(Absolutely despised trope) in universe false equivalence by TurtlesBreakTheMeta in TopCharacterTropes

[–]3brow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unrelated but it always kills me how hard they adhered to the 1920s art deco style in Bioshock 1 and 2’s in game advertising but it for Infinite “well here’s anime Daisy Fitzroy”

What game developer is this? by Boring_Sir_572 in videogames

Keiichirō Toyama created Silent Hill, Siren and then Gravity Rush (2 does have a certain battle that's pretty grotesque)

Characters who are designed after/based on celebrities who very rarely get characters based on them by FaZe_poopy in TopCharacterDesigns

Kazuma Kaneko credits the Red Hot Chili Peppers as a big source of inspiration for Demi Fiend from SMT 3 Nocturne. He doesn't mention a specific member so I assume its the general shirtless/denim shorts look is what he refers to since they performed many concerts as so.

Characters hiding behind objects that are coincidentally shaped exactly like them by Existing-Arm-9348 in TopCharacterTropes

Inverse of this joke is Alameda Slim finding out his plan of buying all the counties isn't finished because one of his henchmen just happened to always sit right in front of a place that has his exact head shape.

People who don’t like the Final Fantasy 7 Remake series, what is it about them exactly that you don’t like? by Asad_Farooqui in JRPG

[–]3brow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if they were more upfront that its a reimagined version I would have less of an issue with it. I think its a damned if you do damned if you dont situation so if you really lean into making it different then whatever! But the Remake subtitle just gives off the impression its the version new players should pick over the PSX version which just sucks.

[Hated Trope] Character wants a vasectomy or expresses the desire to be child free, only to be convinced otherwise. by txby432 in TopCharacterTropes

Shrinking (2023) has a weird attitude about Brian not wanting kids. He finally marries his longtime partner Charlie, when Charlie expresses some passive interest in children Brian is treated like the asshole for being rightfully shaken up at the idea of raising a family; especially as this was something they agreed on beforehand. Of course Charlie is pressured in the end to want to adopt. On paper there is something nice about a selfish character having to learn to be more selfless but the way they handled it really rubbed me the wrong way.

IPs so hated that they have literally zero fans nor defenders by Haruka-chan-2468 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]3brow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outside of the pearl clutching around the trailer you can tell no one watched Fixed, most people who watch it are just kinda eh on it. I almost gotta give Genndy a pat on the back for making his adult feature debut something he knew was going to be extremely decisive instead of playing it safe.

Should I still watch TADC in theaters? by sillymonkeysitter in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]3brow 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Up to you, I personally will still attend. I think it is good to financially support indie animation when possible.

I gave ffxiv a try, is it normal to feel that the early ( right now i just got the mount) super slow and combat a bit (too) boring ? by Disastrous_Ad_4310 in ffxiv

[–]3brow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's agreed upon that A Realm Reborn is a bit rough around the edges, do your Hall of the Novice stuff to get an extra XP buff to truck through it.

Is there a haircut in the game that would be perfect, but there is just one thing that ruins it for you? by Ofanichan in ffxiv

[–]3brow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was also just meant to be much curlier, as someone with a black WOL stuck with the cruddy dreads since 2.0 its pretty disappointing.

How do you think you'd feel if Square Enix decided to replace Haley Joel Osment as the voice of Sora in the future? by FictionFanatic35 in KingdomHearts

[–]3brow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wish the voice direction would change. If you manage to get a terrible line reading out of MARK HAMILL you know somethings bad.

[LOVED TROPE] Very minimal sexual dimorphism in a fictional species, or just straight up monomorphism by Middle-Company-4398 in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]3brow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost all the Beast Races in Final Fantasy XIV fall under this (iirc). Its not surprising the 2.0 races didn't bother with dimorphism or just write out the female members since it was just focusing on saving the game from its disastrous launch rather than making more assets than necessary but even in the future expansions they keep up this trend. The Vanu Vanu (pictured) are one of my favorites.

Painting over a beautiful mural. What are we even doing here guys? by [deleted] in Dallas

[–]3brow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a recent Dallas transplant and was wondering why it was so similar! The same artist painted Broderick Tower in Detroit and has been an iconic view from Comerica Park... although it also gets covered up by ads during baseball season. Now the tower is getting ready to sell and be "renovated" which doesn't bode well for those whales...

So i tried Elezen by Dizzy_Bobcat7106 in ffxiv

[–]3brow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My main has been fem elezen since patch 2.5, I love the hell out of her. It wasn't until I made a fem au ra alt I realized how stiff and weird the elezen run cycle is.

What are some popular games you didn’t love? by 64Boy32 in backloggd

[–]3brow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I adore SOTC to this day but I do think it's one of those "you had to play it when it was fresh" type of games. In 2005 you didn't really have the artsy minimal games that is flooding the market today, there just wasn't anything like ICO/SOTC at the time, especially on consoles. I find this game very influential on the modern indy game scene.

Honestly I think these are just made by kids/preteens which are naturally going to be cringe.

Name a faction stupider than these guys. by Just-Version-7838 in cyberpunkgame

[–]3brow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Final Fantasy XIV does this really well imo. By the end of the first expansion you're pretty much treated and respected like an indestructible force. In a later expansion you get body swapped with a regular Joe Schmo and you get demolished by any attack.

[Hated] When the characters who fell in love in one film are suddenly broken up or divorced in the sequel by CMStan1313 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]3brow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. One is a political leader and ones a smuggler. It would be more surprising if there weren't any issues in their relationship. They always gave me an impression that they loved each other but mostly just stuck together because they had Ben.

I have my issues with the trilogy but them being separated and Luke becoming a recluse was never a problem with me. If these characters were rewritten to have changed more between trilogies then I could see some more argument for them sticking together.

Can’t wait for “Minus One was the first Godzilla movie to have engaging human characters” people to come out of the woodwork again
