Awesome article.

I would add, idiot townsfolks to the list. They are annoying as hell and are present in most RPGs

an article which is not about ps3 or xbox 360 exclusives?

"Ever wondered why the main character of a game who eats monsters like Dragons or Elite Soldiers for breakfast, has amazing super human abilities to boot and can kill a Giant with his bare hands, dies instantly if he falls into a river or heck even a sewer for that matter? So have we."

I literally loled at that. Excellent and a humor filled article. The best read on n4g for sometime!

Same here, I was thinking about this while playing the original Mercenaries the other day.

Those guys will call in airstrikes and destroy entire buildings, grapple onto helicopters and throw the pilot out, hijack tanks while taking fire...but swimming is a big no-no!

its wasnt part of his contract

UnwanteDreamz4845d ago

I am reminded of Cole from Infamous. Dude could climb anything like he was sticky but a chain link fence would stop him everytime.

Or God of War 3, Kratos could fall from Olympus and survive but fall from a little ledge and you are dead.

King-Leonidas4845d ago

@zootang wtf you talking about? right before kratos falls he´s saved by athena

SoSLy4845d ago

reminded me of Halo 3 lol, Master chief saving humanity but died in a puddle. Damn you BUNGIE!!

ElementX4845d ago

What about sexual innuendo and women with large breasts?

UnwanteDreamz4845d ago

Women with large breasts that have water balloon physics.

Neckbear4845d ago

Yoko Taro Passes Respect; Says Stellar Blade Is "Much Better" Than Nier: Automata

Stellar Blade's creative director, Hyung Tae Kim, has also claimed that the game is deeply inspired by Nier: Automata.

shadowhaxor7h ago

I feel like Yoko is downgrading Automata because he has expressed multiple times he'd like to revisit the universe, but Squenix hasn't been keen about it. We know he loves 2B and would love to take her out for another spin, so maybe this is how he gets the company to think about it.

gold_drake5h ago

u do realise that Square made Nier a franchise after Automata right?

Taro is downplaying it cause hes not a snob like most of the directors that think their games are gods gifts to the human race.

he said the same thing when being interviewed during the development of Automata too, that he couldnt have done it without the devs.

hes just a humble guy rly.

shadowhaxor5h ago

I mean, Neir existed before Automata with both OG Niers and Drakenguard. I don't count NieR Replicant, since it's a remake of the OG games. Sure, we have Reincarnation, which is still stuck on mobile devices (quite a damned shame). I just remember Taro saying he'd love to revisit Automata if Square Enix lets him. I do recall there was supposed to be a sequel to Automata, but it wasn't confirmed and I'd imagine it was just for Reincarnation.

Enjoy Taro, he seems like a cool guy, who loves the ladies and is humble. But damn, don't put down one of your masterpieces.

I really liked Automata and cannot wait for Stellar Blade

I get he's giving them some credit, but i strongly disagree based on the demo. I honestly don't think any aspect of it feels good, it's not bad, it's just kinda ok but definitely a little jank. Also the souls like formula it is adopting does not help it imo. I was looking forward to this for years, now im just kinda let down honestly 🫤

Man exputer can you stop putting words like that after someone's name, i read Yoko Taro Passes and just went blank

Same... Awful way to word that title's beginning.

Thats because Sony had a heavy hand in funding and developing this game.
