valkyrie profile got away with its gigantic cast because your party members were also basically salable resources, you had to kick one up to valhalla every so often or daddy odin would get very upset this encouraged a semi-rotating cast where you had a couple of reliable standbys along with whatever schmuck you were leveling up to send upstairs that chapter indivisible just seems to be glutted with characters and short on reasons to use any of them

Shinji2015 posted:I'm pretty biased towards TTYD, just because it's one of my favorite RPGs of all time, but seeing what they were able to get away with in it and then looking at Origami King, it's just... disappointing, which isn't fair to OK. It looks like a solid game, but everything I've seen from it just feels like they're running as far from TTYD as they can. that's true of origami king but it's not always a bad thing - Bobby is pretty much a cheeky jab at the fans' distaste for changing out all the uniquely designed sidekicks in favor of total generics, and part of the joke is that he's one of the most most charming and developed companions in the whole series. certainly more so than anyone in TTYD, the only one i remember liking in that game is my boy Koops

Regarde Aduck posted:yeah its a very mean spirited check to fail. It's the one odd thing in the game where i don't know what I was supposed to feel. Or how to interpret it thematically. Like why does Harry just lose it in that very specifically racist manner even if you've avoided all other chances to be racist? Why at that moment of almost triumph? failed authority checks are some of the most dangerous of the lot because they make harry do insane, self-destructive poo poo in an attempt to gain dominance over the conversation. usually that consists of screaming meltdowns or suicide attempts, but in kim's case, harry's misfiring brain remembers that racial slurs are a sore spot for kim and goes "fire off the nastiest slur you can think of, that'll get him on the back foot"

Coquito Ergo Sum posted:I used to roll my eyes at the people who said "The bad voice acting is what makes the characters great in SH2!" I just wanted the game to have flaws, and that it was okay to have them. I came to appreciate the original dub when I finally heard the redubbed voices in the HD Collection where the lines sounded so clean and professional that they actually sounded as offputting as the original dubs. I then came to appreciate the flaws of the original voice acting, where the characters' hesitation and mis-matched emotions sound a little bit more like what real people would sound like in a horrible situation. It's sort of a cool split to think about sometimes. laura bailey is a better angela, which is doubly impressive because angela was one of the most memorable performances from the original the rest, yeah, way too clean

Alitur posted:So, people who played Everhood, is Woolie accurate in his assesments during the podcast? Cause if he is, wow. Yikes. Very much a case of "sometimes things are better off without a story". a key recurring figure in everhood is literally a Buddha, woolie’s not the smartest lad

Alitur posted:So, after reading about it more (I ain't got reaction time to play the game), it seems that the message is still somewhat bungled, even if it is not inherently YIKES? Like, while it is an uncharitable reading, but it is not completely unreasonable to say that Everhood supports killing your grandma on life support even if she says no*. I am pretty sure that it's unintentional, but it does seem to be a genuine flaw in the story. the only bungling happens in the presentation (the weird dialogue and mostly unnecessary fourth-wall player-referencing stuff), not the concept itself. the Everhood is a bardo whose residents have all become hopelessly stagnant and/or violently insane from their time spent there, and part of that stagnation is their unwillingness to move on, whatever reason they might give. rasta beast is one of the most level-headed people there, but from another perspective he's among the worst because his reluctance to die is based in compassion for those around him, so he's harder to shake out of it than most

Dabir posted:So it's more like exorcising grandma's ghost? it's closer at least. ghosts in a lot of folklore are defined mainly by repetition - stuck to single places/actions/motivations, with deleterious effects on themselves and everyone around them. everhood's residents are in the same boat it seems like the main takeaway re: woolie is that christian perspectives on life/death don't mesh very well with buddhist ones

the genophage was the result of a long line of poor decisions from all parties involved and the main question the game asks isn't "was it in the right then" but "is it in the right now" larger galactic civilization raised up the krogan for cheap infantry and then stomped them back down into the mud, and the main reason the genophage persists is that everyone's really nervous about what might happen if they lift their boot back up the salarians uplifted the krogan out of desperation without giving the question of "what next" enough thought, the krogan started forcibly colonizing other territories while telling the resident populations "what are you gonna do about it," and the turians decided that hitting the big red button would be ideal if it ended the war decisively. the only way the only situation resolves well is if cooler heads like wrex and eve are allowed to prevail, because at the time of the rebellions it seems like krogan leaders were primarily vicious maniacs like wreav and they've mostly gotten themselves killed in the interim Oxxidation fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Sep 10, 2022 |

Arc Hammer posted:I've never played Silent Hill so I don't know I just know 4 is the one with the haunted apartment. there's a room in SH3's hospital with a wall-length mirror and a complicated environmental hazard. it doesn't exist to do anything but frighten and kill you, in that order. it also locks you in when you enter until the hazard starts doing actual damage and things get properly spooky, so pretty much everyone who wandered into it has it etched into their memory

paragon shepard’s arguments in that mission honestly aren’t that convincing. mordin’s fully aware of the death toll and has spent a lot of mental bandwidth rationalizing the work he’s done. angrily gesturing at a corpse on a table isn’t exactly an ironclad rebuttal if that mission has a weakness it’s that mordin really isn’t vulnerable to counter-argument until you reach maelon, at which point the time for discussion is over

to my understanding you’re primed to dislike the ending anyway because Bayonetta 3 is just one long series of Bayonetta failing to accomplish anything and getting her rear end kicked, which is tedious at the best of times and completely antithetical to the character

every time i skim the bayo 3 playthrough it's either a lengthy platforming section or a fight against enemies so big that bayonetta looks like a smudge on the screen. at least astral chain was able to keep your character visible

what gets me is how Platinum basically cheated to put Viola in the driver’s seat. the contrast to Nero is obvious - people weren’t to hot on him at the start either but at least there was never any doubt he was the scrappy upstart to Dante’s seasoned professional, and his stripped-down gameplay matched his inexperience while still being satisfying. Viola sucks to play by most accounts, she’s a pratfalling schmuck outside of combat, and Bayo 3 plays her up by drastically lowering the established protagonists’ competence whenever possible. this does not endear her to the audience very well!

bayonetta always flaunted her power/sexuality against an enemy cast that was majority male or male-coded, so it’s hard to see her having no interest in guys at all. it is difficult to platonically grind your heel against a fallen dude’s scalp while calling them a bad boy. add that to Luka being her favorite suitor/chew toy from the beginning and it wouldn’t have been hard to play this off right, but bayo 3 did not do that. instead it made him into a whinging werewolf and the interdimensional Ur-Boyfriend while flicking Jeanne away like a paper towel
