Its interesting, they tried the same thing with mixing gameplay and storytelling the right way, but Kojima got high on the attention and is still high as fuck on it, while Taro is the exact opposite and seems more likely to stop making games because of his first big success.

I've only played one of Taros games and I'm glad I haven't spent more money or time playing them. I feel the only reason people here praise him so much is because he always puts on a ride of muh feels and muh pseudo intellectual philosophy writing in an anime plotline. I played Automata and holy god was it mediocre throughout. The man has cool concepts and occasionally good writing too, but he can't design a game to save his fucking life.

>>
>>376621305
One man is humble, goofy, and eccentric and makes great games with the budget of two Kirins and a Commodore 64.

The other is a pompous asshat that makes movie games in hopes that his favorite actors notice him and he gets paid millions of dollars to do that shit.

Kojima hasn't made a good game since MGS 3, after they kicked out Tomokazu Fukushima.

Taro on the other hand, has been thrust into the limelight because he's a genuinely interesting and likable person who makes quirky games that are still games, perhaps even to a fault (with the multiple playthrough thing).

>>376623335
All of the MGS games have had pretty good gameplay for their time. MGSV obviously is the weakest in terms of level design and variety, but it wouldn't be fair to not make mention of how it has the smoothest and most responsive controls so far and overall just feels great control-wise. The same goes for Nier Automata, with great action controls and movesets out of the gate, however pretty much let down entirely by enemy designs that don't fit with the playstyle the game goes for, and shitty balancing that makes it unfun for anyone who wants a hard but fair challenge.

Neither of them think gameplay is unimportant, in fact it was a huge priority for Kojima in his games that the gameplay remains fun and that is not sacrificed. Taro I think has mostly been held back by shit tier budgets with amateur dev teams. Drakengard and Nier could definitely have been a blast if the gameplay was fleshed out more, but SE has just never been good at this shit. With Nier at least, while he couldn't make awesome combat, he did his best to keep the game fresh and interesting by mixing so many genres into it. As for Platinum and Nier:A, the controls are fantastic and lightyears ahead of Drakengard and Nier, the only problem is the enemy designs don't really fit with the playstyle, and the balancing is just awful which makes it unfun for anyone who wants a hard but fair challenge, and it's really only because of those things that it wasn't the ARPG with DMC/Bayo combat that would have taken action games and RPGs to a new level.

I have to second this. Bloodborne is by far a way more polished and complete game with much more solid gameplay, but Taro as a director just has such interesting ideas. As long as he has a decent budget and a team that knows how to make fun gameplay, the sky's the limit for this man.

>>376627159

>>
>>376621305
Kojima made a shitload of good games, including stuff like Boktai and Zone of the Enders. Taro literally made one good but still heavily flawed game.
>>
>>376626267
Haven't played Drakengard 3. I know it's an abysmal game, but here's the thing, Taro is not a conventional writer. He's experimental, he wants to do new things, he wants to think outside of the box and go for ideas that are kind of in a grayzone between what you can or can't do, both in writing and game design. If you are even remotely interested in unique and original experiences, then Taro is someone to be interested in too. That's the whole reason for his cult following. Drakengard 1 and Nier both had sub-par to mediocre gameplay, but they are strange and unique as fuck, and that's what people love about them. I can't speak for D3, I have no idea if it has interesting themes or whatever, but one failure is not a good reason to disregard all of his work. Failures are something that can happen when being experimental, that's why big publishers don't invest in them and keep churning out call of duty 15 or cinematic movie experience 21 and so on. Taro is helping keep video games alive.

>>376627159
Because Taro still directed Nier:A while Kojima didn't have anything at all to do with MGR aside from looking at the story and saying "yeah sure go ahead".
>>
>>376627315

It had one section of gameplay and that was a flashback to Shadow Moses the rest of the 'game' was 30 minute long cutscenes of shitty Kojima writing.

>Also, why does Nier Tomato count as a Taro game, but MGR doesn't count as a Kojima game?
Because Kojima wasn't there to fuck it up and surprisingly it was one of the best MGS games since 3.

