Confession night?
I don't watch anime. I've watched like maybe 3-4 shows in the past 2 years.
Sorry.

The last time I watched a whole anime series was before I get married in 2014. I just don't have the time to watch anime again nowadays, as I prefer to spend my free time playing vidya games. I still love anime-ish games though.

I also rarely watch anime, but when I do I pretty much marathon multiple seasons in a weekend. I'm kinda paralyzed by choice since there's like 200 new shows every year and I don't know what's good. I also haven't read a manga in years.

But anime in games? I'll take all of it.

Wow Project Scissors is alive.

To Our Supporters,
Thanks for waiting!
We've released some small progress reports on the Backer Forum, but we've been remiss in providing an in-depth update for you. We know that many of you are wondering "How's development going?", and so we've prepared a big update for you all!
First, we'd like to share with you the model for last of the major characters to be revealed, Jerome:

In addition, we've released information about Monica's and Leonard's sections of the game, but we are now ready to reveal information about the 3rd and final section of the game, Rooney's!

This is a ship, right? That can't possibly be good!

It's a children's playroom on the ship, but there's no children to be found. Where have they gone?
And to give you an idea of scale, here's a shot of our main characters in a lineup:

Please note that the above images are a work in progress (for example, final lighting settings and post processing is not implemented) and do not represent final quality, but we hope you'll agree that NightCry is progressing nicely!
In this vein, the various parts that make up a game are really coming together. We're not able to provide a release date at this time, but the major tasks remaining are primarily finishing up content for Rooney's section and then focusing on adding in detail, adjusting play balance, and polishing the "chrome" (shaders, optimizations, touch-ups, etc.). The first information about the voice recording for the game should be available in the very near future as well!
Lastly, work on the physical Rewards for our Backers is gearing up, and we will be releasing more information about that in the coming days as well.
Nude Maker is working hard to finish NightCry on time & to a high quality. We're very excited to be showing you, our supporters, just how much effort has gone into NightCry, and there's more on the way!

I watched Ghost in the Shell once on TV more than 10 years ago and probably didn't make it all the way through. That would be the sum total of my Anime watching. Does Astroboy as a kid count?

AC: Syndicate's OT is not caustic enough to dethrone The King of snarky |OT|s.

Still can't believe I bought preordered it in spite of everything.
Click to expand...

There's quite a big difference. First of the DAII OT is actually funny and is just a piss take from start to finish. Secondly it was a response to how BioWare had taken what was a great, compelling game and fucked it up for the sequel resoundly shown off to the media with it's AAAAwesomness and had that awful demo out before hand. And finally the vast majority of that OTs chatter is light hearted and in jest.

With AC games there has been a braying mob lurking about since III waiting to have a dig when they can which has only grown larger as these boards have grown themselves. No game should be immune from criticism or brought to task for the devs/pubs actions but for a while now it's gone beyond that and just ruins any discussion about the game, or Ubisoft titles in general. Most threads about them will have some clever dick banging on about climbing towers.

As I said earlier I can take a joke OT and to be fair there wasn't too much wrong with the Syndicate OT but the crowd it attracts is what fucks things up good and proper. Give it a couple of weeks after it's out and they'll have moved on (hopefully).

The Dear Leader said:
Huh, interesting, I do remember hearing about that with the console versions, didn't know it was in the PC version too.
Click to expand...

Well in its default behaviour Rage dynamically scales a lot of things to try and keep performance stable. You can keep it in check with config files and various Cvars and the last time I played it was way more better than the first few months on release. Conversly Wolfenstien TNO and The Evil Within don't appear to alter anything on PC.

Yeah, it's kinda disturbing to see the Syndicate is being judged even way before it's released.

I wasn't around when DA II OT is happening on gaf, but I really hope I did.
I enjoyed DA II though. Well, I'm such a huge Bioware fan, afterall.

So I thought I'd better add Undertale to ye olde wishlist and thought I'd check out who owns it on my friends list. Hmmm either the game is 2 hours long and not replayable, has cards and all but InfiniteNine (at a mind boggling 26 playtime hours too) is a filthy idler.

I only played it on PC but really didn't like the kb&m controls to do more than the first 'act'. Of course now I can sort of rectify that with my Steam Controller. Hmmmmm do I?

BioWare of Baldur's Gate II times have long since been dead for yonks, DA:O was probably the last title to carry that banner but KOTOR and Mass Effect I have a soft spot for and I can sort of deal with ME 2 & 3 even if they are action spectaculars. Didn't mind DA:I but it became a bit of a podcast/footy on in the background game after a while (although that's what Diablo III is for). I'm looking forward to Andromeda and hope exploration plays a big key again but BioWare have a big audience to 'please' now so there will be concessions made somewhere.

It's not 2 hours long, no, but Infinite played it many times, so it's not 26 hour long game either.


edited: on totally unrelated note, old version of idle master stopped working for me altogether, and manually setting up a new version doesn't work either.
Something about wrong cookie info (which isn't wrong), while a new version imitates idling but no idling happens.

Luckily, between the abominable battle and encounter design and the ridiculous amount of level re-use you don't even get time to appreciate how terrible they were!

I thought it was considered not a bad game, what's so bad about combat?

You know I'm surprised that despite me supposedly shitting on your favourite hobby of cartoons from a distant land if you actually look at quite a few of the games I played this year, the ones I end up looking forwards to, have previously enjoyed or wrote a recommendation for the OT then I'm like the biggest fucking hypocrite this side of Christendom. Surprised no one has called me out on it yet and if not I expect to get torn a new one if I bagsy the Lightning Returns Recommendation for next months OT as I've got a fair few interesting things to say about my time with that game :p

Well it's actually about 40 hours since I did my genocide run on the DRM-free version on the laptop to avoid the consequences of doing that.
It's pretty replayable though since different things can happen from your actions, new events can happens, and such.
When I watched Cheesecake play it I even saw a new thing I hadn't seen before which is odd since I played it a lot and watched a ton of other peoples play-throughs for their reactions.

Well the game is terrible and there is enough info for that to point to that. Not my place to tell people what to buy but I think that money is better spent elsewhere.

Your mind gets invaded whether you want it or not. :)

Seriously, it's somewhat the same with myself - I never ever said anything negative towards these, you know, Asian themes and characters, etc, but I felt cautious towards them and felt like they are something that just isn't for me. Until this thread and NeoGAF in general, which made me buy several things, wishlist many more and overall create a lot of interest... it's contagious (in a good way).
