Yoko Taro, the game director of NieR:Automata, expressed a particularly deep thought on killing in video games and what that says about humans as a whole.
NieR: Automata has received a surprise update, version 1.07, on the PS4, which appears to have resolved a major bug that has long troubled the game.
thats interesting so many years later. never encountered any crashes in my multiple playthroughs but great nonetheless for those affected.
That's excellent news that crashing happened to me at least 50 times while playing the game a few months ago before playing Stellar Blade almost a game ending bug for some people because you have to pass that area to beat the game and it just kept happening
"Thanks a lot for everything, truly".
For me, these Mario + Rabbids games were the best thing Ubisoft has developed in recent years. I'd hate to see Ubisoft drive the series into the ground like their other properties, so I think 2 games are enough. Maybe 1 more.
Great games, I have wanted Sony to copy these games with their own mascots for years.
I think Nintendo has to hire this guy, I mean the fact that miuamoto himself said to him that he is impressed with this work, speaks volumes. Th possibility on having Mario on Soliani's hand could be incredible and quite possibly a new era for Mario games.
Cultured Vultures: We’re going through the Nintendo Gamecube back catalog to find the games most deserving of a remake.
This guy always has some interesting insights.
Speak for yourself. I don't play super violent games, because I don't enjoy the violence. Moreover, even if you do enjoy violent videogames, that doesn't mean that you'll enjoy real violence. They're two very different experiences, no matter how similar they appear. Yoko Taro himself should know this given that he makes videogames. Exaggerated and ridiculous sound effects and visual effects - you don't get these things in real life. Killing is brutal and traumatic for all involved (especially the victim) unless you're a psychopath. It's far from fun, unlike how it is often portrayed in entertainment. To be honest, the fact that he's saying this sort of betrays his own confusion about the difference between entertainment and reality. That's worrying, because he's a grown-ass man. People like him need to stay grounded in reality and not let entertainment inform them about it.
He’s had this message since the first Drakengard
While I enjoy his work, I completely disagree with this sentiment.
We still carry a lot from our primal age, we like to identify an enemy, kill it and rejoice on our survival and protection of our own
If there's no enemy to be found, we'll create'em
