Also, check out the Death of a Fansite game - it's out now and I am enjoying it!
Man, I really want to get into Taro Yoko's stuff one day
No, Drakengard, you're party contains a bloodlusting psychopath, a pedophile, a crazy cannibal, an immortal child who becomes friends with the pedophile, a human hating racist dragon, and your quest is to save the first guy's sister who secretly hates her job of being a high priestess and not so secretly wants to smurf her brothers brains out cause he's the only person she cares about besides herself. The game is a bit of a deconstruction on RPGs and asks the question of what kind of "hero" would be willingly and gleefully fine with murdering every soldier in an empire to save the day. The answer is not a very good person.
You mean Persona /? You think that was intentional?
Man that just reminds me of the game I'm playing now, and the team's efforts to make you hate everyone in the game.
They also kind of did the opposite with some characters. One woman, for example, was pretty much just a nymphomaniac in the books, but she's an interesting, nuanced, likable character in the game
That might work, though I would say playing EP without either prior Persona game as the title has way more references to P1 than you would think. Yeah, I learned about Ghost Stories from one of the VA's who worked on it. He says it's one of his favorite animes he ever worked on.
Oooh, I suppose a good comparison with the Witcher would be playing Eternal Punishment without playing Innocent Sin - it's still cool and you get an air of mystery that returning players won't get, but you still miss out on the complete picture of the story.
I mean, I still haven't beaten the game, so we might get more. The Wild Hunt in general is a cool concept, but it just gets explored much more in the books - but is also kind of a secondary thing, so it's neat how the game brings it to the forefront. I'm just surprised so many people enjoy this game so much when the game's presentation of the antagonist so far feels fairly simple if you don't know the stuff Geralt knows at this point. And as for shinchan - that's amusing since it's usually the opposite XD And those Ghost Story scenes were amazing. As one YouTube commenter put it: "Ghost Story: The Otiginal Abridged Series"
No, Shin-Chan had a lot of toilet humor, but was pretty family friendly for Japan. The issue with the English version was that the series was a bit too juvenile and vulgar to get past censors for children shows but the stories were too childish for adults to appreciate, so they changed the script to make it more adult orientated. As for the Witcher villain, I'm a bit disappointed to hear that all of his characterization is in the novels only. That's some serious ball dropping by the game designers if you ask me because it hurts the players who didn't bother reading the books.
