[leaden stag]

Yeah....unless the art style gels with me, Im not gonna bother

[storm coyote]

interesting man

[leaden stag]

Free Xueyi

Hell yes

[glad cradle]

first come first serves

[jolly spade]

Because we are the minority that will at least take a step back and judge the game

[leaden stag]

Best time to start a gacha is at launch or anni, no inbetween

[jolly spade]

The rest.....I'll be blunt, theyre downright stupid

[low ferry]

wtf

[leaden stag]

Hello NotVer

[glad cradle]

i played guardian tale inbetween and that was awsome

[devout thunder]

to not feel frustration of having sht chars forever, indeed

[low ferry]

Everyone has different tastes

[leaden stag]

Nice; my younger brother is playing that, he likes it

[glad cradle]

different taste of woman you mean?

[leaden stag]

Indeed; pgr is the few exception since outside of WZ and PPC, any chars can deal with most content

[devout thunder]

but gachas, sooner you start, more gems you will have, man, gacha is really a crap thing

[low ferry]

The only minority your represent is the minority of elitism

[jolly spade]

I like Guardian Tales, just that it yanked my money lmao

[leaden stag]

And story even gives free chars to use

[leaden stag]

Anni in a few days btw

[leaden stag]

Sunk Cost fallacy lol

Oh, Bejewel

I miss playing Bejewel

[wet aurora]

[leaden stag]

Uh Niconico?

[devout thunder]

imagine this situation:
some: Hey, when should I try Dark Souls?
other: well, you shall wait for anniversary because they will give nice amount of Souls
some: oh, nice

[earnest scroll]

If you like wuwa you'll like zzz they seem really similar

[leaden stag]

Hahaha, I can sympathize

[wet aurora]

dunno

[leaden stag]

It's alright

[devout thunder]

[glad cradle]

anyone played void bastards? i played when epic games made it free. after playing i realized normal games better than gacha games

any normal games coming?

[random hornet]

"Guys, it's the Levitator utility from Wuthering Waves."

[jolly spade]

Wdym normal

[glad cradle]

warzone mobile just came this year

[leaden stag]

Its a fun game; not a fan of how long it takes you for a single run; Also wtf is Bastards allowed but not shoot?

[low ferry]

Zelda copied Kuro

[devout thunder]

I shall still try Nine Sols, looks very very nice

i presume non gacha games

[glad cradle]

damn its looks good btw is it gonna be gacha?

[jolly spade]

Shin Megami Tensei is never a gacha franchise

[glad cradle]

nice

[jolly spade]

Sure it only got one gacha game but thats it

[devout thunder]

by $60, doesnt look like a gacha

[leaden stag]

Slightly? In the game you cans fuse your demons and theres a chance of an accident, where it becomes something different and stronger

[leaden stag]

P5X: Allow me to introduce myself

[earnest scroll]

Damn time travellers

[devout thunder]

[jolly spade]

Basically SMT is Persona without the daily highschool life

Which uhh

Persona was under SMT for 3 games

[glad cradle]

anyone played any 2009 games?

[jolly spade]

Then they broke off because P3 got popular afaik

[glad cradle]

ig yes

[earnest scroll]

Yes?

[lapis kiln]

Can you fuse waifus

[jolly spade]

Yes

[leaden stag]

Yes, some of the demons are very hot humanooids

[jolly spade]

Your Summons, but yes

[jolly spade]

Mara

[glad cradle]

lemme test you know sigma team company

[earnest scroll]

Nope

[leaden stag]

https://tenor.com/view/the-avengers-marvel-robert-downey-jr-tony-stark-iron-man-gif-17148104

[devout thunder]

well, lets see, PGR became too fake malding (because more and more chars come with 50% of things, been completed by SS3, Sig, Pet whatever). I feel WW will fall to the same sht. Dunno about ZZZ.

[leaden stag]

Anyway: HSR 2.3 Codes

https://hsr.hoyoverse.com/gift?code=DA3VV367PP7X
https://hsr.hoyoverse.com/gift?code=QB3DC36PP673

[earnest scroll]

They most likely will
They'll get their market share then milk them

[devout thunder]

as most gachas, "fair" enough

[jolly spade]

Honestly? MiHoYo strat is to showcase the hell outta their waifu so the fans, dim as they are, will want to roll ASAP

[earnest scroll]

It do be like it is

[low ferry]

They are smarter than Kuro then

Which had male banner first and did worse than TOF first weeks

[devout thunder]

it is a fair route, gacha is more about collecting than really playing, or ppl really love doing same sht every day over and over and over and...

[thick ridge]

Lesgo finally data bank 15

[devout thunder]

aka dailies

[jolly spade]

WuWa, just see Genshin and you understand how the charas work, while it does depend on whether they will want to push the idea of needing dupes

[devout thunder]

MALE BANNER on RELEASE, LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUL

[jolly spade]

Im saying with WuWa though. I dont care about whether the character is male or female

[low ferry]

Also releasing the game with so many bugs and issues XD

[jolly spade]

And any person who will want to call me out on that is prolly sexist at worst

[devout thunder]

well, bugs are fine, it happens, but man, what is the hype about that green dragon edgy lord?

[leaden stag]

Uh, pretty sure GI first banner was Venti

[jolly spade]

The fact that he actually isnt edgy

[leaden stag]

a feminine but is still a dude

[earnest scroll]

I think they only did that to stall a (re)work on Yinlin's story since she was in the game since day 1

[jolly spade]

Yep, Venti's a dude Archon

Then its followed by Klee

[low ferry]

I had it give me bsod on windows a few times

[leaden stag]

So yeah, Nothing wrong with Going with how Wuwa did it

[devout thunder]

looks edgy, it is enough, or you think ppl will read story?

[leaden stag]

Its just a case of people know the umcoming waifus

so they felt more to save up

While When Venti came out, not a lot of leaks just yet

or at least, not as widespread

[low ferry]

It's wrong cause they had already hyped it up the girl

and released the male banner first

[leaden stag]

Put it this way, Yinlin is a Side Character

[thick ridge]

Whats the point of talkin about it

It happend bro

[leaden stag]

While our first banner is a char heavily prominent in the main story

[devout thunder]

start strong, give more and more hype, then release the next big thing. you dont start weak, seriously.

[jolly spade]

If anybody bothered to see the lines, Yinlin is a pure side chara

[leaden stag]

So Either way, kinda silly to go Yinlin first

[jolly spade]

She only has opinions on Chixia and Rover

[leaden stag]

If you're already at the top from the start, how can you climb upwards?

[low ferry]

Going Yinlin first would have been better for revenue

[leaden stag]

But I digress, What Vera's Dog said

The deed is done

[devout thunder]

if Yinlin is their top, damn, they are fkdup

[leaden stag]

I think its fine, some dont

[thick ridge]

Damn both of the next charecters look so good brah tf

[low ferry]

Because they really care about that, clear to me when they anticipate the female banner

[leaden stag]

And yeah

[thick ridge]

Did you see the leaks

[jolly spade]

So like, honestly while I see her popularity, I think her role just hard stops in her companion story

[leaden stag]

True, I do woner how are they gonna add her in events

[low ferry]

After they did not so well first weeks

[jolly spade]

We've seen Jinshi, but Changli is kinda new

[leaden stag]

Shes a ||triple agent going dark||

How do you add a char like that in future events without some contradictions?

