Why the fuck does he not just direct anime or write books instead

>>379173251
But I thought automata was supposed to be good?

Because the stories would be awful in animes or books.

>>379173251
He does write books.

He never writes anime because the medium panders exclusively to horny teenagers and manchildren

>>379173251
more people are willing to infest 20 hours on a vidya than they are on a book or anime

Because people of lower intellect are more likely to put up with a mediocre story when it's embedded in a video game. They get to press buttons, so they are happy.

This

>>379173251
Because no one would fund his work. That's why he keeps getting shitty games made he has friends in SE

Automata won't work in any other medium.
If you want the same rogue element as Yoko Taro, but from anime industry, try Masaaki Yuasa.

>>379173251
Nobody reads books anymore. Literature has been dead since the 60s

>>379173645
This, although Taro does also write books, his stories for video games work best in video game format.

>>379173251
he made a manga and did write several stories

>>379173921
His supplemental materials are merely supplemental materials that expand the universe or backstories, nothing more. Automata Concert was probably his best performance outside of games as it allowed him to troll auditory once more.

>>379173251
No, he should stick to making games. This dude has no conception of how to compose a believable story universe, and has to date created the singular most nonsensical lore in any popular game. I mean who the fuck has to invoke multiple divine interventions, time travel, parallel universes, unexplainable plagues, alien invasions, and just-becauses to create some background lore?

For the same reason as Kojima. Their pretentious shitty stories full of highschool philosophy, tits, and DUDE 4TH WALL bullshit would be laughed at in every other medium, but videogame players are plebian enough to consume it and say thank you.

people that read books have standards
people that play games don't

t. smart guy

Sure is summer

>>379173251
Some things just don't work in book or anime form. Same with Kojima, people always dude just make a movie, but it just wouldn't work without you actually taking part in it and controlling it and all those weird momoents and codec calls etc.

Akira Toriyama
Hideo Kojima
Hidetaka Miyazaki
Tetsuya Nomura

fucking japs

>>379173251
>direct anime

So.. move up from shit to even more shit?

>>379174130
Most of that shit happened in the actual games though.

he does both

You summed up most of the Japanese game industry right now. Waifu Mills in Mobage, panty quests with the odd harvest of good games

It is. You can tell by all the mad contrarians.

I want to try this guys games. Where should I start? I have a ps4, ps3, ps2, ps1 and a 360

>>379176070
You can play Nier:Gestalt (first in the Nier series) that's on PS3/ xbox 360. If you wanna play Drakengard, you can do that too. order doesn't really matter, Drakengard 3 is on PS3 , Drakengard 1 is on PS2. Drakengard 2 is on PS2 but Yoko Taro wasn't really involved in it and the lore doesn't tie in (much)

>>379177439
Cheers I'll try out nier first I think. I'll get around to it sometime

>>379173645
>Masaaki Yuasa.

>glance at wikipedia page
>oh yeah, I loved Mind Game, Kaiba, and Tatami Galaxy. wait, what's this at the bottom?
>Devilman crybaby (2018)
What the fuck?

>>379173251

t. Someone who didn't play either Nier

The games don't work if they're not games. Particularly Nier.

>>379173251
Anime is a niche medium that doesn't make a lot of money. 80% of anime are just commercials for the source material. There's no reason he would work in that field.

That being said, a Nier or Automata anime would be pretty cool

>>379174130

>Unexplainable

>>379178678
I honestly can't even imagine what he will do with it.
It's like giving Taro some absolutely unrelated franchise under his full control.

>>379174130
>most nonsensical lore in any popular game

That would without a doubt be KH. People actually underrate how retarded that game's story and lore is

>>379179048
>KH lore
I can't wait for the next prequel to the prequel that ends up actually being a sequel!

>>379173251
He has written novellas and manga inbetween games.
