic as anything else in the franchise.
nep status?
>>579184294On this, we agree. At the very least they need to be more toned/defined but a slight size increase would be quite welcome.>>579184651Histoire is not supposed to have cowtits. that would be a huge loss.
>>579199170Yeah, those and the odd silly video are making the rounds big time from what I'm seeing on the JP side. Looks like people are quite happy with the game.

>>579211491You know were not in competition with them, right? Such a sad case that it died because of Takaki (I think that his name) being a Sony Pony and them not doing anything with the franchise. Then again, it might have only been a matter of time even if they did go to Nintendo.

Anyone know JP able to translate the latest Dengekiko article getting info on Uni's new design?
I'm still pissed we lost the sexier old HDDs for shitty NEXT redesigns. I get we had 10 years, but it's gonna suck seeing the former getting phased out of fanart.>but they can just bring back the old costumes as DLC/unlockables!That doesn't actually solve the problem.
>>579212746I prefer Wyn.
>>579218473>it's gonna suck seeing the former getting phased out of fanartThis will probably not happen.
>>579218978I prefer Wynn.
>>579219493Fanartists drew the censored version of Capella Emerada Lugunica instead. It'll happen.
>>579096493ok so when they first reveled the new designs months (or years ago? Idk) and saw how tone down they were compared to the old ones I lost interest in the game.But these days my twitter feed is full of people posting pantyshots like this anon said >>579199170 and I first thought people were taking these with the free cam hack until it hit me that they were playing on the switch 2I didn't follow the news of this new game so can anyone answer these questions:>Is the game really censored?>How good is the photo mode? Do characters disappear if you try to take a upskirt?>can you use the old CPU designs?>are the outfits for flat chested characters like Rom and Ram censored?is the game fun?
>>579220362I guess it depends on how long the new units stick around. The only one that got replaced was Purple before. All the others from V got forgotten.>>579220409We saw a bit of Neptune and Nepgear's new designs at the start of last year, I think it was but nobody else's. The actual reveal was August last year if I remember right.Pantyshots were never going away entirely so you should not be surprised by all the upskirt images.>can you use the old CPU designs?Probably not. They might be unlockable somehow but if they do not pop up before people start finishing the game and they are not a new game plus reward then they are gone.>censorshipSome designs are covered up compared to previous ones, the only visible skin on Blanc is now her shoulders for example and I will always be upset at this even if her covering up makes sense. Ram/Rom default processors are the same, just exposed shoulders.>spoilerI only went to the main menu so I cannot answer that yet. A couple of anons seem to think so though. I doubt I will like this battle system though but it seems to have removed at least a couple of my gripes with the SvS system.
Important question, though: does Unlimited have eggplants
>>579225502The eggplant farm itself (snowed over) makes a return, yes.
>>579225668Is IF bitcher than usual in this game?
Guys, is it fucked up with I want to eggplant If
>>579226613No, wanting to abuse and violate IF is perfectly normal.
>>579226613Yes.
>>579220409>Is the game really censoredIn the sense that it deliberately avoids anything that has been known to trip platform censors in the past, yes. Pre-censorship, self-censorship, whatever you may call it, but all the designs are more conservative now (you can especially tell with the lolis and loli-adjacents like Uni that they were deathly afraid of showing any amount of skin on them in a way that might be seen as sexualizing), there are no fanservice CGs or skills, and even swimsuits seem to be gone after Nintendo censored them in Riders. Granted, this is just par for the course for any Compile Heart game made after 2019/2020; SvS and GMRE were mostly the same aside from having the old HDD outfits instead of these toned down redesigns.As long as even one of the major platforms is censoring you’re never going to get the old Compile Heart back. Even though PlayStation is okay with Re;Birth/VII-level fanservice now, Nintendo suddenly isn’t and Compile Heart clearly want to sell their games on the western Switch eshops and will make any changes they feel is necessary for that. In fact their current president straight up said a couple years ago that they make all their games with the intention of selling them in the west from the start, so self-censorship is official policy at CH and they are absolutely not going to include anything that might compromise a western release on any platform.Given all this, if this is a big deal for you, then you may as well give up Compile Heart and look for another series or company for your cute girls JRPG with fanservice. Good luck, though, because unless you’re willing to go to gacha trash almost every Jap company is self-censoring to at least some degree, it’s just what happens when the price of not doing so is Sony/Nintendo/Steam calling your game horrible child porn, pulling the rug out from under you and destroying your ability to make any profit.

>>579249531I want to play more and being fair I am playing on an emulated version with MTL so I can't really be secure yet but so far it's really good. My complains are about what isn't there, rather than what is.
>>579248102>west pandering slop Hasn't that just been like the entirety of Japan ever since they got nuked? It's a pretty cucked country.
>>579250701No, just since COVID brought in a bunch of western money and Jap suits started salivating. How do I know? Because almost every time a pre-COVID Japanese game is ported or remastered/remade, it gets censored or banned by modern western pussy standards. Compile Heart themselves used to say they wouldn’t release games in the west if they had to be censored, until Sony turned them into The Raped.

