Can fanservice be a bad thing? Was the western fanbase right for criticizing Xenoblade 2 and its fanservice?

Can fanservice be a bad thing? Was the western fanbase right for criticizing Xenoblade 2 and its fanservice?

I think it's juvenile and detracts from other elements

Given that its best selling xenoblade game, the answer is no. No one gives a shit what faggots and pearl clutchers think

Given that its best selling xenoblade game

only because it released the first year of a well-selling console unlike the rest of the Xenoblade games

It's mostly fine

Fanservice is objectively a good thing because it keeps retards away from my favorite games.

What's the exception?

If you don't like a girl with giant tits you're a fag

Xenoblade 2 didn't have enough fanservice not even female nipples.

I guess it’s a cultural divide, but I always wanted to roll my eyes most of the time.
I can look up porn any time I want for free in the comfort of my room, but the game didn’t always used to be this easy, especially for devs who are older than me so I get why they do it.

if you give xenoblade 2 designs ones resembling xenoblade 3's boring/safe ones, you'd get a worse game.
i will agree however a lot of the gacha designs feel like they don't fit in the world due to guest artists.
you can have sex appeal and be a good design.

Tasteful fanservice like 2B's ass is good. In your face fanservice is cringe and screams "we did not know how to make the game interesting so we had to rely on sex appeal".

Looks like Anon Babble's finally starting to bring in people who aren't just brainless coomers. I'm proud of this place.

who made that video again?

It's only good when it's not addressed, when it's just part of the window dressing, it's annoying when it's the pointed anime-style "KYAAA" [12-year-old girl falls down and her skirt flies up and everyone sees her underpants]. When your game has just tits and ass everywhere because that's what it is, that's different.

Me. Got any questions?

Its been 8 years and westoids are still seething over this

For some reason fanservice in multiplat games or games that come out only on PS/Xbox get a pass but a Nintendo game has some and the whole fucking internet bitches, I've never seen youtube, X or resetera bitch about Nier Automata, FF7R, or Persona 5 nearly as much as Xenoblade 2.

gay parades sexualisation: good

video games with skimpy costumes: bad

fuck these people and fuck you for giving them exposure

And it sold off the goodwill of 1

people play 1

excited for sequel game after a decade because 1 is good

more people buy sequel game in anticipation

the xenoblade 2 trannycord has been notified and arrived i see

About time incels weebs realize that woke is the future

le gamingcirclejerk is here

I want to rape and kill Mythra!

a case study

Look, I beat this game and played it for over a 100h, and I can 100% say that there were times I couldn't even look at the cutscenes because of how cringy some sections were, BUT the game is gorgeous, the gameplay is amazing, and the OST is one of the best I've heard, so I gave it a pass. Good game, weird anime shit, but it was expected.

The sexuality was distracting to say the least but it wasn't intrusive, I think the blades all having such different designs was really uncanny though. Xenoblade 3 is objectively the best style between 1 and 2, and it's especially impressive how good they translated to 3D
Saito became an incredible artist with it's time working on Xenoblade 2 and 3 and it shows with his Expelled from Paradise sequel

The West is filled with hypocrites. If it were gay fanservice, they'd slurp it up like Puerto Rico does with loans.

I prefer it over the alternative, which is to ignore it.
Commercial art has to straddle the line between being artistic and being entertainment, and entertainment is primarily about satisfying primal drives. I like sexy girls, so seeing them is entertaining and I'm more likely to spend money.
The problem is, I also like to be immersed in fictional worlds and sometimes directors for things like games or anime can focus too much on TnA even during serious scenes where it really shouldn't be the focus.
Games are so boring these days with regards to the lack of sexy designs though, so I'll make a pass. The best solution for the sexualization issue is just to tie sexiness to the character's personality and posing and not just their visual design.
Bayonetta is probably the best example of this, but I've never really been attracted to Bayonetta, lol

file.png - 992x978, 688.28K

No. They've done studies on this shit. Just like they've done studies on if Vidya causes violence. Stop trying to stir shit up you cockgobbler.

Don't like it? Play another game instead of crying for a whole decade like some sort of culture war incel
Also

Gacha

Xenoblade has come a long way from those potato faces and character models from the original 1 and X

dubfags are never right

I fucking hate xenoblade 2 because it brought in all the horny browns into the series who don't care about anything but tits and ass.
I like those too but calling all the other xenoblade games shit because it doesn't have as much titties as 2 is infuriating. It doesn't help 2 is objectively the worst one in the series.

Goomba fallacy

you can have sex appeal and be a good design.

That's what 3 does you cretin and you just called them boring/safe.

Tbf, Xenoblade 1 and X had incredible artists behind them, it's just they didn't translate well into 3D, which their remasters went on to fix

Cope and die lefty faggots

For me, it's Xenoblade's dogshit battle system.

How do people make videos like this and not understand it makes them insufferable?

Because retards will "watch" this kind of slop in the background while playing gacha or whatever, and then regurgitate what they heard so they can pretend to have opinions. Therefore, they believe they're actually creating worthwhile discussion. Miserable stuff.

It's fine if the characters who are dressed slutty actually have it in their personality to dress slutty. Xenoblade 2 sucks about this because Pyra is supposed to be more reserved and self-conscious yet she dresses like a prostitute.

Even games that are all about being horny like Senran Kagura understand that their outfit designs need to match the characters' personalities. Only a small handful of the Senrans have slutty Shinobi Transformation uniforms, and that's because they ARE slutty. Pic related is a turbo slut and dresses like one. It makes sense. Xenoblade 2 does not make sense.

That's kinda funny because gramps does suggest Pyra to partake into prostitution (selling her body)

you can have sex appeal and be a good design.

That's what 3 does you cretin and you just called them boring/safe.

bro they look like the fucking burger king kids
3 was just bad designs

I couldn't even look at the cutscenes because of how cringy some sections were

Are you the same guy who had to cover his face on stream when watching the Yakuza model taps?

Lmao

You were saying?

ethel2.webm - 722x720, 596.72K

I wouldn't say that, they're just kind of boring, pretty competent other than that.

Was the western fanbase right for criticizing Xenoblade 2

YES.

and its fanservice?

No.

not a main character

vanea.webm - 1000x804, 2.43M

1 couldn't even sell off the goodwill of 1. How many re-releases did it have? 3? The best it ever sold was when it was piggybacking off of 2 with it's DE.

goalpost moving

That's what 3 does

Not really.

The best it ever sold was when it was piggybacking off of 2 with it's DE.

Because the first one released on Wii when the console was basically dead and Xenoblade as a name held no selling power yet, and the second one was a fucking New 3DS exclusive.

No, not until the idea of attractive women being allowed to exist returns to games.
Until then, fanservice serves as an immediate signal that the types who despite attractive women aren't making decisions in the company.

I hope the Teenage Jacket Squad never shows up in another game

nope, same goal post
we were always talking about the main cast

Dahlia_bq2.jpg - 985x526, 326.82K

Those designs are pretty cool dunno what you're on about

I don't care about your gay complaints
How long does it take to bring every rare blade to S+? Feels like I'm going to need an additional 100+ hours here.

3's got way bigger problems than it's boring uninspired character designs.

If you played Xenoblade 2 until the ending and all you think is "man this game is heckin' problematic" you're brain dead.
Complaining about sexualization is not only completely missing the point of what blades represents but also shows how little you cared about the story and characters.
Also you're a fag for disliking fat anime tits.

Boring uninspired designs is not a problem with 3

Can fanservice be a bad thing?

I mean there is a such thing as gratuitous fanservice, the camera panning around Miranda's ass in mass effect 2 as she talks about the trauma she suffered with her father.

Yeah, I have. Why are you a pedotroon Mexican?

Just buy the Dlc and do the quest for Love Potion 500 dozen times.

I have the love source don't worry, but you still need to complete affinity charts before unlocking S trust rank and above.

The designed are too grounded. It's just a bunch of jackets and none that even seem too weird/ otherworldly.
A game like Kingdom Hearts is also mostly just jackets for its characters but the designed are communicated through its unique design language which is a blend of artsy FF stuff and whimsical Disney stuff.

I actually play videogames before talking about them. Can you say the same?

I haven't played ME 3, but isn't the camera focusing on her bum while she's talking about her trauma from her father imply that the trauma was also of a sexual and abusive nature? So it isn't gratuitous fan service, but simply keying you, the observant player, in on the degenerate nature of her father's abuse without telling you explicitly. Show don't tell, as they say. Subtext. That's the media literacy people always say I should learn.

Yeah it is.

Oh, well have fun doing menial labor for Achievements.

Couldn't even get KOS-MOS

You haven't beat the game.

I care less about achievements and more about having every blade usable for post-game stuff.
and some genuine sunk cost since I have a shitton of tachyon/moon matter chips, aux cores to spare and many useful legendary items

I fucking hate gacha...

Wait until you find out there are new gacha blades in NG+.

Please talk about Xenoblade 2

Considering Xenoblade suffers from being a moviegame on par with TLOU and Uncharted, I'd say that fanservice didn't help it in any way.

press x to watch a 50 hour cutscene where your character does a sick kick flip to kill this boss, who immediately gets back up because the story says you lose this fight

I don't get why the mentall ill 3fag attacks 2 so much. Why

People tend to forget they got their clothes from a cargo ship from the city

If you are making those last 50 hours you are playing it wrong.

It's SUPPOSED to be bland and boring!

Kys.

I'm fine with it.
Hell I even praise XC2 for going out of its way for it.
If some easily offended normcore fag doesn't want to play it because pyra's got a fat pair of tits, then I don't want them playing it either.

real time combat game

every encounter is just sitting in one spot and queueing up attacks

Can't really understand why zoomers will act like sexual puritans while constantly celebrating sexual deviancy like homosexuality/polyamory/transecuality etc

They are really not that different from the designs of 1's outfits

I want to drag ACfag from his home and rape him to death in the street with a cheese grater.

Why so angry? I thought you guys could take criticism.

