Apparently this is a sequel what fuck went wrong?
>>389266848
>its yuri bait
>same story
>big tits and that's it
Gust is shit now
It's less explicit than the first game, which was already tame as it is but it was still romantic and focused on two girls. NoA2 has no kisses, no confessions, just skinship fanservice. The fact that it's not even focused on a pair anymore but dispersed on other undeveloped big tittied cardboard cutouts that aren't even romantic interests makes it even worse. It pains me to say this but Valkyrie Drive Bikkhuni at least paired off side girls with each other and gave us multiple OTPs. NoA2 just makes a shitty irrelevant cast that doesn't even go full yuri with anybody. It's basically like Neptunia which only has baiting and the waifus remain "pure" for the waifufags.
Unromantic, unfocused, bland and just overall fucking trash that completely missed the charm of the first game. Actually scratch that, it didn't just miss the charm of the first game, it retroactively ruins it by killing off Lilysse and giving Arnice another amnesia. After all that bullshit about her precious memories.
I would've preferred no sequel at all.

Three of beautiful girl Festival games flopped hard people are paying $60 for the same game as the first one they're still stuck in the motel and there still a time limits the protagonist for the first game is part of the harem
gamers want more yuri, guys, what should we do for the sequel?
>well, let's put tons of girls teasing the MC with only one bland love interest, let's not change the story because who gives a fuck, let's kill Lilysse so Arnice will be part of the harem and let's delay the game for 10 months so we can put even more uninteresting girls and not work on the gameplay
>genius!
It's a shame it wasn't better then the first. Oh well.
The yuri sluts are nice at least. Granted it's feint praise.
>>389268515
True my thoughts for the sequel were
> corruption and getting back to normal
> making demons and humans co-exist at fighting any threats to the existence
> fighting the night Lord
> getting the night Lords power stolen and trying to recover it
> the balance of the world upset and fighting the opposite of demons angels fairies beings.

Are there reviews out?
>>389269365
It's been for a few days in Nipland so yeah.
Of course there's Jap amzon reviews too and they're fucking trashing the game so far.
>>389269365
In Japan but there's no such thing as bad review but the rating for it is one point less 33 for the sequel 32

