Going back to a point I made earlier, do any of SK's trailers even hint at this dark storyline or entice passers-by to want to find out more about the world or are they all just supercuts of clothes falling off and boob jiggling? (Not in the mood to fuck up my YouTube suggestions at the moment but maybe I will be later. lol)
I knew you was going to be the first to quote me back and again, I feel that you completely missed exactly what I was saying from the start to randomly toss this out...AGAIN.
Is the dark storyline tossed out alot? No it's not since it's pretty damn grimdark and the creator has NEVER been about that even from the word go for how he wanted his game to be seen. I don't see how that diffuses my point AT ALL when my entire point was trying to dismiss Senran Kagura the exact same way people dismiss Dead or Alive and completely missing the irony.
There is the adage "Don't judge a book by its cover." But, if you're also responsible for the covers of your book as well as the content, then you still have to face the music eventually. No one's going to Wiki the individual endings to the game. You can't bank on someone trying to dig underneath 2 or 3 layers of smut to get to the serious commentary you may or may not be hiding. It may very well be srs bzns 50%+ of the time, but are they giving people any reason to believe so?
If you want to actually talk about the game and not look like a pretentious ass...yeah, people expect you to actually do your damn research.
I don't even know why you are talking for @Sotherius when he's the one who put his foot in his mouth about something he didn't even try to look up...while being a fan of this game, WHICH PEOPLE DO THE SAME FREAKING THING TO!
DOA at least up to DOA5 Ultimate did with most of the trailers I remember. Hell, even the LR launch trailer was pretty damn awesome. The problem is now any trailer they release is of more nonsensical costumes to buy. That's going to be what sticks in people's minds.
Did you really miss the "You Kick High"? The Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 commercials where they showed off the six-axis support...for jiggle physics? the Xtreme Beach Volleyball games in general?
I'm not actually disagreeing with you at all and do agree that it's becoming a little too out of hand but ultimately, it's something that's not getting under my skin or killing off my enjoyment of the series at all and it will obviously turn people off(people have been turned away from games like Injustice for honestly far less). But what I'm saying is do your research before talking about a game you know nothing about because it becomes very easy to make someone into a fool.
I haven't played the games, no, i got curious because ayane was in one, but then, from what i've seen they haven't made her justice at all, with dumb car flying moves and a raging mountain god that doesn't kill anyone, and making her doing submissive fanservice poses again, and, more important than that, i'm pretty demanding towards action games that i play, and the games seemed incredibly underwhelming gameplay-wise.
You can say: "oh, it is a fucked up story, just like dead or alive", and i'm still trying to convey, that it is not, it is fucked up in its own way, but it is a completely different artstyle, different type of over the top, that doesn't match the DOA series, in my opinion.
Most characters in DOA are awesome, unique, exceptional, and are really interesting on their own right, I haven't seen people saying anything even remarkable about senran kagura characters besides: "she is hot because she is a masochist" or "she is hot because she has abs" or "femjotaro looks cool".
Maybe i'm misjudging the series like i did towards DOA before getting into it, but i doubt Senran Kagura would deliver the kind of gameplay or character design/background/type that would make me change opinions like i did towards DOA.
That's still very ignorant of you considering the fact that because "They didn't represent Ayane well" means that it somehow doesn't have a dark storyline like Dead or Alive...despite if anything, there have been some oddly ridiculous endings even for DOA and strips away the dark atmosphere just as much at times.
-Ugh, I despise waking up in the morning for stuff like this. And @werewolfgold you know damn well Soul Calibur is NOT DETABALE! When you hype up a character whose sole trait is that she will always wear armor and not being sexy...in a game where the girls are at their absolute skimpiness, with a customization tool that makes it stupid easy to simply have her wear something else, including in their underwear and later down the line have a character creator in which you can give a female VOLDO'S MOVESET with zero irony whatsoever along with alot more options to tinker with... and that isn't even including the absolutely gratuitous F2P game(absolute emphasis on Pay 2 Win and Pay to even get some of the other characters, notably the females like Cassandra....ugh) which went to costume levels you would see with just the skimpiest bikini in XBV.
That shit isn't detabable and anyone who says otherwise is very delusional.
