The Art Style and Graphics Discussion

[KasumiLover]

Just gonna say my favorite SK girls too!

Spoiler

I love ALL of the A.R.C.Angels team. The twins and Tachibana especially.

Then I also love Chiyo.

And kanzaki! (So such hotness right there)

And Kuroudo looks awesome.

Going back to Tachibana, I'm not normally into girls with long hair, but goddamn I love her hair so much!

Wish these girls were in the 3d games

Nice taste, Tachibana is definitely attractive! Glad to see you revel in the beauty and mystique that is long hair. ;-) I like Miyabi, and she strangely has short hair which I'm not too fond of, even Ryona.

Yeah usually short hair is my thing but the way Tachibana styles hers is gorgeous.

I like miyabi and the girl whose costume Mila got. Ryona is take it or leave it for me.

I was watching more gameplay of Senran Kagura and I'm still not sure if I should get it or not, Personally I actually think it looks pretty fine graphics wise. It really looks fun though. If I don't get it I'll probably try to get what ever console game in the series comes out next.

I'd recommend it if it's ever on sale. I've heard the team that makes it is focusing on other projects atm so there probably won't be a new one anytime soon

Is online fun?

From what I've heard PvP is broken depending on the characters used and a lot of people do annoying stuff but survival's supposed to be fun

I finally started playing saints row gat outta hell which came with 4 but I never actually downloaded, it's really good. I like the art direction

Spoiler: a few more

of course there'd be a furries-only bar in hell

Vlad the Impaler's castle which got taken over by frat demons, they walk around in t-shirts and shorts with wooden hazing paddles lol

Blackbeard's ship

Lots and lots of lava

 

[KasumiLover]

Is there any normal civilians in that game? The whole Hell and lava atmosphere already ruins the vibe for me, but is there at least normal people and not demon spawn everywhere? That kinda unnerves me...

 

[Chapstick]

I personally love the atmosphere, I think it's really well done and complete. There are only demons (basically the cops of hell) and "husks" (the zombie-ish looking thing under the high fryer sign) aka people that got sent to hell. There are also some different monsters. The husks were kinda creepy at first but after the first trauma fraud mission (the ragdoll ones, you do them as husks in this game to shave off years of punishment for damned souls rather than collect money) I just found them funny. There's a lot of tongue-in-cheek humor in the game I loved, one cutscene was randomly set as a musical number with Satan, his daughter, Johnny Gat, and Kinzie singing and when the next cutscene started with one sung line Gat cut Satan's daughter off and said "we're not doing that again"

So while it has a very serious and dark setting it's full of that saints row humor. There are 7 deadly sin weapons and the sloth one is an old armchair with gatling guns on the arms and it's like the most OP thing in the game

 

[KasumiLover]

Oh really?? Hm...I'll have to consider getting it then, I guess I can work past the darker atmosphere, I'm just really used to the vanilla SR3 version I guess. I'm just not a huge fan of darker atmosphere and design, which is why Shiki in SKEV is literally the creepiest girl to play imo...those bats she summon all the time disturb me, especially in her winpose <_> I prefer more colorful and brighter styles.

 

[Chapstick]

If Shiki's boobs with wings bats disturb you don't buy this lol

There are a lot of really awesome superpowers in this but if you haven't played 4 at all you probably wouldn't be familiar with that.

 

[KasumiLover]

Speaking of dark, has anyone here did that RE7 demo? How does it look, I'm too soft to try it out myself..

 

[Jadeinchains]

I've done it a couple of times and it isn't scary besides one or two little jumps so I think you'd be fine. The atmosphere is great I'd say and I thought the graphics were great as well.

 

[Chapstick]

It looked good, I think they accomplished the aesthetic they were going for of a creepy abandoned 60's house pretty well. The amount of detail downstairs vs upstairs was weird though like they ran out of time with the 2nd and 3rd floors.

 

[Tyaren]

I watched a Youtube let's play (with several endings) and I thought RE7 looked graphically pretty disappointing. Low resoultion textures and the lighting, for such an integral part of the game and graphics engine, was also pretty poorly done. PT or Until Dawn or the dark parts in The Order 1886 looked imho way better. Some spooky pics from The Order:

 

[KasumiLover]

Woah, those look pretty creepy. I'll have to get past my reluctance soon, but idk. I remember when I was 14-15 and I tried playing RE:Revelations on 3DS....when that first monster attacked me I froze up and couldn't do anything besides watch Jill get defiled and killed by that nasty beast.

 

[KasumiLover]

Sorry if this counts as a DP, but here are some Saints row 3 vanilla designs I've found that the developers made:

This is the female biker I've talked about, I like her design and the VA who voiced her.

The deckers, the best enemy gang hands down...I wish I was a decker. Matt is my favorite, but in terms of generic enemy gang member, I like the female specialist the most, Mary Elizabeth Mcglynn KILLED the voice, I loved the British cockney and how much power she brought for the voice. I especially like her design, and I always had fun fighting her in the survival missions. All you gotta do is have bullet immunity and do a groin attack at her at close range, and then crush crush when she's vulnerable on the ground. XD But yeah, these designs I enjoyed.

 

[Jadeinchains]

I'm getting a Jet Set Radio vibe from the girl in roller skates!

 

[KasumiLover]

I think that was the inspiration, they all seem so inspired by neocyberpuunk and gothica too with the make up and hair. I also like how they all speak with british accents, and they always carry the best high tech weapns.

 

[Chapstick]

I remember the female deckers being one of the biggest pains in the ass in SR3, hard to catch and kill them. I like the third design the most. Can't bring myself to like the female one, I hated fighting them and I hate multi-tier mini skirts

 

[KasumiLover]

The second is my favorite male one, but I liked the female decker, she was so epic to try to bring down. I remember one quote she said, "I will chop off your f*cking head and CRAP down your throat!", lol she was so feisty. She also can kill all your homies in very little time, like all I hear when she's onscreen is her threats, heavy gunfire and that scythe she holds and the screams of my poor homies dying out as she kills them. I genuinely didn't like killing her though, I wish she could've been an unlockable gang member, instead I have to use the no bang ponytail "ho" just to hear the prostitute version of her voice. ~_~

She sounds like she's quoting Duke Nukem, Not that that would be surprising if it turns out to be true since there's references everywhere In saints row.

I hate multi-tier mini skirts

That hurts me inside but to be honest I was thinking that It didn't suit the rest of her outfit either.

 

[Juihau]

To be fair, Duke Nukem himself is basically a walking reference machine, and that line is no exception.
