Fan art is weird No matter what the artist thinks they're conveying, all of it is the exact same value as an airbrushed tweety bird on an oversized tshirt in a kiosk at the mall

al-azad posted:Fan art is how media transcends the small bubble it exists in and without fandom SH2 would exist as a curiosity forgotten 20 years ago instead of remembered forever. And maybe that cheapens the original in hindsight but it doesn't erase it from existence you can always experience SH2 as it existed back then. a world where the last 20 years of horror games weren’t obsessed with “you did a bad thing but you forgot” …

veni veni veni posted:I might be old, but using your artistic skills to suck off or meme the gently caress out of some product you are consuming will never not be the lamest use of your own talent. Not to mention it often undermines the intent of the original creators and fucks up whatever they were trying to do for everyone, because the initial concept becomes a joke. That opinion might be valid if the person only or mainly does fan art, but a lot of the time its just an artist messing around. They don't really attribute any higher meaning it. I'm betting the pyramid head guy is probably more upset that Konami is willing to run Pyramid Head into the ground. (They may be even trying to make a loving NFT of him).

oldpainless posted:RE8 is good but it definitely has its best parts up front and gets worse as it goes on. Like most of its brothers there is definitely a "runtime buffer" in the later levels. They don't do the thing of going to the underground lab but the machine level is three times longer than any of the other levels. It's something of a drawback of allowing people to upgrade weapons and horde ammo, eventually you end up with a bottom half where you need a lot more miniboss fights to justify the effort.

I thought the structure worked pretty well, sandwich two shorter sequences between the first longer one where you're generally weaker, and the later longer one where you've become a walking arsenal.

oldpainless posted:RE8 is good but it definitely has its best parts up front and gets worse as it goes on. The same could be said of 7 though, but at least that one didn't start sliding until the choice on the dock. I avoided the LD memes because when there's media I actually want to indulge in I like to go in as "fresh" as possible, so that usually means avoiding trailers as well (unless they play at the start of a movie, that's a bit different) and I loved 7. I only started playing 8 recently; having just finished up the LD section, she was OK as an antagonist, but the daughters were as cookie-cutter and bland as evil characters could be, and LD's final form was RE6-levels of "overstuffed and overdone and not scary." Bloodborne is still the reigning champ of "it's scary to just look at it" monster design, and that's unfortunate considering this series gave us Lisa in REmake, who was as good a contender for that title as ANYTHING in Bloodborne (yeah, I said it). Hell, even Condemned had scarier regular enemies. And for the life of me I can't fathom why LD went viral the way she did; the only thing I can think of is because she's rather unique as far as a monster concept goes? Is gigantism really that much of a thing?

They featured her heavily in the initial marketing and doubled down on it after the, uh, internet response. They knew what they were doing. For me, I hate linear “run and hide from the bad guy” segments because they drag down subsequent playthroughs so much. RE 2 had this with the Sherry part. House Benviento is super cool the first time and then totally sucks rear end every other time I want to run through the game collecting treasure and upgrading poo poo.

I want an entire game made out of House Beneviento. Mandatory puzzles, optional puzzles, easter eggs everywhere, a fractured but followable story, and maybe just the one chase scene or two. Like Devotion. Bloober Team need not apply.

It's a cycle and it's been going on probably since humans existed. Lotta loud people just trying to let everyone know they are horny and what they are horny about. Whether we want to hear them or not.

Big vampire lady was the least interesting of the weirdo gang in RE8 to me, so I'm glad she ended up not being a whole game antagonist or anything close like some people wanted.

Back in the day, hearing about some mythical 'nude tomb raider' cheat that definitely worked, or some 'mos' that certainly wasn't just a virus or something. Kids these days just have 3d model artists making porn with assets from the game itself, they don't know what it was like walking uphill through the snow to get a pixelated nipple texture or something.
