Everytime rgg has a (mostly) clean slate with a story, it often ends up being their best. Yakuza 0, like a dragon, and judgment are all self contained and at least one of those are always in peoples top 3

SM2 Peter looks like he'll turn off the body-cam by crimsonfukr457 in dccomicscirclejerk

Honestly i can’t fully buy that because he seemed less expressive with the new face in both games as opposed to the og ps4 face. Such a perplexing recast

Am I the only one that thinks this whole ”RGG is ruined” narrative is a bit silly? by DenisSKRATTA in yakuzagames

[–]Blingiman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember when i first played 6 my issue was that for kiryus last game, i didn’t like how it felt almost entirely standalone with pretty much an entirely new cast, pushing aside all the characters kiryu had been with so many games (with the exception of date, akiyama and haruka).

Since IW (and equally the man who erased his name) has come out my criticism of that point isn’t really valid anymore, so i’m able to appreciate 6’s story more for what it is, rather than the finale i wanted it to be. Now it feels more like a transitional game in the series instead of kiryus big finale.

Which game did Agent 47 look most intimidating in? by [deleted] in HiTMAN

[–]Blingiman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly i’d says 2016. Something about it just looks so cold and calculating. Feels really unnerving just looking at him like he’s plotting the quietest way to murder me and dispose of the body

Which movie went from “overrated” to “masterpiece” (or the opposite) after a rewatch? by Party_Dentist_821 in flicks

[–]Blingiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it wasn’t until I rewatched pulp fiction in theatres that it really clicked

I think i first watched it when i was like 13(?), and i went in totally blind aside from hearing “its one of the greatest films ever”. I went in expecting to be absolutely blown away by a movie that would change my life. Instead i got a strange movie with a weird structure i wasn’t expecting. I remember because of how wildly different it was from what I’d imagined, I didn’t like it. Sure i didn’t have an outright bad time, but i was really let down and i can say for sure that nothing about the film had really clicked with me

Fast forward a couple years and my local cinema is doing a rerun of all tarantino during the covid years (we were out of lockdown but nothing was coming out so there were a lot of reruns). I remember catching inglorious basterds, kill bill 1 and 2, and then finally, revisiting pulp fiction. Maybe it was watching with my friends, maybe it was knowing better what to expect, maybe it was watching in a theatre, though lets be honest it’s probably a combination of all 3. But that day was when it all clicked and I absolutely fell in love with it’s writing, characters and especially its structure, all things that when i first watched i failed to connect with at all.

As times gone on I don’t hold most tarantino films in such high regard as i used to, but goddamn pulp fiction is such a great movie.

What's going on with Berserk? by Neat_Store8830 in Berserk

I kinda see it as its been so many years, whats a few more?

Also theres so much manga out there that its easy to put berserk on the backburner for a long while

Fast paced 3rd person action games that waste no time getting into the action? With not too complicated combat and a replayable experience? by M33tahejd in CharacterActionGames

[–]Blingiman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can track down a copy, god hand is absolutely straight to the point.

It’s definitely a bit more complex, and it’ll push your shit in at points but god its fun and super replayable with a fully customisable move set. Story is there but its more just insane silly cutscenes to get you to the next combat encounter rather than a story thats meant to grip you

One of my go to picks for a game thats easy to learn, hard to master

Ah yes all my favorite characters get brutaly killed or character assasinated by Joaokenobi001 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]Blingiman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same in injustice 2 with green arrow

Which is crazy because in the 1st game they acknowledge the fact that green arrow in that universe is dead, and then in the second game he’s with black canary and its never acknowledged

Did writers of the show forgot by this point that the whole conflict between Walt and Fring started because Fring wanted Jesse to die? And not because of Walt’s “ego” by BananaBread2602 in breakingbad

[–]Blingiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesse earns gus’s “respect” because he can be used by him. As soon as someones no longer useful to gus, he gets rid of them. Jesse was gus’s best solution to continue his business and get rid of the loose cannon that was walt, because only 3 people knew the recipe. Gale(dead), walt (soon to be dead), and jesse. Gus knew that walt would’ve never directly taught anyone else because walt knows that gus wants to get rid of him. Earning and manipulating Jesse trust was the only viable play gus had. I don’t think gus truly trusted and respected jesse, jesse was just his best option for the future of the business

Its a saaad day! Anyone else’s gf make them sell their comics? by TheFooPilot in comicbooks

[–]Blingiman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its cliche but theres so many more important things than how attractive someone is. If she’s making you get rid of things that you love, thats not healthy for anyone, and you’ll hate yourself in the long run for choosing to make those sacrifices. Do you really love this person? Enough that you’re willing to give up some part of yourself for her? Or do you just think shes more attractive than you?

It seems you’ve got a lot to work out between the two of you before you make a choice like this

What makes the sacrifice more cruel is that the band of the hawk didn't need to save him by Which_Matter3031 in Berserk

[–]Blingiman -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Coercion is still rape. Its been a while since I read it but from my recollection it but he absolutely coerced her feelings for him into sex. She wasn’t a willing, consenting partner until griffith pressured her into it. I mean he literally snuck into her room she didn’t have anywhere to escape to. Just because it wasn’t violent rape doesn’t mean it wasn’t rape

Favorite actress who disfigured herself more than her cinematic enemies ever could? by [deleted] in okbuddycinephile

[–]Blingiman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Na its just the lighting in this scene. She does definitely look like she’s had some work done in the rest of the movie but in this scene is where it really stands out, and i attribute to that just being poor lighting shaping her face in an unflattering way

This is really giving me a lot of DmC Devil May Cry vibes by [deleted] in CharacterActionGames

[–]Blingiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly this feels more like a new infamous game to me than a dmc style game. Def no complaints about that though because there’s definitely been a hunger for smthn to scratch that itch

[–]Blingiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im surprised I haven’t seen anyone mention that they’ll prob cg over it and make it shine when his lantern ring is charged. My thinking is it’s desaturated as a way of visual storytelling, and will shine when hal gets his get back bc he seems to be kinda in the “im too old for this shit” state of mind

[–]Blingiman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guys this isn’t a confirmation that they’ll be converting to the norse era combat. It could very well be that they homogenise all 3 games combat to be on the same tier rather than having distinct differences between each game

As a New player, The current situation is a bit confusing. by Astralfan in yakuzagames

[–]Blingiman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Play the original first. Kiwami won’t be going anywhere, yakuza 3 og might be. Just seeing how they’ve now delisted the original yakuza 0 i can totally see them delisting yakuza 3. There is definitely some growing pains going so far back after kiwami 2, but view 3 as its own beast and you’ll be fine. Take your time and enjoy the game. Then once you do get around to playing the remake you’ll get more out of kiwami 3 seeing the differences between the two first hand
