adadw

It's not a classic, stop overrating it. You're killing gaming.

Astro Bot > DK Bananza

Tendies dislike it because it reminds them of better times (Mario Galaxy). This game brutally mogs Nutendo 3D platformers like Odyssey and Bananza.

>>717986767
I actually agree with that.

>>717986343 (OP)
Post gameplay so I can judge.

>>717986343 (OP)
fuck this skinwalker taking from better, older playstation games

Outside of some very mentally ill console warriors, does Astrobot actually get threads or discussion on /v/?

>>717986973
There isn't a lot to say about it. It's got no plot and only one real character.

It's a completely gameplay-driven experience. About the best you can have for conversation is which was your favorite level.

I really should stick my dick in that robot, however.... uh wait, what?

>>717987110
you wouldn't, would you?

>>717986871
On this note I'd like to see a picture of 2B doing something with her bot.

The game was great, but it was kind of awkward how hard it was jerking off a Sony that no longer exists. It's like if North Korea pushed out a game that was just propaganda for the country but was somehow also incredibly fun to play.

>>717987867
So...Pyeongyang Racer.

>be nothing more than just a generic kiddy platformer that does nothing extraordinary
>filled with product placement for snoy shit
>snoys cream themselves hard and overhype the shit out of it because this was the first time in over a decade they had experience with something resembling a videogame without any faggot pandering or political soapboxing
I'd rather play Pizza Tower or Yellow Taxi.

>>717988015
You didn't play it

>I-I'm a retard who got called out by you and this is my concession post!

I got a ps5 to buy second hand games, but when did this market become so greedy? I still can't find astro bot at a good price, everyone wants like 45$+. Fuck you, I'm not paying for 75% of your experience. I remember when you could get games for 10 to 20 months after their release.
It's the same story for the silent hill 2 remake.

>>717987079
That’s exactly it, Astro Bot’s charm is in its simplicity. No convoluted cutscenes or overexposed lore, just tight-ass level design and creativity cranked to 11. Every stage’s basically a playable toybox, and it never overstays its welcome. It’s like if Nintendo had a Red Bull and remembered how to have fun again. You don’t discuss Astro Bot’s “themes”-you argue whether the PS1-era beach level or the gravity-flipping space one made you grin harder.

>instantly becomes a classic
Barely anybody bought it, so it can't be a classic. A cult classic in 10 years, maybe.
Which is a shame, really. Why didn't more people purchase it? It's a decently good game.

I don’t care what anyone says, I love it

Mogged by Bananza

>>717992742
I honestly just find Mario himself to be really fucking lame. It doesn't help that Nintendo's gone full Disney in "protecting the image" and avoided showing as much character as possible to avoid offending anybody.

The game itself is mediocre and does nothing new or interesting
the real problem is that it just flaunts old sony IPs that haven't had a game in decades, like dangling keys in front of a toddler
>LOOK LOOK 'MEMBER THIS GAME? 'MEMBER THIS GAME? LOOK AT ALL THESE DEAD FRANCHISES THAT SONY IS NEVER GOING TO DO ANYTHING WITH ISN'T THAT LE EPICSAUCE?

>>717987757
like what?

>>717993928
I dunno, just something like this.

>>717986343 (OP)
I still haven't seen a single level from this game
Just confetti going everywhere

A classic Sony flop.

>>717986343 (OP)
It's not necessarily a bad game, but it is a soulless one that tries to forcefully pretend it isn't and is also way too easy like all of modern Nintendo's games.

>>717996321
If this game is soulless then it's impossible to make anything with soul now.

>that instantly becomes a classic
Source? Nobody bought it so nobody played it.

>>717986793
That's because you're a Snoytranny.

>>717996321
it legitimately exudes soul
>>717994264

>>717996358
Not true at all. If this game had any faith in itself it wouldn't be a glorified advertisement banking on nostalgia for old franchises that they don't make anymore. It is not hard to make a game that isn't forced soul or anti-soul like this, it's about using that creativity without any cynical gimmicks to prop it up like this game does.

>>717986343 (OP)
Nintenfriend here. Looks like a very fun game even if it takes a lot from Mario.

I just think Snoy fucked themselves up by educating and narrowing down their public to buy mostly sports games, GTA and the occasional story heavy game. So of course it didn't do great numbers.

>>717996358
Astro is a marketing tool and nothing more. If you can't see that then you're a victim of corporate propaganda.

It doesn't matter how much they pad it out with, they can't hide what the intent of Astro is as a character.

>>717996592
Maybe the premise was dictated to Team Asobi by Sony but the actual creative output of the game seems pretty unfettered.

As good as the good might be, it only got elevated by TGAs to dunk on China.
So now I hate it on principle, not because I support China but because I believe in open fair video game awards without political influences.

>>717995008
The entirety of Japan taped out of Sony because they're complete brand loyal retards who vote with their wallet when they feel a slight at them. But they're TOTALLY fine with pokemon fucking up time and time again, and Nintendo stagnating into lawsuit tyrants

[Citation needed]

>>717996628
Agreed

I like how many of the levels are linear but almost feel like mini sandbox levels

>>717991789
>creativity cranked to 11
>90% of mechanics, general aesthetics and levels design are lifted straight out various nintendo games
the pajeet viral marketing for this game here has been the most pathetic part of the constant snoy humiliation ritual of these past 5 years, even tlou2 wasn't that sad

and all that effort for what? 2 million copies sold lmao

>be nothing more than an above-average mascot platformer that does nothing new
>Sonyfags treat it like it's the second coming of Christ and only bring it up when trying to shitpost about Nintendo

penny's big breakaway was a better 3D platformer and I'm 100% serious about it

>>718000838
I like that game’s movement

>>717986343 (OP)
only snoys remember this game

forcing too hard lmao

>>717987079
You say that but even the director said Astro Bot has no identity.

>>717995008
kek

>>718002049
>the only threads that ever seem to show up at all are ones acting sour over how much acclaim the game got

If anything it's everyone else who feels aggrieved by Astro Bot.

>ever heard of false-flagging

How is it false-flagging if no one ever tries to argue anything positive for the game?

>>718001772
yeah it's brilliant and the combo system is a simple addition but it makes a lot of sense for this kind of game, expressive platformers are really a lot like dmc/bayo style action games in that the fun comes from the depth of the movement system and the kind of combos you can do

>>717989785
Not enough physical copies sold so they probably didn’t print more.

>>718002346
the only threads about it are from butt devastated snoys using it to bait tendies, which is really all you need to know about the game's status as a "classic"

>>718000838
if you had said pseudoregalia i'd have respected you. astro is better than penny.

>barely sold on the ps5, isn't selling anymore due to weak legs
>corporate ad for sony products
Why haven't they ported it to the Switch 2 yet? It'd be killing two birds with one stone. They'd get more sales out of it (it would probably sell better on the Switch where there's more platformer fans, and they would also get to advertise their franchises).

>>717986343 (OP)
Tendies aren't people.

>>718003330
why would I want to be respected by a furry

not just a furry, a snoy furry, what a miserable life form

>>717986343 (OP)
Astro's Playroom is short and sweet
Astro Bot insists upon itself

>>718005319
i'm not even a furry, pseudoregalia is that good. it's on a nintendo console so you haven't played it i guess, what a sad life.

>>718005975
>it's on a nintendo console
it's not on a nintendo console*. a sad mistake on my part.

>>717986343 (OP)
Complete nostalgia bait “hey I le remember that!” With no story or any revolutionary gameplay. Would be a 7/10 if reviewers weren’t bought and paid for.

>>717997227
not sony
