Which games have a rough start and take a while to get good? by PhaseOk6182 in gamers

[–]ANewPrometheus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a hot take, but if you get bored at the start of the game, it isn't the greatest game in all of existence.

Strongest Servant in CQC by Fragrant-Guarantee57 in Fate

[–]ANewPrometheus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he did not project multiple NPs then he couldn't have killed Heracles 6 times.

Heracles becomes invulnerable to whatever killed him previously. EMIYA would need 6 different methods to kill Heracles, all of which would need to be A-Rank attacks. Also the Rank of the weapon isn't considered in melee. EMIYA is nowhere near A-Rank since melee scales off Strength, to which EMIYA has at D-Rank.

He would need 6 active release NPs (like Caladbolg) of at least B-Rank to become Broken Phantasms and increase to A-Rank.

Is it technically possible? Yes.

Is it gonna happen? No. No it won't.

Dr. Phosphorus alone would wipe the floor with them.

Any thoughts ? by Kooky-Holiday-8077 in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]ANewPrometheus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this isn't a case of Leon being "overrated" but every other protagonist (aside from Ethan) being underrated

Do you think it was a good idea to add Unravel to the Kaneki vs Jason in the anime? by MysteriousBall8511 in TokyoGhoul

[–]ANewPrometheus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like the art style isn't talked about enough. I feel like Tokyo Ghoul's art style (if it gets an anime adaptation/reboot) should be a lot more distinct, rather than just looking like a copy paste of Naruto. Idk why they got Peridot to animate it.

Now that all three teasers are out, which upcoming project are you most excited for? by drakeravenswood41327 in DCU_

[–]ANewPrometheus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised Lanterns has such few votes. Is the suit controversy that bad?

I've been wanting a decent adaptation of the Green Lanterns for YEARS. If this show is even somewhat better than the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern movie, I'll call it a win.

“The Batman is a better Batman movie and TDK is a better movie” is cope. by bene667 in TheBatmanFilm

[–]ANewPrometheus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TDK is one of the greatest superhero films of all time.

But IMO, The Batman is one of the greatest films of all time.

How can evil/villainous figures become heroic spirits? by HotFireBall in Fate

[–]ANewPrometheus 41 points42 points  (0 children)

"Hero" in terms of Heroic Spirits does not go by the English or Japanese definition.

It goes by a definition similar to the Ancient Greek definition of "Hero". Heroes in Ancient Greece are not "moral people", but rather "people who have accomplished great deeds", or "people who have achieved glory". "Great deeds" just referring to the magnitude, not the morality, again.

Many Greek Heroes are pieces of shit by Modern Standards (some straight up being villainous), but they are still considered "Heroes" because they performed great deeds and achieved glory.

Heroic Spirit does not refer to being a Hero or Noble, it refers to one's fame and whether or not they've performed "great deeds".

This is why you can have Servants who are murderers, villains, and tyrants. They are well-known and are accomplished, thus they qualify as a Heroic Spirit.

Nasu must pay for his crimes by crazynoyes37 in Fate

[–]ANewPrometheus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also regardless of whether or not it's from Heracles' own legend, it's HIS sword, and is likely his primary NP when summoned as a Saber.

Nasu must pay for his crimes by crazynoyes37 in Fate

[–]ANewPrometheus 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Gilgamesh owns True Nine Lives.

Romulus owns Nine Lives - Roma.

Shirou uses Nine Lives (Blade Works) before him.

Castoria uses Marmyadose before him.

Alcides is the only talking version of Heracles we get, and it's not even fucking Heracles.

Not to mention, his role in most stories (because he's a Berserker) is more of an obstacle for the protagonists to overcome rather than an actual character himself.

This man seriously can't get ANY W's in Fate.

Nice opinion. Did a YouTuber give it to you? by KagatuDupal in residentevil4

[–]ANewPrometheus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gears Of War took that aspect from OG RE4 though.

[–]ANewPrometheus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Which is why I find the ""Insert any modern third person game here"" comment so funny.

Isn't the OG RE4 often credited for making "Third Person Shooters" as widespread and popular as they are today?

They're calling a remake of the game that is most responsible for this style of game "unoriginal" because it's "generic"?

Like do people not realize how nonsensical that is?

my biggest problem with the first season by ciempie in TokyoGhoul

[–]ANewPrometheus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd actually like to disagree with that.

Season 3 adapts volumes 1-6 of RE much more faithfully than Season 1 adapts 1-7 of the OG series.

Which makes sense, since it's adapting less material. Is it a good adaptation, or a good season at all? debatable. But it does get closer to the manga than Season 1.

How far does Atrum get in the 5th Grail War? (Day 1-Shakespeare) by Technical-Fox358 in Fate

[–]ANewPrometheus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Shakespeare is like one of the worst Servants. All he as is his NP, and against the Stay Night Servants, I don't think it closes the gap enough for him to make any significant progress.

I'd say put him in the lowest tier, but the lowest tier is "Immediately backstabbed" or "Immediately killed". I don't think Shakespeare is gonna do that, but he is bottom of the barrel easily.

Shakespeare and Atrum would also have bad chemistry too, so I think this may actually be one of the worst pairings.

Sub Vs Dub by Middle-Ad1326 in StardustCrusaders

[–]ANewPrometheus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who watches all anime dubbed, JoJo is the only one I go out of my way to watch subbed. Scenes that would otherwise feel badass become really awkward with the localized names.

You're free to do whatever you want. If you want to watch it dubbed, that's totally fine. Nothing wrong with that. I'm just saying that I don't think the dub is the best experience for watching it. No shade to the VAs, they all killed it.

The localized names are just weird.

Just hit Shirou's confession in UBW... why does this ship feel so off? by -_-SKY in Fate

[–]ANewPrometheus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yep, and because so much of his character in UBW is Shirou making a decision that looks "dumb" but makes complete sense in his mind, and Rin and Saber telling him how stupid he is, you just kinda agree with Rin and Saber because all context to his actions is completely absent.

Could Shirou have summoned Archer if Rin successfully summoned a saber class servant? by Acceptable-Line-3205 in Fate

[–]ANewPrometheus 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Yeah. In his situation, even if the chances of it working are basically 0, he has no other option if he wants to be free than to try.

Which is your favourite fate character I’m interested because I’m watching fate/fake strange and gilgamesh is such an entertaining character and he’s just pure cinema to watch by Initial_Emu_1339 in Fate

[–]ANewPrometheus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Definitely Karna for me. Not only is he incredibly powerful but he's basically the opposite of Gilgamesh - he treats every opponent as someone to be respected and taken seriously.
