So... anyone playing this?
>all those Snakes
Played it a while ago, and got a refund on it. It's a super generic F2P FPS with bad netcode.
I'd consider it but >nexon
>>335998376
Is that Ishikawa on the right? he was never a field operative.
It's basically a more shitty Blacklight: Retribution.
Has three small maps so far, but it does seem rather generous with the amount of GP you earn, so at least it's not too pay-to-win.
>>335998521
Looks like theyve adjusted the netcode and tickrate. But yeah its pretty generic and easy to play. Not much in terms of weapons/attachments to unlock. Put a couple hours into it so far and have 2 guns almost completely modded. No other guns I'll need.
Also has very few maps. I would be surprised if it was launching this year.
>>335998559
Game is just a set up for the terrible movie coming out.
>>335998559
Other than the fact that he operated in the field is literally the only reason he ever met Motoko.
>>335998705
As part of Section 9.
>>335998705
>>335998767
IDK the "lore" or basis of the game. But all the agents are not themselves while you play. It looks like you have an operative but then Dive into some dolls to play 5v5 with.
I picked Togusa cause he's a badass. Yet we're all robots in the arena. But he also doesn't start with his signature gun. So maybe its all a huge oversight while its in development. But i like to suspend my disbelief for the sake of fun.
>DL it because free
>asks for my Nexon account

>check my emails
>apparently I got a code for the game a month ago anyway
>put it in and it still works
>mfw
Played it for about 3 or 4 hours so far. I'm enjoying it but it's very formulaic CoD-style (I'm not super experienced with the genre so if there's a better comparison then yeah) FPS. The Ghost in the Shell aspect is pretty much just a skin over it all, though as far as that's concerned there are some nice touches like them having their anime dub VAs.
Motoko cleavage and butt is real fucking nice though.
>>335998376
Chose Saito to be tacticool.
Realise what a huge mistake I made after I realised how much urban warfare was involved.
>>335998559
He was when they raided that island full of anti-augs. And when they got hit by the Umi Bozu.
At least they gave him a hacking-related job.
I'm still wondering who that 10th OC character is.
>one day free

Call of Duty with GITS models. Utter shit.
Isn't it Korean? Into the trash it goes.

Oh, you.
Is the SAC anime worth watching? I liked the movies.
>>336000540
Yes, nigga, go watch it. It's amazing.
>>336000540
Yes, the SAC anime is great.
>>335998376
Literally the worse possible thing you could do with a GitS game license.
Unimaginative, uncreative, not even a hint of what a real GitS could be.
>>335998376

>>336002636
Original character Doughnut Steele.
>>336002851
My thread is older.
>>336000540
Yes. It's completely different to the movies though. It's much closer to the manga.
Controversial opinion: Everything GitS since the very first movie is absolute garbage in comparison.
>>336000790
>>336000582
>>336002968
Thanks, I will make sure to check it out.
What about other GitS video games? Anything of note?
>>336002974
That is indeed a controversial and very wrong opinion
>>336002974
That's ok anon, everyone is wrong sometimes.
Arise IS utter garbage, however.
I watched the Gits movie in netflix for the first time yesterday, while i loved the setting, the history is kinda convoluted and i felt it suddenly ends. There's more to watch? Anime or another movies?
>>336003248
That's how GitS is.
Watch SAC and the second movie (Innocence)
>>336000540
Nope, compared to the movies it's nothing special.
>>336002974
Truth. The first one was very close to the classics of SF like Blade Runner.
>>336003514
Innocence is closer to Blade Runner
>>336002974
I found the first movie very boring and pretentious.
SAC however is what made me fall in love with GitS.
>>336003631
>I found the first movie very boring and pretentious.
You're talking about Innocence.
>>336003325
Wich order?
Sac > movie?
>>336003687
you can do whatever
>>336003687
The movie takes place after the first movie, but both of them technically takes place after SAC I believe
>>336003687
Different continuations.
>>336003248
Read the manga. Everything else related to GitS is fucking bad.
>>336003651
No the first movie made me very tired while watching it. Matoko's character was extremely bland especially in comparison with SAC.
>>335998376
What's the full roster?