Xenoblades are mostly RPGs, not action games. Also you can't even do that before NG+
Not with EoSJ anyway

Xenoblades are mostly RPGs, not action games.

Then just cut out the pretense and make them turn based. Not like positioning even matters.

b-but you can attack enemies from behind

Yeah, Final Fantasy and Earthbound did that 30 years ago with pre-emptive attacks.

Far more than the other Xenoblade games for sure.

Then just cut out the pretense and make them turn based.

The real-time elements are part of the gameplay and cannot easily replicated in a turn-based format. If you played the games you would understand why.

The real-time elements are part of the gameplay and cannot easily replicated in a turn-based format.

Nonsense. You just sit in one place and queue up attacks. It's what I did anyway, and why I dropped the series.

no verticality, except maybe in Xenoblade X, and it still didn't matter there either

every battle is the same, just queue up the same attacks

moving doesn't matter, because attacks will hit based on accuracy stats, which means you don't even have to be facing the enemy for an attack to hit

can't even remember if you had the ability to jump in combat

environments were always flat, because obstacles didn't really matter. again attacks just ignored the environment

And don't give me crap about "muh AOE attacks" because it was done better in turn based strategy games. Xenoblade as a whole is just a mishmash of badly done ideas, taped together with waifus.

This is the first I'm hearing this and fuck you if it's true

UMM ONLY KIDS LIKE SEX

why are leftroons like this

KIDS LIKE SEX

many are saying this

You unlock Torna members as playable blades, save for Malos and Jin. That's a total of 7 additional blades

fanbase

But only if its hetero, anything else is inclusion which is good!

I'm not wasting my time with somebody who clearly doesn't play the game, everyone can tell you just watched some videos of endgame cheese.

Pfft, I wish this was something exclusive to the endgame. But please, if you have any examples to the contrary, I'd love to see them.

Regret of self castrated people

That was definitely the case for be bought 2 cause I liked 1 then didn't buy 3 cause I did not like 2 or even X that much.

NTA but I'm not watching 1 hour of somebody being really gay.

Yes it is. Machina = grey anime person, blade = anime person with lines and crystal. They neutered down the designs.

Who are you quoting?

It's spelled "sexualization", with a Z.

I want more fanservice in my games actually.

the thing about fan service is that it can only exist on niche media, once that piece of media blows up or is exposed to a general audience like XC2 was they have to take them into consideration from there on out which is why XC3 was completely sanitized from all fan service and why designs like Pyra and KosMos can never exist again.

TLDR fanservice was killed off due to XC2's immense success and will probably never come back
good think Xenoblade has so much to offer aside from boobs

I'd give you my play time, but the Ursula quests kind of fucked that up for me. It wasn't that bad, but I'm no stranger to grinds.

I mean, I tried to see your point of view, but under any light the Xeno series just has problems. Look at this. I just don't see how it's fun. It's a bloody cutscene.

xb3 combat.webm - 640x360, 2.83M

Are you sure your name isn't Reed Richards? Huge fucking stretch, Miranda's trauma is crystal-clear in the actual text of the game: her father genetically engineered her to be "perfect," treated her like a project, and essentially controlled every aspect of her existence. It's about genetic manipulation, objectification, control, and a total lack of autonomy.

How is 2B's ass in your face "tasteful"?

Just talk to real women.

Ursula's quest is bullshit but at least it's helping me fill a bunch of nodes. I think I still don't have even 2000 fans.

It's a shit offline mmo.

Theres practically no sexualisation in it.

The characters are retarded.

The gameplay is an offline autobattler.

Its entire selling point was a lie saying it connected to xenosaga.

It had a shitty offline gotcha system everyone hated.

The only good thing about it was the exploration.

The story was dire.

The only reason xenoblade gets mentioned at all is because tendies are desperate to claim it as the switches jrpg holy grail when its actually the most mid 4/10 style ps2 type era game ever made.

Anon the small penis thread is over on /R
I think your in the wrong tent my dude

Alot of those come from different people. Note the differing filenames.

Because like Bayonetta it is for some reason left wing approved horniness despite being no different than things like XC2 that they wag their finger at. See KLK which got granfathered in to being approved because r/gcj and resetera types watched it before they were brainrotted.

3fag immediately starts throwing out terms he doesn't understand to try and sound smarter than he is

LOL. It's like pottery. It rhymes.

I love how Xenoblade 2 filters so many secondaries.

these motherfuckers are the same ones who bitch at SRW OG

ACfag has entered the thread

To be fair, the trannycrowd bitches about Persona 5 all the time. It's just more popular so it gets drowned out more.

only kids like sex

Why are right wing pedos likes this

You’re either a woman or a tranny(male), in either case, fuck off

XC3 still had its fair share of sexualization with sweaty brown midriffs and skintight suits, the total grounding of character design to a realistic urban type has nothing to do with fanservice itself

calling people faggots and trannies is the only defense people have for these games

eggscellent.png - 394x284, 131.52K

It’s because they’re feminists, they have no sense of shame

Xenoblade also has lesbian lolis. They also hate it.
Because americans never ban violence from media, but HATES sexy female characters.
Protestants fault.

Eight straight years of Anon Babble losing it's faggot-raping dog-kicking monkey shit-flinging mind in pure rage and fury over this game. What is it about XC2 that drives men to act like Karens and bitchbabies for nearly a decade?

No it isn’t, learn to spell properly, Amerifat

I’m not going to engage in a discussion with you because you’re a retard, a tranny retard specifically

You don't see how Factorio style gameplay where you make the perfect setup before going into battle and watching it demolish challenges is fun?

I think that's just a lack of imagination on your part then.

There has never been a single instance of fans service that has devalued or ruined a piece of media for me. You can still have serious and impactful moments with sexy characters and people who think you can't are actually mentally deficient and can't wrap their brain around two things at once. They claim gooners or incels or whatever buzzword are all about boobs and sexy shit but they're the ones so focused on these things they cant see past them to the story or moment. Fanservice is such a broad, overused term now you practically have to ignore people complaining about it anyway.

708850476

Engaging with you is a fool's errand. Even if someone brings up sound arguments, you just attribute the actions of others to them and start an entirely different conversation.

We call you a faggot because the enjoyment we get seeing your tardspam is the only value you have ever brought to these threads

Site goes down for about a week

ACfag has a chance to re-examine his life and make a change instead of spending 16 hours a day on Anon Babble crying about Nintendo

Comes right back here to shit things up

lol. I guess that proves he has literally nothing else going on in his life though.

I just don't like movie games. Same reason why I dislike Uncharted and TLOU. Wouldn't describe it as rage more so than disappointment.

Factorio didn't advertise itself as a high stakes JRPG combat game. More importantly, the game doesn't bore me to death with attempts at cinematic exposition. If the main character talked even half as much as Rex or Noah or Shulk, I'd drop the game immediately.

Factorio's strength is that it just lets you have fun. IT doesn't hammer you with cinematic shit, or over the top spectacle.

he has literally nothing else going on in his life though

Ain't that true for every schizo? They couldn't become one otherwise.

Even if someone brings up sound arguments,

Care to point to them? Name calling is hardly my idea of a sound argument.

Besides, you've shat on anyone who didn't praise the games as 10/10 masterpieces. There's never been a moment where you could take criticism or accept that maybe it's okay if someone doesn't like the games. if I'm wrong, you're welcome to point to it.

qrd on ACfag? Does AC stand for Assassins Creed?

Sexuality is a part of Human nature and it isn’t necessarily juvenile, and that you think it detracts from games is merely a reflection of your unnatural hatred of sexuality.

67865478432.gif - 480x270, 2.81M

fanservice was the least of the game's problem, having blades be drawn by guest artists made the entire visual identity of the game muddled and inconsistent. that and the gacha shit was trash and for the first like 10 hours of the game every fight starts with you not pressing anything because you need watch your guy slowly auto attack before you're allowed to press a button.

Factorio didn't advertise itself as a high stakes JRPG combat game. More importantly, the game doesn't bore me to death with attempts at cinematic exposition.

Yeah but your question was "how could people possibly have fun with a battle system where most of the work is done outside of battle" and I just told you it's Factorio but with a story and characters. So I answered your question and there's nothing really to argue about.

It was about how other people can enjoy it. Not about how much you should enjoy it specifically.

Hi, sis

He's (supposedly) an Armored Core fan with a sworn hatred for long cutscenes and story focus in videogames, or so I understand

i like fanservice, for me it's godforsaken Japanese writing, Japanese humor, Nickelodeon-tier obsession with LE FRIENDSHIP and LE HAREM OF WOMEN that kills it for me

Don't bother with the schizo.

Is this even a real video? And if it is, isn’t it just OP trying to shill his own pathetic failed ragebait channel?

Why are westerners like this.

Its entire selling point was a lie saying it connected to xenosaga.

this is the funniest one I think, basically none of the xenoblade playerbase has bothered with Xenogears, let alone Xenosaga.

Rex won

Armored Core.

But he's really not that important or interesting. He's just a mad Sony fanboy who gets upset that only certain games get called "movie games" because he's autistic and autists don't understand nuance.

He doesn't really talk about Armored Core anymore because AC6 is technically a "movie game" by his own definition.

Xenoblade 2 leant too much into shonen bullshit and pretty much everything from character design to cutscene direction suffered as a result.

Black joker on the right really does stick out.

It’s a real video by this captain astronaut guy, I watched it years ago but I forgot most of it, I think it’s some feminist take on Xenoblade 2 so you can tell the video is going to be obnoxious

So you personally can attest that there's some criticism that exists, that can be considered valid? After all, by your own admission, this quote:

Besides, you've shat on anyone who didn't praise the games as 10/10 masterpieces. There's never been a moment where you could take criticism or accept that maybe it's okay if someone doesn't like the games

It shouldn't apply to you, right? Better yet, perhaps you could outline what is acceptable to criticize?

