The small studio in Japan actually wanted to make a great game instead of following a cookie cutter style of development.

They never had any to begin with. They made bland generic fantasy rpgs for 20 years, then EA bought the farm with the idea of milking their IPs until they are dead. After that, they moved from making bland games to concocting gigantic piles of steaming shit. End of story.

>>375965403
Yes, but as a fetish, not a way of life.

>>375965334
You'd be surprised how accurate this is. Diversity hiring and female quotas do big damage, add on top balding middle aged cucks in management that specifically try to hire as many women and trannies as possible, and you got a disaster.

Meritocracy is dead in north America, at least for industries like videogames.

>>375964221
I didn't like Automata at all, but this is because talent and vision is something that money can't essentially buy I guess.

A lot of money won't make your game magically better. You'll get shiny graphics and a boatload of content, but it wont change the core gameplay working the way it does and it wont change the writing.

A smaller team and budget is almost essential for creating better games. Everyone can remain on the same page in terms of the game's direction and the director has almost a free hand to pursue his passion without overbearing management stepping in and changing the game in order to appeal to the lowest common denominator for a return on their investment. What's more is that even the Platinum B team is competent and they wanted to work with Taro because they enjoyed his games and respected him as a director.

It's really no surprise that one is far better than the other.

>>375964221

Thats because 2B is barely even a character.
9S and A2 aren't much better at all. The whole cast felt pretty bland and when I was expected to care about the """romance""" between 9S and 2B I just sat there thinking how? Why?

Eh, I did enjoy the rest of the cast for what they were. I really do not like 2B though, there's no real reason for 9S to get attached to her either. Most of their dialogue could be surmized with 9S saying some exposition or his thoughts on a subject, and 2B just responding with "yeah" or "not my problem". I felt that 21O had much more chemistry with 9S in their little exchanges.

>Most of their dialogue could be surmized with 9S saying some exposition or his thoughts on a subject, and 2B just responding with "yeah" or "not my problem"
Honestly this yeah.
I seriously don't understand it when people say that the game has a great story. It explores some themes in philosophy and conveys a small message to the player, but the story itself is really barebones. It expects an emotional connection to a character that barely even has written dialogue and the dialogue that she does have is very mild and very short.

A2 is a huge missed opportunity as well since shes just a blank wall for 9S to shout at. I couldn't name a single thing about what makes A2 interesting besides her 3 minute history sequence with Anenome, which sadly and amazingly is more character development we see for A2 in 3 minutes than we see for 2B in 15 hours.

Not to be rude, but you either didn't play the game or weren't paying attention. 9s mentions that S models are built for recon and that he is alone all the time and he loves the company. That aside, he's spent a lot of time with 2b because she is ordered to off him when he gets too close to learning the truth. It's not specified how long they've known eachother, but it's implied it's been a while.

>>375966434
It's just because the game has a relatively weak narrative, especially in terms of characterisation. What's strange is that the characterisation is there, but most of it has to be applied retroactively. I played through the game twice and the first time I wasn't emotionally invested in the main characters at all and was left underwhelmed but the second time I was and everything that didn't work the first time suddenly did.

It's really a shame, as if the game could hit as emotionally hard as it does thematically the first time it would have been amazing.

I respectfully disagree with you and thoroughly enjoyed the game, my only problem really was with 2B. I think that it's more of overexposure from obnoxious waifufags that makes me dislike her, but I'm not sure at this point though. I get attached to characters fairly easily, but I didn't really feel anything when she died, and I ended up tearing up at Ending C and D. I can see why you felt let down though.

The thing that amazes me about Automata in comparison with Andromeda is a quality of animations relaying character emotions in cutscenes. 2B's barely suppressed smile when she finds 9S after her duel with Adam, 9S tenderly touching her cheek in route C or visibly losing his last marbles in 2E army battle, full of sexual tension strangulation scene, etc.
In comparison to this Andromeda looks like something animated by a team of complete amateurs.

>>375968224

Nier was made by a grim-focused studio with a passion for producing games that made even the casual player get invested in their stories, both of the main plot and the substories.

Bioware lost that a while ago, and honestly, MA:2 had the best characters out of the whole series. 1 set the ground for improvement and while it was fun, it didn't have anything I personally felt too intrigued by.

Also because Legion was the most interesting to me, and his role as a martyr for his whole race was something I expected, by desperately wanted to keep from him dying even if it would save thousands upon thousands.


So it's less of a "x-studio is better because gameplay" and more of a "x-studio gives me better characters I wanna know more about" kind of deal.
