Nier, the differance an art style makes.

It's funny how much an art style can make people do a 180 on a game. Read more to find out.

Nier: Gestalt- "I don't know about this game. It look generic and SE is pandering to the western audience."

Nier: Replicant- "OMG! This game is awesome! I love the art! SE is an amazing company, I can't wait for this game!

As you can see, Nier: Replicant is seen as the superior game. Why? Because it has a Japanese art style, even though it just as generic as Gestalt.

Weeb: Hold on a sec! Did you just call Replicant generic?!
Me: Yeah.
Weeb: It's better than Gestalts shitty western style....
Me: uh huh. Let me guess, because it's Anime right?
Weeb: Well yeah, Gestalt has a generic western art style.
Me: And Replicant has a generic as fuck Anime style. What's your point?
Weeb: Generic?!
Me: Yes generic. The character designs in Replicant are run of the mill anime you see everyday.
Weeb: Your racist, you hate Japan.
Me: lol what? Hate Japan? What are you talking about?
Weeb: You hate anime, so therefore you hate Japan....
Me: :Cosmic fucking face palm: Who said I hated Anime?
Weeb: Well you said that Replicant has a generic art style...
Me: Because it does. I like Anime and what not, but that doesn't mean I can't be critical of it.
Weeb: Well, I guess I see your point.
Me: And for the record, Gestalt looks generic as well.

Weeaboo's....Weeaboo's never change.

Dragon Age: Leliana Origins trailer.

So the folks at Bioware released another trailer. This one focusing on Leliana, who is about as interesting as a cardboard cut out. Some stuff I like about the trailer, and stuff I really didn't.

The trailer fairly short, but showed some combat and the rather poor animations. Every time Leliana fires her bow, her upper torso moves forward for reasons unknown. The voice acting is still in needs a bit of work as do the character models. They in all honesty look the same. I liked the armor designs though.

Also in the video is a glimpse of the sex scene you can have with Leliana, and boy is it funny. The look on her face was a riot. It was the "just hurry up and do what you wanna do" look. I have a feeling DA is gonna be a pretty good game, but with a healthy amount of trying way to hard to be serious funny stuff.

Fallout 3's power armor is deep stuff man!

So says Destructoid.

"You know, I think in a post-apocalyptic game like Fallout 3, when you put on a suit of Power Armor, you’re saying to the Wasteland, saying to the world, ‘I’m a badass. Bring it.’ These are the guys who have gone beyond survival. They’re no longer on the defensive, and are bringing the fight to the enemy. Because, when you think about it, so much of the equipment used by the guys in Fallout 3 is pure crap. The guns have decades-old tape on the stocks, everything is near broken, lots of stuff is cobbled together from spare parts. Everyone is barely surviving. But the Power Armor is constructed, and maintained. It’s a step above what any average Wasteland dweller has. And having access to equipment like means you’re probably part of an organized group, like the Brotherhood of Steel or Enclave -- those are the guys with the resources and determination to strap themselves into Power Armor and go on the offensive."

Wow...just wow Emil. Why is it that every time that Emil, Todd, and Pete open their mouth something amazingly stupid comes out? It's amazing really. It's been almost a year since Fallout 3 came out and the 3 Stooges STILL talk about it. Time for a line by line break down of this latest gem by Emil.

"

Umm...what? No it doesn't Emil. The Brotherhood uses Power Armor because it's a powerful piece of pre-war technology and the Brotherhood is always in the mood for using pre-war tech. This line shows just how little Bethesda know about Fallout, and it's really sad because the 3 stooges keep spouting this bull.

"

No longer on the defensive and taking the fight to the enemy? What the hell are you talking about Emil? Did they really bother playing the game? I mean yeah, the whole "We're such huge fans" line they say constantly but I really would like to know, did they actually play the older games? To answer the question at hand, the Brotherhood was never on the defensive and they always kept to themselves. As for the whole taking the fight to the enemy and fighting the good fight nonsense that the Brotherhood in FO3 talk about. That's a simple lack of understanding on Bethesda's part and as usual not understanding a damn thing about Fallout.

"Because, when you think about it, so much of the equipment used by the guys in Fallout 3 is pure crap. The guns have decades-old tape on the stocks, everything is near broken, lots of stuff is cobbled together from spare parts"

Sure Emil, sure they are. That's why every Raider and Talon Company Mercenary have numerous assault rifles , rocket launchers, and in the case of the Talon Company, well maintained suit of combat armor. Keep up the top grade bull shit.

"
Everyone is barely surviving."

Jesus Christ....barely surviving my butt. Yes, the people on the east coast are just in such a horrid situation. That's why they have a metric ton of food, water, and ammo. The everyone is barely surviving line is wore out Emil, give it a rest.

"

Oi, keep up the good work Emil. God listening to Emil or anyone from Bethesda is like beating your head against the wall.

Oh and don't worry, plenty more Emil lol-a-thon, as he did an interview with some random gaming site. I'll post it later, and it's a doozy.