Sexuality is a part of Human nature and it isn’t necessarily juvenile,

If the game didnt' constantly ruin its pacing by forcing it down my throat, maybe you would have a point. But the games do not allow any kind of freedom in that front. I don't want to listen to these characters or their feelings. Just let me play the game. Even when you're skipping everything, it's a slog that punishes you. what the game needed was a classic mode, like Freedom Planet, where it just automatically skips all of the boring story parts and voice acted segments and cinematic combat arts.

Yeah but your question was "how could people possibly have fun with a battle system where most of the work is done outside of battle" and I just told you it's Factorio but with a story and characters.

Again, Factorio isn't a JRPG. They're completely different genres. They have completely different gameplay ideals and mechanics.

Not true, I played both.
But I also did not particularly care about connecting the games together, references are fine.

Armored Core

He’s just a dipshit that has taken the “movie game” argument to the logical extreme and enters threads about any game with cutscenes to complain about them. He’s pretty notorious in Zelda, Xenoblade, and Metroid threads specifically.

To give you some context, even the intro animations in titles like Super Metroid and Mario World are too much for him. He has made the argument on multiple occasions that games shouldn’t have visuals beyond solid color pixels on a screen.

This alone wouldn’t be that bad, but he likes to come into threads and act like everyone on this site is the same person, and will never accept any sound reasoning as a result. If you point out a flaw in his argument, he’ll just point to a different post and say “well your friend called me a slur so your point is invalid, all of you are like him.”

it's especially impressive how good they translated to 3D

It heavily depends on the artstyle of the artist they work with.
For me that's Nomura's main strength. His style can be detailed but also rather "simple" for texture and model artists to translate into 3D and he absolutely shines at being the middle-man between an artist with a next to impossible to adapt artstyle and the model artists, his redesigns of the Amano characters in the first Dissidia are probably his best works.

Alright, I stand corrected. I guess I forget that there are people out there who would actually unironically title a video that without realizing how insufferable they sound.

Nah, he switched his definition just to defend it now.

He's definitely a snoy, he had a total meltdown in a thread calling nu-god of war a movie game and desperately tried to move the thread onto XC3.

To give you some context, even the intro animations in titles like Super Metroid and Mario World are too much for him. He has made the argument on multiple occasions that games shouldn’t have visuals beyond solid color pixels on a screen.

I still don't see why this is a bad thing. Didn't the obsession with realistic graphics and unskippable cinematic shit ruin the industry? Now it's wrong to want games to dial it back?

Again, Factorio isn't a JRPG. They're completely different genres. They have completely different gameplay ideals and mechanics.

They're completely different genres but the games have similar appeal where most of the strategy comes from before the battle starts. Everything else you're saying is just kind of subjective and your personal opinion. Like I said, I'm just explaining why people enjoy these games to answer your question. So there's nothing to argue about.

You're not going to change anyone's mind by telling them "actually you can't enjoy JRPGs that way! Because I said so!" You're not that important haha.

XC2 > XCX > XC1 > XC3

As I was saying, there's text. And then there's subtext. Subtext is the uncomfortable ass shot. She trauma dumps to you about all this manipulation, objectification, and control, and all the while, the camera is on her butt. With such vividly male-dominating-over-female subject matter being discussed, the camera focused on her rear definitely points to the creators having much much darker happenings - like her getting viciously ravaged by her father over and over again - taking place and being left unsaid.

There was a bunch of it in the first game, it just wasn't as in your face so people pretend like it was a new direction for the second game. I dont really like the overall childish demeanour the XB games have, once you combine it with overt coomer shit it cheapens the entire experience and makes it feel like some retarded seasonal anime coomer slop.

It is possible to be degenerate but still have higher artistic aims, this is why evangelion and chainsaw man are popular, keep the coomer focus for the super robot wars games.

XC3 still had its fair share of sexualization

Nah.

Do you have literally anything better or more important to do, ACfag? You've been doing this dog and pony show for fifteen straight years.

what games even do unskippable cutscenes nowadays? KH2 basically changed the game outright in the PS2 era with how they implemented pausing and cutscene skipping. I guess walking-talking sections can count as a cutscene, just done in gameplay as to not have to properly frame and animate an actual cutscene.

It’s a story orientated jrpg about an Adolescent and his sexy female sidekicks, there wasn’t anything wrong with that, the game just wasn’t for you,

Eunie is the sexiest character in Xenoblade and you're all fags.

I like Sharla the most but nobody ever really remembers her because of how useless she was ingame

I'm going to draw a line in the sand.

All fanservice isn't inherently bad. It can make sense, and add to both the characters and narrative if done well.

If you don't agree, genuinely kill yourself. This isn't up for debate.

All I'm saying is that not everyone enjoys how Xenoblade approaches it. It doesn't make them a snoy or a tranny.

And IMO, Factorio's method of setting things up is far more interesting. If Xenoblade's combat was more up to par, movement would play a bigger role in fights. and it should, otherwise why not just make it turn based? The fun in factorio is not just building a large operation, but constantly maintaining it and protecting it. With Xenoblade, it's just queueing up commands like an MMO. Infact it feels like modern WOW where you can press one button and the game plays itself. Xenoblade just focuses too much on spectacle. Hence why it's guilty of parts where the story just completely ignores the gameplay. Like bosses who you beat in battle, but the story says you lost because....????

Oh, and my favorite is the main character being able to tank meteors from monsters the size of a monster truck, but some random asshole shoots him in the back and that just kills him because MUH STORY dictated it. How is this good writing?

TOTK did it with its entirely unskippable intro sequence, to the point where the devs put in a million flags to prevent you from sequence breaking it. Snoy movies also love doing it, which is why they're so terrible.

Everything before the wall of flesh is an unskippable Cutscenes, btw.

This isn't up for debate.

it very much is up for debate, almost every aspect of preference about media is up for debate because preference is entirely subjective. moron

I'll compromise: don't shit on people for disliking the execution, and don't make your story focus around it, as if it was the most important part. I've gladly played games with a little fanservice here and there. If you knew me, you know I love Metroid. But stop making it the center of your game.

Best personality. Not the sexiest however. The Aegis Sisters are the most popular Xeno girls ever for a reason.

Back in 2010 his brain was completely and utterly destroyed by Metroid Other M, which makes sense because of how god-awful it was. But ever since that moment, he's spent the last fifteen years saying the exact same things and acting the exact same way in every thread he disgraces. Always whining about how much he hates EVERYTHING that isn't gameplay, and I do mean everything. He wants these things removed from games:
Graphics
Music
Sound Effects
Controls
Title Screens
Options
Ending Screens
Text
Voices
and everything else except gameplay, which means you wouldn't be able to see or actually play the games. He's also extremely autistic, he despises women because of Samus in MOM and claims he hates what they did to her there, but also cries about Samus being a woman and should have been a man or a robot with no emotions from the start, which torpedoes all of his claims that he cared about Samus before MOM. He also lost his monkey shit over Zelda letting out all of her pain and frustration over being Ganon's jailer for a hundred years. And it's obvious he's mostly doing it for attention while also believing everything he says is God's facts.

Nah, always shit on tourists and gatekeep more

TOTK did it with its entirely unskippable intro sequence

pretty sure you can skip the cutscenes by pressing X and then start/+. only have to do a very brief hallway walk. unless you're talking about tutorial island, which is not a cutscene but a playable tutorial.

fanservice is not (only) sex
it is everything which is obviously in because retards applaud, despite having 0 plot or gameplay repercussions

You just attribute the actions of others to them and start an entirely different conversation

Just something to note.

Nah you already admitted that's you, ACsnoy

All I'm saying is that not everyone enjoys how Xenoblade approaches it. It doesn't make them a snoy or a tranny.

You would do well to apply the inverse of this to yourself, man. Nobody would have a problem with you if you could swallow your pride and agree to disagree.

The problem people have with you isn't the fact that you dislike the games, most people on this board do (hell, a lot of people outside of this website do). The problem we do have is that you continually enter threads with people who do enjoy them, complain that you don't, get mad when their opinion doesn't align with yours or they bring up why they do, and then proceed to derail the entire thing in an attempt to make it all about yourself.

I look forward to your reply where you take a singular sentence of my post, don't read the rest of it, and proceed to mischaracterize everything I've said.

Just because you have the game cases doesn't prove you played them.

Does this also skip the 5 minute cutscene with Ganondorf?

You sound upset you got caught ;)

Reminder to all the trannies complaining about XC2, it sold so well that it greenlit XCDE and XC3, also the Aegis are one of the most liked DLC characters in SSBU and they are 100% returning.

It depends.
If you don't overdo it it's still stupid and gross but it won't ruin a good game. I am not gonna ragequit Dark Souls 2 and shit on it just because it has that shitty Desert Sorceress enemy when the rest of the game is still loads of fun.
But if you overdo it and spam putrid saggy tits and ugly oversexualized coomer girls everywhere, it totally ruins even an otherwise good game. It's distracting, it breaks immersion, turns the game into a joke and I just don't wanna see it. It's gross.

All I'm saying is that not everyone enjoys how Xenoblade approaches it. It doesn't make them a snoy or a tranny.

And IMO, Factorio's method of setting things up is far more interesting. If Xenoblade's combat was more up to par, movement would play a bigger role in fights. and it should, otherwise why not just make it turn based? The fun in factorio is not just building a large operation, but constantly maintaining it and protecting it. With Xenoblade, it's just queueing up commands like an MMO. Infact it feels like modern WOW where you can press one button and the game plays itself. Xenoblade just focuses too much on spectacle. Hence why it's guilty of parts where the story just completely ignores the gameplay. Like bosses who you beat in battle, but the story says you lost because....????

Oh, and my favorite is the main character being able to tank meteors from monsters the size of a monster truck, but some random asshole shoots him in the back and that just kills him because MUH STORY dictated it. How is this good writing?

ok

It’s a good game the only point you have is the gay gacha system but that doesn’t matter because it’s basically just for non canon blades that don’t matter to the story. I’m looking forward for xenosaga chronicles 4

That's fine for to anyone to call a game bad for having fanservice, but if you ever say it "shouldn't be allowed to exist", then you should suck start a shotgun.

