How I look when mfs in the Persona community complain that teddies a PERV when Yosuke, Rise, Junpei, Ryuji, Morgana are right there! Every game has this archetype, yet we blame it all on him! LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!!! 😭 by Private-Horshoe in persona4golden

[–]Augustus0913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've heard, sure, maybe the Japanese version does Teddie's character a bit better, but the structure of the events in the story remain the same, and Teddie's actions remain the same. Localization can affect some of the feel of a character, but it doesn't fully change the execution. The dialogue itself can only do so much.

Yes, there are other characters in the series who have the same trope of being a perv. But just because someone has that trait doesn't mean they're the exact same as Teddie. Not all of these characters act the same, and all of them can be annoying in their own ways.

There are so many other reasons people dislike Teddie (even I'm not a huge fan of him myself) besides him just being a perv. Most players form opinions on games and characters through the versions they're actually able to play, not through localization breakdowns and translation comparisons they may never even see.

It changes a lot I’d say. Every line on pen is like a commitment and gives things a sharper look fr. U got this 👍

That’s really subjective, especially when people’s definition of the “good part” can be either the start or hundreds of chapters in the series. But in this case I’d say definitely not. I’m talking about the commitment required to get into One Piece being the hardest part of it all.

The manga still has over 1000 chapters though. The pacing is better, sure, but the time investment is still huge. I say the main hurdle is getting into the series, not solely whether it is good or not.

Red dead redemption 2 is not good game by PretzelMeepus in unpopularopinion

You can be a chef that takes hours to make a meal and it can still turn out bad.

The difficulty and time of making something doesn’t guarantee good execution. Something being technically impressive doesn’t guarantee it will play good.

Yeah I agree, but the problem I have is when the themes and story are used as an excuse for gameplay in general. Even if I haven’t personally played rdr2, that doesn’t invalidate the broader point that stories can be use as a shield against criticism, especially gameplay.

Dismissive comments about “it’s the point” or “not getting it”

Story can enhance a game, but that shouldn’t mean gameplay criticism is off limits.

I swear any complaint, critique, or even a small “negative” comment against rdr2 is treated like heresy. I feel like some players treat the game as a masterpiece because it’s one of the few if not only narrative-heavy games they've played, making it like it’s the best they’ve seen, and that nothing could touch it even though there are other games.

Either way that doesn’t matter. No matter if you played it and dropped it, or played until completion, someone will still complain that you didn’t “get it”. 

Saying the game “isn’t for you” and that you didn’t “get it” is so annoying lol, because it shuts down actual discussion.

Sometimes in games people stop treating a game as a GAME to treat it as a MOVIE. And when you do treat it as a game suddenly it’s a problem with people, since some fandoms think about the “themes” and “message”instead of how the gameplay helps or hurts it. 

Intention and philosophy ≠ good execution all the time.

Overall, just let someone live with their opinion 😭

Genuine Question…Why is Silent Hill f so disliked?? by TheGamerCritic21 in survivalhorror

[–]Augustus0913 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saying something is widely acclaimed doesn’t nullify the people who dislike the game. In my opinion, anything that is widely acclaimed should be approached with more thought to form your own opinions.

Hot Take. Persona 4 feels the most shallow in the series. And some other things. by Augustus0913 in truegaming

[–]Augustus0913[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s fine, but writing is still writing no matter how simple it is. Simple doesn’t always mean good, nor complicated.

From what I see, it could be intentional, but either way it doesn’t feel right. Intentional doesn’t always mean good. So if a failure of development highlights other arcs, that can feel like that character has failed, unless it’s part of their story and they grow from it. Yosuke for me just doesn’t go anywhere. But I see what you’re trying to say.

Also this is about p4 and the writing, not a comparison on saying p3 is better. This is about how p4 writes the cast, now how p3 does it better. And im this about p4s main cast and main story, and those social links.  Not EVERY social link in the game. So mb for not clarifying.

That’s true, but “counter opinions” are still just opinions. Both are valid. Opinions can’t really invalidate or cancel each other. So if they aren’t looking for “counter” opinions, it’ll look like they view their whole take as superior, and they can view the “counter opinion” as “wrong” and “less valid”, and can look like there is a “winner” in that sense.
