![]() And thanks Miku, for everything.Īccept Hatsune Miku and her Vocaloid pals as your lords and saviors when Project DIVA X launches for PS4 and PS Vita on August 30th. Remember to play “ AgeAge Again ” at my funeral. For once, I feel like anything is possible, but most of all, that it wouldn’t be possible if I didn’t have that particular blue-haired angel watching me from above. Project DIVA X makes me feel spiritual as I tap buttons at seemingly impossible speeds, finishing the joyous “LOL -lots of laugh-” on Hard. I love all her different outfits and accessories, even if there are dumb ones like a baby bib or the shark eating her head. I love all the diversity in the songs producers are able to create for her. But this installment uncovered something deep within me that I never knew existed. I respect that it’s not a game for everyone-it either clicks with you, or it doesn’t. Regardless, I’ve been enjoying my time with Project DIVA X. ![]() Using Miku’s lack of pain as an excuse does not make it a viable one. Or like that shark that thinks it’s okay to chomp on a teenage girl’s head and get away with it. Like Miku haters that don’t understand the independent, bustling creative community surrounding Vocaloids, that ultimately give her life beyond being just software, and bash it ignorantly. ) If that doesn’t convince you, how about that shark that is literally eating her skull, and she doesn’t seem to mind (or bleed!)? Honestly, Miku probably feeds off of that negative energy, off of all the things in life trying to tear her down. Do you see how she pins that name tag to her bare skin? How metal is that? (Speaking of which, she should collaborate with Babymetal. When I mentioned earlier that Miku knew no pain-I wasn’t kidding. If anything, it’s just another excuse to admire the ever-unlockable modules (outfits) and accessories for your Vocaloid team. The Cloud system also gives the game a tinge of story through visual novel-y portions, but it honestly doesn’t add much. But if you’re itching to play on a harder difficulty than “normal,” the option to switch over to “Free Play” is always available (the sorta-classic Project DIVA experience available from past games). With the new Cloud system, players are better eased into the game’s different styles. Project DIVA X might be the best starting point for newcomers to the series. Frenetic button tapping and screen swiping, mixed with the catchiest electronic-leaning J-Pop one can imagine. It has probably caused carpal tunnel for about a fifth of its players, myself included. Project DIVA is, quite frankly, not for the faint of heart. It’s a statement that makes me cringe, yet also totally understand. ![]() “It’s the Dark Souls of rhythm games,” someone who makes annoying statements like that might say as a descriptor. “It’s great and hard,” she probably said, I don’t really remember the specifics of her recommendation. My first entry was Project DIVA F (2014), which I quickly poured dozens of hours into after my friend turned me onto it. I’m personally a more recent fan of the series. Project DIVA X is the 10th installment in the ongoing Project DIVA franchise. I feel bad about not cheering up the virtual girl. Miku’s saddened eyes burn holes directly into my skull. Or my boyfriend’s disappointment when I insist that no, I don’t actually want mac n’ cheese for dinner for the third time this week. ![]() Miku’s occasional disappointment reminds me of my mom’s disappointment when I don’t call her back within a day. She wants to feel pleasant 24/7, and if that happiness isn’t maintained, she grows disappointed. But still, Miku’s the type of person whose emotions are always dialed up to 11. Except for that time in Project DIVA X when I gave her a totem pole as a present, she wasn’t too happy about that. She only knows happiness, glee, cheerfulness. Miku is a God.ĭancing, singing, performing extraordinaire Hatsune Miku does not know pain. Others will attribute her likeness to mostly being a videogame character, appearing time and time again as the face of Sega’s Project DIVA rhythm game franchise. Others may say she’s just an idol, one of the pure virtual variety, playing shows as a hologram from time to time. Who the fuck is Hatsune Miku? Some may say she’s a Vocaloid, the poster child for the voice synthesizer software engineered by Crypton Future Media.
