That's the worst argument. I'm not sitting through one or two days worth of my free time just for it to start getting good. Like, god-damned. Give me a taste of the good stuff before I've spent almost half a day with the thing.
>It's a good story for a video game
Pic related.
If you want to sell me on the story of a game, it shouldn't sell me on the quality of the game's story like it's a retard trying their best. Either the story is good, or the story is not.
It doesn't get a pass because it's a fucking $60 videogame instead of a $10 book or a $20 DVD. Hell, it should do BETTER for that kind of money.
>>340455820
No, but see, you don't understand.
A few optional outfits getting changed or removing minigames which North American law enforcement agencies would consider child porn is an egregious sin which is unforgivable, even if it's 0.001% of the game's total content.
>>340454063
Where is this girl from OP?
>>340456204
I'd argue that there's a vast difference between a video game story and a movie/book story, purely because of the ways in which the medium can be used to illustrate certain things. The lore of Dark Souls, for example, wouldn't really work in book format.
That said, I get what you're saying. I actually really likedvanillaPersona 4, but I like it more for the characters and atmosphere than the actual story.

>>340457409

What's wrong with cheese? You may not like it, but it has tons of appeal to a decent amount of people.

>>340457609
>>340457695
The point is when you point out a game has a stupid story segment, like the laughing scene in FFX, and then people's defense is 'its suppose to be cheesy'. When a game is trying to be overly dramatic 95% of the time, then pulls out a stupid 'cheesy' scene like that, it doesn't work.
If the whole game is just being cheesy on purpose, then that's a different matter.
>>340458210
>any game
>It has a 'deep' story
Anyone who uses the word deep to describe a story, you know its a bad story.

THESE ARE TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THINGS FFS
>>340460038
anime isnt really comparable to games, especially considering its pretty concrete in what sells and what doesnt
i cant really think of many genres that have been consistently shit in games with no examples of good games in the past 5 years. which ones would you think have been long term shit?
>>340458150
>He wants to have to take it to court
>He wants to spend thousands in legal fees and see his name smeared across the media before the Not Guilty verdict
The punishment is the process in North America, fucko. It doesn't matter if you're legally in the right, you'll have to defend yourself in court to prove it.
This has been proven time, and time, and time again.
Go ahead and import a bunch of ero-loli doujins which don't actually go explicit, but ride that line as hard they can and show it to your local PD and prosecutor.
We both know you're in for a fuck of a long trial you probably can't afford, even if you're legally right.
Best case scenario, you're out thousands in loans and your name has been repeatedly smeared across outlets, ruining your life even if you're ultimately found Not Guilty.
Go ahead and do it, motherfucker. I dare you.
>>340455919
I remember when "normie" was a /jp/ thing. I liked it better then.
>>340460696
>which ones would you think have been long term shit?
Fighting games
FPS
>>340458392
Don't you even try to defend Thiaf you piece of burrick shit.
>>340454781
>>340454846
to be completely fair, things do get easier when you know how to play
>>340460941
FPS id argue since rainbow six siege is the most fun ive had in a multiplayer game in years, and overwatch is fairly decent
i aint gonna touch fighting games cause from what i can see the FGC aint ever gonna be happy, so i'll go halfway on that one
>>340459897
>>340460070
its the satisfaction of getting better at something
>>340454063
>it's good because a bunch of other people say so!

Then they shell $70 for something they play for about 45 minutes before it gets put down and forgotten about. Repeat forever.
>>340457823
if you don't think the wonky glitches some games have aren't part of the charm you can kill yourself

i fucking hate jrpgs, any game thta uses grinding as a positive mechanic hates fun

If you're grinding that means you aren't exploring well enough.

