Bumping just in case.

hi nepgen, what took you so long?

>>1469 I've been around since 4Chan went down, and some others have joined me, just not on this site since I've had bad experiences with /v/'s moderation and because trashchan has an entire board for us. So we're there now, or at least I'd like us to be.

>>1475 >just not on this site which site was that? ive been into atleast 4 altchan i didnt see nepgen

>>1476 Did you miss the link in the OP? It's a sister of ZZZChan that's part of a webring with it.

>>1477 >Did you miss the link in the OP yeah i did miss it because of the vg color scheme thanks op >trashchan yeah i didnt know about this altchan

I love Red Riding Hood

I love my wife Neptune!

I love Blanc. But I'm gonna put my two cents in and say I prefer the other website with the whole board.

im staying here instead of double posting in trashchan. since this place is pretty good. i hope the another nepgen finds us. we probably should have a backup plan for nepgen but we never got into planning for it

>>1404 rom thread rom life

>>1760 Ram > Rom

>>1614 No seriously, what is your issue with the /nep/ board? How can you think this thread in a corner of 8chan moe is better than an ENTIRE BOARD for ourselves? I wish you'd use the other site's board, but I suppose I can't force you to. Guess I'll just have to doublepost here for a while. What's one more tab to keep open anyway?

blanc 18+ slg game when?

I didn't play the nepcycle game because it looked kind of boring. How was it?

>>2172 Didn't play it either, but from what I could tell, it's just the motcorcyle minigame from Game;Maker repackaged with some bells and whistles and sold as a full game. It's basically made to sell to Uzumefags who have been demanding her return after VII. So unless you're a hardcore Uzumefag who needs more of her, it's probably best to skip it.

>>2184 That hurts for me because I am one of those Uzumefags and she deserves way better.

We never got a full-on FPS/TPS have we? I know about the Space Harrier game, but no other shooters, right?

>>2185 I feel you, because I started with VII and Uzume is up there with my favorite characters. And she absolutely deserves better than this zero-effort spinoff, that's basically just the dredges of Big Nep's game. Speaking of, there seems to be a concerted effort to shill Big Nep lately. They gave her a whole game and now she's being pushed in merch and marketing as well. She was always inferior and less popular than her more familiar goddess counterpart, so why this sudden push to spotlight her?

>>2192 my guess: regular nep and nepgear are 'too loli'

>>2194 That's what the doomfag part of me tells me, but I don't want to believe it. How could a company like Compile Heart be so thoroughly compromised that they would try to throw their mascot and most popular character under the bus? They'll never have the normgroid audience. The lolicons and moe lovers are the only people who still care about them. Who would such a move benefit?

>>2192 This is official art?

>>2201 Yes. So is this.

>>2194 >>2199 Big Nep, or Worst Nep as I like to call her, happens to be pretty popular among westerners. You know the type. The redditor that only knows the franchise from osmosis, doesn't actually play the games, and gets super uncomfortable around loli. I think CH was experimenting with trying to cater to those people, and it's honestly brought the franchise to some of its lowest lows. Big Nep merch shelfwarms really hard. I got her faux goddess form figure on a deep discount from AmiAmi, and the only reason I even bothered was because it came with Top Nep on a physical disc. Needless to say, I don't think the Worst Nep shilling is working and we'll see Best Nep take center stage in the next mainline title. Because SVS sure as hell showed candidates won't sell, either.

>>2189 Virtual Stars (never played it myself desu) >>2192 >Speaking of, there seems to be a concerted effort to shill Big Nep lately. Sure feels like it! Maybe they think that she's too loli to be marketable or maybe they genuinely don't want to do more "serious" stories with her and basically see her as only comic relief (even though most of the emotional moments on the franchise see her right there in the middle of the action). Personally, even if I love smol Nep I can't bring myself to either love nor hate big Nep.

>>2248 If that's true, well thank God that venture is failing. It's not a good sign if Compile Heart even considered catering to such types at all. They literally despise everything Compile Heart was built on and stands for. >>2250 >Maybe they think that she's too loli to be marketable Absolutely ridiculous to think this of the girl that has been single-handedly carrying the series on her back for a decade and a half now. If anything, they should take it as an indication that their fans are either lolicons themselves or at least okay with it. >lolibooru Seems to be gone. Was it ever revealed what happened to it?

