Astral Chain

Why is this such a disappointment
Where does it sit among P*'s lowest (Astral Chain, Korra, Transformers, TMNT)

>Why is this such a disappointment?
No purest form of love undertones

it's great and easily in platinum's top 5, stay seething for life tranny

Literally one of Plat's best games.

>Lowest
bitch

I'm still waiting for it to be in playble state on the emulator. As far I could see it's a perfect sci fi interactive action anime. What's to hate?

They wanted to do something like Automata, at least in terms of level design, and the hardware severely holds back the game potential in everything.
LMAO! It's a nice enough game, maybe a 7/10, but it isn't among there greatest. Hell, it's not even above, let's say, MGR. Nice music and a pretty decent story for Platinum, some goofy, endearing characters but that's it.

They're girls, If they're not doing gay things at each other, WHAT ARE THEY GOOD FOR

>What's to hate
The combat they intended never really worked out so what you get is a stripped down version with lots of extra shit bolted on that doesn't really work with the main gimmick

The story is turbo-retarded which normally wouldn't be an issue but it's also a main focus of the game (to the detriment of gameplay) and very self-serious which is abnormal for P*

It's ugly as sin, the neon makes my fucking eyes bleed. I think I spent 99% of non-combat in the batman arkham asylum mode just to get rid of all the visual noise.

The investigation sections are pure padding, like if you were forced to play a tutorial chapter of Phoenix Wright in the middle of a mission

Playable on yuzu?

Transformers is easily the best of P*'s budgets titles but it's still a budget title.

Astral Chain, on the other hand, wasn't meant to be a budget title yet I would rather play Korra again than touch it

Damn. Well I played only up to the first mission in 4K on emulator and very much liked the graphics and the pacing, it's sad if the game shits the bed afterwards

Remember when all the nintendiaperoids on this board shilled this game hard? Haha.

I really can't hammer this in enough, we're talking Heavy Rain levels of making no fucking sense and everyone being retarded

>Heavy Rain levels of making no fucking sense and everyone being retarded

that's really sad to hear

While i agree to a certain degree with the rest, i want to hear what you think about Nier Automata

It's easily the most unique and original game both in terms of gameplay and artstyle that i've played all year

and setting. playing as a cop is underrated and more games should do this

Nier Automata's combat was OK. Passable. Not particularly great but serviceable. The game sold on butt and kept players interested with the story.

OP is a fag. What else is new?

>Playing as one of the most widely-reviled figures in American culture
No thank you, that shit only works in places like Japan where the police corruption is kept discrete

>being a nigger/commie

Day of the rope soon

The only thing wrong with it is that there isn't enough low level police work; it takes a flying anime leap too quickly.

So, i dont see how Astral Chain is any worse since its combat is a direct evolution of Nier for the better, actually

>The combat they intended never really worked out so what you get is a stripped down version with lots of extra shit bolted on that doesn't really work with the main gimmick
So you never played the game? Cool to know.

Never played this game, don't care too much about it. But...

>Astral Chain's combat is a direct evolution of Nier
Not really. Nier had infinite dodging and lots of shooting and endless combos because they didn't care about balancing the player outside of gear/levels.

Astral Chain is very much a CC focused game. It's also quite boring to play "correctly"

The puzzle-platforming was dull, the game has some seriously wacky problems with the framerate, takes too long for the combat to get fluid and "good" (like chapter 3 or 4 long iirc), 95% of the Legion skill nodes are the same across all Legions, only 3 weapons for your own avatar, no dedicated jump button. It's definitely not a bad game and has a lot of heart. It's the kind of game that needs a sequel to fix all the design flaws and build upon the original foundation to make it more diverse and complex. I really liked it, despite it having huge, gaping flaws.

user they originally intended far more direct control over your legion and wanted you to be able to capture legions in regular combat.

What they realized after they'd already begun development was that the brain can't really focus on playing two characters at once so they needed to simplify things heavily.

this guy gets it. It has so much heart and soul put into it and it's an imperfect product. Zig Forums's favourite

The dressup features were really nice, but tI wish you could mix and match certain features like gunbelts and what have you more. I had four or five regular uniforms I'd swap into.
