Level 11

[abravelikehero]

(Phone)I'm stating to look forward to the rewards. It's as if each horrible thing is the boss of the level and after we succeed completing it we get the bonuses and items! It's a little unfair it's just our own stuff returned, but it's still nice. I really didn't know how much I missed my clothes until now. I'm never going to take them off! It

Action

[falleng0d]

Keima is on a walk. It's the first day after awhile he's been able to shake away the heebie jeebies of the killer game. Despite his claim to be a video game god he doesn't mind the sun, and without a PFP to demand his attention the warm weather feels nice from the drab air inside his cooped up house. He sees Almaz and doesn't make much note of it until he sees the trademark scarf.

"Tch. What are you trying to be, some hero?"

[falleng0d]

"Then I question the intent of your developers and the script quality. Making fun of yourself so blatantly and building a game with these principles is so the eighties."

[abravelikehero]

"Hey it makes the niche market happy."

[falleng0d]

"Niche doesn't have to mean poor quality."

Keima 'hmmphs' and crosses his arms.

[abravelikehero]

"Hey hey! That's crossing the line. Production values are pretty good."

[falleng0d]

"Usually they are. Some stand apart from the others, but if it's a sequel it's popular to use the success from the first game to propel sales for the other games. It happens all the time."

[abravelikehero]

He freezes, sequels just ride? What about a third game down? Was... was he really nothing in the scheme of things? And considering a next gen system with low res sprites....

"I-I see... so the further down in a series the lazier they get?"

[falleng0d]

"Laziness, maybe. It's more of a money issue. I'm sure the game can be good but if there's nothing new in gameplay to show forth after sequel after sequel, it's best to go in an entirely new direction." Keima shrugs.

[abravelikehero]

"Oh there's a whole lot of new gameplay, it's all about gameplay after all. Not to mention the first of a new system."

[falleng0d]

"That's a dangerous pitfall. Are there extras with this game? If it's going to be the same gameplay on a new updated graphics system, then there should be extras."

[abravelikehero]

"There's a lot of DLC and a new system? A true guarantee to potentially last forever!"

[falleng0d]

"Not even a dakimakura? Tch." Keima clicks his tongue.

[abravelikehero]

"Not that sort of game. Um, what about 2 CDs and an info book?"

[falleng0d]

"Those are a pittance of extras. Is the info book at least hardcovered? How many pages? No model busts of a popular character? No plushies of a character mascot?"

[abravelikehero]

"All that stuff exists but not bundled with the game."

[falleng0d]

"So merch sales drive business. Hmm. Very well. There may be hope for you, despite your game franchise. What are your special abilities?"
