The Hyperdimension Neptunia fandom - Which videogame console is your waifu: Autism Edition

[Hui]

Yeah, whatever your opinions on the series may be, it has become a baptism of autism much like Undertale or My Little Pony. If they're worried Chris' exceptionalism will increase negative scrutiny on the fandom, two things.

1) No shit. Chris ruins whatever pool he steps in.
2) It's not like he's the only one ruining it for everyone else.

Introduce Chris to Nier.

It is a jrpg/vn. It isn't the greatest thing ever but it is decent and can be fun for other jrpg ppl. Mr. Autism Ship Waifu simulator
avatar chan. <3

it's mrs autism ship waifu simulator to you, I am getting gay married to my boat.

 

[Krieger]

Introduce Chris to Nier.

The concept of him finding Nier is hilarious enough to try, though if he already discovered Neptunia, he's already down the rabbit hole towards dat android ass methinks.

I hope you all have a strong gag reflex, cause it's time for MORE of the man, the myth, the sick fuck u/iwannafuckrom:

I don't even know if Neptunia is a good GAME. Alls I ever read when it comes to reviews is waifu shit. Does anyone ever talk about the game?

Of course not, it's just Touhou with a smaller fanbase. It's got a cult around it but ultimately the source material is a shitty game nobody's even played.
Same for MLP except nobody watches the show. You get the picture.

Some people do talk about the games, but most of the time, it's shitposting, memes, or waifu circlejerking.

As a game/series? Eh. As waifu material? Holy fuck.

There's a lot of people who have Neptunia characters as waifus. One of my friends has Neptune herself as a waifu.

So I found this letter to a member of this fandom from the devs. This may be the most pathetic thing I've ever seen

Oh boy, I remember when this happened. 4chan exploded, and it was referenced in VII.

 

[MarvinTheParanoidAndroid]

For those not aware, Hyperdimension Neptunia is a series by Idea Factory and Compile Heart where the console wars are represented by a fantasy world where the consoles are Console Patron Units (CPUs) over the nations

This sounds retarded.

Neptunia games range from mediocre to terrible. In general they aren't very good. The gameplay is boring, repetitive, lazily made, and could put Greenpeace to shame with how much they recycle assets. Anyone who likes it is in it for the waifus and/or the memes, because it's a shitty series otherwise. The absolute worst it has to offer are spinoffs like this. It's a worthless visual novel masquerading as a game and even Neptunia autists refuse to play it.

 

[Billy_Sama]

A shining example why I can't enjoy JRPGs anymore when the characters are all jailbait.

I had a discussion with @BOLDYSPICY! about this series earlier, specifically because of Chris' descent into madness.

By and large, it's a funny weeb series with gay robots, fucking amazing writing, and is generally a fun and stupid game series that doesn't take itself or anything else particularly seriously. It's the sort of bouncing anarchic romp that is a gigantic roast of both itself and video games and anime in general. The big selling point is the humor and writing; the games are usually pretty average at best. Some are purportedly pretty awful, but the one I played seemed generally all-right. Certainly not JPATG fare.

But the fandom... Good god the fandom, Kiwis.

Undertale's fandom and Steven Universe are slightly less disturbing than Neptunia's. Because while Neptunia's fanbase is, on balance, less Autistic than Undertale or SU, it has a fucking constant presence of fucking pedos because a few of the characters are basically underaged. While this is something every Fandom has, it's rarely as up-front or obnoxious as Neptunia's. Boil everything down and Neptunia's fandom winds up worse than either.

Fucking annoying, too, because the series, by all accounts, is fucking hilarious and I'd like nothing further to do with it based on the Autism of its fanbase alone.

I concur. The games are great writing wise, but it is always best to avoid the fandom.

Honestly i like the games, they aren’t amazing but don’t take themselves too seriously and are fun. Not all fans of the games are people who fap to the characters. This is like saying well since DSP likes Street Fighter all Street Fighter fans are aweful lol

it's the only popular series i can think of that reuses levels, art, and enemies over several games
you really have to be obsessed with these characters to play essentially the same game + or - a game mechanic over and over just for more writing

There's like a dozen franchises I've seen re-use assets and get away with it nowadays. Neptunia's just the most obvious weeb game doing it.