[thick ridge]

The clear looking gameplay of them are out it looks good

[jolly spade]

Also the funny thing is that people are very ready to bark like hell, only to see Yinlin being very wholesome instead

[devout thunder]

actually was that bad? I read it was over their expectation, by KURO their selves.

[thick ridge]

Oh another hotfix is out

[low ferry]

It was worse than tof first weeks

[devout thunder]

🤔

[leaden stag]

So anyone hypped for Smt 5?

[thick ridge]

Still barkable tho xD

[leaden stag]

Or just me?

[low ferry]

If it was good for them, they wouldn't have anticipated yinlin banner

[devout thunder]

woof

[devout thunder]

what is smt5?

[thick ridge]

Will it come for ps5?

[leaden stag]

yes

[devout thunder]

or just dont get fkd by zzz

[jolly spade]

Shin Megami Tensei V

[slow shoal]

Shin Megami Tensei 5

[thick ridge]

Lesgo

[jolly spade]

The franchise that spawned Persona

[leaden stag]

A turn base rpg sorta like persona but more condesed into pure combat

[devout thunder]

hmmm... time to try the legend

[devout thunder]

I played P5, very nice

[leaden stag]

As in if you liked persona's combat but dont want the extra fluff, SMT would be up your alley

[low ferry]

Even in that case, it shows them that they need to squeeze as much money as possible

[devout thunder]

[thick ridge]

Smt5 is milking product like p5 right?xd

[low ferry]

Game costed something like more than 121 million just to develop

[devout thunder]

🤔

[leaden stag]

Well, This is only a rereleaase after the fluke of releasing post covid

[low ferry]

This is if we exclude marketing cost

[devout thunder]

WHA

[leaden stag]

So Not yet milking levels; Unless I see a bloody SMT 5 Dancing in Hell

[jolly spade]

Nah, in fact Persona vastly overshadows Shin Megami Tensei

[thick ridge]

Ahaha

[leaden stag]

Like ok, for p4, makes sense, Rise is an idol

[low ferry]

WW is a AAA game in term of money invested

[jolly spade]

Just because 3 was insanely good

[leaden stag]

but wtf does p3 and p5 need it?

[low ferry]

It has the development cost of an AAA game

[jolly spade]

Anne lol

[devout thunder]

those are totally diff universes, right? SMT and Persona. Or are related?

[jolly spade]

P3.....Mitsuru and Aegis I guess

[slow shoal]

money

[leaden stag]

She's a fashion model though

[jolly spade]

Totally different. But Persona had the Shin Megami Tensei label on it for 3 games.

[leaden stag]

Yeah that's the obvious answer, but Watsonian wise, the reaason for it to exist is dumb

[thick ridge]

P5 mc but female costume in the dancing game make me feel things ahahahaha

[leaden stag]

the twins found out about p4 story and forced the phantom theives to dance too

[devout thunder]

ah, ok, makes sense why I thought Persona was somekind of SMT spinoff

[leaden stag]

Be more confused

[devout thunder]

man, P5 I liked a lot, wonder how SMT5 will be

[jolly spade]

Persona 3 was never Persona 3, it was Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3

[leaden stag]

If you want, if it doesnt have denuvo, I could share it to you?

[thick ridge]

[jolly spade]

Then they broke off that label from 4 onwards

[leaden stag]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WewYD9Co3wU&pp=ygUOU01UIDUgdmVuZ2FuY2U%3D

[devout thunder]

no worries, danke anyways. I will watch some videos and decide.

[leaden stag]

Watch this, let me know what you want me to explain

[leaden stag]

Alright, I shall respect your choice.

[thick ridge]

I play p5 vanilla loved it then played p5 royal loved it then play p3 reload loved it lmaooo

[devout thunder]

looks gooood

[leaden stag]

P3 reload being on Gamepass was nice

[devout thunder]

I played vanilla, man I love it. Specially the OST

[leaden stag]

Shame I played p3p like 5 times So no more interest in a new playthrough

[thick ridge]

Yea crazy move but i have ps5 tho so not for me

[leaden stag]

Trust Me, Orpheus Telos is nice and all but when you cant chooose the skills, its not fun

[thick ridge]

It was my first experience of it

[leaden stag]

Oh nice

[thick ridge]

Yes sirrrr

Still love their music

Listen to it

[devout thunder]

seriously, when I heard the battle theme, TF, I stopped the battle just to hear it

[jolly spade]

If you guys noticed Persona 1 and 2, you could tell they very vastly changed for 3 onwards

Because uhh, 1 and 2 are quite cookie cutter in gameplay

[thick ridge]

Ahaha speacially when we go for the treasures to pick it up the song go crazy

[leaden stag]

Yeah, became more char driven

[jolly spade]

Basically its very SMT

[devout thunder]

fr fr, good times, good times

[leaden stag]

Like chars in persona one and 2 were more vehicle to drive the story

And the combat was uh...

I'm not calling it bad, but very cheesy

[low ferry]

[leaden stag]

Both on your side and the enemy side

[low ferry]

The only smt game I played is the snes one

[devout thunder]

is that so? I hope SMT5 is fine

[low ferry]

[leaden stag]

p3 and p4 hile bullshitingly easy at high level, least early on was mostly fair

[leaden stag]

Don't worry, they removed the atrocious level scaling

back in og, if you were 5 levels below an enemy, you'd do chip damage

and vice versa; now they fixed it

[devout thunder]

but nice to hear we are getting good REAL games

[leaden stag]

Yeah, they often fall through the cracks

[devout thunder]

I always wondered about SMT

[leaden stag]

Sure, ask away

[devout thunder]

when I tried P5, I knew about SMT, but was not into trying those old versions

now it is time to enter in the world of SMT too

[jolly spade]

https://tenor.com/view/smt3-dante-smt-shin-megami-tensei-gif-18955930

[leaden stag]

I can't fault you, SMT one and 2 are nice but they're a bit too old-schooled

[jolly spade]

Funni Dante

[leaden stag]

Ie: I had to open up Gamefaqs for a map

And no, I couldn't just tell from the enviroment casue this is an nes game, the enviroment looks the same in dungeons

[devout thunder]

https://tenor.com/view/persona5-gif-23620446

man, I love this

[jolly spade]

Anyways Dante got featured in the relatively more well-known Nocturne game

[thick ridge]

Tf is vergil doing there

[thick ridge]

Who you like

[jolly spade]

Vergil is never there

[thick ridge]

Me makoto

[jolly spade]

Its just Dante

[leaden stag]

A scratch my back, I scratch yours; dmc allowed dante to be used in exchange for kazuma kaneko designing some of the devil arms for dmc 3

Basically, an old school collab

[thick ridge]

Oh damn

[jolly spade]

I mean, its kinda cool in its base game, but I do fear about Reload doing their AOAs

[devout thunder]

I like Joker, Makoto and actually Mona

[thick ridge]

Damn bro like mona

[leaden stag]

Ryuji, Haru, Makoto and Yusuke

[devout thunder]

Mona, lemme do more daily tasks GOD DAMN YOU

[leaden stag]

OG Mona is annoying

[jolly spade]

I had to take a while to register you meant P5 Makoto because P3's MC also went by Makoto

[leaden stag]

Royal mona.... is less annoying

[devout thunder]

actually, I like them all

everyone is special

[thick ridge]

Ahaha yea

[leaden stag]

Hahaha, reminds me of this

[thick ridge]

Ahahaha

[leaden stag]

Funny enough, There was another game I choose Makoto as the mc's name and There WAS Already a char named makoto

Like what were the odds?

