Remember when villains were actually horrible people who raped and killed lolis for fun?

wheat eh
I don't think anyone wants to remember that trilogy.
>>321615812
First game was pretty cool.
Second game was a mess.
Third game was completely rushed.
>>321615192
Dante what are you doing
>>321615192
When is Albedo-day?
>>321615959
>third game was completely rushed
and turned out to be the best somehow
I'm just happy xeno games are getting fully funded/finished now
>>321615192
villains who are obvious in their actions are babby tier. proper villians are more insidious and clever
What was Albedo's deal again?
>>321616236
He couldn't die
So he just went wild!
>>321616278
I know that but i mean in three what was his deal there i forget its been so long?
>>321616108
As Xeno Chonicles? Yeah, no, give me a REAL Xenosaga ending. That that rushed garbage that was 3.
>>321616151
Sure why not? Villains need to be political correct too. It's not like they should rape and kill children. No, that's just sick!
There should be no children or even teens in video games ever. Only strong genderqueer individuals over 18 years old.
>>321616108
I'm glad Takahashi is making games like Xenoblade instead of trainwrecks like Xenosaga, but X really needed a villain like Albedo. We had three villains with about fifteen minutes of screen time who's character arcs were
"I'm a squid"
"I hate humans"
"Check out my cool mech"
"Whoops I died"
>>321616446
Taka has some really bad blood with Xenosaga
Not only did him and his team get fucked by Namco, but after the 1st one, his wife was let go, had a still born, and tried to commit suicide.
And then Taka lost his two buds who got let go from Namco.
>>321616641
At least Taka says the next game he does will be more story based than X. He mentioned that they cut out a ton of story due to the fact the main character became a silent CAC as well as this being the team's first HD game.
>>321616641
ya, he used a small faction of the samaarians in X as they couldn't do a big story for their first hd game
can't wait to see the samaar
>>321616343
He got calmer and started wearing robes.
He became lame
>>321616591
can we not turn this into sjw shit
there is literally nothing wrong with wanting villains to be subtle
>>321615192
Besides finny fun, this was the most horrible "dad walks in" cutscene
>>321616591
look kid, proper villains don't act like animals, they get others to do that. an unthinking animal is lower than beings able to use their intellect to control others. stick to your storybook baddies and black hat villains, for now. one day you'll grow up to appreciate an intriguing and truly powerful villain
>>321615192
What's with the total art style dissonance? Albedo is anime, but he's respectable enough in his appearance. The loli looks like its from some shovelware.
I liked the saga games.
It's a shame they werent very popular.
The series had some really cool concepts, if a little cliche.
>>321615192
Wait, those are VILLAINS now?
Shit, I remember when raping and killing lolis for fun made you the hero.
So who's the hero now?
>>321617202
They fixed the weird artstyle in the next 2 games, although Momo still looks like a child on purpose
>>321615192
To be fair, the "censored" version is much more gruesome cause he does all of that bearhanded.
>>321616641
but is he a kid
>>321617459
Is that from the sequels? It's significantly less fucking awful.
>>321615192
>robots
>people
hits the red haired kid even harder when he removes her personality and she acted like a fucking blank robot showing that as a person she didnt develop shit in terms of emotions
>>321616108
>that ending
>best
nah
>>321617459
Everyone looked weird in Xeno2's artstyle. Even the women had man face.
>>321617459
>Fixed
Pls, it's just that monolith has a bitch of a time trying to adapt the dude's art to 3d. X is showing great progress in the fight against adapting Tanaka's art to 3d
His 2d art is fucking great though.
>>321617459
How sad that's nicer to look at than Xenoblade's models.
>>321617910
XBX I mean
>>321617642
>>321617670
Next time I'll just say it looks better.
>>321618036
Well then, that's just like, your opinion man.
>>321617910
>CGI movie vs Ingame models
Nigga nigga nigga nigga
>>321618312
Even in game they were more aesthetically pleasing.
>>321618516
That is obviously emulated
>>321617518
It's from 3. Because of her transgenic design, she's grown up slightly by that point. Notably she's even starting to get tits.
