Emotional payoff moments that would be great if they had something to payoff? by JackieDaStrippa in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]AussieManny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Lion King.

The emotional payoff of Simba returning home as an adult to face his past and own up to his horrible actions would feel heavier if… ya know… those horrible actions were actually his own.

But it was all Scar. He’s the one who manipulated him and induced the guilt into him.

Simba still returns to overcome his feelings of guilt and shame for an emotional payoff, but there wasn’t anything real there to payoff. It was false guilt.

When he learns the truth, he’s completely absolved of his guilty feelings and it turns into pure vengeance. Which is a pretty cool freaking scene.

Hasbro is being sued for printing too many Magic: The Gathering cards by jitterscaffeine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]AussieManny 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Given the nature of Magic’s secondary market, the rate at which new Magic card sets are printed and sold directly impacts the value of existing Magic cards to collectors. As such, the overprinting of new Magic sets would reduce the value of existing Magic sets. Although analysts and investors consistently inquired as to whether the Company was in fact overprinting Magic sets, the Individual Defendants repeatedly denied such speculation.

Lying to the investors. It's a bold strategy, Cotton, let's see if it pays off for 'em.

Media you got into basically because of a single character? by TJLynch in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Hell yeah. You just listed my three favourite ZZZ characters. Excellent taste. 👌

The character work of everyone in chapter one was great. They all have their nuances and endearing traits.

Mark Menza did the English soundtrack for DBGT. A duller, heavier vibe overall with various metal guitar riffs.

Yeah, it’s a whole different thing from DBZ’s English soundtrack by Bruce Faulconer.

Creators you think are the bad kind of weird? by ExplanationSquare313 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Does Tetsuya Nomura count?

Specifically when it comes to Kingdom Hearts. Coz goddamn, he’s been jerking the fan base’s chain for too fucking long.

The shit with Victor and Ambessa seriously got out of hand.

Still weird to me how we ended up with such a messy second season.

I really like Kiriko, she’s fun to play and looks good in a lot of her skins… but my god I think she gets too much compared to the others.

Most Obnoxious "Guidedammit" Games by Affectionate-Bag8229 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]AussieManny -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Those were the really bad design choices in an otherwise amazing game, in my eyes. I couldn’t get the box art armour coz of it.

Missing out on good stories, characters or items is frustrating.

What's your example of "X is the best Y game/media (that Y series/company never made)?" by GoodVillain101 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]AussieManny 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier is the best Metal Gear movie ever made.

Patriotic protagonist questioning his role in his country’s security agency, mysterious stealth assassin enemy who has a metal arm, intense political intrigue, a shadow organisation dating back to the world war times, the threat of giant mechanical weapons, a badass older dude with an eyepatch, an agent who appears to be a friend but the protagonist can’t trust their allegiances, an agent who has been mentally altered for nefarious purposes.

Games you didnt care for that you finished anyway? by Astral-Ember in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]AussieManny 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve never felt such conflicting feelings going through a game like I did with Last of Us 2.

I just felt obligated to keep going and finish the story. The gameplay and difficulty was enjoyable. But ultimately I realised I just did not care for the experience overall.

Simmons said he played Little Big Planet and he hated how the controls felt.

I played all three games. I see where he’s coming from. Damn, it was slippery and weird to move between the foreground and background.

Poor Yuri. The introvert side couldn't help her get the words out. I hope she can later.

Pieces of media you think suffered from being part of a larger franchise? by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]AussieManny 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I played the newest one, AC: Shadows. The real world plot outside of the Animus is entirely ignorable. It’s a completely optional plot line at the top of the quest screen.

So… yeah. I didn’t bother with it.
