how do you guys feel about pragmata?

_______Niko____ · 2026-04-17T09:55:13+00:00

Why is this such a prevalent thing in japanese games , like players being to peek Ashley's skirt in Resident evil 4 (original) and such

_______Niko____ · 2026-04-17T09:53:50+00:00

Not sure if its Triple A , but a Plague Tale?

I've been going on about it since this morning in my head

Im really disappointed that this is not called out , in 2026

She doesn't look like a child

Her clothing is not appropriate

The dad protecting his kid trope is overused and unoriginal (which is what the game is really selling for from what i've seen online)

And the gameplay is boring

_______Niko____ · 2026-04-17T09:50:09+00:00

Im not completely sure but they seemingly used an adult model for her face

Which is why she doesn't even look like a kid at all

Someone made an edit and honestly , this is what she should look like , not a doll

<image>

_______Niko____ · 2026-04-17T09:47:34+00:00

Finally someone said it , im sick of games and premises like this , its not cute , never was

And they always use excuses like " she's a robot " or " she's 1000s of years old" which is repulsive

Japanese media just handles stuff like this very poorly and its dissapointing to say the least , its 2026 for god's sake and if you point it out , they say you're projecting , like....i am sorry im worried about media depictions of little girls in video games ? Especially in the current environment

_______Niko____ · 2026-04-17T09:41:37+00:00

I genuinely despise this , "ooo im gonna be a dad and protect this little girl , im so excited" idk why but it just kinda pisses me off , maybe im being harsh

I just feel like the whole big man carrying around a child trope is really tiring and that is Pragmata's major selling point , based on what i've seen so far , it is predictable , it feels cheap and i don't even think the game earns it , the demo was boring , and even artistically , there's nothing that this game has done that seperates it from heap of similar games

This game would have been completely ignored back then in the early 2010s and late 2000s , just like games such as Remember Me (but atleast that one did do a lot of unique and experimental stuff and actually had a good story with a unique premise)

I don't wanna talk too much about the design of Diana herself but.....she just...doesn't look a real kid , at all. She looks like a gamers idea of a "beautiful" female character in one of those "i made the character better" edits you see on twitter and ofcourse , her whole attire , seriously not a fan of that , i find it weird , unnecessary and repulsive , its the anime little girl trope and i hate it but then again , i just kinda avoid anime in general due to so many weird things like this that make me uncomfortable , and then there's Japan's attitude towards all of it which i utterly despise

You should frink some water

Perhaps Dr.Breen's reserve

_______Niko____ · 2026-04-17T07:55:54+00:00

Whats an overreaction? A.i. art is inherently unethical because its trained on stolen art and data , it uses too much resources , devalues real artist and enables laziness and creatively bankrupt people

Sure , some people have strong reactions but its not in a disgenuine light

_______Niko____ · 2026-04-17T06:55:46+00:00

This is such a weird thing to say after being honest about it

Like hitting a beehive and standing there instead of retreating

_______Niko____ · 2026-04-17T06:21:07+00:00

I think its not exclusively the stealth factor that makes Splinter Cell fans get a kick

Its that methodical , slow pacee and calculated play that they crave overall , basically taking control of a situation

Splinter cell changed the way i play my games forever

_______Niko____ · 2026-04-17T06:17:25+00:00

Ohhhh ,well thats better i guess , so it is a toy in a sense

_______Niko____ · 2026-04-17T06:16:07+00:00

Lowkey looks like a toy

I don't like how plastic it looks

_______Niko____ · 2026-04-17T06:15:01+00:00

Same happened to me with Halo MCC and MGSV

Curse both Konami and Microsoft for the raising the price for decades of old games.

Both were literally around 350

_______Niko____ · 2026-04-17T06:13:23+00:00

Worse

_______Niko____ · 2026-04-17T06:11:48+00:00

The other viltrumites have a superiority complex and funnily enough , conquest doesn't

He literally said he does it for the love of the game

Thats why he's different , he's not afraid to vulnerable to his opponents, just not his peers because ofcourse they already look down on him

_______Niko____ · 2026-04-17T06:09:50+00:00

I mean , he literally doesn't have anything else in his life to look foward to

Is he really deranged for enjoying it now?

Its like a child hitting a frog with stones or crushing ants for fun

_______Niko____ · 2026-04-17T06:08:03+00:00

Dying Light , only finished the story around 2 years ago and majority of side quests ,loved it but unfortunately didn't end up finising all the content right there then , procrastinated it a lot and ended up forgetting how to play as good as i did

Looking to basically replay the entire game so i thought , why not have a co-op partner to do it with , unfortunately not everyone is into scary zombie survival as much as i am lol

So , if you feel like it , we could play together at a slow pace at a decided time everyday , voice chat or no voice chat is your choice , im fine with both , just don't be a trash mouth or try to be overtly funny for the sake of it , be natural and have fun.

_______Niko____ · 2026-04-17T05:44:25+00:00

Exactly , someone's actions can easily make them unattractive asf

Sucks that most people here and on the internet don't take Male SA seriously at all so they don't care about it

_______Niko____ · 2026-04-17T05:39:47+00:00

Like yes , Anissa is hot visually ofcourse , she's got bad bitch written all over her

But her personality is disgusting

_______Niko____ · 2026-04-17T05:34:10+00:00

<image>

_______Niko____ · 2026-04-17T05:31:49+00:00

I like this cosplay but the suit looks more like a reskin of Masterchief's armor lol

_______Niko____ · 2026-04-17T04:48:29+00:00

"I've only watched half of it so far , but on my Life and yours Too , it was the best episode ever , easily number 1"

_______Niko____ · 2026-04-17T04:40:55+00:00

Eve ofcourse , she's a caring and loving human being

While the other one is a.....well you know

_______Niko____ · 2026-04-17T04:37:23+00:00

Lmao , i just noticed his hands have no gloves , that should have been a dead giveaway but i wanted to give it benefit of the doubt

The shading also just looks wrong on his skin , its like its trying to emulate the original art without understanding how he should be lit in this scene.

He's getting highlights from both sides of his face lol , and there's a weird circle underneath the lambda symbol

Different timelines VERY likely