Other goddesses in Unlimited - There's a segment in Chapter 5 where they need to talk to Uzume but don't know where she is. Noire is then used to channel her spirit (long story,) but at first they accidentally connect to Plutia and wake her up from a nap. It's all Noire's VA acting like the characters.
>>579251319Out of curiosity because I've been feeling it too, how long do you think we'll have to wait to see a return to what it used to be pre-pandemic if ever
>>579272142They also throw in a line about how Uzume's power control problems started after she touched a meteor fragment that fell during events similar to the one causing trouble in Unlimited.
>>579272447what about anri?
>>579260315I was not. Some animefags on /a/ were, but as far as video games go we were getting ecchi games pretty consistently right up until Sony started censoring.>>579272380At least one of two major things would have to happen before we could experience any sort of real otaku fanservice game renaissance.A). The west takes the stick out of its ass regarding straight male sexuality and allows the games to release uncensored again.B). Japan’s own position and market stabilizes and Japanese devs and companies feel more comfortable pushing back against the west and making games primarily for Japan’s market again with western sales just as a nice bonus if they happen.A is very unlikely. The west’s increasing intolerance towards any sort of unapproved sexual expression is driven by numerous socioeconomic factors, among them the collapse in social trust, the countless scandals regarding people in power, the increased visibility of everything via social media, and how social media just feeds witch hunting in general. There’s a moral panic going on and while some people like to call it the next Satanic Panic, it has a key difference; the Satanic Panic, along with the other panics in the 80s and 90s, was driven primarily by old, crusty boomers and soccer moms who the younger generation were all too happy to tell to fuck off the moment they got a chance; this was the last era of real counterculture like heavy metal which existed basically to be one gigantic middle finger to the sentiments of the time.However, this moral panic has the youth’s full participation. When you get hounded on social media for liking “diddy blud anime”, it is ALWAYS a zoomer or later millennial. The most rabid anti porn elements in both American political parties are now the younger members and not the boomers. Because of this, the idea that this will just blow over like the panics of old did is naive; it’s just going to get worse as these people enter more positions of power.
>>579272380>>579276267B is more likely than A, but unfortunately not by much. Japan is an island nation that is largely dependent on imports and foreign investment. Their economy had been declining since the 90s, but COVID really pushed them straight into the shitter. At the same time, the west was looking better than ever as a market with anime’s foreign income surpassing its domestic income for the first time ever. Hence why everything is made for the west now. It doesn’t help that much of what remains of the domestic market has been chewed up by gacha. I’m sure the Japanese would be more inclined to make ecchi games for their market if every time they did the Famitsu sales didn’t say 3.5k now when a decade ago they said 50k like with Moero Chronicle on Vita (which had an Asia English release to get some western sales as well). It would also help if they stopped having bitches like loocalizers and consultants in their ears telling them do stupid things like black voids, “ethics” compliant swimsuits like in Final Fantasy, and putting ugly brown and gay people in their games to pay tribute to muh diversity, but again, those are just a symptom of a larger problem which is that Japanese devs feel they NEED the west and are willing to trust whoever calls themselves an expert on selling to the western market. Maybe if Japan’s economy improved a market would open back up for strictly or primarily Japanese games, but as long as their economy and geopolitical position is what it is, Japan really can’t afford to tell the west no.
Has anyone finished unlimited yet? Just spoil me the ending for me. Also is Noire and the 2 stepping down permanently?
>>579276267>>579277193I'll stay optimistic, but definitely disappointing to hearThanks for the explanation
The world we lived in no longer exists, it's a shame this series has become a soulless husk of what was once great.
Japan still has a good market with huge hits that are selling without the west, it's just the otaku sector that's no longer viable for console development.It's still possible for Compile Heart to make a big seller in Japan, but it's not gonna be in the form most people here would appreciate. You can probably expect Compile Heart to rip one of these off though. Hell, their old president is working for the first one's studio now.

>>579286254Pray for GTA 6 to disappoint American investors because that's essentially the only solution. America's game industry and all influence they have on it must crumble completely in order for gaming to heal.It helps that analysts have over inflated GTA's hype into making investors think it can outsell GTA 5 on week one and that the console price hikes may actually force normies to just keep playing GTA 5 online on their PS4s. The chance of GTA 6 disappointing investors is very slim but not 0.
>>579290339Hacks.Probably the only decent screenshot, the rest of the game require proofreading and word wrap fixes.

