I mentioned in a few replies to other comments too, but I'm friends with some people who know the guy personally. This vid barely scratched the surface of his whole deal. 1. He didn't even play the game. There was a prerelease ARG he was following, and he got mad and decided not to buy the game after some bad stuff happened to A-set in the ARG. All his info about the game came secondhand after he'd already decided he was going to hate it. 2. He has an alt Twitter where he roleplays as A-set's husband. Sometimes it's hard to tell if his tweets are entirely in character or if he's actually treating her like a real person. 3. He has a weird preoccupation with pedophilia and has made baseless accusations towards people in the AI discord server. 4. He _might_ be review bombing the game a second time. Well, someone is, and they claim to be a different person, but there's a lot of suspicious things about the new bomber's behavior and accounts. I genuinely believe the dude is mentally ill and needs help. And while I hate kicking someone while he's down, my sympathy for him is rapidly fading based on his probable involvement in the new review bomb + shit my friends have told me.

Ironically enough, Ota is a character who's parodied in the game, making dummy Twitter accounts so he can argue with himself and stir up controversy, and is obsessively attracted to A-Set. Also, it's weird that he thinks Ota didn't get a proper route. Ota got a really touching resolution with his mom, which was surprising to me because he was insufferable through most of the game. I bet someone like him thinks that a "proper route" for Ota is him hooking up with A-Set, which is just unnerving to think about.

Whereas the person who committed the crime would want to be updated on every detail involved and/or send the investigation down false trails.

Did you read the spoiler segment on his reasonings (SPOILERS obviously) He wrote "Takes Naixatloz, the proper antagonist of said videos. and tosses it aside by cruelly making them a hallucination caused by A-set having a brain tumor, with barely any foreshadowing. and even requires you to rip her fucking eye out yourself, as part of a bullshit "One of the Psync machines requires you to remove an eye!" plotline that other characters get to conveniently ignore, all part of a route that's specifically about her." All of this is so contrived first off the brain tumor is foreshadowed he just ignores all the time Iris gets dizzy and faints how she was suddenly told she needs to dance less etc. And where does he get the whole idea the prototype psync machine rules only applied to Iris???????? its the entire fucking reason Saito removed the left eyes in the first place this just show this guy didnt care to even try to understand the iris end because he didnt like the iris end had iris die thats it

[@matthewr6148]

@@gaymerjerry I don't see what your reply has to do with the original comment? None of that applies to Ota or his route. As for the whole spoiler thing itself... Most of that is based on a supposed inconsistency in the prototype psync machine's eye removal, which is just actually false...? The game goes out of its away, during the confrontation of Saito in Boss's body, that Saito always had to pull the eye out... and then put it back in. He didn't replace the victim's eye because he didn't give a shit, but he always replaced the eye for whichever body he swaps to. You even see that when he and Date finally swap back to their original bodies. Saito hates how Aiba looks, but puts her in anyways because even a bizarre yellow fake eye is "better than nothing" Oh, as for Naix, I think most people can agree that it's better than the alternative. From a purely in-game standpoint, you have an entire organization dedicated to trying to kidnap some girl... for learning about a secret plot from some conspiracy magazine she bought. Of fucking course that's not real. The general premise of Iris being mostly shafted in her own game, dying in her own route, is a valid and fair criticism, but nothing worth review bombing a game over, and it's drenched in bad takes that show how obsessed that guy really was over Iris, just by how he ignored obvious answers to a lot of his issues in favor of thinking about Iris exclusively.

That and it has users that are supported by the site that have brought campaigns to censor or ban games from Japan that they find problematic because of political ideology that is usually taken extremely out of context. They are also hugely hypocritical and have banned many people for not breaking terms of service, but just giving the "wrong" opinion.

i havent played any of these games & know nothing about them beyond "someone somewhere has a crush on A-Set," but that PK Gaming tweet about the parallels between Ota and Krvavi is one of the sickest burns I've ever seen in my entire life

The Dark Lord Chris Chan has finally found an Apprentice.

[@kevythekevlar]

Chris Chan: “soon I will have a new apprentice. one far younger and more powerful”

[@deathslice60]

He will have more cringe then either of us

Have you heard the tragedy of Darth Chris Chan the Cringe?

"Ota doesn't get a proper route". Ota has one of the most wholesome routes in the whole game. I was playing the Somnium in his route while holding back tears.

[@SiXiam]

I would say it isn't a proper route because it has no impact on the main plot of the game.

He thought it was more a Mayumi route than an Ota route since it focuses a lot on her. But Ota's relationship with his family is a big part of his character.
