hey /jp/

http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=496515

this is a project im working on, and the protagonist, Mike "Trey" Stevens, is an Otaku

problem is, i dont know so much about the otaku culture in general, so can you guys please read through and tell me if its accurate or not?

thank you

ps. i also added an otaku radio station: kawaii radio 90.7

This is either going to be very, very bad or very, very funny.

the reason why the protagonist is an otaku is for many reasons:
1. he is frowned upon by many people (funny, given that his friend is a model train nerd & his other friend is obsessed with the edmund fitzgerald)
2. it is unique & something you dont see everyday
3. it makes the protagonist more realistic, given that he has a pastime/hobby


and for the radio station, its mostly eurobeat

Initial D OST, I guess?

>>8736372
Well I just read the character bio and I don't get in what way his hobbies go together. So he's taciturn and owns clubs and has promiscuous sex, but he also likes anime and games? How do those two things go together at all?

look at his past girlfriends. theyre kinda nuts...

>>8736379
the only song from initial d (to my knowledge) it "running in the 90s", which is kinda a popular universal image of eurobeat (to the people i know), similar to how people think of gangbanging when they hear rap-my friends think of drifting when they hear eurobeat

plus, trey's car is an in-game version of a modified AE68, just like in initial d-pic related

lets look into trey (pic related-its trey)'s mind

"that car looks sporty. plus, its a bmw. bmws arent japanese. no, i want a shitty japanese compact car just like in 'initial d' that i can modify with bodykits to make it even slower than it is designed to be"

I agree, but it might be fun. No offense OP but you sort of strike me as the person who likes writing lore but fails at implementing it. Though I would be happy to be proven wrong.

Your kawaii radio should have more songs from Iditial D then. One isn't enough at all.
Don't forget to add some Touhou eurobeat like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bO1RYOfaV0

sure, ill look into your request. i just dont want every single song to be from initial d, ya know?

>> No.8736443

Here is a better idea. Scrap the whole Otaku thing and make a decent Yakuza simulator or something. I am not being a dick but it seems that you are aiming to create nothing more than a parody and to do that you have to know what you are doing and know how to do it correctly.

wheres the fun in that? the protagonist is supposed to be a dude who knows nothing about the criminal underworld apart from video games & anime being dragged down into it

its like if an entire radio station in gta 4 had nothing but elevator music-nobody would give a shit about it

You might want to go with the Dragon Crisis ED, if you're looking for a typical catchy anime song.

You know what would be great? The story about some gaijin ota in japan. You could visit akiba, nipponbashi, gope girls on a train, have problems with yakuza, beat up some right-wingers and shit. Or you could just be a 2D only man and date girls inside your PC. The main cities could be Kyoto, Tokyo and Osaka. This kind of stuff would be great.

You could probably find something better by googling "otaku rooms".

So really I don't get it. What do you think people will get out of your character other than him spouting generic catchphrases, having figs and all of that?

There is nothing remotely interesting about that at all and as people have pointed out was done already in No More Heroes.

Anyway maybe you should focus your attention on everything else. I just skimmed through it out of curiosity and it sounds absolutely boring, full of shitty and unfunny stereotypes (It's funny because people jack off to anime, right?) and more importantly it has already been done before.