Good or bad, media should fail or succeed on it's own merits, not be censored out of existence.

Calm down Taion

ok? so what? I don't care about the game doing well or having a smash rep like some kind of autist, I care about the game's character progression systems being annoying tedious dogshit to manage, a sentiment the devs clearly agreed with because they binned the gachashit.

midriffs and skintight suits

safe horny

Remember how he constantly claims that everyone on the planet except him Loves Other M because people like Zero Suit Samus?

I agree, not every game is perfect, the music, environments, combat adventure feeling in XC2 makes up for its flaws.

You would do well to apply the inverse of this to yourself, man. Nobody would have a problem with you if you could swallow your pride and agree to disagree.

I tried to do that here . Look at the result.

The problem we do have is that you continually enter threads with people who do enjoy them, complain that you don't, get mad when their opinion doesn't align with yours

Aren't you basically arguing against the entire point of Anon Babble? This isn't supposed to be hugbox, people should be allowed to come into these threads and say what they don't like about the games. The OP didn't even say "xenoblade thread, post your favorite waifus ^3^". It was a question based on whether fanservice can be bad, so this isn't like I went into a Anon Babble general and disagreed with people.

or they bring up why they do,

Half the posts ITT are people saying "I love big boobies and waifus" which normally wouldn't be a bad retort, but then they follow it up with comments like "if you disagree, you're a leftist tranny and you should kill yourself". Exhibit A:

Everything that makes me angry must most certainly be censored out of existence.

you're so fucking transparent it's unreal, dude.
Go ahead and mention how more towns makes it more adventurey or something.

I wish these faggots would kill themselves
I like my big titty Pyra as much as my flat handsome woman Morag
These same pieces of shit celebrate tranny Abby getting buttfucked by Owen

I've still seen no rebuttal to this, by the way. If people did hate Other M, they would hate everything associated with it. Even if ZSS didn't start with Other M, it was still one of its primary selling points. It's why I hate fanservice so much.

they would hate everything associated with it

Ac6 has Cutscenes.
if you hate Cutscenes, you hate everything associated with them ;)

Nobody says you can't like Nintendo. Masturbating over sales metrics does not foster good discussion. If you want to spam porn, you have several boards to do it in. At least keep it in the proper place.

They despise everything made in the East while worshiping everything made in the West, even if what the West makes is exactly the same or even more degenerate than what they complain about in the East. Remember how they threw a huge shitfit over Lady's ass being visible for a few seconds in DMCV while praising TLOU2's in-your-face sex scene?

just tested it in an emulator, seems like you can't skip the ganon cutscene.

You literally did there

If you knew me, you know I love Metroid

Everyone knows you by this point and the only thing you love is the sight of your own posts

I do still hate cutscenes. That's why Armored Core 6 would be better without them. ;)

I like Metroid, which is why I think it would be better without cutscenes and voice acting and over the top graphical spectacle.

I like JRPGs, just not ones that focus on storytelling. I miss out on 99% of the genre, but it's worth it to filter out the lower quality titles.

I’ve never told anyone to commit suicide, as that would be incredibly cruel to them

they would hate everything associated with it

So you want everyone to hate video games, video game companies, humanity, and the entire universe.

You think anything that isn't a burka is porn, are you in the Middle East?

XDE as well. It pretty much singlehandedly saved the franchise. Much like Fire Emblem Awakening did for Fire Emblem. The folk who have removed themselves from the genepool don't like that one either. Either because they've been brainwashed by Sony into not liking Nintendo products succeeding, or they've been brainwashed by Sony into not liking positive portrayals of heteronormativity
Probably both.

You literally said you MUST hate everything associated, ACsnoytranny.
I accept your trooncession

Now that he's using emotes and reddit spacing, maybe you retards will realize this is all an attention-whoring show for him and ignore him.

They hated him for telling the truth

ACfag in a nutshell:

I hate what Other M did to Samus, I loved her!

but I also hate that Samus is a woman, why isn't she a man or robot with no emotions!?

Pretty lukewarm reception for a lukewarm post. Not really any hate or praise.

That's why i brought up the game. You normally can skip other cutscenes, but that one just decided that "no you can't". In an open world non-linear freeform game.

I think people go too far with fanservice and porn. I'm sorry. And this isn't an eastern issue either. TLOU was disgusting with the stupid Abby sex scene, and BG3 was even worse with the gay bear sex scene. If people can't do things properly, maybe none of this sexual stuff should exist. There's no moderation or care taken to not go too far.

I loved the idea of Samus, a cool kickass protagonist who just shot bad guys and got the job done. What they turned her into just soured the concept. It reminded me too much of Xenoblade, where your ability to actually fight bad guys is secondary to what the story dictates.

Why did you ignore ?

Nowadays if you don't put at least a couple big titted women in your game I will call it woke and won't even look at the trailer.
Simple as.

A lot of people responded to it, therefore it gets the "they hated him" post.

I will always hold that fucking point until the day I die and it is the sole reason why swore off AAA western games and I have insane scrutiny over anything made by Playstation.
Hell even games being published by Playstation give off red flags, I'm just lucky that Stellar Blade turned out to be an insanely great game

best selling xenoblade game

That's still XB1, if you add up all the versions.
But even then, if either X or 3 had released during Switch's year one, and later had their characters featured in Smash, those would've been the best selling.

The same thing happened with other franchises like Splatoon and Fire Emblem, whose second entry in the system did well, but had reduced sales compared to the first game that was available on Switch.

Can fanservice be a bad thing?

You collectivized male gender roles and now the free market collectivized female gender roles, you can't put humpty dumpty back in the box anymore so this shitty woke-lite larp about propriety in media is like closing the barn doors decades after the horse not only already left but is already dead.

No talk or mention of female oriented fanservice dully doted as well since you hypocrites aren't instructed to be effective in your propaganda, it's like that Kung Pow movie, they trained him wrong, as a joke. Now do you part and think you're winning while everybody laughs at you.

I sincerely wish that you're an actual woman writing this garbage because in that case i can understand the feminist-whore imperative of having a monopoly on sexual imagery because without it, you're fucked, HOWEVER if you're a dude making these videos, you're beyond terminal. Didn't watch the video btw.

Because he can't twist it to say what he wants.

This post was typed by taion hands

Except the camera panning around her ass isn't "subtext, there's nothing subtle about that. The camera is on her ass because the devs were horny as fuck, nothing more, nothing less, hence why they removed it in the remastered version.

That's still XB1, if you add up all the versions.

You have the numbers for that?

They should forgo the XC3 rep for Nia in the next smash

Fippybippy

Guess I won again.
he is such a retarded snoytranny coward, he will twist his own arguments as much as he can and runs away when he lost.

No talk or mention of female oriented fanservice

That's misogynistic.

conveniently ignoring the "and then proceed to derail the entire thing in an attempt to make it all about yourself" portion of my post

Regardless, I don't think it's a bad thing to discuss what you don't like about the games, I have my fair share of problems with them as well. My point is how you go about it and your incessant self-pity is why people dislike you.

The fact that you're able to be identified on an anonymous imageboard within 1-2 posts should be more than enough to at the very least trigger some self-reflection on your part about how out-of-this-world repetitive and annoying discussions with you are. As another anon pointed out, you have been at this for over 15 years at this point and to this day haven't seemed to change or evolve your opinion at all beyond going further and further into extremes. In isolation this would be fine, but ask yourself, who in their right mind would be interested in arguing with someone like that? It's the rational equivalent of brainstorming with a brick wall. You can get on your soapbox and claim that there is simply nobody among the thousands of posters on this entire website enlightened enough to poke a hole in your ideological iron curtain, but at the end of the day even you can probably see how irrational that idea is. The fact of the matter is that you're inordinately stubborn and whiny.

Discussion with you isn't a debate or even an ideological exchange, it's a drawn-out carousel of the same points you have brought up over and over again that everyone is tired of. At a certain point people are just gonna give up and start making fun of you, because at the very least we can gain some enjoyment from watching you sperg out about it. It's as you said, this isn't a hugbox, and you should probably try to recognize the hypocrisy in demanding people accept your shitposting while at the same time throwing a hissy fit anytime someone calls you a faggot on Anon Babble.

Only if her final smash is giving everyone super-cancer.

So I'm playing Xenoblade 2 for the first time. It's pretty fun, I like it. I just made it to Fonsett Village today. The literal years of "JAPANESE HUMOR" shitposting was way overblown, even to a brain on anime like me. The character designs are very apparently geared towards what the artist finds sexy or appealing and honestly, fair enough. I don't think artists or character designers should be chided for making the game they want to make especially if the criticism is that the designs are cringe.

With that being said, it does lead to some awkward moments. There's a Heart to Heart where Pyra and Bridget stumble onto Tora's closet with very sexy clothing intended for Poppi. And it's used to shit in Tora for being a creep and wanting to dress up Poppi in skimpy clothes. Now this is a trope and in a vacuum I don't have a problem with it. Except that these criticisms are coming from fucking Pyra and Bridget. Pyra's outfit is only 2 steps away from being lingerie and Bridget's extremely form fitting dress has a whole boob window that extends down to her naval with a missing back. All that to say is I feel like when this argument comes up about Xenoblade 2 and games like it, there's this weird apprehension to just say "I like this extremely sexy design." There's always moral grandstanding behind it be it censorship on one side and cheap tittilation on the other.

Reminder that the exact same people shitting on 2 for having fanservice are also shitting on 3 for not having it.

The specific webm spammed thousands of times for "JAPANESE HUMOR" is from a supremely optional sidequest that most players won't even be able to see.

That said, the game would be 10x better if Tora wasn't in it.

Mio and eunie are pure sex, youre just a tasteless fag larping as a straight man.

sexy women are stupid and gross

Holy faggot

XC2 sold 2.7 million physically and has had a lot of stock shortages especially in Japan, I think it's fair to say it has sold 4 million including digital sales.

XC1 OG probably only sold about 150k overall, the 3DS port sold about 50k, combine that with about say 2.5 million sales of XCDE physical + digital and that's less than 3 million.