>>579290052Cute yuri!
>>579276267>>579277193Good posts
>>579277193I've come to accept that Japanese gaming has changed forever since 2020, and will never go back to the way it was. I'll just have to hoard, replay and preserve everything that's been released up until that point. There has not been much of anything new from Japan that has interested me lately (save for EDF). I'm honestly surprised Compile Heart is still alive, considering that a niche like them would have been chewed up and spat out in today's overly-sensitive soft world.>>579290854As much as I'd like that to happen, it's not going to. The brand image alone of GTA is going to sell billions of dollars, just look at the digital pre-orders people got sucked into that you can't cancel and change your mind. They've already taken their money and patted themselves on the back.
>>579290854Not gonna happen anon. Even though GTA6 apparently (allegedly) took 3 billion to make, you have to factor in that they've already made 3 million+ through pre-orders alone and fucking Netflix of all things obviously paid them a huge fucking sum to have exclusive footage of the game for a mere 6 HOURS.Now understand that GTA Online is a thing that made billions for GTA5 and know that they will do the same for GTA6. People WILL be buying PS5s and Series Xs for the game alone even though that shit is digital only/a code in a box.They will make that money back through GTA Online. This is the same company that sold V on 7th, 8th, AND 9th gen consoles and is STILL selling constantly somehow.It won't be stopped.

>>579306719I can understand why artists are so pissed about it but for text translation it's invaluable given how corrupt professional translators can be at times (see Katrina Leonoudakis). Japs would happily replace human translators with AI if it wasn't for the amount of editing and proofreading such patches require to not look hacky or botched
I thought Rogue was going to be my favorite but it's actually between her and Lot
>>579308582>Katrina LeonoudakisOh yeah, this cunt. 3DPDs need to be permanently gatekept from all video games and anime/manga.
>>579309583>3DPDs need to be permanently gatekept from all video games and anime/manga.More like Americans should be gatekept from everything, they're the ones giving them so much power plus censoring/banning all the things you mentioned.
>>579308582>Katrina Leonoudakisqrd? she looks insufferable
>>579270732I would do it just for the reaction.>>579305756Might as well leave it as is.>>579308582Editors are a bigger problem than translators in these companies. Even if we switch to AI translations, the same cunts will be editing it and nothing will change.
>>5792481022020? You mean you go on all these angry rants but didn't play sisters vs sisters yourself? How can you judge the removal of the turn based combat if you don't know how the new system feels like?

>>579309993She worked for SEGA and Atlus in the past and took pride in intentionally changing the dialogue to censor or align it with personal or modern social views. When she was called out and criticized for it, she retaliated, asked her Twitter followers to pressure Japanese companies, 'bully' them into 'paying for union actors and "good" translation'. Katrina supposedly was actively using unions in order to remain in the craft after the controversy

>>579312192What is actually happening here?
>>579312945Photo mode options, like the one with the purple effect, it just looks like it rather than that actually happening. Not actually played it yet and even if I had, I will not be making much use of the photo mode, so I could not tell you what the options are.
>>579289163Now consider that with the west these games would have sold a million or more.It’s not surprising that the otaku sector would be hardest hit since it was already niche, but even Nintendo first parties aren’t doing fantastic numbers there unless they’re from the big franchises. Famitsu numbers are down across the board. It’s really all about being able to break through the average Japanese salaryman’s bubble and mobile games are inherently better equipped to do that because he carries his phone with him at all times and can whip it out and play on it at work without it being conspicuous like a dedicated game console.
>>579289163Well, yes, all smart people already abandoned the console market. Current gen consoles are like iphones, expensive and useless(no games). The only people still playing on consoles are the gay theft auto retards.
>>579311329The loudest bitching has always come from those who don't even engage with these games. I'm sure he's very upset about the nips loving Unlimited so far.
>>579316134>The only people still playing on consoles are the gay theft auto retards.They outnumber us by quite a large margin.
This menu theme is not bad but I would rank it third. Neptune Suite and Vs one are still preferable.
>>579316693GTA is like the most normalfag game ever, so.Otaku shit always makes a shit ton of money anyways because of whales. Most obvious example is gacha.We don't need consoles to enjoy anime girls in other platforms.
>>579318231Saying "the only people" implies they are a minority.>Most obvious example is gacha.Not the best example because they suck as games.Consoles are not necessary no but we did not get a good replacement.
>>579312945I am almost certain it was this effect.
They even come with audio.
>>579318231Why do I have to roll slot machines and deal with endless power creep for my anime fanservice? Gacha is worse than nothing at all, it has a negative impact on the industry just by existing and I genuinely wish Google and Apple would censor and ban it to death already.
I am so used to hearing this from her normal form, this feels weird.
>>579309806B-but I'm a good American, I like the Japanese way better...
>>579321873WEEB!
Is there a way to run faster? This feels like the slowest run speed in all the Nep games.