[thick ridge]

But really they all got a big glow up in p3 Reload

[leaden stag]

Yeah, Fuuka especially

[jolly spade]

And then years later, ArcSys ran with the same name joke moment.....on Naoto

[devout thunder]

btw, that P3 remake, does it worth for someone who loved P5?

[leaden stag]

The Detective Prince?

[jolly spade]

Ye

BlazBlue has a Naoto Kurogane

And they slapped in Naoto Shirogane

[thick ridge]

Makoto a good girl with good grades but a goth gangster bike rider in heart? What do you need more xD

[leaden stag]

Honestly, Yeah; Story is a lot more bleak but at the same time, the chars are just as interesting and complex. Only thing I dislike is how powerleveling your main persona isnt a good idea; 2 weaknesses and no resistances

[devout thunder]

[leaden stag]

Lol, this would be a fun bait and switch

[devout thunder]

I see, but maybe I shall try 🤔

[leaden stag]

https://tenor.com/view/vipox-persona-q2-pq2-makoto-yuki-persona-3-gif-12789412650676093922

This mf looks hyped as all hell but is unironically the weakest starting persona

[thick ridge]

Ahaha

[leaden stag]

Even the Og 2 games starting personas were a lot better

[jolly spade]

Have fun seeing Orpheus jamming on.....or bashing a lyre

[leaden stag]

Interestingly, in Persona 3ds

P3 mc most people use on firsst playthrough cause yu is much better

HIs ultimate persona has no weaknesses and is more balanced

P3 mc is more magic oriented

[devout thunder]

oh Persona 3 has that white blonde robot girl

[leaden stag]

yes, aigis

[slow shoal]

And then got overshadowed by Thanatos

[jolly spade]

Depends, because they still follow one core thing about Shin Megami Tensei games

[devout thunder]

now we talking

[leaden stag]

Tbf, You got half the game to go though to unlock him

[jolly spade]

The fact that they have grim elements

[devout thunder]

which is?

[jolly spade]

4 and 5 are much more lighter in that regard

[leaden stag]

You build your mc around your team?

[cosmic rapids]

[devout thunder]

which is?

[leaden stag]

https://tenor.com/view/nikke-anis-laughing-sunglasses-gif-1643454072105361639

[jolly spade]

Since 4 at best revolves around finding a murderer, and 5 generally goes around rebelling against society

[leaden stag]

Physical, FIre, Ice, Wind, Lightning, Dark Light

p5 Nuke and Psy aren't in all games

[jolly spade]

Bro I meant the story

[leaden stag]

just like gun

[leaden stag]

Oh, you meant Grim Undertones, MB

Sorry

[jolly spade]

Im saying that P3's more grim compared to 4 and 5

[leaden stag]

Yeah, it's rather bleak in some ways

But I think the journey is still worth experiencing

Even if you get annoyed with how archaic some things are

like how terrible the ai for mitsuru can be...

[jolly spade]

And yeah, you have to remember that P3 takes place in 2009

P4 was....2011 was it?

[devout thunder]

well, they shoot at their own head, so by that I can see it is heavier than P5

[leaden stag]

yeah, 3 years later

cause in p4 a ||First year is now 3rd year||

[jolly spade]

P5 they didnt reveal the exact date, but its definitely somewhere at the late 2010s seeing Rise's poster

[leaden stag]

Yeah, its Sixteen iirc

Lines up with irl calander

[leaden stag]

Something about facing death for a rebirth

[devout thunder]

wait, I never realized was that connected to the year.

[jolly spade]

The symbolism's there, but the reason for it is actually lighter

[devout thunder]

oh, really? ummmm, makes me curious

ah, wait, does P3 have JP VA?

[jolly spade]

Sure the Evoker needs you to shoot yourself, but its mainly there to summon your Persona

[leaden stag]

Yep

You can choose in Reload

[devout thunder]

now we talking

[jolly spade]

Your requisite for having a successful summon is to not be afraid of death though

[leaden stag]

Though Persona always been a franchise with Solid Eng Voics

[jolly spade]

Oh definitely

[devout thunder]

ah, that is the meaning behind it

[leaden stag]

Extreme Stress either break you, or you succeed

[devout thunder]

I mean, I understand JP better than EN

[devout thunder]

noice

[leaden stag]

I mean, that's more cause of experience and cause you have zero idea what they're actually saying

But I digress, I wont push

[jolly spade]

Not sure about why P4 peeps need to crush their cards to summon Personas though

[leaden stag]

Its never explained actually

[jolly spade]

Because their symbolism of trying to find the truth is tied to their glasses instead

[devout thunder]

I understand about 70~80% of common talk, some complex things, I need to read in EN.

[leaden stag]

Something about Duality? Other side of the card?

[leaden stag]

Oh, that's very amazing

[jolly spade]

Meanwhile P5's method is very obvious. Showing your true self

[devout thunder]

im THE Weeb

[devout thunder]

I like it, actually

[leaden stag]

The Weeb Who Walks Among Us?

Oh yeah Wolf among us Season 2 next year

[devout thunder]

we all weeb in some sense

[leaden stag]

Heh, Touche

btw Lindow, did you ever play smt franchise?

The mainline games sorry

[jolly spade]

Nope

[devout thunder]

man, now Im more about P3 than SMT5, decisions, decisions... (more because I loved P5)

[jolly spade]

Seen em though

[leaden stag]

Ah alright, just curious

No problem

[leaden stag]

nothing wrong, plus p3r is on gamepass

Vengance while nice you can always grab on a discount

[devout thunder]

[leaden stag]

Plus, it has 2 games, OG story and Vengance new storyline

[devout thunder]

its is always nice to talk about good real games

[leaden stag]

Hahaha, its always nice to just chillax

no need to argue about oh my waifu is hotter than yours and whatnot

[devout thunder]

or, wooooh I got x char in x pulls

[random hornet]

I am Sekiro.

[devout thunder]

THE MASTERBAITER WEEB

[lapis kiln]

I am the Conductor

[leaden stag]

Go for the right one trust me

[random hornet]

Bizarre Baiting

[leaden stag]

Yeah, its not I hate it but it always just puts a damper on my spirits cause I tend to have horrid luck

[earnest scroll]

U a dweeb

[random hornet]

👌

[jolly spade]

Meanwhile Im more surprised that I won Yinlin in the 50/50 in the 40-count

[devout thunder]

mine is quite standard, but yeah, sometimes I think it is so dumb been happy about those gamblings, you know

[leaden stag]

Yo, Nice

[jolly spade]

When I got doubts of getting her to boot

[leaden stag]

Hahaha, you know how it is; The Thrill of winning big or going bust

Gacha much as I loathe it works on the same principles, just no cashing out

[jolly spade]

Or, "You choose male you gei"

Yes Im quite sore since this morning

[leaden stag]

Tell me about it; Like I get it you didnt get verina or Encore but is getting Calatro or The Lion Dancer the end of the world?

[devout thunder]

I mean, in games like P5, man, even DS, I care about the chars. in most of gachas, you get just for the sake of collection, then move on to the next.

