Currently watching a playthrough of the second game. And I'm honestly surprised the game has faded from Ganker's collective memory already. There were quite a few threads when the first game released (and even for the pre-release ARG). But today's userbase don't even know about it.
>A game I've never heard of before, looks good and assumedly doesn't worry about political correctness, has great ratings and even is old enough to have fair sale price
Wishlisted.
>999 but worse
Avoiding being a rehash of Infinity/Zero Escape was probably the best aspect of AI1, and led to some nice character writing. I'm not sure how many times we need an Uchikoshi story about people who might not be able to trust each other trying to leave a location.
>Brother and family visits, including Minecraft-obsessed nephew >Don't have Minecraft but figured I'll put on the Shovelforge somnium for him >Plays for 2 seconds and says it sucks, goes back on his phone watching streamers
The hormones they pump into his brain to make up for the fact that he's in the body of a sociopath have warped his personality.
He seems pretty normal in the flashbacks.
>He seems pretty normal in the flashbacks
Nirvana Initiative has likely retconned that, among other things, since Date speaks of his childhood with the same level of interest for porn as he is now.
>first game dealt with Egyptian mythology with Iris >second game dealt with Buddhist and Hindu beliefs with chakra and moksha
What will the third game be about?
>keeps the fucking face in NI with a MASK??? >for absolutely no fucking reason >when it would clearly be traumatic >is also somehow taller lol lmao
What the fuck was the author fucking smoking to just completely destroy his character like that? One of the most absolutely retarded things to ever happen
The lengths Nirvana Initiative went through to make it sure it could be the first game in the series any person could play is very obtuse, might as well tell the audience the first game never happened.
>my friend Kodaka said I should market the sequel to people who have not played the first game >this sounds like a very good idea, let me rewrite the characters around this concept
Going out of his way to no spoiler new people. But then again they also left the prototype psync machine in the abandoned fabric. I guess halfway in he stopped caring.
Tbh Date in Saito's body is much more entertaining especially greg chun as the VA. >hurr durr eng VA
Unironically better than japanese one for those 2 games.
well several reasons >people wouldn't be spoiled on the first game if they played this one >Saito Date's VA is practically iconic for the character after the first game
the game's setting itself is incredibly goofy anyway, it's not outside the realm of possibility and Date is a perverted asshole anyway
The biggest issue was not making Date the MC again, Uchikoshi deliberately went the ZTD route of making a spoiler-free sequel.
Ryuki was fine, but half of the game is Mizuki when she doesn't work well as a protag at all.
Pic related made me appreciate hacks like Ushi more. You dont know how bad at is when you figured the plot out and it still goes on for hours until reveal. Yes it's grounded and doesnt do any asspulls but who cares when it isnt interesting.
>it felt perfectly paced for me
Even after the night? I have to admit i was a bit harsh its alright but the pacing gets really slow during day. Also the freedom of using the curse stone or not is a complete lie. You never have that option until the very end with Harue.
The day does get slower paced, yeah, but I was just enjoying all the character interactions so I found it to be more of a welcome break from the tension than a pace killer. The mechanics also felt like they were underused from their full potential, but I don't think any particular instance of them being used was bad.
I think the most baffling part of him going out of the way to not spoil the first game is having the quiz at the beginning to see if you played it and then still doing basically nothing with it.
Not american and I don't mind such stuff, but not when it's takes up 90% of the game. Date's PORN MAAAAAAG powers are even used as a crutch in a pretty important encounter with an antagonist
I figure Date just got sidelined pretty hard in general honestly. Must be due to trying to come up with some stupid excuse for him still looking like Saito.
>There's a receptionist with huge breasts
Huge breasts.
Breasts.
give big tiddy retard gf
What game is this?
Currently watching a playthrough of the second game. And I'm honestly surprised the game has faded from Ganker's collective memory already. There were quite a few threads when the first game released (and even for the pre-release ARG). But today's userbase don't even know about it.
he asked for the name of the game, you dumb fucking american mutt.
filename, retard
AI somnium files
God I hate modern translators.
In all fairness her whole thing is that she talks so heavily in slang she sounds brain damaged.
She's an airhead Stacy, it fits.
10/10 design why do you fags never make threads with this character.
huge tits make 2d girls 1000% more attractive.
boner lost
>Hag talking like a brain dead zoomer
I can only get so hard.
The ending where he abandons his eye and runs away with her is kinda fucked up actually considering his condition.
>game only presents oxytocin defficiency as being a ruthless killer when he could just be a dumb autist
Or he could just be an unhappy man. Popular media always goes for an extreme dramatization of shit.
>A game I've never heard of before, looks good and assumedly doesn't worry about political correctness, has great ratings and even is old enough to have fair sale price
Wishlisted.
>assumedly doesn't worry about political correctness
who's gonna tell him?
>assumedly
As long as you can grit your teeth and handle 2-5 lines of woke pandering, it should be fine.
>assumedly doesn't worry about political correctness
Oh no no no no no nobody tell him
tits too small
>What if we made 999 but worse
What happened to these games? Ace attorney and danganronpa were huge and then they just stopped making them
They ran out of plot twists
>999 but worse
Avoiding being a rehash of Infinity/Zero Escape was probably the best aspect of AI1, and led to some nice character writing. I'm not sure how many times we need an Uchikoshi story about people who might not be able to trust each other trying to leave a location.
999 was already "what if we made Ever17 but worse" and Ever17 was already one-upped by Remember11.
Which way?
They're called AI BALLS for a reason.
Tama was made for sex
I couldn't handle a relationship with Tama
>Brother and family visits, including Minecraft-obsessed nephew
>Don't have Minecraft but figured I'll put on the Shovelforge somnium for him
>Plays for 2 seconds and says it sucks, goes back on his phone watching streamers
It's over.
>receptionist
>behind the desk
Well, duh.
Date is just like me, bros
Mizuki needs severe rape correction for that, nobody messes with a man's porn stash.
I actually did miss a whole chapter's worth of conversations with Mizuki in my first playthrough of the first game, shame.
Spoil mizukis secret that she pleases fat old men.
Was Falco also a gigacoomer or was it a side effect of "becoming" Date?
The hormones they pump into his brain to make up for the fact that he's in the body of a sociopath have warped his personality.
He seems pretty normal in the flashbacks.
>He seems pretty normal in the flashbacks

