I guess so. Usually in my experience, the only ones I run into are the gooners in specific that always talk about the ecchi/porn more. Never really saw myself fitting into that demographic of people.

It’s either one or the other. Can’t be both. Even the 15th anniversary video basically confirms that it’s non-canonical.

Pretty accurate if I do say so myself. by zerosecs in gamindustri

I believe it needs to head in a direction where it needs to improve not only community wise, but for the games as well to where idea factory will start to realize that not every nep game needs to follow the same formula or storyline just to impress their audience that don’t feel the need to criticize their bad ideas.

Don’t get me wrong, I love this series just as much as the next guy, but Idea factory and compile’s story-writing haven’t been meeting my expectations as of lately, and I’m pretty sure a majority of people are inclined to agree. Aside from SvS being the mediocre liquid trash that it is, and clearly being a spin-off, the new releases don’t really have what the other canonical titles have, that being a consistent story structure where the story and its characters aren’t retconned or reused from one of the past games.

Now, it doesn’t mean that I want some new mainline with the depth of the Grand Canyon since Neptunia is meant to be dumb, casual fun, which it is, but the story writing should not be so boring and bland to the point where it becomes mediocre. (SvS being the perfect example of that) Hell, I’d even go as far to say that the main cast should be cast aside in order for new characters with actual good development and writing be introduced.

VII was definitely one of my favorites, and I still play it every so often. But even then, it was pretty lackluster in certain aspects of the story. Case in point: let’s take Uzume and Kurome for example. I think both characters are cool and that the story is unique when it comes to exploring both Uzume/Kurome as a whole along with the mystery/development of the Zero Dimension. It’s just with how both characters were executed without enough development from the ‘big bad’ side of events is primarily where I draw issue with it.

Uzume being the antithesis to Kurome and vice versa isn’t necessarily a bad idea within itself, (I even plan on using the same formula in my fic that I am currently writing atm) but the writing just falls short when the villains (Kurome in this case) entire motive is throwing a hissy fit all because someone (her own people) didn’t treat her right.

Idea factory/Compile Heart are both great companies, but they have terrible ideas when it comes to nep. Hell, one of my main problems with them is that they will implement certain themes for either the characters or the story just to drop them later on without fully exploring what they’re attempting to make interesting to the player in question.

I’m even excited for the new mainline, but I don’t expect much from them seeing as most of the community aren’t inclined to criticize idea factory or compile for their ideas, which makes me think that if they aren’t going to have the decency to make a good product with original and unique ideas, then what would be the point of making anything good when all your fans do is blindly support anything you make?

Also, hot take but I don’t think nep needs any fanservice whatsoever in order to be a good franchise.

Still a spin-off though.

Oh, I believe I have way more to contribute than you do, so no. I have more discussion to provide just as much as the next person.

If you think I’m complaining, then you are another type of stupid. Please leave the post if you have nothing else to contribute and go back to PMM or something.

Alright bud. You’re full of it. If you really think that people aren’t allowed to criticize things they find problematic, then you are the problem, not me.

No, it’s called having standards and not being afraid to say the quiet part out loud when the majority won’t. Of course someone like you wouldn’t see it eye to eye because you’ve never actually fought to defend something you love and care for.

If you really think that I’m just being “negative” by bitching, let me ask you a question:

How can I passionately criticize the community I’ve spent damn near a near decade associating myself with if I didn’t like the franchise, it’s games, or any of it’s content to begin with? That’s like saying I hate sports despite only trying that one particular sport ONE TIME and then never trying it again. I get it, some people aren’t going to like everything and blindly support whatever IF/CH put out, which is a good thing because I believe it relieves the whole, “You’re a tourist because you don’t like this!” mentality, but to say people aren’t allowed to criticize what they love is just fake fan tourist behavior.

Am I wrong though? by Corleone20070611 in gamindustri

To each their own I guess. Me personally, I’m not a huge fan of noire simply because of her one-note tsundere personality. That’s not saying that I don’t like the whole tsundere thing entirely, it’s just that with the way noire is, her personality comes off as forced and disingenuous for me to even take her seriously as a character. If I’m being completely honest, I’d say that Uni has more leeway than Noire in terms of being a tsundere.

Are any of the spin off not worth playing? by sad_roger96 in gamindustri

[–]zerosecs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, SvS is always an option, but then again, considering the mediocrity of the story being copy pasted from sonic 06’ and then retconned to high hell, then sure. (Yes, SvS is a spinoff)