I just want the comfy pre Xenoblade 2 threads back.
I'm glad you 2 fans got introduced to the franchise, but this whole secondary attitude of "Xenoblade started with 2" is annoying.
At least some Personafags and Fire Emblem autists acknowledge the other games.

You know what's funny? I attempted the gacha roll because I'm trying to get a Greataxe Blade for some merc missions. I use a common core crystal and who do I get? Kora. Who I only recognize from the JAPANESE HUMOR webm. I didn't even know her name before today

No. Kill yourself.

Eunie maybe. Mio is not sexy

Regardless, I don't think it's a bad thing to discuss what you don't like about the games, I have my fair share of problems with them as well.

And yet every single post that makes even a tiny bit of criticism is shat on. it's one thing to say "I disagree" but calling someone a tranny and telling them to kill themselves is not the best discussion, wouldn't you say?

As another anon pointed out, you have been at this for over 15 years at this point and to this day haven't seemed to change or evolve your opinion at all beyond going further and further into extremes

Extremes? I have argued constantly in favor of compromise. Like "you can have your fanservice, just let me skip it so I can get to the gameplay" and that results in people calling me a tranny and saying that I don't understand game design. I'm trying to be reasonable here, it'd be nice if everyone else would work with me. If you don't believe me, look at this thread and see how many people are complaining about "DA EVIL WOKE AGENDA" every other post. Yes, we get it, western games are bad. But critics of Xenoblade aren't evil wokeoids who want to destroy video games. Some people just don't like the games. That shouldn't be a point of contention.

The fact of the matter is that you're inordinately stubborn and whiny.

I've been happy to compromise on some of my arguing points in the past, but if you can't muster up anything more than calling me a tranny, then yeah that's not gonna sway my viewpoint. And that's the only thing that's ever been flung in my direction. Nobody has ever offered rational discussion, and it's always been the same circlejerk of sales and porn.

Discussion with you isn't a debate or even an ideological exchange, it's a drawn-out carousel of the same points you have brought up over and over again that everyone is tired of

See, this would imply that rational discussion ever happened at any point in the franchise. Since 2012 the threads have been porn dumps, nothing more.

Don't worry about it, have fun and start farming cores.
Once you get to a certain area you can start farming rare cores to get most of the blades.
Also if you haven't done so I suggest getting the DLC while you can because there is a DLC item that will make the quests a lot easier

lol most people dont get to that point because it requires you to beef up so many other blades who have long ass quests of their own

Ethel is still one of the best designs of the series, next to Brighid, Newt and Eunie.

Can never go wrong with silver

People call you a tranny because you ignore

To be fair, Bridget is "the Jewel of Mor Ardain" she's the most powerful and beautiful blade in the entire country and she's very much aware and proud of it. Different from some pervert tricking an innocent girl into wearing something scandalous.

Nah.

I'll be honest Bridget didn't do much for me, I was way more focused on Morag

I'm just going to reiterate a portion of my post and move on. You won't be getting any more replies from me:

In isolation this would be fine, but ask yourself, who in their right mind would be interested in arguing with someone like that? It's the rational equivalent of brainstorming with a brick wall

At a certain point people are just gonna give up and start making fun of you, because at the very least we can gain some enjoyment from watching you sperg out about it. It's as you said, this isn't a hugbox, and you should probably try to recognize the hypocrisy in demanding people accept your shitposting while at the same time throwing a hissy fit anytime someone calls you a faggot on Anon Babble.

Yeah, why would I ignore that? I wonder.

With that being said, it does lead to some awkward moments

stopped reading there
that's a YOU problem, ESL tranny
go back to resetera or wherever you came from

You really can't
Ethel, Melia, Tyrea, Elma, the three sexo cats, Ryyz
All top sexo

ITS ONLY SEXY WITH BIG BOOBS!!!

Either 14, or homosexual trying to fit in. shes modest, but overwhelmingly cute and hot.

Oh shit I forgot to check for DLC. Is Fonsett Village a proper starting point to start tinkering with that? I literally just walked into it before I walked away from my Switch today

Because it destroys your "arguments" ;)
And now you didn't and still haven't managed to debunk it.
Guess I win again, as always

You were never interested in discussion, or talking about the game's flaws. You act this way with EVERY SINGLE CRITICISM thrown at the game, no matter who says it.

seeAt least be honest and admit that you just want a hugbox.

Have fun, buy the cakes, absolutely research how gameplay mechanics REALLY work because the game is shit at explaining and will make you play slow.
As for DLC, I wouldn't recommend using the blades included with it because they are balanced around post-game content, they will absolutely destroy everything in the main game effortlessly and ruin it. But do open Crossette's core crystal just for the sake of having another very cute girl around.

the game would be 10x better if Tora wasn't in it.

I wish Poppi QTpi damage cap'd all hits on all her specials on you for this post. He is great and becomes even better as the game goes on, both in character and gameplay.

You were never interested in discussion,

Stop projecting. Otherwise, you would debunk

They're a set and I like them both but I agree in a vacuum Morag is the more interesting of the two.

Calling someone a tranny is not an argument. Why would you think that?

Lol.
Well have fun with her, she is sexy but not exactly the most useful unless you literally have no other choice of healer blade and REALLY need another one around.

So true, xister!

You should do the DLC quests but don't bother with the Challenge mode shit until the post game, it gives you OP Blades that spoils the game.

running away

lol the entire thread is just proving my point. The discussion of posts happening outside of mine is nothing but people talking about which waifu they'd fuck. couldn't have articulated it better myself.

Okay I know I'm pivoting into gameplay discussion and we're arguing about tits right now but let me just ask this

Morag is a recent addition and I do like her a lot. However I've also gotten really used to the triad of Rex attacking, Nia healing, and Tora tanking. Is Morag kind of a Rex replacement? Do I just need to stack up on healing blades to tag out Nia for Morag or invent a new Tank?

Wrong, it's proving my point you are a coward and lost ;)

I think this
post proves you wrong. He's very emotionally invested in being right and doesn't take it well when an entire thread is just laughing at him and not paying attention to him or his "arguments"

The reddit smilies are just a way to damage control and save face.

substance

Mio

So I'm not crazy! I have a Water Gauntlet Blade that heals with every hit as well as creating potions constantly. But when I switched her out with Kora, it felt like I was dying and pulling aggro far more often. I presumed it was just that the enemies were stronger in Lefteria

Morag is a dodge tank, so she's more of a Tora replacement than anything. Rex is always a good one to keep in your party for the simple fact that he'll be the one dishing out the most damage until late game, at which point you can basically play as anyone you so choose with the proper blade setup

LE BIG BOOBS BAD :((((((((((

resetera isn't sending their best

In what way? I've remained calm and rational in this discussion, while you keep falling back on name calling and insults. You still haven't disproven even a single Xenoblade criticism. Like for example: I dislike the sidequests in Xenoblade because there's too much exposition and dialogue. How is that wrong? I want a video game, not a movie.

I've ultimately been proven right, so I consider that a positive. You guys continue to shitpost with posts like , towards posts that aren't even mine. Is a differing opinion really that scary to you?

Morag is a damn good tank but part of her tankiness is her evasive arts.
I'd really suggest building your party around Break, Topple, Launch, and Smash.

You can replace Rex with Zeke once he joins the party.
Zeke is the real hero of Xenoblade 2

Comparing scottish goddesses to normal girls isnt a fair measuring stick and you know it. its 75% of the reason people like shania.
STill trying to fit in, i accept your concession.

Well thanks guys. I'll let you get back to it. I will say that I'm glad I didn't skip XB2. It was actually someone on this board that convinced me to just dive in about 2 weeks ago. So wherever you are, you're alright anon

i'm right you're wrong everything you say makes me win nyah nyah

I'll be real I just click on Xenoblade threads for any discussion, I wasn't even paying attention to the "sexualization" stuff.

The X threads have dried up so there really isn't a whole lot beyond the shitposting ones like this. It's sad but what can ya do. I get a little sad sometimes that conversations about my favorite series always seem to go like this

My point is that it doesn't make someone a shitposter if they don't like Xenoblade. Criticism does not equal shitposting. I am certain that the rational fans can agree to this.

implying people like shania

I actually only went back to XC2 after XCX and I'm glad I did, it's one of the best RPGs of the past 10 years once you actually engage with it and learn the combat and systems.

You are still running away from why you literally said you MUST hate AC6 and then back peddled ;)
Trying to change the topic won't change you.

big boobs are le icky

Why are Miofags like this?

I still like AC6, but i can acknowledge criticisms of it. Why is criticism a dirty word for you?

XC2 is a lot of fun but goddamn it is utter hell trying to get KosMos

Odd, considering you literally said anything associated MUST be hated.
Why are you backpeddling?

I've ultimately been proven right, so I consider that a positive

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Your "big" point is something that nobody actually argued. There wasn't an actual argument in this thread though. It was mostly just you coming in and crying about Xenoblade and how it's unfair people like it despite you personally not liking it. When we calmly explained why there's lots of reasons to like it, you started talking about how women are scary and how people in other threads are mean to you which definitely created an awkward moment for the rest of us.

I guess you can consider making everyone else kind of uncomfortable with the idea of a grown man spending 15 years of his life crying about Nintendo games a victory if that makes you feel better.

Get a room

Mio's ass is pure sex and made for forceful breeding.

It's funny how big boobs make women and nu-males insecure. lol You can make hundreds of female characters with a slim waist and big ass like 2B and they won't bat an eye (quite the opposite, they will scream "SLAY QUEEN" or whatever on Twitter) but as soon as the big boobs girl appear everyone spergs out and starting making these giant video essays about sexualization. Deep down they know what is really attractive and what is not.

Okay I know I'm pivoting into gameplay discussion

Thank god.

Is Morag kind of a Rex replacement

Morag is similar to Dunban, has the highest Agility stat for evasion tanking, if you use Brighid then she has decent personal damage and capable of shitting some big numbers as the fight goes on thanks to the War Pyre passive, except it kinda forces you to not equip other blades(it resets on switch) on Morag unless you want to control her. You should strongly consider this option, Brighid can absolutely make the difference when her additive is stacked high enough from all the dodging.