Well that sucks. Why is it so hard for a yuribait game to be good or at least an all girl cast game?
Fuck, the only hope I have is for the Girls und Panzer game because at least the focus will be on tank battles. But I fear it will only be nothing but a glorified movie tie in like most anime games.
Good NoAfags deserve it for defending the piece of shit that is the first game.
>>389270193
Thank you fuck how did gust drop the ball they that incompetent?
>>389270628
NoAfags exist? I thought everyone is in agreement that nu-Gust is utter shit and needs to finally die.
>>389269634
>amazon japan
Any real reviews? They shit on games for sometimes the most retarded reasons.
>>389270193
>It's too hard
>no checkpoint in missions
See
>>389266848
Is that a SJW game?
>>389270232
Anon you just said it
>all girl cast
>killing the magic of the first game
>anime tropes
I thought the gameplay actually looked like it added more depth compared to the first games personally.
What's everyone's beef with the sequel, just that the storytelling isn't that good?
>>389270193
>>389270903
>1* review
>because he got stuck in an npc once
Amazon is literrally the steam reviews of japan.
>>389270782
By fucking over the Ar Tonelico series.
Then again, Gust has always been a hit and miss company. The only game that I really enjoyed from them as a game is Mana Khemia but even that had problems. Atelier 1-3 were all bland shit and while Ar Tonelico had god tier music, the gameplay was fucking trash.
>>389271013
What's wrong with an all girl cast? Isnt that the point of yuri bait games/shows?
Also, anime tropes are a given. It's only how you execute it that matters.
>>389270628
The first game was good. But I agree about the sequel 100% Gust wanted to follow the same formula they always do for every game "sequel"
>>389270193
>amazon reviews
>amazon jp reviews specifically
They shit on every single game there no matter what. It's like reading /v/ with their complaints. I agree that there maybe good points out there too, but I see so many stupid reviews there that I wont even bother reading further.
>>389270193
>味方NPCをすり抜けることができないので
細い路地に入るたびに(特定の従魔を連れていなければ)Uターンできず進行不能になる。
>1 star review
Yeah, I think I'll avoid "reviews" there.
>>389271228
that only works to pander to /u/ most yuri works if subtext or not the main part of the story
>>389270903
Maybe there's some import reviews out there.I didn't look super hard though So I only seen like two
>>389271237
the gameplay of the first game was boring as fuck until you reach the last boss and post game. Then it actually got entertaining by being hard.
>>389271571
Go back /u/ faggot
>>389271635
Well I'm okay with that as long as they dont shove it down the player every damn time, because seriously fuck forced romance in games and even more so, fuck forced running gags/OTP teasing that has no part in the main plot.
>>389271753
He was complaining about being stuck on an NPC. Literally DSP tier complaint
The new girl looks fucking awful. Why replace Arnice? I'm having a blast with her in the musou game. If only the actual combat in NoA was this flashy.
>>389271787
Which is why the first game was good the sequel was pandering it but it did not anything with it just killed the OTP of the first so they could put her in the harem
>>389272078
All girls in NoA2 look nice. What are you smoking? She isnt Arnice tier, but still nice. If Gust got something right, its how good the girls look.
>>389272078
Fun fact original need a sequel was meant to be a standalone but it all people complain about Arnice not being protagonist theu delayed the game. And brought her back in the worst way possible making her fan service
>>389272597
The first is my favorite Gust game and there's NOTHING you can do about it
>>389272597
All am seeing is a RWBY ripoff character Pyrria and all the girls have bigger tits and making them look like cardboard cutouts
>>389270193
Oh no
>>389272815
True but mark my words third game we'll have a bunch of more girls we will go nowhere and lolis
>>389272815
I liked it too despite its flaws like simplistic combat. I hated how barren of NPC's and other chars the world was though. At least sequel will have more people around.
>>389272704
They pussied out and killed off Lilysse so they can make a bland Neptunia ripoff with ditzy and shallow yuribait fanservice with a bunch of characters instead of focusing on a romantic pair. They missed the mark.
>>389272597
I dont know but she just looks kinda bland.
White haired girls are better.
>>389273325
I'm not disagreeing with you. I just think the girls are nice.
>>389273317
Sorry to tell you about this but what the characters is there for Yuri and not there for endings
>>389273519
Your sequelfag well enjoy your 60 dollar game
How is the PC port of NoA?
>>389273150
Yeah I'm already worried about the second game to be honest. They didn't even really fix the combat.
Still I wish there was a single other Gust game that looked this cool while being actually yuri.
>>389273708
>Implying not gonna wait it out and get for like 20 bucks at a mom and pop place.
You must be crazy if you think I'm paying full price for this anon.
>>389273851
Blue Reflection looks nice at least. I don't care if its easy or "boring". I just want to look at pretty girls.
That said, Gust really needs to get in touch with someone who knows how to make fun gameplay.
>>389273773
It's good, and there's a mod for a more free camera
>>389274101
it helps that Blue Reflection has actual graphics
>>389273773
Bad because of the controls
>>389273519
>>389272704
>>389272597
>so much legs
>>389273872
> implying in a mom-and-pop shops would sell it lol
>>389274707
Literally plays just like on PS4, what are you smoking?
>>389274545
Blue reflection flopped less than 40k sales and boring as fuck
>>389274797
>>389274804
FUCKING GAMESTOP is also an option.
>>389267503
Gust has been shit for a while now.
>>389275059
They never made a truly good game let's be honest
>>389274889
Lol anon u did not play pc version he'll is even mention in tv tropes
>>389275109
True. Especially if you already know about them since their PS2 games. They were always mediocre devs that got lucky with the Arland Trilogy thanks to Mel Kishida
>>389275017
>shopping at game stop
wow
>>389275109
If they actually spent money on gameplay and graphics doing direct sequel's but look what happen Blue R eflection
>>389275146
>lol
>u
>tv tropes
>never played NoA but Arnice is cute in Warriors All-Stars
>gushes about Lilysse all the time
>just wants to protect that smile
The sequel ruins that? Why can't we have nice things?
>>389275642
I think they made NoA's worst ending cannon
>>389275453
They forgot to make the game actually engaging. Look at all the AAA western games that try to push graphics but flop really hard.
>>389271059
Is the same story as the first one does that and more characters Gameplay was tweet but you're still stuck in the hotel and time limiter
I want to impregnate Arnice
>>389275642
>>389276052
>>389276090
>Is the same story
Why the fuck is this allowed?
So what, nu-MC become the nightlord as well?
>killing off Lilysse
I feel cold. I need hugs. Many, many warm hugs.
>>389276132
Sorry Arnice not hetfaq she would rip off your micro penis
>>389276347
Sounds fun
>>389276347
>not hetfag
>still a bro anyway as long you don't hit on her or her waifu
Why is she so best
>>389276270
Other than hat no she does not become night lord she beats bride of the moon who is a replacement if the nightlord
>>389276856
Anything about the fucking cat?
>>389266848
>sequel
I ignored it when I saw it was a different MC but I'm curious, what happen to Arnice?
>>389277146
she becomes part of the harem of the new MC.
Kinda like when Mir became the harem of Croix in Ar Tonelico 2.
>>389277146
If you stopped ignoring it you'd know.
>>389267671
Please no, this can't be true
I kinda wanna try the first one but shame that the sequel is shit.