Will never understand why skipping cutscenes triggers /v/ so much.

Also, MGSV had great gameplay, it just lacked interior environments, standard humanoid bosses other than Quiet and the simming was shit.

I'm pretty sure you're retarded, but go ahead and explain. I'm also pretty sure that you don't know how much he influenced the gameplay, and I'd personally say he probably influenced it quite a bit more than you'd think.

>>376621305
Does the answer "Yoko Taro" even count when it comes from /v/? He makes waifu pandering games and said in an interview that he does so because he loves women. There will be always an extreme bias on /v/, any answer on here is meaningless since it's devoid of any objectivity.

There's nothing 'questionable' about them, they're outright bad, and the meaning behind that is Taro is a hack.

Riddle me this Anon, if he lacked resources, then why did he devote resources to making an entirely different sort of gameplay in shitty shmup sections and design a body system everyone hates? What do resources have to do with decent checkpoints, making good enemy layouts using enemies you've already created, adding a delevel mechanic, melee becoming pointless and not being retarded about healing?

atmosphere and mood created by NPCs in a game is a huge aspect for many. It's something that games as a medium can do, which books cannot. If you want good gameplay, go play doom or something. If you want a good story, go read a book. However, those people that like to experiment on the edges of mediums and genres within mediums, yoko taro games are quite interesting.

Because repetitive gameplay is boring and sudden twists to gameplay is fun and interesting and puts you in a state of mind where you never know what you're gonna get next. Obviously you just want to play DMC so this is lost on you.

>What do resources have to do with decent checkpoints, making good enemy layouts using enemies you've already created, adding a delevel mechanic, melee becoming pointless and not being retarded about healing?
How do resources not have something to do with all of this? All of that takes time to get right or even get working in the first place.

Kojima himself has done better the "feel sympathy for your enemies" shit that Taro constantly tries to pull off. In MGS3, you don't have to kill anyone, but if you do, you get that Sorrow boss fight where all you've killed make you feel remorse for your actions.

In Nier, fucking enemies you kill (who pretty much always attack you first) drop fucking coloring books, and the later revelation that all the shades you've killed are humans is such an embarrassingly unsubtle way of attempting to make the character feel sympathy. People who fall for his gimmicks are complete jokes.
>>
>>376631458
No the current meme is to pretend everything after MGS 3 wasn't a disappointing failure because you can't let go of the fact that Kojima is a hack carried by Tomokazu.

>sudden twists to gameplay is fun
You mean shit genre twists worse than the core gameplay in every way possible that makes the sections it's incorporated into ten times as frustrating.

>puts you in a state of mind where you never know what you're gonna get next.
Except on subsequent playthroughs, which I'm guessing you don't do, along with higher difficulties.

>How do resources not have something to do with all of this?
Why would you add an entirely new style of gameplay that has nothing to do with the core and is trash compared to it when you don't have time to get the core right in the first place? How many resources do you think it took to create Forbidden Fruit, add checkpoints, or paste enemies into parts of the map? I'm guessing not many.

>All of that takes time to get right
Which Taro decided to waste on shitty shmups.

>or even get working in the first place.
Yeah, it takes thousands of manhours to figure out 'gee, maybe I shouldn't let players carrying around hundreds of invincibly used healing items at a time in a hack and slash game'.

>I thought that was obvious
What would that be? Don't be vague and just allude to imaginary positives that don't exist, cite real ones.

you keep accussing the people who enjoy Nier as being some sort of mega fedora-tippers. this game is particularly deep, and as a diehard taro game I actually think his games are quite barebones. The whole reason his games are good is because the way the characters interact with their worlds is quite unique and interesting, and in Nier and drakengard it's all about how the characters bounce off each other and react to one revelation after another. ti's feels not some sort of hegel and kant philosophical discussion.

It's more like you are autistic about gameplay and think that only 10/10 action is good enough for a game to deserve to exist, if the gameplay isn't godlike to you, then it's just trash, and nothing else matters.