Nirvana had some issues but Aiba doing the Date routine with this ditz was not one of them.
>that moment in Ryuki's somnium when Aiba starts talking about anal
*teleports in front of her*
nothing personal ma'am
>first game dealt with Egyptian mythology with Iris
>second game dealt with Buddhist and Hindu beliefs with chakra and moksha
What will the third game be about?
Kabbalah seems like the perfect target. And a lot of nip games are already exploiting it.
chud game.
Whats up with the daily AI threads recently?
>hot dominatrix and her good-natured schizo partner
Despite AI2 being shit i love this dynamic.
Why do these threads get like 20-30 posts within minutes but then dies immediately?
the first game was fucking garbage, why would i ever play the sequel
You shouldn't play the sequel regardless, even people who liked the first game hated AINI.
Second game is a mess but so are you. AI is kino.
I like both. They're soulful.
>keeps the fucking face in NI with a MASK???
>for absolutely no fucking reason
>when it would clearly be traumatic
>is also somehow taller lol lmao
What the fuck was the author fucking smoking to just completely destroy his character like that? One of the most absolutely retarded things to ever happen

>my friend Kodaka said I should market the sequel to people who have not played the first game
>this sounds like a very good idea, let me rewrite the characters around this concept
even when he doesn't makes the games Kodaka also tricks people kwab (kek what a boss)
His motives were complex, you just wouldn't get it

Make us whole again.
Wait no that's the wrong schizo game. Uhhh love A-set you bet
I really enjoyed AI, but I can't get into Nirvana Initiative
The biggest issue was not making Date the MC again, Uchikoshi deliberately went the ZTD route of making a spoiler-free sequel.
Ryuki was fine, but half of the game is Mizuki when she doesn't work well as a protag at all.
When Ryuki was "speaking Chinese" I saw it as a reference to Covid, like, they were criticizing it and shitting on the Chinese because of it
3rd game when?
in 1-2 years probably. Trailer in few months. The series is doing alot better now and the devs wanna continue so i guess its a sure thing.
Pic related made me appreciate hacks like Ushi more. You dont know how bad at is when you figured the plot out and it still goes on for hours until reveal. Yes it's grounded and doesnt do any asspulls but who cares when it isnt interesting.
Yeah I genuinely got bored of this. Uchikoshi might have batshit writing tendencies, but at least it's always entertaining.
That's a shame, I really liked Paranormasight, and it felt perfectly paced for me
>it felt perfectly paced for me
Even after the night? I have to admit i was a bit harsh its alright but the pacing gets really slow during day. Also the freedom of using the curse stone or not is a complete lie. You never have that option until the very end with Harue.

yeah it's a lie but it's a part of the plot
I think the most baffling part of him going out of the way to not spoil the first game is having the quiz at the beginning to see if you played it and then still doing basically nothing with it.
Was she in the second game? i still havent played it yet
of course
and hasn't visibly aged a day despite the timeskip
>game ends with dance number
HOLY KINO
I want to suck on her huge breasts and cum inside her vagina
Stop making such esoteric unclear posts
Do I get to have sex with or romance her if I play this game?
She has a joke ending that's really more of a game over state than anything.
Dont you have a /weg/ thread to attend to?
Can Uchikoshi make a good game again? Or will it all be BOOBS LMAO and PORN MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG
Do americans really get filtered this hard
I guess. The porno mag is making fun of all these ridiculous action scenes in any detective movies, games and what not.
Not american and I don't mind such stuff, but not when it's takes up 90% of the game. Date's PORN MAAAAAAG powers are even used as a crutch in a pretty important encounter with an antagonist
Perfect woman.
>42
HAG EROTIC UUOOHH
>used goods
sex: yes
Huge misstep not letting you play as Date for a Somnium
How do I get an Aiba gf?
>Best part of the original was the banter between these two
>Sequel only has them interact like 2 times the whole game
What were they thinking?
I figure Date just got sidelined pretty hard in general honestly. Must be due to trying to come up with some stupid excuse for him still looking like Saito.
>ive hidden 3 balloons somewhere in Tokyo...you have to find them
was it bring a retard to work day at the writers department?
It's Uchikoshi we're talking about here so that's every day.
>still no Aiba of my own
existence on this earth is a curse