best JRPG series coming through
>>340462062
can definitely be, but is more an openworld rpg. its S.T.A.L.K.E.R., don't know which one. if you do check it out though, make sure you switch static lighting to dynamic in the settings. seriously missing out without it
>>340462196
I don't know what to tell you then, anon. Only jrpgs I've ever needed to do grinding were Dragon Quests, Earthbound and SMT games, and then only because I was trying for certain drops or monsters.
I hate it when people try to justify a bad game with "it's fun" and when you wanna get a deeper, more meaningful answer from them for their choice they go all "WOAH DUDE STOP BEING SO JADED I BET YOU DONT HAVE FRIENDS MUST BE A RIOT PARTYING WITH YOU AUTISM AUTISM AUTISM"
>>340462384
DQV's first boss along with DQVIII mandate grinding
My friend just got me a part-time job, told me there's this autistic guy (actually autistic) that is into gaming and I might have shit to talk about with him. I meet the guy and try to talk to him, but he says shit like
>Hotline Miami looked too hard so I never tried it
>Shadow of the Colossus is a bad game because it's hard to climb the bosses
>Uncharted is my favorite franchise
>I never finished any Final Fantasy because they got too hard
>>340462408
I guess you are not able to have fun
>>340462621
you don't want just generic autism in a friendship, you want specifically aspergers
>>340459897
>tfw it stops being fun once you get good at the multiplayer and you just start to want to play a new game
>>340462621
>FF is too hard
you sure this guy isnt some streamer that gets his kicks trolling people?
>>340462764
I don't want autism in any friendship, anon. Basically this guy talks too much and my friend figured I could hold conversations with him better, and I'm not gonna outright ignore the guy
>>340460712
>The law says it's unforgivable!
>Except it doesn't care
>B-but you'll go to court for it because the NSA is always watching and they'll know and they really care about loli doujin, really! That's their number one priority!
This entire scenario would basically require one to go up to a judge and say, "I have borderline CP, prosecute me, but I'm gonna plead not guilty!" That's ignoring the fact that this was about localizers removing content rather than importation anyways.
>>340462408
yeah i cant believe people who just say something like that. they fooled me into getting homefront which they dropped in two weeks, even got the 20 dollar ONLINE PASS poof all interest left
>>340462924
Maybe he played FFIII or IV on DS which are hard. Or more accurately, make you grind 20 levels just to finish the last dungeon.
Otherwise yeah, really troll worthy.

>>340454063
>Battleborn is really good. Its just that people think it's like Overwatch.

those comments are mostly taken from angry Persona fags complaining that its either too hard or not enough waifus. and one guy that thinks Nocturne was betterwhich it is
>"Game is too easy after grinding for 10 hours/exploiting something"
>"Who cares about stories in fighting games?"
>"Writing Writing Writing Writing"
>"Why does ___ get so many games? I don't wanna buy this shit"
>>340454063
I know it's annoying to hear, but this really is true with some games. Some mechanics simply aren't available until you are a decent way into the game. Sometimes the entire structure of the game changes after reaching big milestones.
>>340463916
DQV really would have been better if you had a cart and could collect monsters from the begining
>>340464067
DQV is fine. The one major time Dragon Quest fucked up was constantly removing characters from your party in Dragon Quest VII. But not having a cart. So you always had to rely on what characters you had remaining in your party. Same flaw Final Fantasy IV had. Endless character deaths and removals often left you with only 3 or 4 party members instead of the full 5 members.

He's pointing out that of fucking course you will get better the more you play the game. It doesn't make the game easy.

And here's the thing.
No publisher wants to be the one who gets someone caught up in that legal bruhaha. Whatever fucking marginal retard censorship fags who don't buy their game because they don't get to make bathing suits transparent on lolis isn't a large enough slice of their profits to be worth the risk.
North American sexuality is fucking backwards when it comes to consenting adults. No sane publisher is going to push the boundaries on loli content.
And it's not the law, retard. It's lawmakers, some of whom still consider ABORTION unacceptable.
So go ahead and bitch, but all it takes is one search warrant for something unrelated and boom, you're in a heaping helping of bullshit.
I don't blame NA publishers in the least for censorship, especially given how fucktarded the USA is.