>>376632762
There's really no other way to put it. If you aren't interested in these subjects then you are wasting your time trying to play Taro's games and should find other places to shitpost.

>>376632782
It's about perspectives. There's no villains, everyone fights for what they believe in, but no matter how heroic it might seem to you, someone is suffering at the other end of that rope. It's not meant to just be some trick to make you feel bad for killing people and let that be the end of it. "Oh but that's not deep at all that's basic as fuck"; because the point isn't to shove some message down your neck like this, it's about widening your eyes solely for the sake of making you stop and think. This is what's lost on most people who dislike the writing for Nier:A. They think they are going to get some sick deep philosophical message at some point in the story that will make them question their existence or whatever, but that was never the goal, the point is only to present you with an interesting concept and then let you think about that and come up with your own answers. Most people don't think about these things at all. If they don't get an answer, they think one doesn't exist, and the writing is shallow and pretentious. Because even though they went to philosophy class and were fascinated by what they learned, they never understood that the most important thing to learn from these philosophers was to think for themselves. And that's the kind of person who I've been arguing with. One that literally doesn't give a shit because the gameplay wasn't godlike enough.

You're right, only one can continue. And they both will.

Yoko Taro is just Hideo Kojima wearing a mask. That's why he never shows his face, because then people would know what his real identity is.

If you've been paying attention, there are subtle hints to this. For example, the breaking of his mask straight through the right eye is similar to Punished Snake having an eye injury that requires an eyepatch. And when you think about it, have these two ever appeared alongside one another in the same place? And if they did - how do you know Taro isn't just a different guy pretending to be Taro (Kojima) to keep up the charade for Kojima?
>>

And it's still a competent TPS.
This has gone to people defending the completely lackluster combat of Nier, it is complete drone status at this point.

>combat alone is what makes gameplay

nier is praised for it's creative use of genre-switching, and in that way it's gameplay is actually superior to other games. the combat is serviceable, it's not CUHRAZY tier but nor is it drakengard, a game with actual shitty gameplay.
>>
>>376637883
Doesn't TLoU take place in some post-apocalyptic future with zombie-like virus or whatever? How exactly is it taking place within reality? Because it's not as far in the future as Nier: Automata is? Because you arbitrarily find its setting more believable than Nier's? Even if it did, that being a factor for how interesting a story can be only speaks of your lack of imagination. And how are Nier:A's characters not humanized? If you say it's because they're machines I'm gonna laugh. >>376637895 I'd say this guy probably just made a very good point as well as to why Nier:A's story stands out more than TLoU's.

Nier Automata was the first time Taro tried to make good gameplay, a good story, and try to interweave it together in such a way that it explored areas that only games could - the story practically crescendo's upon itself during the introduction of route C where the game apparently becomes unfolds and becomes the sequel to itself. Route A is effectively the beginning of the book, route B being the middle, route C the end.

What's interesting here is how each route serves an undeniable purpose, with how a collection of stories and pieces of context begin to form a complex web of intricacies that form logical, and sometimes insane conclusions and realizations, which inevitably ends up feeding your expectations, all while Taro dodges them.

I realize that his past titles do this, to some extent, but I largely consider them failures when I see Automata. That's not to say I don't like them, I fucking love NieR and Drakengard, but I see an evolution in how Yoko Taro has made this game, and I see him getting better at it. If I were to put it another way, I would say this is as close to his magnum opus as he's gotten, a culmination of all his work and experience, all polished and presented by talented developers. All to chase a madman's ambition.

I'm excited to see what his next project will be, now that he's had a chance to hone his craft thanks to how competent Platinum is over Cavia. I hope he keeps working with them, having someone being able to keep up with Taro's ambition allows for some really incredible things from that man, so here's hoping his next game is just as groundbreaking and successful!

Three primary forms of response from Taro dicksuckers in reaction to their favorite madman meme being criticized.