[leaden stag]

I'm all ears if you like

[jolly spade]

Just because I chose Male Rover doesnt mean Im gay

[leaden stag]

True, you dont really get that chance to just sit on it

[jolly spade]

At least I didnt tell that bastard that I got Jiyan since, well they dont even care bout Jiyan

[leaden stag]

Yeah, Hence Why I dont bother asking about what mc you guys went with nowadays

[lapis kiln]

https://tenor.com/view/listening-ears-trippy-gif-9530513

[leaden stag]

I either get called Homo cause I enjoy playing as a dudde

or called a contrarian cause I prefer use male chars

[leaden stag]

The other kind sorry

[jolly spade]

Like, bruh

[ionic isle]

Mikazuki Augus best anime protag yall cant stop me

[jolly spade]

Why must the anime community be so waifu-addicted they become sexists and attempt to deny guys?

[jolly spade]

Uhhhhhh, nah. There do be better ones, but Mika is fine

[leaden stag]

Honestly, its more they dislike the idea of seeing males interact with their "waifus"

[devout thunder]

I think gacha is too centered in collection, and I hate choosing males, but P5 for example, I liked been Joker because there are meaning in things, and looks like P3, youre a boy too, right?

[leaden stag]

And considering Japan is where most of the practices come from, you get the point Im making right?

[jolly spade]

Yeah, unless you play P3P, then you have a choice

[leaden stag]

Like Fine, You have a stick down there, you're attracted to girls

[jolly spade]

Your Bond mates change depending on gender though

[floral imp]

When I play male characters, it's so I can self-insert.

[leaden stag]

But you dont have to be so Xeno to your own gender

There's plenty of male chars who are well written

[devout thunder]

well, if story and persona(pun intented ) of chars is nice, I dont mind been male or female

[leaden stag]

Just as much as female chars who exist purely for fanservice

[ionic isle]

*insert gfl incident flashbacks

[leaden stag]

But I digress, never wrestle with a pig

You'll get muddy with the pig likes it

[devout thunder]

in gachas, surely

[leaden stag]

Yeah, the doll being married to another commander and everyone blew their lid; it was almost comedic; did none of you mature past High School?

[floral imp]

I recently heard somewhere that pigs actually don't like to be dirty.

[lapis kiln]

You're a hot anime girl

[jolly spade]

Like, tbh I see Male Rover as a larger win so that you dont have to see the least surprised face ever on Female Rover

And not suffer NPC Rover memes if youre playing EN voices

[leaden stag]

Yes, they're actually neat freaks, just like flies. But the saying is By a Nineteenth Century Playwright so fair enough

[leaden stag]

Also his delivery of his lines are honestly rather nice

The eng one is still too deep for me but his cn and jp vas arer nice

[ionic isle]

Is it just me or mainstream anime (including anime games) nowadays is just gonna be a toxic cesspool of hatred

[jolly spade]

It already is

[leaden stag]

No, not just you

[devout thunder]

🤔

[ionic isle]

Like they are destined to be like that

[leaden stag]

Its cause they're churning this dung every other week

[jolly spade]

Imo anime's mistake is getting ported over to the West

[leaden stag]

So yeah, Blame Otakus, Idol Culture and whatnot

Its to a point I actually avoid popular anime

Like only when the hype dies down would I actually humor it

[devout thunder]

imagine blaming otaku, otaku exist since forever

[jolly spade]

Idol culture is a funny hypocritical thing

[ionic isle]

Genuinely the only reason I watch Gundam instead of newer anime is because I want to get just one model

[leaden stag]

I simp for my Oshi but go ballistic moment they find out their Oshi has a life outside of being an idol

[jolly spade]

Like, people deny the actual idol communities but they rever their waifus like there's barely any difference

[ionic isle]

Its never because I'm being forced, and I feel like it makes me appreciate the anime more

[leaden stag]

Dumbest feces ever, cant make this up with how Parasocial it is

[jolly spade]

.....Barbatos?

[leaden stag]

That's good to hear at least

[ionic isle]

I want the FA Unicorn RG

[floral imp]

Imagine caring about what the anime community is doing and saying, rather than just watching stuff that interests you personally.

[jolly spade]

Also about the whole "one model" schtick, uhh

[devout thunder]

meanwhile I only like Gundam UC (yes, that one starting with 0079 Amuro and Char) and ppl say, Im cringe

[jolly spade]

Good amount of people fell into the kitbuilding hole there

[leaden stag]

Most use the same base mold?

Oh

[jolly spade]

No

[jolly spade]

This

[leaden stag]

Ah; my cousin is into that

[jolly spade]

Unicorns yes, but in the larger picture, nah

[devout thunder]

btw, Senkou no Hathaway new chapters when

[leaden stag]

His room full of kitbash gundams

[ionic isle]

Ngl I might do the main trilogy on netflix after finishing Iron-Blooded Orphans S2

[leaden stag]

When they get their next budget

[devout thunder]

some said Orphans is good, I shall try it, I basically only watch UC ones

[leaden stag]

Any comments Lindow?

I only watched the fight scenes

[jolly spade]

No idea on what Bamco's plans are beyond SEED Freedom really

Right now theyre absolutely eating the revenue

[devout thunder]

https://tenor.com/view/gigi-andalucia-gigi-hathaway-noa-noa-gundam-gif-21972564

[jolly spade]

Not that SEED Freedom is bad or anything, in fact its actually a good movie from what Ive heard

[leaden stag]

Just its a case of milking?

Regardless of how great it is?

[jolly spade]

Yeah, theyre milking SEED Freedom rn

[leaden stag]

I see

[devout thunder]

seriusly, Hathaway battle in city was amazing

[jolly spade]

Ye I know

You actually can see a civilian's perspective for once

[devout thunder]

the terror of mobile suit fighting close to citizens

[jolly spade]

Where in Gundam its mostly glossed over

The only other well-known time involving civilians is all the way back in Gundam F91 where a mother died because a shell casing fell on her head

[leaden stag]

YIKES

Like just her head or whole body?

[jolly spade]

Her head

[leaden stag]

Ah...

[devout thunder]

man, I remember that, that was wild, and that was WAR

[jolly spade]

Thankfully, the student cast grabbed the baby

[leaden stag]

Still, really shows you how gundams are gundams, but the civvies are the ones who suffer the most

[floral imp]

Mechs

[jolly spade]

The MS in question is around 15m firing gatiling rounds, so...

The shell definitely aint big enough to go make tomatoes

[leaden stag]

I see

[ionic isle]

Mobile Workers are cute, lets be real

[leaden stag]

Still, poor lady; War is truly hell

[leaden stag]

We're talking about the Mecha gundam sorry

[ionic isle]

Mb

[leaden stag]

Rip

[leaden stag]

Oh you meant this?

[jolly spade]

Search up Petite Mobile Suit

[devout thunder]

well, Mobilesuits are war vehicles in the end.

[ionic isle]

This

[leaden stag]

Hmm...

[jolly spade]

That Mobile Worker, well its there to try and make a successful Mobile Suit

[leaden stag]

It looks cute; barring the 2 turrets who can make me into swiss cheese

[leaden stag]

I see

[jolly spade]

The project nearly shut down because...well it aint a good idea to just lug around an exposed generator on your back

[leaden stag]

Yeah, makes sense

[devout thunder]

https://tenor.com/view/zaku-char-zaku-char-aznable-char-kick-gif-22070021

[leaden stag]

unless you wanna use it for construction then by all means

[devout thunder]

KICKS

[leaden stag]

https://tenor.com/view/sentai-kamen-rider-kamen-rider-kiva-rider-kick-kiva-kick-gif-24489939

[random hornet]

[devout thunder]

also never cut a mobilesuit in half with lightsaber inside a Space Colony

[leaden stag]

Kaboom?