Leftheria enemies are stronger but also yeah, Kora is very eeeh.
Stop Thinking sounds good until you realize 3 seconds are a very short time for you to do anything, especially since you need to recover from the special animation, the other two skills hardly help, and her damage is "better than Electra"-tier.

why the fuck don't you fags know what a tank is? Look at this shit.
how do you not realize what Morag's role is supposed to be? Have you played ANY other xenoblade game? If not, why are you starting with 2?

Yes, I hate cutscenes, but if a game lets me skip them and isn't constantly forcing them on me, then I won't condemn the game as a whole. The gameplay is the most important part. A shocking revelation, I'm certain.

There wasn't an actual argument in this thread though.

The very first post (wasn't even mine) brought up an interesting point. Maybe people don't like fanservice constantly forced on them. one of the replies to that post even called him a "leftroon" just because he disagreed. Is this the mature and intellectual conversation you hold so highly?

So then you raped your own argument about the zero suit to death.
I accept your trooncession that I won and you lost ;)
So much for you have never heard a rebuttal ;)

I think it's because you get a big ass either by making one out of fat or muscle, but boobs just about never get bigger unless you're born with them already or your fat storage genes primarily distribute fat there if you gain weight.
Big asses can also be turned into a body-positive thing if you don't ask too many questions.

dodge tank doesn't work well in base XB2 because there's no ability to draw aggro other than damage. so Rex or Zeke is always going to pull aggro

Oh I should have specified. There was debate but not one you were involved in. Your stuff was kind of off to the side while the rest of us actually discussed things like that.

yet she dresses like a prostitute.

With shorts mostly covered legs, and a fully covered top?

Finished XC2 yesterday

Realized I had to grind Challenge Mode to get the swimsuit skins

They'd better just give them to me from the start of the game in XC2DE.

So then you raped your own argument about the zero suit to death.

Not really. It's constantly forced on the player, and you're never given the option to skip them. Be it Other M's cutscenes, Fusion's Cutscenes, Zero Mission's Cutscenes, the entirety of the ZSS segment, and so on. Freedom is stripped from the player for no reason. Hence it's something to hate.

Your stuff was kind of off to the side while the rest of us actually discussed things like that.

And what was the conclusion of the discussion? Are people allowed to dislike fanservice, or does this make them "a tranny" or something? Is any criticism of Xenoblade allowed?

Not true, Brighid is in base game and literally does more damage for dodging, which in turn means both having aggro and making the fight shorter. Theory is also pretty good for main game but scales poorly for everything else.
That's obviously without bringing up Corvin

dodge tank doesn't work well in base XB2 because there's no ability to draw aggro other than damage

Works fine for me. There are accessories and arts that increase aggro gain. Sounds like you can't build a party worth a damn, even though 2 cut down significantly on equipment customization.

Like "you can have your fanservice, just let me skip it so I can get to the gameplay

That's a bald face lie. Every Anon has told you that you can skip it and then you make some bullshit excuse that you shouldn't have to skip it. Don't you fucking lie.

the entirety of the ZSS segmen

Which are gameplay, ACsnoytranny.
So if they don't count, that is also applied to AC6.
And you said anything associated, And AC6 is associated with Cutscenes

My guess is that the release plan will go as follows:

Xenoblade 1 DE, Xenoblade 3 (+ Future Redeemed), and Xenoblade X DE will get free performance patches.

Xenoblade 2 (+ Torna) will get a Switch 2 Edition release that improves performance, revises the UI, and adds some general gameplay improvements. I don't believe that they're going to give it a 10th anniversary Definitive Edition version, but it definitely still needs some fine tuning under the hood to make it a better game overall. Streamlining field skills and affinity trees alone would improve it considerably.

While I have issues with the others games, I don't think they had as many idiosyncrasies as 2 did even after all of its patches. That being said a patch that fixed fast travel music and allowed me to the chain attack./menu themes in 3 would also be greatly appreciated.

Somebody called me mean words so that means I'm not allowed to critcize Xenoblade

I am genuinely kind of creeped out a grown man is acting this childishly. You have to grow up.

you can skip it

But you can't. The entire game is about forcing it on you. Even in the special attacks and combat arts.

Which are gameplay, ACsnoytranny.

Half the ZSS segment is just watching cutscenes and walking down corridors. Not the best gameplay, if you ask me.

All I'm asking for is a list of approved criticisms. What am I allowed to discuss negatively, and what is considered off limits? It would help future discussions.

Why does Xeno discussion always gravitate back to Xenoblade 2? Are big boobs really that egregious to people?

More gameplay than ac6

People have complained about more than the "big boobs". But that contradicts your post.

Negatively, yeah. Along with all the butthurt for being a successful game.
Positively because yeah cute and sexy girls + good game both for gameplay and plot, what's there not to love?

And yet the Cutscenes in AC6 are associated with the game.
Hate it or you raped yourself

megumi han supremacy

It's the only good Xenoblade with complex and human villains and themes rooting in philosophy and Gnosticism. True Xeno.
1 is a simple shonen power fantasy.
X is a janky mess with a shit story and an awful soundtrack.
And 3... we don't talk about 3. Just look at the woke Resetera pandering designs and that says everything you need to know.

Good thing they're not forced on me, and the story is practically an after thought. Compared to Xenoblade, where every single aspect of the game is about the story. Even sidequests have no rewards other than exposition dumps.

I can't wait to see 2DE with a new ability on KOS-MOS to make her even more broken, while still keeping shield hammers exactly 1:1 the same.
Yes I mad.

XCX, XC2, XC3 and XCDE will all get performance and graphics updates by December.

XC2 will get a 10th anniversary Edition in 2027 with new story content and redesigned mechanics maybe.
Other than that Monolith Soft are probably working on the new Zelda and whatever new IP is coming will most likely feature similar gameplay to Xenoblade with a dark fantasy setting akin to Berserk I presume.

Still associated, ACsnoytranny ;)
And thus you are obligated to hate AC6

XC2 will get a 10th anniversary Edition in 2027 with new story content

No it won't, Niafag. You're never getting a Queen Nia epilogue.

you have no Idea how much I fucking hate the fact that she's a fucking Shield hammer, and a shitty one.

Nah, you're just making a mountain out of a molehill. Me hating everything associated with Other M doesn't mean I hate the whole metroid series, just the bad traits that followed from it, IE excess focus on cinematics and disgusting, putrid fanservice.

If a game is good, but still has these parts, then I will hate those parts. but I can still like the game, if it has good gameplay underneath. A pity that Xenoblade's gameplay is pretty bad, but other games can still be good.

The dominant topic of discussion is ALWAYS the female character designs though. I doubt people are still talking about the game because they really hate the gacha mechanics and field skills

Xenoblade 2 is the Solo Levelling of JRPGs

Yes, I hate cutscenes, but if a game lets me skip them and isn't constantly forcing them on me, then I won't condemn the game as a whole

Weird how the only game you make this exception with is Armored Core.

Still associated, ACsnoytranny ;)
No matter how much you cope, you have obligated yourself to hate AC6

kill all westoids and zoomers

If a game is good, but still has these parts, then I will hate those parts

Exactly the opposite of what you said earlier, how odd.
What happened to hating everything associated being mandatory?

Someone once called Mio

A "Common" Rarity Gacha design

And that shit has never left my mind since.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Sexualization

a case study

As someone who actually watched about half this video, the argument boils down to "scantily clad women is inherently a bad thing no matter what". If you were actually wondering.

That's mostly because the female character designs are used to disguise the bad elements of the game. Hell, they took a page out of the gacha playbook by disguising the gacha mechanics behind titties.

I also make this exception with Metroid. And if TOTK didn't force me through a mandatory cutscene and walk and talk, maybe it would get exception too. Don't you think it's important to criticize bad elements in a game?

Key word being "mandatory". Almost as if players should be allowed to skip cutscenes, and shouldn't have story forced on them.

the problem is when CGI anime women speak with squirrel voices. Nobody in japan want speak with normal, human voices

Video games have no future with boring people in charge.

Depends on the gacha, in mihomo games it's reversed and S-rank characters are usually the least visually interesting

You said hating it was mandatory, ACsnoytranny.
Nobody is falling for your tranny cope

plays best girl in X3

plays best girl in AC6

How does she do it?

We will never have another game like Xenoblade 2

It's all so tiresome.

Then there is no point in the video because that argument isnt even an argument to begin with. That's like saying that forced romance in books is a bad thing no matter what, or having action in books is a bad thing no matter what, or having a plot in a book is a bad thing no matter what.

If it's forced on you, yes.

I also make this exception with Metroid

No you don't. Lying won't save you, ACsnoytranny.

AC6 is associated with Cutscenes, and thus you are literally obligated to hate it or admit you are retarded.

XC2 will get a 10th anniversary Edition in 2027 with new story content and redesigned mechanics maybe.

No, that's dumb.

I don't want any more story content for the main trilogy, it doesn't need it. They just need to move on to what's next

Eh. I like all the shield hammer girls but they got done dirty.
At least you can slot Kasandra for an extremely useful seal against challenge mode Ken, True Rosa, and even Elma Redux. Finch if you want to skip Monado Armor against Malos, she does do that pretty well I would recommend. But Electra has nothing, poor girl. Not counting Poppibuster since that's ok

God I didn't realize how much I really don't want Noah in Smash.
They should add Malos

Not what you said, ACsnoytranny.
You said if it is ASSOCIATED with Cutscenes, you must hate literally everything about it.
And AC6 is. ;)

no you don't

Yes I do. I liked Dread despise the focus on cinematic marvel movie parries.

Indeed

I'm the one that said it, who are you to change what I said? AC6 doesn't care about its story, hence I have no reason to condemn the whole game for it.

I just want love source to be an actual item and not fucking DLC

It's the Sonic Adventure 2 of Xenoblade
Either you really like it or you really hate it.

