Goon Boots posted:when will creators stop calling explaining a bunch of random poo poo an iceberg there's something really perverse about trying to interpret a series's plot elements and themes in that format. like instead of engaging with the content on a serious level, they're engaging with it solely as something to be mined for content

its so funny how low IQ /v/ posters are. that matthewmatosis vid about dark souls 2 was so popular with that kind of guy because he pandered to them, and that video can be boiled down to matthew being incapable of understanding themes in a game and incapable of actually playing the game (dude gets his rear end kicked by prowling magus and the congregation, which is one of the easiest fights in any souls game).

Bloodborne is the king among them but I'll give the second best spot to Elden Ring because it feels more satisfying to replay than Sekiro.

John Murdoch posted:What still gets me are the people who act like DS2 invented the concept of multiple enemies attacking you at once, something DS1 did all the goddamn time. Oh god, tell me about it. You have so many people who talk about the developer's intentions in Dark Souls and its clear that what they mean by that is their own personal preferences.

I think my absolute favorite thing about MDickie games is that for some reason all of them have tribunals whenever your character inevitably gets arrested, including the recent school sim one, and its clearly just a coin flip on whether you get a slap on the wrist or not for throwing a bomb at someone in school

ZenMasterBullshit posted:Damning that the best scifi show England can create is sub Stargate level. I think I saw exactly one episode of Dr. Who out of curiosity and it was one where the shaved head Doctor is in the future and there's some bullshit with Earth getting swallowed by the sun and the last human is just a face and some skin stretched out on a rack, and I got so bored/creeped out that I just started watching Regular Show instead

beep by grandpa posted:That's like the 2nd (maybe 3rd?) episode of the reboot. I haven't watched Doctor Who since like 2011 but it's a case study of a show of incredible peaks and valleys my grandpa taped all of it because dude will just watch anything sci-fi (I swear that guy has seen every sci-fi tv series of note), so maybe it was a bad idea by the younger me to start with that, but oof.

RareAcumen posted:Someone should introduce Mother's Basement to Homestuck. It has everything you could want! Game mechanics, incredibly complicated worldbuilding, incest, time travel, Con Air, casual reminders of how people just used to toss the r-slur out back in the late 2000's, and an author thay talks in an even wordier fashion thsn the Architect from The Matrix. my friends got me to read that like two years ago because they thought it would be funny and I must have written like a dozen posts in our group chat that read like fuckin survival horror game journal entries where things get gradually worse over time and i go more and more insane with how fuckin stupid everything gets

for me, homestuck peaked at the first act, which was pretty funny, and then it just kept getting into dumber plot points that weren't funny as time went on and then the troll stuff happened which restarted the plot but at least had some comedy to it and then all comedy was drowned in a whirlpool of time travel and alternate dimensions and really long blog posts. could not possibly bother finishing after that

dmboogie posted:pillars has an interesting setting that’s introduced extremely poorly, a main quest that’s high-concept without any like compelling personal investment, and a lead villain who is a fun concept with zero charisma. this combines to a game that had a lot of individual parts i enjoyed but no lingering emotional response besides a shrug Yeah, I feel like if they quickly established Thaos as your main rival and the guy you have to deal with or you straight up die would've been more interesting. Hell, he has the best excuse for him to be a constantly recurring villain instead of a guy you see like three times: he can possess people and use them as his puppets. They could pretty easily have had him show up again and again just to gently caress with you, since you can't actually kill him. After Baldur's Gate 3, I find that their main quest works better at the start than PoE because BG3 does a much better job of funneling you to the fun stuff. There's this really great area early on in Pillars of Eternity 1, Raedric's Castle, that should've been the first act's conclusion. It has all these hidden paths into and throughout it, trapped areas you have to weave through carefully, challenging fights with his guards who have capabilities similar to your party, ways to disguise yourself to sneak into places, and a good starter villain who has gone insane and become a tyrant because of one of the main conceits of the game's plot (he can't have an heir because his kids are being born without souls). This is, somehow, completely optional; the real conclusion to Act 1 is you leveling up enough through side quests that don't really have all that much to do with your problems to avoid getting your rear end kicked by ghosts in a flat courtyard and a flat throne room, go downstairs into a floor that's about seven rooms total, squash some bugs, and then beat up an old man squatting in a ruin who has magical dementia. BG3's act one always sends you towards people that have personally antagonized you in some way or have some sort of clue as to what's up with the tadpole situation, and everything of consequence is in an amazingly laid out area with some many approaches to get through it. I get that Pillars of Eternity was made really really fast because everyone wanted to save the company before they went under, but its so rough to play.

Terrible Opinions posted:The other part of the answer is they only consume anime ready made for export to western nerd venues they already patronize. Playing indie games, reading print media, or watching non-anime movies is a bridge too far. Do you have any recommendations? I love me some good indie games.