[devout thunder]

[leaden stag]

Ah...

Makes sense

[fast ice]

boy oh boy, I will do something

[jolly spade]

Ye, it gave the pilot's dad brain damage

[leaden stag]

Ah, I know what you're about to do; Godspeed

[leaden stag]

Im more impressed he survived actually

[devout thunder]

LUUUUUL, now I respecc you, I know what you said.

[cosmic rapids]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/422784867047047168/1248420044489097267/image.png?ex=66644205&is=6662f085&hm=8d496c6f5f3f42444e8635276f5450d1697434bf84dd62b198aa990ee990f11c&

[devout thunder]

you know too

[leaden stag]

I don't actually sorry

[devout thunder]

[leaden stag]

I'm just gussing that the dude survived despite being exposedd to a giant explosion

And from what My friend told me, most gundams have a reeactor stronger than most nukes

[jolly spade]

Ahahahahaha

[devout thunder]

basically is terrifying having battles in populated areas, cities, and Space colonies.

[jolly spade]

Well if he's referring to nukes at this day and age, then yes

[leaden stag]

Yeah, now you put it that way, No wonder most gundam fight in space or large empty areas

[ionic isle]

Ahab reactors can jam an entire city from electricity and communication

[jolly spade]

But if youre talking besides that uhh. Some SEED MS do run with a nuclear generator

[devout thunder]

the "right" thing to do

[ionic isle]

Its like an EMP emitter

[leaden stag]

Yeah, he jsut explained to me using modern power plants

[leaden stag]

oooh

[leaden stag]

Wtf, that's dangerous, even to non-hostiles

[jolly spade]

The shown time it happened, the damage isnt all that bad considering its just two MS going purely at each other on the roads

[ionic isle]

Well thank god it only exists in the gundam verse

[leaden stag]

I see

still, the potential of it kinda unnerves me

[leaden stag]

Yeah, You're right

[devout thunder]

also fighting in Earth or a planet, they have the gravity problem, so most of the time they can just boost jump. That changed later on, which most can easily "fly" around not touching the ground.

[jolly spade]

Oh, remind me of SEED MS being able to fly for some reason...

[leaden stag]

Guess its onee of those things they just handwave

[jolly spade]

It was fine with Aile Striker-equipped MS

[leaden stag]

cause if they're gonna just fight on land, might as well draw ultraman

[jolly spade]

And then you see the rest having thrust that doesnt match downward output

[ionic isle]

Iirc Mobile Suits need specific equipment to operate in any place with gravity

[leaden stag]

Sounds kinda risky for landing ngl

[jolly spade]

Some do, some just go hybrid and gave equipment specifications a middle finger

[devout thunder]

probably, but in Hathaway for example, those normal mobilesuits didnt like about having special equipments to fly, except Penelope and XI 🤔

[jolly spade]

https://tenor.com/view/gundam-gundam-iron-blooded-orphans-bonk-gif-18573813

[leaden stag]

Right I forget IBO Exist; But least Ibo was next to no guns; If it was normal gundams the shooting would kinda get a bit dull

You're just watching soldiers shooting one another with little to no cover

[jolly spade]

Basically Penelope and Xi use a miniature version of ship antigravity systems

[devout thunder]

middle finger for sure, LETZ GO BOISSS, GRAVITY? NAH, WHO CARES! lol

[jolly spade]

From there onwards MS just have really good thrust-to-mass ratio to just fly

[devout thunder]

oh, noice

[leaden stag]

NASA would be proud

[jolly spade]

If you notice on Penelope that the thing doesnt have any thrusters to speak of really

Just.....occasionally glowing vents

[devout thunder]

indeed

[jolly spade]

Xi has thrusters

[devout thunder]

but all in all, I always loved MS Gundam because it somewhat was close to "reality"

the UC series at least

[opaque swan]

I got into Gundam because politics

[devout thunder]

well, it centered on it, at least UC, dunno about the rest of verses.

[opaque swan]

OYW is just allied vs axis all over again

[devout thunder]

sure is a robot anime, but MS was secondary to the story

[opaque swan]

Gjallarhorn are UN-but-not-UN

[devout thunder]

well, we even question who is wrong, if the Federation or who want to be free (Independence)

[jolly spade]

WfM did focus on politics some....and then ditched it unfortunately

Thing is uhh

There...really isnt anything too wrong with Zeon trying to get independence

Just that the relationship is quite sour between Earthnoids and Spacenoids

[opaque swan]

those four economic blocs on Earth are just there

[devout thunder]

oh, Renpo-gun is the good guys, Zeon are the bad... oh wait...

[opaque swan]

is a bit funny the African erased EU

[ionic isle]

Space racism go brrr

[jolly spade]

And then the whole Zeon takeover thing happened and Gihren just sicced the militia on Earth

[opaque swan]

if Zeons are bad, then why characters affiliated with them have cool uniforms

[devout thunder]

racistnoids

[devout thunder]

fr

and in Hathaways, we see how shtty is Federation

[jolly spade]

Nah, its shown that some of them people arent even bad

Its just that theyre enemies due to circumstances

Ramba Ral and Bernard Wiseman are two good examples

[opaque swan]

except the ground forces who barely have level 5 armor and looking like some dudes in the 40s

[jolly spade]

Dozle Zabi too, for the sake of it

Despite him having to come up with an internal insane troll logic to keep himself in line from calling out a massacre

[devout thunder]

btw, will we have new seasons for Hathaway?

[opaque swan]

talking about Federation

[jolly spade]

Good question

[opaque swan]

their systems and how their government/politics are complex

you see,

in some Gundams, the Federation are depicted as either an authoritarian hierarchy or liberal democracy

but in simple answers, the Federation generally is just US but in space

[devout thunder]

that is why I normally follow the Universal Century Gundam more than others, which I consider as "canon"

[devout thunder]

[opaque swan]

but as a whole, I don't understand a quite a bit

[jolly spade]

"The question is "How many Gundams can we output in a few months" and the answer is "YES"" -The Feds and Bamco

[devout thunder]

[leaden stag]

America: I'm so proud of you

[devout thunder]

we shall need to sell more toys and Gunplas!

[jolly spade]

Like, right now on the Netflix side theyre prepping for Requiem of Vengeance at best

While eating up SEED Freedom's revenue

It was announced some time ago, I forgor

Also because I actually dont desire either of the two kits they printed out

While it makes sense for mechas irl to have loads of panels

To model kits its quite a nightmare

And then there's the Gundam looking like El Diablo with small arms

[opaque swan]

what panels

[devout thunder]

dunno why, I prefered the realism of Hathaway battle in city than the Requiem trailer

[jolly spade]

Yknow modellers do panel lining to show details better right?

Hold up lemme get a pic of the better kit imo

[opaque swan]

is a Zaku

what “panels”

[jolly spade]

Im referring to panel lining

You see all those black details?

Yeah, those aint there if you just build it

Modellers outline those panels so they pop more

Meanwhile Mr. El Diablo over here...