Why are you lying, ACsnoytranny?
You have literally never said anything positive about dread.
And you are obligated to hate AC6.

The entire game is about forcing it on you.

No it doesn't.

Even in the special attacks and combat arts

That's part of the gameplay. Please make another piss poor excuse.

I can overlook a lot of Xenoblade 2's anime stuff but there's a point where they completely overdo it with the anime tropes when introducing a major character and it really turns you against them which is just a crime, with that character being Mythra

You said associated, that's what it means.
You literally have to hate it, or you are a retarded snoytranny subhuman liar.

If a game relies on fanservice to keep you interested, yes. Xenoblade 2 would still be fun without the sexo character designs. Meanwhile Senran Kagura games suck and rely on the character designs to keep you interested,

I love fanservice and huge anime titties but I think most of the blades look fucking stupid and absolutely lack an overall aesthetic. Malos is the best design in the game.

Isn't T-ELOS NG+ only too or am I misremembering

All I think is that it makes me appreciate Pyra more even though gameplaywise Mythra is just way better

A couple years ago I would've been neutral but nowadays I think this criticism is just more brainwashing. Big tits are bad but fucking a bear is great and hilarious. This character exposes too much skin how immature but coom posting over 8ft tall monster lady is based. It's inconstant and honestly pedantic to such a degree that it must be part of a psyop to prevent people from having a healthy understanding of sex. Giving them conflicting and confusing signals until ultimately they become hyper degenerate coomers or sheltered herbivores. Atleast the religious types gave clears lines like "only after marriage". The modern view is a total mess.

Yes but actually no.
T-elos is unlocked after you defeat the final boss, but you don't need to start NG+, you can roll her on your current save after it gets the star.

You have literally never said anything positive about dread.

Here's my review of the game back in 2021.

Untitled.png - 1106x396, 83.27K

What they mean is that sexualizing women will always and only serve the purpose of objectifying them, or in other words, it's always problematic. It can never serve a higher artistic purpose even if the artist themselves intended the character to look sexy as part of their design. They especially have trouble stomaching it when it's portrayed through anime girls, of course.

Why can't I complain about the combat arts? They're just glorified cutscenes. And you have to suffer through the cinematics if you want to use them. So it's painful. Just bad game design all around.

And AC6 is a 0/10 according to you now.

Pyra can get a very strong volcano DoT going, this is especially useful for BoC gameplay since chain attack strats are nerfed to death but fusion combos aren't. I got my best time on challenge Ken with her.

Shut the fuck up jew

Thats why you dont give a fuck.
If people wanna complain about it I just call them a faggot and move on.
FFS I grew up in both Europe and America and I saw both sides of the "sex bad, sex good" argument

For me it's being able to spam the fuck out of the arts

3 mogged 2 hard and coomers never recovered

But enough about AC6 and it's attacks

It definitely doesn't help Xenoblade. That's for sure. The sexualized anime characters are still 1 dimensional cliches, and personally I wouldn't shed a tear if they all died. So whatever intention they had at making them relatable certainly failed.

Monolith just can't write a good story, or an appealing character.

This is my favorite Xavier episode desu

I hate to break it to you but women have been considered property for thousands of years
It's only now in our post 19th amendment society that we even bother giving women any rights and see them as "equals"

3 mogged 2 hard

So true sis!

what is wii u and xenoblade x

Fucking retards. Pyra's ass is what sold this game. Just like how 2b's ass sold her game. Its really that simple. Its what keeps gachas in business.

For me it's being able to spam the fuck out of the arts

Yeah Mythra does that better then. Pyra has a kit more geared towards doing one strong blade combo to apply Volcano(preferably on topple or launch), then going ham with smashing the enemy until the orange numbers give out insane amounts. Or if the enemy has not enough health for that just trying to get a hueg finisher for burst DPS.

You can complain about it you idiot. Just expect people to call you out on it.

Call me out on what? It's now wrong to hate cutscenes and cinematic attacks that last too long? seeI'm sorry if this is too long and should've been cut down heavily.

I think 3 has really good default designs for all the characters, but the way the class system works visually just makes them all feel really dull and interchangeable while playing the game itself.
Is 2 worth playing on NG BoC? I always assume higher difficulty just means more stat bloat in these kinds of games.

sexualizing women will always and only serve the purpose of objectifying them

Good! Women voting should never have been allowed.

It's wrong if you don't hate AC6 for being associated with Cutscenes.

When you are so staunchly against any sort of beauty, it becomes suspicious.
It's no coincidence that anime haters turn out to be pedophiles and rapists.

Does AC6 have any cutscenes that masquerade as gameplay? I don't remember any of those.

If a woman isn't completely covered she's dressed as a slut.

There is an untold story. XBC2's equivalent to XBC1's "Future Connected".
The rifts and fog beasts that showed up in the world of the Bionis, also started showing up in the world of Alrest.
It would be cool to play a segment of game with Rex, Pyra, Mythra, and Nia settling into their new continent.

The ending for XBCX:DE already set up a new game anyway, that's more likely as the next wholly new game, but I can see a Definitive Edition of XBC2 happening since it's the game in the worst state, and give it a bonus chapter like I just described.

A DE version of Xenoblade 2 would be heavily censored
I dunno how to feel about it

A reminder that ACfag had someone make him a Super Metroid romhack that removes the entire beginning of the game, the credits, and most of the fight with Mother Brain.

You can actually die during this segment, btw. Unlike Xenoblade's cinematic arts, which are just a step removed from FMV segments from a Sega CD game.

I’m glad this board hates ACfag. If you hate ACfag I’m willing to overlook everything else wrong with you.

XC2 DE

play as Mythra's kid

It would be so kino

You literally can't, ACsnoytranny. It's just a Cutscene.
I accept your trooncession that you must hate ac6

I can't believe people hate me this much because I don't like excessive cinematics and spectacle in games. Really is a pity. Or maybe it's just console warriors who hate me because I don't buy into this whole [console supremacy] thing.

Being an idort definitely has its perks. It helps keep you from being biased towards any one company.

A chronicle is literally a joke about chrons disease because xe has no blade and gets ass fucked to a gaping anus. And the monado was literally a boner dude it grows like 10 times in size. And it’s a ad for Pokemon, a monad. Bald so hard mother fuckers wanna find me. That shit cray. Let’s take a moment to appreciate how god can just say or do whatever he wants and humans literally can’t stop him. I’ve seen him kill people before.

Because your don't hate AC6, ACsnoytranny. Despite your saying your are obligated to

attractive females in video games are bad, because...they just are,ok?

the "western fan base" aka good goys should honestly off themselves

Is 2 worth playing on NG BoC?

Depends. If you use Corvin then even BoC isn't that big of a deal, otherwise prepare to get shat on.
It adds the rage strike mechanic(enemy will do +400% on the next art used after enraging and drain party gauge PER HIT) and nerfs chain attacks(they mostly stay at 100% ratio, partially due to a bug) to motivate you into trying different strats.
DoTs and fusion combos are the most obvious replacement, but on NG it WILL become frustrating if you aren't using Corvin. Seals stop being optional and become very much the only way to get through certain fights, since you can't afford to receive shit like shackle driver/blade and expect to not get party wiped in seconds, and you might want to grind for good accessories even for story battles like the one in Temperantia where you have to break the wires.
Always save up party meter, lv4 specials and evasion arts for strong enemy attacks and finally don't avoid encounters. Art recharge pouch items are basically obligatory.

Nah, I still like it because it has tons of redeeming features, in spite of its shortcoming.

I would offer Xenoblade the same, if it had redeeming features. Literally the only positive thing I can say about the series is the skells from XCX, and being able to move around the overworlds without too many invisible walls (something Monolith screwed up with in BOTW and TOTK, which for some reason had tons of invisible walls).

Calling out your opinion you dumb fuck. You can hate it all you want but there are people that will disagree you. Don't try to compare that to boring hallway cut scenes

I can definitely imagine how a story like that would fit, I would just personally prefer that they use their resources on something else.

Future Connected was already a pretty weak entry in the grander story. Beyond explaining how Nia became queen and showing us Mythra's kid, I can't imagine there being many interesting revelations in an extra XC2 chapter. Feels redundant

shits up board for years

”noooo why does everyone hate meeeee”

kill yourself. this isn’t a joke. you would make the board a better place if you killed yourself. everyone would cheer

Associated with Cutscenes, ACsnoytranny.

Don't try to compare that to boring hallway cut scenes

Why not? I find them equally boring.

shit up the board for years

I'm not the one spamming sales metrics and implying that games can only be good if they have high metacritic scores.

kill yourself

Why not? I find them equally boring.

See That is boring

why does everyone think they can subdue ACfag in an argument? you know he's been doing this for 10 years right, his circular logic is unbreakable

There is one justification I can think of.
Monolith Soft might need a Switch 2 project to cut their teeth on, or something for their junior team.
That's what XBC2:DE would be, whilst they focus on their next big main project.
Projects like this also just help with cash flow.

Project Rainfall was a mistake

3 has really good default designs for all the characters

Kys.

Sex sells, what's not to get, troonies? If you hate attractive females that much, you should just stick to western goyslop where every character is ugly as fuck.

If you think that's boring, then you're entitled to your opinion. I won't attack you over it, even if I disagree.

It's not happening
Alrest has been transformed twice since XC2 ended. It got fused into Aionios and then got fused into the new world. They are never going to go back to tell a story that only affects Alrest. It's NEVER happening.

I want to Hug and Kiss Pyra :)

IMG_0192.jpg - 680x765, 416.91K

Monolith Soft might need a Switch 2 project to cut their teeth on, or something for their junior team.

Oh shut the fuck up retard

shieeeeeeeeeeet where da wyte wimminz at

Is it really ACfag posting, because he's acting too coy and "teeheehee" for it to be him.

since it's the game in the worst state

2 haters are so fucking mentally ill.

It’s an offline MMO at its core

Why do you unfairly group all western games into one group?