>>336006496
That's how games should be.
>>336006496
Its based off an anime fuck you expect
And yeah that's Batou
>>336006496
Major always had tits out, except for the movie version
>>336006496
who would shoot a woman with her tits out?
>>336006496
They're clearly augmented with armor padding.
>>336006496
Major has cyborg tiddays, could be full of ballistic gel for all we know.
>>336006573
Tachis are in the game, part of the capture mode. You cap a point and one drops in. It's correctly scaled and even has the right voice.
Not trying to defend the game, it is what it is, but it's not awful and they do seem to care about making the characters accurate to the show even though it's a bog standard azn fps
>>335998591
>Blacklight: Retribution
Oh hey, I liked that unapologetically shitty game.
>>336003853
>Matoko's character was extremely bland
She was supposed to be doll-like. Shown in how she never once blinks, always has a wide-eyed stare etc. Before they just made her another chatty anime character with generic insert personality.
are you really on a waiting list or thats bullshit and they stright give you access?
>>336006496
The major is the only one who's full cyborg.
Also it is implied that she may be a bisexual male int the body of a female, she also end up in the body of a male at the end of the manga.
>>336007259

>>336007979
All the cheesy fucking free kill loadouts killed it for me. Headshots and being able to track targets used to matter before people started building 200 damage incendiary BARs and one-burst burstfire rifles. And then they decided to encourage it by adding the Anti-Materiel Rifle even though the stuff in the in-match store system should've filled the 1hk niche and left it at that. May as well just go play any old shitty game with instagib at that point.

It's also been quite a few generations since the last war, and those two world wars were caused by the same socio-economic crisis around germany.
One of the new world wars was based around Vietnam and caused a massive refugee crisis on the same scale as the current one.
Also pretty sure the year is around 23XX
>>335998376
yeah it was pretty alright. liking the show definitely helped

Why in fuck did they think this was a good design choice?
>>336009145
SAC is set in the late 2030's, what's your point? and WW4 wasn't even nuclear, it was just Vietnam 2.
Hell, even WW3 wasn't full blown nuclear.

>>336010365
>>336010376
Well how would you two fucks would have made it, then?
>>336010492
I'd either clone Neotokyo or produce Max Payneish TPS with cyber abilities.
Put emphasis on proper gunplay and ballistics, if it has to be multiplayer, add a number of gamemodes like onslaught or harcore S&D to add tactical element to the game.
>>336008859
Faggot child poster. GitS is set in the late 2020s/early 2030s. Frankly at the current rate we're going I wouldn't be surprised if at that point IRL we're STILL mostly seeing the M16 and AK-47, or similar guns as today, used worldwide in general. The US Army has so far failed abysmally at every attempt to develop a new general purpose infantry weapon, they keep starting programs and then canceling them after a few billion is spent. And even once a gun is decided on rampup takes many years.
Not that this game isn't shit though.
>>335998376
literally cash grab: the game
>>336010937
>they keep starting programs and then canceling them after a few billion is spent
Any reason for that? It sounds like a massive waste of money.
>>336010492
Is it even hard to think of something else? The fuck? What's your problem. I can't think of a shittier route to take Ghost in The Shell to a video game. It has a beautiful world, characters and stories set up already to be used.
>>336010492
Literally cyberpunk Rainbow Six. Like old RS with the planning and fireteams. Add some vehicles and emphasis on managing IT networks offensive/defensively.
>>336011113
If it's anything like their other weapon/military hardware programs it's usually some smart guy going 'we need a new x', they dump tons of money into the project and then it's time for budget cuts and the project is dropped so that they can afford to wage actual war on in Middle-east and shit. Or they get some fancy new weapon designed but then realize it costs a lot more to produce than some ancient (but reliable/tested/guaranteed to work) weapon and doesn't actually offer any huge improvement so the project is again dropped because they can get more bang for their buck using old tech.
I just wish more people played Blacklight Retribution.
>>335998376
>anyone playing this
yeah like 15 different servers currently going
>>336011431
Thanks, I had no idea old weapon were so reliable even today.