>>321617507
Rhyzz is, so 1/3
What a shame
>>321615192
I'm 24 years old and have played video games since I was younger than 3, and I can say with absolute certainty that this is the dumbest fucking thing I've ever seen in a video game. This should be illegal. How did they get people to voice this dialogue? I don't even want to think about what kind of abysmally retarded moron came wrote this shit. I'm now convinced there is no god
>>321618853
I was waiting for him to do some crazy shit in TPP
never happened, instead we got an absolutely idiotic plan that rivaled even hot coldman's in stupidity
no CQC fight or something to make up for it either. What a dissapointment
>>321619067
>How did they get people to voice this dialogue?
With money I presume. I haven't played these games, but I did play 6 hours of Xenogears, the game the developers made before this one, and it had similarly poor writing for those 6 hours.
>>321619067
Grow up some balls, you pathethic eunuch.
>>321618853
fuck. everything about mgs 5 is a wasted potential.
>>321618582
felt the same way when I viewed them in SD. Model design is what irritated me. Elma's the only one that looked particularly good. Many models looked liked half-hearted rushed npcs.
>>321616151
>not thinking both could be executed well
Underage.
>>321617121
Not to say raping and murdering lolis can't be an excellent way to demonize a villain when executed properly.
>>321618582
Have you even played Xenosaga III? It was one of the best looking PS2 games of its time.
>>321622105
The picture is from an emulated game though, look at the font.
>>321619181
What's "good" writing to you?
>>321615192
Sorry but we can't have villains that actually do villainous things anymore. All we can have are people who do morally objectionable things for the greater good because actual interesting villains are deemed too childish.
>>321622494
Morally ambiguous villains seem to be more popular now. But Id rather have that, than
>Im going to destroy the universe
>Why?
>IDK man, fuck off.
>>321622215
Writing that isn't shit.
>>321622494
>>321622706
Well in Albedo's case, he was made into a sympathetic villain after the first game.
They don't paint anything he did as justifiable though, so he's still pretty damn nasty as a villain.
>>321622716
Examples?
>>321622801
>>321622706
I think it would be a nice change of pace to have a villain that just does evil shit for fun. Not a Joker character, but just a guy who doesn't give some dumbass excuse for why he's a villain.
>>321623145
You already got that. His name was Kefka and he was one of the worst villains of all time. His only saving grace is that he accomplishes what he set out to do.
>>321623298
I said not a Joker character. I was thinking more along the lines of Saitama's personality.
>>321622980
Pretty obscure book, I never read Heaven's Gate, but reading up on the group I somehow have the impression that this book would not leave a grand impression on me.
Describe to me why Xenogears writing is bad. Perhaps compare it to this book for a better grasp of understanding of your apparent high quality taste in literature.
>>321623298
What's a good villain to you? And not something that fits exclusively into the the narrowly defined archetype that was previously defined.
>>321615192
That really is an annoyance of mine when the bad guys aren't allowed to say or do inappropriate things
>Lara Croft is almost RAPED
>no shit she's hot as fuck and hes a murderous pirate
>>321623702
Magus from CT was a good villain. Richard from Trails in the Sky is a good villain. Iris from Lufia 2. Melzas from Alundra.
>>321623702
Not him but all of disc 2 suffers from telling, not showing.
Stupid shit like 'Ethos', Wels-, and bad grammar everywhere
Useless characters, Maria gets like one line in disc 2
Overuse of Proper Nouning the player to try and confuse him
Way too much cutscene incompetence
OP, there was no loli rape in that WebM. I feel cheated.
>>321623298
Monster is all about that, check out out.
>>321615192
Oh shit. Should I watch the uncut version online? Or is there an uncut iso somewhere?
Eric Sparrow villain>Edgy shit
>>321624241
In fairness a lot of that is a result of bad translation and budgeting problems. a character becoming irrelevant after some point isn't necessarily a sign of bad writing either imo. It can just as easily be a change in focus.
>>321624798
That's what happens when you have one guy translate and localize a text heavy RPG in a couple of months.