Actually the name's Gundam EX

[leaden stag]

Cool; I could see this be reworked into a medic Gundam

Though thats mostly due to the white colouring reminding me of the ngo uniforms

[jolly spade]

Just see the head and you prolly can figure out the nickname I call it

[devout thunder]

ma boi

[leaden stag]

Yeah I see why already

[opaque swan]

MS do use cover, there's a reason why they have a shield

(in some scenes)

[devout thunder]

last shot (with head tho)

[jolly spade]

And left arm

[devout thunder]

oh, indeed, you know that, respecc

[leaden stag]

Oh I apologize then

[opaque swan]

hey, we see Kudelia is next to Barbatos and Graze Ein while they're fighting in urban and they're fine

[leaden stag]

I see; guess I'm overeacting then

[opaque swan]

because they're generally meant to operate in that environment by the first place they were created

MS are TIE fighters with legs in a nutshell if you think that way

[leaden stag]

I see

[devout thunder]

interesting how chat went from gacha to smt/persona then gundam, not that im complaining, I like Gundam

also an old anime called Patlabor

anime/manga

[opaque swan]

I like the Helldiver

[devout thunder]

https://tenor.com/view/patlabor-patlabor-the-movie-mamoru-oshii-anime-robot-gif-17374101

[opaque swan]

it has great potential on being a bipedal IFV

only that it is missing features that from conventional vehicles

[devout thunder]

you mean the military labors?

[opaque swan]

yes

[devout thunder]

noice

I still like Alphonse and Zero(prototype)

[pure snow]

In cod right now

Prob the funniest person to get killed by

[opaque swan]

bro they think MS are Fallout power armor

[pure snow]

I now have 160 more rolls for the next banner

Who does?

Wait whats ms?

[opaque swan]

Mobile Suit

[devout thunder]

Mobilesuit

[pure snow]

Movement speed

XD

[devout thunder]

[jolly spade]

Looks really bad, I dont understand why people actually defend the cosplay abomination

[pure snow]

If ms(movement speed) was power armor it would be op af

[opaque swan]

it would

[devout thunder]

wait, wdym? really Gundam in COD?

[opaque swan]

yes

[devout thunder]

WHA TA HEEEEEK

[pure snow]

If they put the worst looking inyuyasha cosplay or cowboy bebop I would rock that just cuz I like those things

[opaque swan]

you know they can just depict Char holding an AK rather than using a Mobile Suit and shrunk them into human sized

[devout thunder]

wait, like Titan Fall, right?

[fast ice]

Is Jinhsi’s banner on June 28 gonna add up on June revenue of wuwa?

[devout thunder]

oh wait, WHA TA FAAAAA

[pure snow]

Prob

Anyways next banner we can be the dragon of the S

[opaque swan]

if they insist on adding a Mobile Suit, then add them as a vehicle

[pure snow]

We have dragon of the east

Now we need north and south dragons

[devout thunder]

like what we see in Titan Fall

[fast ice]

Yinlin made wuwa top 1 sale on South Korea and Japan, I wonder what will happen if Jinhsi got released. The shop might be broken again

[pure snow]

Soon we can be the dragons and then we can get the ultimate black dragon

[opaque swan]

sadly it won't make sense in a way when they're add in Warzone, because they're 6 stories tall and they're space fighters with legs

making them easy to spot and players to shoot using an anti tank

[pure snow]

In game skin lore is just some mercenary is cosplaying in game

[devout thunder]

https://tenor.com/view/hide-the-pain-harold-smile-pain-looking-gif-17739676

[noble tangle]

they're going jhinsi and changli

[pure snow]

For warzone

[noble tangle]

back to back

[opaque swan]

honestly, we need Titanfall 3

[pure snow]

We cope for titanfall3

[noble tangle]

yeah expect the revenue to spike even harder the next few patch

[devout thunder]

Chungli

[pure snow]

I want my WW switch unit

[devout thunder]

https://tenor.com/view/copium-cat-gif-27161395

[pure snow]

Well I got to get back to work

[noble tangle]

by the time jhinsi or changli comes out players have already exhausted their astrite

[pure snow]

Corpa slave that's me

[opaque swan]

bro Fortnite did collabs better 💀

[jolly spade]

Lmao I wonder

[pure snow]

Well yea it's easier to make skins in cellshade then how cod does it

[devout thunder]

[pure snow]

Also fortnight is just a better game overall warzones dogs

[jolly spade]

While there are people like me who just very cleanly went broke getting Yinlin

There are people who would want Jinshi and Changli ever since theyre leaked

And are very willing to whale back the losses

[devout thunder]

did you spend real money? if not, youre not broken

[jolly spade]

I have yet to. Thats why I said I very cleanly went broke

[fast ice]

Oh boy, I’m gonna whale I guess

[devout thunder]

GOOD

[jolly spade]

On top of winning the 50/50 at 40-count

It was so smooth I had to register that win for a bit

And decided to build her later because I got Mortefi, Verina, Calcharo, Baizhi and now her

[fast ice]

I guess my plan is to just get all 3 waifus (Jinhsi, Chunli, Camel) and then I will not pull again since it’s hard to max level up characters.

[opaque swan]

i think you're talking on High Mobility MS

they generally have some sort of hover systems that make them slide all over the place

[devout thunder]

I love when some flex their pulls and others feel the fomo to get them too, the gacha community is impressive and evil

[opaque swan]

also, Mobile Suits, if they want to fight on land. they gotta be at least in urban areas or other uneasy terrains

[jolly spade]

Jiyan is at the point where I can just leave him be at SOL3 Phase 4

[opaque swan]

I know some Gundams depict them operate in wide open area which isn't the case because again, you could easily see them and you don't want your MS to be exposed

but them in Urban areas are generally make sense

[devout thunder]

hover are like Doms, but in Hathaway they was really flying without any big jet equipment.

[opaque swan]

take example of Brown Southern Cross in Moroccan Front

[devout thunder]

lemme check again

[opaque swan]

thrusters

Mafty attack on a Federation city have their MS transported by a specialized transport with them deployed in high altitude and activate their thrust

they act like normal fighters by that point

[devout thunder]

but I think would be quite hard to be in air with those small boosters, but yeah, it is what is and is cool

[opaque swan]

small boosters wouldn't work tbh

because gravity would still effect the 6 stories tall mech

[devout thunder]

I just watched that city sequence again when those MS fall from the Jet, but there are parts they are mid air long enough

well, maybe is just advanced tech now

[opaque swan]

I just love when Federation suits don't care on damaging urban properties

[devout thunder]

even the guy (forgot his name) says "you serious?!?"

when they started shooting at ground and at buildings

[opaque swan]

you'll hate yourself

[devout thunder]

[opaque swan]

in short, IBO is good btw

[devout thunder]

fair enough

[native condor]

@faint sage atleast tell if gon do it or not

[opaque swan]

because there's barely plot armor in that series

[devout thunder]

🤔

[native condor]

oh wait wrong channel

[devout thunder]

here is whatever channel

[native condor]

ik but our convo was in #💬・pgr-general

[devout thunder]

general is personification of pure hell

[random hornet]

Ah yes, Wuthering Admin Trip

[devout thunder]

everytime I go there is like "IT WAS A MISTAKE"

[native condor]

thats y m there

[devout thunder]

im not

[jolly spade]

Gaumann

Yeah, because the Feds were doing a really bad job at defending the city

[native condor]

ye BA fans should stay put in their cave that is #🚀・off-topic-lobby

[devout thunder]

oh, yes, he

[random hornet]