1. You don't get it! (no further explanation)
2. Alright, it's not deep, but when the anime character died I felt really sad.
3. It's cannot been expressed how full of depth his games are, as the way the games scenarios are presented in such a way that the viewer can take literally ANY interpretation from them, gaining an infinite amount of knowledge.

All expressed within this thread, joke of a fanbase.

You mean 13 years ago? Because that's when dicksucking for him was at a fever pitch. The man is addicted to attention and (you)'s, couldn't help himself and ruined his reputation with MGS4 and Peace Walker. People assumed MGS was dead after that.

After 3 years of fox engine absurdity, the only people who still worship him are trolls and retards.

I'd give it to Kojima overall.
I've only played DoD1 though, but Taro's other games don't interest me as much. It's really the tone of DoD1 that gets me, it's absolutely perfect and I haven't played many other games that have that strong of an atmosphere personally. I might pick up Automata at some point but I'm still undecided.

Because his games have the budget of a bad porno movie.

>>376622036

Initially, spite. He wanted to do a more traditional, if dark JRPG that was nowhere near as psychotic as it was, but he basically got told by Squeenix they wanted a Ikkitousen game to rival the Musou franchise, and basically sacked most of the project and told him to reuse what he can for it. So he did what he could with the little budget he had to make a frustrating, painful Dynasty Warriors clone with a grueling plot about terrible people with one of the least rewarding grinds of all time for essentially one of the most psychotic endings you could get from a video game. Instead of fueling himself by a passion for just making a game, he instead inspired himself by the memory of him laughing at the sight of his friend falling off a roof and dying. The spite was so palpable he kept Ending E under wraps until basically just before release.

Drakengard 2 was not made by Taro, so you don't see the same spite.

NieR was when Taro had a bit more control and a lot more trust thanks to being friends with one of the major producers of Dragon Quest, but he still couldn't help but feel fueled by that bizarre macabre attitude he manifested for Drakengard and made yet another attempt at that with a better budget. While still spiteful and painful, the skeleton of something truly enjoyable otherwise still existed, which really does represent him starting to lose his general anxiety and hate towards Squeenix.

Then Drakengard 3 came around and he was generally just sort of shoved into the spotlight again, tried to make a prequel, and was using tech beyond his understanding and it was just a mess. A hilariously written mess, but still a mess.

And now there's NieR: Automata where he's just doing it for the kicks.

Sad but true, However MGSV felt overall more polished, it has the better graphics and more satisfying combat for the main character.. I got pretty bored using the sword as 2b and a2 and 9s was just pure bordom. I wish nier automata could atleast spice up the sword combat with more combos.

Also the bosses is waaay to easy on normal and 2 easy to cheese on hard using the pod.

I wonder how nier automata would be with a AAA budget, you can tell they ran out of budget in route c with the reused enemies and bosses. as well as the 2010 tier graphics.

Except I never said it's the publisher's fault. Square Enix always follows trends, this aws at the time where Koei-Tecmo was making serious money off of Dynasty Warriors. Yoko Taro didn't want to have his shit be changed, so out of spite he made a shit game.

>>
>>376621305
My opinion always was
Kojima.
+Gameplay:
-Usually pretty good
-There's a good amount of freedom and variety,
just enough to save the games from
feeling repetitive, since the player can get creative about how to do every objective.
-While he's heavely inspired for movies on a lot
of things, his games feel like...well
games, even if he tells a story with the feeling of the movie, the feeling, that you are indeed, playing a game is almost ever present, my favorite examples would be things like the psychomantis fight and the codecs at the end of mgs2. Though the long custscenes in mgs4 kind of mess that up, that aside the rest of the game is ok.
-He manages to decently mix the gameplay and story most of the time.
-The ratio of quantity of time spended and story you get is pretty good except for V.
+Story
-Plot: It's ok fairly interesting but ultimately the characters are the most important thing at the end.
-Characters: They are great, and even though a good portion of the cast are clones, they really feel like different characters.
-Themes: Good up until mgs3, after that they didn't feel present and mgsV kind of ignored it's own themes for more drama.
-Story telling: Good and engaging, though references movies quite a lot, doesn't really interrupt the flow of the game up until mgs4.