If by "kids" you mean teens then yes. Its not a leftist thing to notice that. Retard

It's not like 1 or 3 and has way too much coomer garbage in it, so yes it's the worst one.

He always does that when he gets raped by actual logic

Tranny

Calling someone a tranny is not "logic". It's deflection and ad hominem, btw.

I am absolutely certain that the junior team project was X DE. We already know it has a 60fps mode somewhere in the code, so I wouldn't be surprised if they made it in accordance with Switch 2 specs.

Historically Monolith has never needed a test project for new systems, normally choosing to jump straight in (Xenoblade X, BotW, Xenoblade 2, etc.). I don't see why that would be necessary with how deeply integrated they are with Nintendo's R&D department (they are practically the lead engine devs for the entire company).

That and he starts samefagging as soon as anons start ignoring him.

They're development exercises so they can learn a new platform, and the entire reason why Wind Waker HD even exists.

when the game makes me cringe because the character were made for losers to goon over then yes

Because the vast majority of them are like that

This, once I turned 20 I stopped liking women and developed a searing pathological hatred for them because of what they are and what they're doing to men and civilization. Only in the embrace of anime waifus have I found females who I care about.

You are a tranny though, otherwise you would hate ac6

kill yourself

They don't need to "learn a new platform". They're tech wizards. .
You will never get a Queen Nia epilogue no matter how hard you beg and whine for it.

I mean the graphics engine being dogshit and everything looking like a fuzzy smudge during gameplay.

Have you gone back and looked at the Wii U version of XBCX after playing the Switch version? Native stock hardware, not emulated. It's a huge difference and XBC2's problems are evident in XBCX.

Same here, granted I don't outright hate them but goddamn they are too dangerous in the legal sense

Sad Cassim.jpg - 871x684, 114.63K

You said fanbase carries over, then so does westerness ;)

What's wrong with this design?
Other than being a little bland, I guess.

Retard

he's not white and has a not-white hairstyle

What in the name of absolute fucking schizophrenia is going on in this thread

You're on Anon Babble; you can probably do the math and figure out what he's upset about

Miofags losing their minds.

And that's completely irrelevant here. Is this the "logic" you claim to BTFO me with? Calling everyone a tranny and insinuating that all western games are bad? Including indie games that have nothing to do with sony or the AAA industry?

Anons unironically engaging with ACfag

Because you must hate ac6, ACsnoytranny ;)

UMMM ANIME TITS BAD
ROIDED MANWOMAN SEX SCENE IN TLOU2 GOOD AND CINEMATIC
(a case study)

/thread

But you said cinematics were good, hence why I'm not allowed to hate them. NOW you hate them again?

Aside from the fact that it's DEI brown shit. He also has a white girl love interest.

Can fanservice be a bad thing?

Yes, it cant be mismanaged.
>Was the western fanbase right for criticizing Xenoblade 2 and its fanservice?
No, those critics were retarded.

Other way around, ACsnoytranny. You must hate ac6

Only if you hate the Xenoblade series for the same thing. You don't want to be a hypocrite, do you?

Nah, I don't care to follow your snoytranny standard. You said you must, so follow your own arguments

always wanted to roll my eyes most of the time

snoy tranny standard

ah yes, a snoy tranny that despises TLOU and God of War.

ACsnoytranny, your worship those games

You not hating ac6 despite that being your own argument ;)

A reminder, if not stated already, the majority of the fan service characters were drawn by Japanese women prompted only by their own love for the female form. Fan service and sexualisation aside, it's women promoting and advocating for these themes in XC2 and it's why there's so much of it compared to previous and later titles

I wish MMOs actually had Xeno combat.
Also ngl the damage numbers flying everywhere in that webm is sort of satisfying.

AC6 has nothing to do with TLOU or Uncharted.

Legitimately what sexualization was in XC2 that deserved this sort of backlash? Mythra and Pyra having big tits? The way people seethe over this game you'd think it was a blatant porno.

Everything is your DEI boogiebeast these days, and you call other people obsessed.

It's cinematic slop, so it does

The game expects you to simp for the characters, even when they're treating you like garbage.

Mythra smacks and assaults Rex on multiple occasions, but we're not allowed to smash her teeth in with a pipe wrench because....?????

All this talk of DEI boogiemen, and yet people ignore a game blatantly making you a slave to obnoxious girlboss characters.

I mean I lost interest in most women shortly after hitting 20. Too many of them are fake people putting on personalities they think are "what men want" which really sucks. I know it sounds cheesy as fuck but I want a women who doesn't filter herself of society and doesn't try to be what the social media considers 'desirable'

Mythra and Pyra having big tits?

Basically. The game doesn't have much going for it other than the girls looking hot, in terms of sexualization at least.
But it does come with a cool plot and fun gameplay.

Go back to trannyera

Not seeing your chain of logic.

Xenoblade 3 lacked these elements and underperformed as a result
Xenoblade is a juvenile game series. Even it's most serious "adult" entry Xenoblade X still contains fanservice, nopons, furfags and flashy RGB Gundam rejects

I accept your trooncession that you are retarded, ACsnoytranny.
I win

because....?????

Not exactly justified but she is kinda pissed about waking up after intentionally sealing herself. And she did that to save Rex against Torna.

The game expects you to simp for the characters

What?

Tell me about it, no man would ever put on a false face and personality.

There is nothing wrong with fanservice as long as it is tasteful and used in moderation.

When is your kind going to do more about these demons and monsters you spend your lives whining about? I mean actually doing something.

Based all video games should include that

I kinda would like to kill all the NPCs since they're so annoying. Same problem I had with Zelda BOTW and TOTK. Especially when most of them treat the player like some pack mule. Xenoblade has really made me despise the writing staff.

Egil in XC1 tried murdering me hundreds of times, and he's successfully killed thousands

but we should forgive him because he was... le sad!

No, fuck off. Let me beat him into a bloody pulp. I'm not interested in hearing his sob story.

AC6 has Cutscenes, you must hate it

Go back to trannyera

Nigger, Rex is a literal shota in that game with all his dumb brat shticks. He's in that journey to grow up too, not just save the world.
He is supposed to get schooled into becoming the fine man that's gonna put a baby in all 3 chicks, in Xeno 3.

But why save a world that doesn't deserve it? That's a problem with JRPGs, as a matter of fact. We're supposed to be blind slaves and never question why we're saving a pack of ungrateful NPCs.

Which means that there's no point to the video

I hate games where I do things for others!

You must hate a LOT of games, since you're a hero doing things to help others in them.

Gonna do something about your problem like a man, or keep screaming and crying like a bitch?

I also like sword art online
kirito x asuna oooooouuhhhhh
It's all about that and nothing else!

I think he means that Rex and everyone deals with Mythra with a soft hand even as Mythra is very abrasive to everyone around her. Like sleepwalking into Rex's bed and then yelling at him about it. Or Mythra slapping Rex out of embarrassment because Rex asked her to explain a dirty word to Nia.

Honestly though, calling these girlboss dog whistles is just stupid. They're anime tropes and very old ones at that. It's like calling Kaname Chidori a girlboss because she slapped Sosuke Sagura. The point is that Mythra is a tsundere who uses her abrasive attitude to cover the fact she cares

>but we should forgive him because he was... le sad!

That wasn't the point at all

What fanservice?
I legit don't remember anything outrageous about this game.

westerners who consume japanese media just to complain about it being too japanese should be killed, fr fr

But why save a world that doesn't deserve it?

You must hate a LOT of games

I do, when they shove story in my face and give me no reason to care about the world, or its characters.

The best games, IMO, are the ones that treat the NPCs as mere pawns for my enjoyment. They know their place. I'm not expected to worship them because they have titties, or because the story says they're important.

prudes think that everything that other people like is fan service

Why do you play games where you have to save the world if that makes you troon out so hard?

This is just HB again but black

no you don't understand, he was trying to save the world from Zanza, so he had to take enjoyment in killing and murdering everyone

him personally getting a sick kick out of brainwashing people and slaughtering everyone actually makes him a good person!

Zanza bad because he.... does the exact same thing, but on the other side

It has sexy girls in skimpy costumes and some jiggling. Yeah, people are just mad because of that.

Anon Babbleirgins have decided that everything that makes them shit themselves in rage = girlboss, DEI, affirmative action, and whatever else is the term of the week. Same way that they think reddit created everything they hate.

Honestly though, calling these girlboss dog whistles is just stupid. They're anime tropes and very old ones at that. It's like calling Kaname Chidori a girlboss because she slapped Sosuke Sagura.

Yes, I would call her a girlboss too. Anime tropes can be just as bad as modern woke concepts. Them being old doesn't magically vindicate them. Slavery to people who clearly treat you like shit shouldn't be idealized.

He fucking wishes he was HB

LOL you sound like a ten-year-old boy trying and failing to sound and look so edgy and hard-assed about children's toys.

What is "tasteful" fanservice?

This is ACfag's shtick he switches to when he's grown bored of his "waaaah cutscenes" shtick.

Whatever I say it is, and the coomer slop in video games is not it.

Is what I said wrong? Shouldn't the player be given respect from the world he's saving? No respect = go save the world yourself, you damn NPCs.

I'm sick of Taion catching strays. He's one of the better characters in XC3. There are FAR worse ones (like Shania).

is what I said wrong?

And this is his favorite response to everything, especially after he's ignored posts telling him how he's wrong and it's his own faggot opinions.

I didn't buy the shitty third game because the characters didn't look sexy anymore.

Then point to the posts that I supposedly ignored.

Nice shitty nonanswer

Shania did nothing wrong. Why is it that when a failed artist(male) does genocide it's okay but when a women does the same thing it's wrong? This is the true discrimination women face.

Is this really even a problem?

It won't let me link to that many posts.

Then link to one.

Who the fuck said that's okay??

You are the first sane person I've seen on this site. How do you manage?

Nope

NOOOO I NEED TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY WHEN USING CHILDREN'S TOYS AND WATCHING ASIAN CARTOONS

Fart huffing trannies are the worst.
Read above. This is basically all they have is being poser tourist faggots and vultures.
