I tried to stay on board with #FE but the japanese voice acting means I have to actually watch the videos to follow what's happening, and I usually have them playing in the background of things. So then I paid attention to them, and I found out the game is actually insanely dumb and boring

So when did Markus get The Touch exactly? He just sort of knew to do it to the receptionist and I feel like I missed something.

So it's probably just me but I get the feeling they didn't understand any of why the final boss fight with Baldur was happening. Why he was still persisting in trying to kill his mom, why Freya was still trying to protect him etc.

Though to be fair, I did miss the part where Atreus actually did see ghost Kratos and Zeus while they were in Helheim.

Brok and Sindri taking measurements on Mimir makes me hope for him getting/growing a body in a future game so you can have Boi, Mimir, and Serpent assists.

I did like that Kratos' strength was equal to Baldur's once he had Spartan Rage activated.

I think they got it, it's just that everyone involved had really dumb emotional reasons for doing what they were doing, and they were making fun of that.

The impression I got from why they were saying that is that telling Kratos it was about Ragnarok would have been a much more convincing argument than "THAT'S MY BOY".

I dunno, Kratos didn't seem that concerned about it when Mimir brought it up at the end of the game.

Yeah, and they hadn't seen that then had they?

To be fair pat dying there is the game's fault, Hank should have had no reason to think Connor knew his son's name.

But Connor the character should know everything about Hank, including that his son died. Especially when you choose the right name and Connor exposition dumps Hanks backstory. But that might still be the game’s fault, as you don’t know how Hank’s Son dies until you select the right name and Connor explains it all

Why should he? The game never told him, the person in charge of Connor, that information. And if it's something he should know from doing all his research before he met Hank, which we still didn't see, the fake one would know it too.

E: From youtube comments, you're apparently supposed to find out by searching the room where Hank tries to kill himself and looking at all the pictures. And again, Hank's drunk out of his skull and having a near death experience when that happens, so how the gently caress would he know which pictures Connor did or did not look at? Why would he assume he looked at any?

I remember at the time people were trying to downplay the racism before it came out since most were just going by the trailers. And then the game came out...

Outside of Suda 51 and Kojima, I don’t trust Japanese devs to handle black people right

Is that the same Suda51 who had the rap music cult leader whose weapon was a beatbox that turned into robot arms in NMH2?

According to Mother's Basement that's literally the only place public opinion matters. Right there where the dude looks at the tv, so it might as well just be a hard check on "is Markus violent right now".

Isn't a core aspect of Fire Emblem the weapon triangle? No representation from the other two weapons seems like a huge glaring hole considering how many FE characters there are.

Yes. As well as magic and people riding on wyverns/ horses and pegasi. But that'd be too much to put in the game.

They got magic with Robin at least.

I can guess what bowsette is but I refuse to Google it because if it's what I think it is then lol it'll just be porn

So is it a female bowser announced by nintendo, or is this some dumb fan thing

the new port of a wii u mario game has an easy mode character called toadette, her special powerup is a crown that turns her into "peachette" and makes her look like princess peach

a fan extrapolated that to 'what if bowser puts on the crown' and people ran with it

Battle Network 5 is good and liberation missions are only tedious if you are as dumb as 10 year old me and run an alphabet soup deck. Also the net navi designs of old MegaMan bosses are cool.

not sure how it is in protoman version but in colonel version your options are S or get hosed, and loads of chips trigger boss invincibility so trying to build combos is painful

I mean, they did just have that huge realisation during Scrublords that they were deliberately stunting their own growth by doing stupid poo poo. It was hilarious at the time, but in hindsight, maybe one of the things they were having trouble with behind the scenes was one person wanting to go even harder on the stupid poo poo and someone else wanting to put the effort in and try to actually grow. And if that's the case, and if we're taking it as a Matt/Pat split, it's probably pretty obvious who was who. Like look at the difference in the amount of effort they put into their solo videos.
