Video: Witness Annihilation In The New Daemon X Machina Story Trailer

More story will make the silent, soulless, non-existent protagonist of the demo even more stale.

I get that you are supposed to self insert yourself, but I hate that trope when everyone around you is talking and doing things and it feels like your character is just along for the ride. They point you at the bad guys like a weapon and you go smash them. They all have personalities and you're the fly on the wall they acknowledge as existing every now and then but nothing more.

I can certainly see that it is...uh...a story?

That trailer has me seriously confused and puzzled but as far as the game as a whole I’m more than excited. I’ve been waiting for an action mech game like this for years and I’m finally getting it on the switch. As far as story I hope it’s at least decent while the gameplay aspect from the E3 trailer has me even more drawn in. September can’t get here fast enough! The week after this comes out I’ll be picking up links awakening and the amiibo!

The voice acting in that promo is terrible and the pacing awkward. They need to stick to the action in these trailers.

This is going to be very nice!

Uhh....sure why not.

Gosh do those pilots look emotionless or what. I would prefer if they didn’t even show them in their cockpits at all if their going to look like that.

The game looks really good now, but gosh that was a bad trailer. The only thing about the story I learned was that...the world ended, and there's now a lot of people in big robots who talk to each other for a few minutes. It felt like a random assortment of lines, rather than any sort of cohesive narrative.

This appears to be a bunch of characters saying unrelated sentences, one after the other. Is this 'story' also incoherent nonsense maybe?

Sorry Nintendo. I don't get the overly "red" hues in the entire game. I believe the game is rock solid, gameplay-wise, but the look does not attract me at all at this point.
Let's see how the reviews for this game goes.

Love the artstyle in this game.

Soon as I heard they responded to demo feedback and fixed practically every single complaint people had from top of the list to bottom, adding gyro controls, more audial feedback to gunfire, fixing the out of bounds re-routing, etc etc, I knew I was in.

Meh trailer though.

That always happens when you get an English dub with games that have Japanese as the base language. Very few games actually have proper lip-sync for dubs.

I can only think of Asura's Wrath of the top of my head really...

I am exicted to play this game and I love the music, but that was pure gibberish, I have no idea what they were trying to say lol.

I don't know if this trailer was meant to create excitement and anticipation for the game or dampen expectations so people don't expect too much from the game. And like someone in the comments here said, it is really annoying when games (or even movies) start having over the top stories that no one (possibly not even the developers) understand. It adds absolutely nothing to the game. If anything, it takes away from the game. I was not very impressed with the demo but it seemed like they were taking note of some of the shortcomings but now I'm not so sure anymore...

The world is probably ending soon, but would you like to fly some robots and attack each other?

The limited facial movement inhibits the portrayal of emotions that can really break immersion. Seems to be a problem in Japanese games that don’t go full anime designs or Square Enix who spend 2-3 years just doing character faces.

The game looks great, if it plays great I can forgive the terrible cheesy acting.

I very excited for this game.

That confused me even more. Ah well, game still is looking great and I plan to pick it up!

They called it a story trailer but still don't know whats going on, But I am still picking it up though.

I'm still on the fence about this game... I hope it's good otherwise I'll wait for a sale or something

Ok then...I take it the story is more than what can be packed into a trailer, but they tried anyway.

My understanding is that the pilots of these mechs are an evolved version of mankind that have no freedom. They're basically following orders. I could kind of see that through the trailer. But they did a bad job editing this.

This trailer was so confusing to me, I'm actually glad to see that other people have issues understanding it too; I'm not that much of an idiot, apparently :')

I was hyped when this game was announced but over time it just hasn't looked that good. Probably will be fun but not 60$ fun.
