Blind Rasputin posted:Is 13 sentinels a game that will feel like GOTY and elicit these impressions if you have a strong aversion to anime? I have never consumed much of any anime content because it just is not my thing at all. I’m curious if this game overcomes that aversion for players? If so, that’s pretty remarkable. Just watch a video of someone playing and see for yourself.

I have never consumed much of any anime content because it just is not my thing at all. I’m curious if this game overcomes that aversion for players? If so, that’s pretty remarkable. I have never seen an anime show, movie, or whatever, and don't think it's my thing at all either, and I just finished 13 sentinels and it is absolutely worth getting. I found it just a little cringey/over the top in the first 30 mins or so, but the story engrossed me to the point that I got past that and then it is just an amazing, amazing game that just happens to have characters drawn in that style. Don't let yourself miss it because you don't "like anime".

While wiggling, it blows my eardrums out. He’s one of my best friends but it’s been like a loving year since he broke it. my man. buy your bro a microphone that works

Is it explained in the same way it is explained that a scantily dressed elementary school kid is actually a 1000-year-old shapeshifted dragon?

it's explained in the game and the explanation makes sense even keeping in mind anime conventions, but it would be a large spoiler so people itt tend to skirt around the issue

If you want to know the reason big spoilers the kids are androids and they plug into the robots via their bottom half, so they're still topless for no reason

Nah, and to be honest if the game hadn’t explicitly mentioned it in dialogue (which is the only time it’s pointed out, as far as I remember) I probably wouldn’t have even noticed it was a thing. Unless monochrome drawings of bare shoulders are your bag there’s nothing sexy going on with the ‘nudity’. I’m anime neutral at best and I really enjoyed the game.

fridge corn posted:The aversion is toward the children who have to get naked in order to pilot their robots It’s mostly this, actually. Beyond just disliking everything in general about the anime art style and narrative/acting conventions, I’ve always disliked how anime over-specializes the female characters. In every clip of 13 sentinels I’ve seen there’s one girl who’s either in underwear or jogging shorts that look like underwear. Where are her pants? Why is this necessary? Nearly every anime game, tv show, movie, has to draw the females in the most hyper sexual way possible. It’s not great. I didn’t know these high school students in the game were naked? But yeah they just made up an in-story excuse to make them naked. Because it’s anime and the genre in general has gotten pretty drat carried away with doing this for a while now.

Looking at it, the game is incredibly tame and neutral by Vanillaware standards, I have to give it that.

I just got one been lurking this thread forever. I managed to get one in the direct queue using FireFox containers add on, it creates different sessions. Just FYI if anyone is still trying to get one. I've been getting burned by bots for months and finally got fed up with it and decided I was gonna cheat too.