Yoko
Since Drakengard and Nier are very different in story and gameplay I guess I will judge them separately.
+Gameplay:
1-Drakengard: Bad, sometimes it's actually fun......that's about it.
2-Nier: Mashes Action games and shmups together in a refreshing way, that being said it doesn't have a lot of depth or variety, it is pretty interesting however, but eventually gets tiresome, not too much replay value after you get every ending.
2.1-In automata there's a lot more of variety but it feels like the shmup part is less important and more easily ignored compared to the original Nier, while out of hacking mode or flight unit, it feels more like you play 2 separate kinds of games, which helps to not feeling burn out, but still doens't give it enough to save it from feeling repetitive.
+Story:
Drakengard: Fucking drink 5 bottles of vodka mixed with gasoline up your asshole while snifing on coke, busting a nut, smoking 5 rolls of weed and trying watch the video Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy, levels of crazy.
This give place too a lot of unexplained crap.
Nier: Mah Kokoro just brokoro.
Themes: Surprinsingly good and consistent for both.
Characters: Pretty good and interesting also for both.
Story telling: Good and engaging, though it uses a lot of scenes that seem like out of an anime, yes yes I know Kojima does the same with movies, but the difference imo is that Yoko uses it in big scenes and Kojima in smaler ones, the problem with Yoko is that it also feels out of place sometimes, like let's say in Drakengard 3 when Zero kills five for the first time.

On a side note this really looks like a case of "why would we fight when we can team up?" but being this 2 They would be fighting over creative control all the time.
>>
>>376648608
Platinum's character action has always been weak, but from playing their other games I can tell you, adding more combos doesn't help much because there's never a reason to use any one over any of the others. One universal problem is that the dodge move (or parry in the case of MGR) is always way, way too strong and anything can be canceled into it at any time. This eliminates any aspect of positioning or judging the right time to attack, just straight up ditching two of the sturdiest pillars of satisfying complexity in action games. The only way to make the games hard after doing this is to flood the screen with the enemies. Of course, then you have telegraphing issues, so all the enemies also have to have huge obvious telegraphs for every attack, and the difficulty is based on a balance between the number of enemies and how obvious their telegraphs are. The only real mistake you can make with this design is not noticing an enemy telegraphing, and the correct solution to all enemies and bosses and situations is to rush in and mash attacks and spam dodge whenever you see telegraphs.

>Implying they aren't the same person
>inb4 that bald guy holding Nier misdirection
The real Taro died in a car accident some time after Drakengard 1 (which explains him barely working on 2), and since then Kojima and some jap devs are continuing his work.

Just look at how there's a gap from 2008 (MGS4) and 2010 (Nier 1), with Kojima only working on Peace Walker, a game so basic he barely had to direct.

Just look at how Nier was a niche franchise with barely any support, and it got a sequel announcement out of fucking NOWHERE in E3 2015, the same year that he left Konami and was prolly picked up by Sony. Who do you think convinced Sony to make a sequel to a nichde-dead franchise? That's right, their golden boy.

>But anon
I hear you say
>Kojima's working on "Death Stranding"
PRECISELY, IT WAS ALL HANDED TO KAMIYA. That's why he pulled that sunt where he was using Taro's mask, making you think he WASN'T Taro the whole time and directed Automata. I mean, at the same time he was directing Scalebound, a game about what, you ask? KILLING PEOPLE WITH YOUR DRAGON COMPANION. THAT'S RIGHT. DRAKENGARD 4 IS COMING, THAT NIGGA'S JUST SETTING IT UP.

But what about Kojima? Is he done with the mantle of Yoko Taro now that Kamiya is taking his place?
I'd just like to remind you that next month Kojima's new game will be ully unveiled.
I'd just like to remind you that Taro's demise has never been officialized or made public.
And with everyone continuing Taro's work, it's like he never died. You could even say his Death is Stranded
>>

Kojima since he knows how to design actual games.