@devout thunder @leaden stag

Ah yes, lil bro speedrunning Fallen Aces (Demo) on hard

[jolly spade]

Dude only targeted a single building......and the Feds just started shooting their beam rifles trying to clip the guy

[leaden stag]

Your little brother? That's nice

[jolly spade]

Thats why Gaumann called them out

[devout thunder]

[random hornet]

The game is basically an immersive sim (and what he does is nonstop sneak attack and when he does get spotted, he starts to pick up every prop and throw at them to run away immediately to the objective)

[leaden stag]

He's a genius; why fight fair when you can fight smart

[devout thunder]

Scene: Someone with a hostage
federation: I dont care, fkoff BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Federation can just say THEY did it, not us

[random hornet]

When he got a M1911 or M1 Thompson, he would start crouching down and tapping heads like he was playing CSGO

And trying to conserve as many bullets as possible since guns don't usually have conservation mag

[leaden stag]

Your lil brother is a badass

I remember when I was 7 I would always go the direct method in Deus Ex

Needless to say, I had a rough time

[opaque swan]

the CZ-75 from CS shows the character's use the spare magazines installed at the bottom front end of the gun barrel for reload

Finally the full fight 😭

Twitter · Jun 6, 2024, 5:22 PM

[devout thunder]

meanwhile I was a coward stealth ez pz

[leaden stag]

Yeah....Young me didn't understand the concept of stealth

[random hornet]

I am that one guy who would go to a previous save in Dishonored while my lil bro would just say "fvck it" and start getting messy.

[devout thunder]

but at least Deus Ex had variety, I liked that game

[random hornet]

Meanwhile, I'm scared of getting spotted.

[leaden stag]

Ironically, I wwas like that when I played Dishonored, I wasnt a fan of f5 and f7 so I would just go combat pacifist; Charge attack, Grab, Hold till they get choked unconcious, thro repeat

[leaden stag]

Yeah, its anxiety inducing

[leaden stag]

Yeah, great franchise

[devout thunder]

ngl, Dishonored is a pain in the butt, the stealth there for me is too crap, 2 too.

[leaden stag]

Also too much cool weapons but if you kill, bad ending

Its so obvious loww chaos was a last minute change

Dishonored 2 Low Chaos was more reasonable

[devout thunder]

censoring this, smh

[leaden stag]

Istg, So many sentences I said todya

[random hornet]

I feel like most people would usually finish the game with high chaos

Getting low chaos is hard because non-lethal tactics are hard to execute and expensive

[leaden stag]

got censored because of this

[leaden stag]

Yep, first runs of Dishonored and its dlc was high chaos

only in my 2nd run I could low chaos

which makes sense, first run I explore everything, 2nd run is when I use my brain

[opaque swan]

I don't like banning s and f word

[devout thunder]

which I always felt been strange for a stealth game. I remember old school MGS, when you was spotted, you fkup, to show you was playing it wrongly

[devout thunder]

fr fr

[leaden stag]

again, low chaos in dishonored one was a last minute addition

[devout thunder]

Dishonored is just, NAH whatever

[devout thunder]

Ah, ok

[leaden stag]

They intended the game to just kill but when they saw a playtester mananged to pacificstically finish a mission

[devout thunder]

well, even 2 is bad for me, still.

[leaden stag]

they decided lets give pasifist methods....without giving the proper tools

[leaden stag]

Same, less missionos overall

And in the end, I preferred playing Corvo not his daughter

[devout thunder]

but I tried to like both games

[leaden stag]

Kinda pointless to do so

[devout thunder]

ah, fr fr

[leaden stag]

Corvo in general is much Straightfoward in how to use

Emily feels too complex for her own good

yeah its cool you can sleep several enemies at the same time, but you gotta mark them

[devout thunder]

well, it is what is, but I dont dislike Dishonored, I wish they could polish it more

[leaden stag]

and in that time, you might as well just knock them unconcious the normal waay

Yeah, its a diamond in the rough ultimately

not a bad game, but could've used more time in the ovem

[pure snow]

Don't worry since one of there studios got killed off I'm sure that will never happen

[devout thunder]

wha

[leaden stag]

Arkane Studios

They got closed down, you didn't hear?

They released Redfall

[pure snow]

Yea one of there studios got the axe by xbox

[devout thunder]

western maza fakka publishers

[leaden stag]

and as punishiment from God, they got sent to the Excecution site

[pure snow]

It's pretty stupid the only reason big company's want to buy you out is so they can close you down

[random hornet]

That was definitely the final nail in the coffin

[devout thunder]

[leaden stag]

Fair enough, it was only this january tbf

[pure snow]

Even high five rush got closed down and they did great

[devout thunder]

So no more Dishonored 3, Titan Fall 3, Half Life 3... oh wait

[leaden stag]

less company so you can monopolize easier

[pure snow]

Facts

[leaden stag]

Yep this is the dumbest thing; they just killed it based on a checklist

Not like it wasn't profitable by any margin, jsut killed cause it was on a list of studios they could close down

[pure snow]

And then said we want more companies like them

Like brother what u just closed them down

[devout thunder]

I remember Titalfall 2 was not a bad sale, right? but bellow EA Sports to the gaaame, expectation, I bet.

[leaden stag]

When the CEO is silent when they get asked on live, you know you fluced up

[pure snow]

Titanfall 3 is apex

It's just a bunch of people looking at a graph and saying how can we make this go up and this go down

[devout thunder]

no more B.T.

[random hornet]

Tango Gameworks makes Hi-Fi Rush and it's a great Xbox release but somehow it ended up being closed down

[pure snow]

Just to satisfy the investors

[random hornet]

Apex Legends is Titanfall 3 without the Titanfall

[pure snow]

Facts

[devout thunder]

yeah, basically. and basically Konami at this point

[pure snow]

It just shows how out of touch the investors are

Like if they had any idea what was going on they would be like wait let's not do this

Cough cough sony

[devout thunder]

but yeah, i didnt know Dishonored studio was closed

sadge times

[pure snow]

Look how many people are in our psn family it's so big we have so many people on here let's try to add PC players to our family

...wait this is bad there fighting back

[random hornet]

Release at the worst time possible (CoD: Infinite Warfare and Battlefield 1)

[devout thunder]

ah, I remember

its like Horizon with BotW and EldenRing

[pure snow]

The racing game or the open world game?

[random hornet]

Infinite Warfare was infinitely hated by many because it's another "sci-fi shooter" But years later, people are now miss futuristic shooters.

[pure snow]

Which horizon?

[devout thunder]

open

[leaden stag]

2nd one Zero dawn and forbidden west

[devout thunder]

both, 1 was with BotW, 2 was with Elden

[opaque swan]

Infinite Warfare story sometimes cool mixed with none sense stuff

like the only think I like with IW is Ethan

that's it

[pure snow]

Me personly I saw that game and I was like I could play horizon or I can play a Zelda game

UNSA whole fleet destroyed in just one fight is basically Operation Praying Mantis all over again

mid story

[devout thunder]

oh wait, my bad, Horizon the politically correct open world game

[pure snow]

Oh man

Guys it's sexist to have attractive women in your game now I guess

[devout thunder]

I even forgot Horizon racing existed

[pure snow]

Can't have nothing anymore

[devout thunder]

Stellar Blade is evil

[random hornet]

Forza?