>not too pay to win
it's not pay to win in the slightest. Sure you can buy the weapons off the bat if you so wish but hardly any of them are OP enough for it to warrant being P2W
>>336011565
USA is still using B-52's to bomb ISIS, those things were built in the 50's. They're just so much cheaper to operate than modern high tech stealth bombers.
>>336011493
I'm playing it.
Not a fan of the low recoil but it's still better gunplay than this game.
>>336011113
>Any reason for that? It sounds like a massive waste of money.
Serious answer since you asked:
1) Just to get it out of the way, yes there is some corruption in the process. It's not as bad as commonly gets said at all, but it's there.
2) More importantly our current procurement system has a lot of bad incentives, and it couples with our current political system to make for poor efficiency. This isn't corruption, there's no malice or theft involved, it's just an emergent effect of stupidity. Serious development programs take a long time, during which there will often be multiple administrations and definitely multiple sessions of Congress, and the House in particular is notorious for having zero staying power and constant micro managing and meddling about stuff they don't understand.
3) In all seriousness, developing a real gun that's enough of an improvement to justify replacing the old ones for standard infantry is HARD. There's only so much better you can be at "shoot bit of metal fast" when limited to a human carrier. REAL guns need to also work in shit conditions, covered in mud and sand, and maintained by grunts who may not have graduated high school. They need to be light, portable and immensely reliable. We still face the limits of chemistry and metallurgy, and we haven't had any true leaps forward there of the type that would help with this honestly.
It's a genuinely tough set of problems taken together in one compact unit. Smart gun tech is probably the most likely avenue forward, but that could easily be another decade. Same with advanced processes like molecular level control materials, we can't manufacture stuff out of spun diamond or whatever yet, or developed room temperature super conductors.
Finally worth remembering that we don't live in a vacuum, and the army takes into account allies and commonality as well. In a real war, logistics can easily be more important then even a significant improvement in tech or cost per unit.
>You will never ever have a Deux Ex: HR with better combat set in GITS universe.
That hurts.

>Finally worth remembering that we don't live in a vacuum, and the army takes into account allies and commonality as well. In a real war, logistics can easily be more important then even a significant improvement in tech or cost per unit.
Just to give a specific example of this: one of the design features of the US main battle tank (the Abrams) was a multi-fuel turbine power plant, so it can basically run on fucking any hydrocarbon fuel at all. It can use not just diesel, any grade of gasoline, kerosine, jet fuel, but in principle a gas turbine could operate off of fucking olive oil (albeit with less range).
However in practice the military long since standardized on just using JP-8 everywhere for every vehicle both land and air except very specific exceptions. Even though it's more expensive per unit, the advantage of never having to think about balancing how much of different types they have or dealing with alternate logistics or whatever is so great that it doesn't matter.
Same with guns, there is a big advantage in just using the same rounds wherever. It's not that it couldn't be overcome, but it's yet another reason that a new gun merely performing, say, 20% better, wouldn't be enough. Yes it'd be in arguably better then current ones, but just a little doesn't justify all the work and trouble.

It's complete shit.
When I played my first match the maps reminded me of this other F2P trash I had played called Metro Conflict. I looked it up and couldn't find it on Steam anymore. Apparently they shut it down. I'm almost positive Nexon bought the assets and slapped Ghost in the Shell on it and re-shipped it.

Thanks anon, there are still a few of us oldfags kicking around who put in some effort once in a while. And for all its bullshit, after nearly a decade I still prefer /v/ for general discussion vs most other forums on the net. Wading through the shitposting can still be better then wading through endless dick sucking and karma whoring and forum drama over someone's avatar or other bullshit. /v/ sometimes goes too negative and prone to failure, but good games always have at least some cool dudes and bad games get honestly ripped apart. In a lot of places calling a shit game shit gets you banned. Nowhere is perfect but mildly controlled anarchy actually isn't too bad for overall vidya if you take it in controlled doses.Also come on Santa, maybe there is some good girl out there who could use a bit of TLC from Santa's Little Helper.