>>2248 >Big Nep, or Worst Nep as I like to call her moar like a big mistake >Because SVS sure as hell showed candidates won't sell i think its more have to do with franchise fatigue and spinoff hell. personally i really like SVS (admittedly im biased toward anri and maho)

>>2250 >Maybe they think that she's too loli to be marketable Definitely not in Japan since she has her own little emblem that shows off her face before every Neptunia trailer. >>2264 >i think its more have to do with franchise fatigue and spinoff hell. Besides Nepgear, the candidates consistently poll relatively low. Uni barely breaks into the top 10 and polls beneath Plutia who hasn't been seen in years. And Uni is shill club just for being Noire's sister. The twins are even worse off. All of them share the same problem: Their personalities are lacking. Nepgear can't carry a scene let alone a game, which is why I always struggle to replay VII, the Zerodimension arc becomes a slog the moment the story focuses back on Nepgear and Uzume without Neptune in the party. >personally i really like SVS (admittedly im biased toward anri and maho) Anri and Maho carry the emotional side of the story really hard, so it's easy to see why you like them. Anri looks like a palette swapped Blanc so I can't help but like her, too.

>>2256 >they should take it as an indication that their fans are either lolicons themselves or at least okay with it. Being fair Purple Heart isn't a loli, and in marketing 3/4 goddesses aren't. Not that I can make it make sense, because in that case you'd think they'd start shilling Black/Green Heart and their sacks of flesh. Plus... Honestly I think Tsunako is a lolicon herself and either way we've had fanservice scenes with both so I do think it's more of a lolicon series than not. >Was it ever revealed what happened to it? Dunno, not even sure how I ended up searching for pics of my wife there. >>2264 >i really like SVS (admittedly im biased toward anri and maho) The first half is really good but the second half is just tiring. I really like Maho and Anri is pretty cool too but the time traveling failed timeline stuff is just confusing and weird.

>>2473 I think they (maybe rightfully) have a grudge against poor Green Heart because of how awful Xbox as a company has treated them over the years and they don't want to seem like Vert is legitimate instead of a gag character of a company they hate.

>>2559 I don't know, they've been getting rather cozy with Xbox lately. They even gave Game;Maker to them as an exclusive on PC. And funnily enough, of the four major companies, Xbox/Microsoft is the only one that hasn't censored one or more of their games yet. But I have little doubt that given enough time, they will. Xbox hates anime games just as much as the others, if not more.

Hello Nepgear is my favorite. She's a responsible good girl and a cute DORK NERD

>>2663 Are you the Gearfag from /nepgen/?

>>2692 No, I don't usually hang out on /vg/. I just figured I'd explore around and I saw this thread. Nepgear really is my favorite, though.

>>2602 >Xbox/Microsoft is the only one that hasn't censored one or more of their games yet. You know full well that's because there's nothing TO censor in any of the games released on Xbox. Xbox has content policies just as bad or worse.

>>2717 >there's nothing TO censor If they want to fuck with you, they'll find something. I'll remind you about Neptunia Riders, which is so tame it's first game in the franchise to get an E10 rating from the ESRB, and yet Nintendo STILL found something to take issue with. Like I said, it's only a matter of time. Just a few days ago, Steam-Heart's and Advanced Variable Geo had their Xbox releases canceled because of Microdick demanding a ridiculous amount of alterations. And those are already censored releases.

>>2728 >Steam-Heart's and Advanced Variable Geo had their Xbox releases canceled because of Microdick demanding a ridiculous amount of alterations. And those are already censored releases. What the FUCK? I didn't even hear about that shit. That should be front page news.

>>2740 There's already threads on other boards about Nintendo's censorship. And I'm pretty sure everyone's familiar with Soyny by now. Xbox doesn't get much coverage when they do this probably because they aren't very relevant for niche Japanese games. The only relatively high-profile Japanese game they hit was Gal*Gun Returns in 2020/1, which this case is basically a retread of. In fact, all the way back in 2011, they censored the first, orignal Gal*Gun game (which Returns is a remake of) on 360 via post-launch patch, which drove Inti Creates to Playstation for the sequel. So they've arguably been doing this longer than anyone else.
