the game isn't an example of shit about fuck, I literally feel gaslit like millions of gamers saw a couple of characters named after philosophers (which every anime has been doing forever) and were like "wauw so philosophical"

Every one of Yoko Taro's games has been anti violence and anti military but the entirety of right wing culture war appropriation boils down to "if it has tiddy it's good and anti-sjw" and "if it does not have tiddy it's woke". This is also how they completely misunderstand Kojima's games.

I really don't think the themes are that strong. There's like some "endless cycle of violence is bad" thing going on but they are not convincingly anti-military.

Youre not being gaslit you just have different taste and presumably didnt care for the metanarrative themes or something.

Kind of tired of "gaslit" being used for casual purposes like this really.

(Also i have my doubts all 14 of your upbears agreed with you lmao. I feel like Hexbear gets way to excited about contrarian takes about popular media because tbh most of y'all kind hate art lol)

Yeah, I don't get how Yoko's coombrained games get such praise from leftist. They're held up as some amazing experience, but imo everything about them (maybe aside from the music) was pretty mid.

I'm a big fan of color pop and extravagant designs (Bayonetta 2 is the definitive out of the 3 for the atmosphere and environment alone). Nier always looked so bland to me, and the sound track was very blah.

Same, N:A was boring as shit and made me feel gross playing it around my partner

Tbh i think if this is your take on Nier Automata youre being just as unable to see past the sexy girls aesthetic surface as the coomerbrained chuds are, just in the opposite way. But i guess taste happens.

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I mean it was also boring as shit, so i didn't really have any motivation to explore it's deeper themes

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You mean like gameplay wise? I mean ok strong disagree but sure.

I think the game is horny bait boring garbage for pseuds. And no I have never played a second of the game nor will I ever.