[opaque swan]

“you crippled their entire space port. so uh... you did all this in less than a year... yeah we don't have any ships to kinda just yeet into space and fight, but I guess they surrendered when they probably have more spies to easily indicate we were kinda screwed with that first assault with the cannons"

[devout thunder]

yes

[pure snow]

Stellar blade is just the male fantasy meanwhile stellar blad having really good combat and story

[devout thunder]

did you see Angela in Silent Hill 2 remake?

[pure snow]

God forza games just print money pick a place add new and old cars have fun races it's so easy

[earnest scroll]

A game can have hot chars and be good
Nah i dont buy it

[devout thunder]

[earnest scroll]

These items are definitely mutually exclusive

[pure snow]

They could make one every other year and it would still take them a long time to run out of locations

[pure snow]

Darksouls the undead kinda looking spicy

[earnest scroll]

[pure snow]

Wait mass effect also

[devout thunder]

[random hornet]

Hades makes dying more engaging due to their storytelling

[devout thunder]

[devout thunder]

Oh shi-

[devout thunder]

Been great hbu

[coral lagoon]

im fine came here because the anime chat i hang out in died

[devout thunder]

Oh well. I'm in a bus. I'm also bored

those new character standards in Western games mostly, been crazy nowadays

ok, P3 and SMT5 I shall buy for the sake of good games and chars

[coral lagoon]

you guys watch anime a bit ot just grind gacha ?

[slim knoll]

That looks horrible

[random hornet]

@devout thunder @leaden stag

[devout thunder]

For me it's a bit of both + playing some console games

[leaden stag]

I mean one is doing its best to be consumer firendly; the other exist purely to monopolize pc games

[slim knoll]

For the epic games depends on the game

[devout thunder]

well, Fortine is ok, I dont have things against it, it is p2Skin at least

[devout thunder]

At least?

[coral lagoon]

i dont trust it

[devout thunder]

I "played" Azur Lane long enough, and I spent a lot in skins, fair enough for a "free" game

not that 50/50 BS we have nowadays

[devout thunder]

COD WZ : what am I then?

[random hornet]

It feels like the Vbucks I grind in STW are only used in Battle Royale because I barely need to use Vbucks for the loot llama unboxing because I already have like many heroes, blueprints, and survivors

[random hornet]

FULL PRICED GAME AND STILL PLACING PRICY SKINS

[devout thunder]

imagine playing COD

[random hornet]

Yes, I know you are referring to WZ but they are mainly from mainline CoD themselves

[devout thunder]

dont worry, we will now also put ADS in game

[devout thunder]

Talk about monetization

[devout thunder]

I didn't play it so

[random hornet]

Skins these days went from "holy crap, dude get it from the 0.1% achievement" To "bruh, I bet his wallet is bottomless"

[devout thunder]

damn, imagine irl supermarket/shopping product ads in EA games? insane

[random hornet]

ADS? Aim Down Sights?

[devout thunder]

you clear a stage, 30s ads, you die 15s ads

[random hornet]

Product placement?
There's literally Monster Energy Drink in Death Stranding

[devout thunder]

I mean, ads which stop the game, like TV series ads, you know

[devout thunder]

Yeah

[floral imp]

@devout thunder Comiket looking good lol

[devout thunder]

You reminded me of a story that battlefield 6 is gonna filled with ads

[devout thunder]

wait, this is a joke right? BLUE ARCHIVE BLUE ARCHIVE BLUE ARCHIVE BLUE ARCHIVE BLUE ARCHIVE BLUE ARCHIVE BLUE ARCHIVE

[random hornet]

Might as well call it Blue Comiket

[devout thunder]

I heard it, didnt know for which game or publisher

[floral imp]

BA dominated last Comiket too. Now there is even more BA. They almost got and entire hall lol

[devout thunder]

EA of course

[coral lagoon]

babe its time again to grind wuwa

[devout thunder]

wait, where is the WuWa part? (yes, I know we dont have the Genshin part as well) but just to trigger ppl

[coral lagoon]

no dont want to :C

[devout thunder]

BA sells, and ppl know what worth investing their effort, fair enough

they dont have identity crises as well

[coral lagoon]

people dont do genshin doujins much because its a 3d game

[devout thunder]

is that so?

[coral lagoon]

and for some reason those get less love

[devout thunder]

interesting 🤔

so JP prefer 2D, than 3D, well, anime culture I think

[coral lagoon]

you know since they can just use the models for seggs or maybe not idk why 3d games get less doujins

[coral lagoon]

yea

[devout thunder]

now lemme check the real one

[devout thunder]

Maybe they have ptsd

[coral lagoon]

i have ptsd from all the guro hoyo fandom posts

[random hornet]

Arknights:

RYOMA AND GURO ALL DAY LONG

[coral lagoon]

also true

[devout thunder]

OH| wait, it is not a joke! LUUUUUL

[leaden stag]

Any americana server? Please help my friend

[wispy raft]

Do you wanna know why JP don't do doujins for Genshin as much as BA? Because doujins relating to school theme is a hotselling thing.

[coral lagoon]

Wuwa just crashed myoniot

[coral lagoon]

Yes but fate is w thing and that isn't a school

[wispy raft]

But remember... Fate started in a school setting with Shirou, Rin and Sakura

[devout thunder]

oh Umamusu cicle is also big in C104, not big as BA, but still

[floral imp]

I told you lol

[wispy raft]

But that's because horse betting as a trend is famous atm

[devout thunder]

I mean, I really thought it was a joke photoshop

[devout thunder]

looks like

I even created an account to access the website

[coral lagoon]

yea started like it but its not what people make a dojins off even that has little doujins fate go isnt school and is massive

[devout thunder]

Umamusu is this

[coral lagoon]

oh i just got a good crit attack echo pog

[floral imp]

https://tenor.com/view/manhattan-cafe-uma-uma-musume-gif-26028328

[devout thunder]

GLOBLUL when

[floral imp]

💀

[coral lagoon]

installing new honkai impact update i hate the game but i just really want to see the story

[devout thunder]

is part 2 good at least?

[wispy raft]

Even if FGO isn't a school setting. The roots of the Fate series is still there. Why did you think they setup the main heroine and MC in a senpai-kouhai relationship.

[devout thunder]

ok, cant find any Hoyo circle in C104 🤔

[coral lagoon]

senpai kouhai isnt a school thing and orgina fate bearly gets any doujins

[coral lagoon]

its mid i personaly dont like it and im not a hoyo hater i just dislike how it didnt give us a time to develop character and i dont like the rehashed notflamechasers plot

[devout thunder]

well, good to know, so I will not waste my time with it 🤔

[wispy raft]

It's not strictly a school thing sure but remember that the FGO MC and main heroine are still in the highschool age range.

[coral lagoon]

true but so are honkai impact character and fate stay night are in litteral school and those bearly get any doujins while fate go has multuple non higschool characters

[toxic citrus]

Doujin

[devout thunder]

doing maths is about 900 booths about Blue Archive in Comiket 104. Umamusu has about 600.

[wispy raft]

The only reason FSN hasn't had much doujin is because it is dated. FGO is a current well known thing. As for any Hoyogames. They don't do as many of those as popular Hoyoverse is because Hoyoverse is a foreign IP. Blue Archive has a Yostar as its publisher in Japan. Why do you think Azur Lane and BA is thriving in the doujin market.

[devout thunder]

btw, lemme check AL

180 booths, not bad
