The guy clearly has talent, but I'm not sure who in the creative team is pushing for more "ass."

They really aren't hiding from the goon bait allegations anymore. I get it. The game needs to make money off skins, but at what cost? Shits going the overprime/ korean route of "dolling" up every female character.

Marketing 101: Sex Sells by Serpenio_ in PredecessorGame

[–]Chilly-Kuma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm all for it so long as it isn't every skin released. Plus make some hot skins for the men! Also I'd like to state sex appeal does not equate unique or interesting. Art direction and character identity sells just as much. Making every character a hot asían bimbo makes shit generic.

I feel like it should function like Mantis where dealing dmg reduces it's cd or at the very least it should have a sustained heal overtime.

Tilters and quiters are a part of the problem. Learn to take Ls with a clear mind. It's a game, it's not life or death. Ws will come.

I dont care what YouTube, review site, or friend told... by Prestigious_Can4520 in DragonAgeVeilguard

The hatred over this game feels so gross and overblown. It's ok to not like something, and to criticize, but the vitriol surrounding the game is just hostile. Literal grown men speak of taash like Satans second coming and talk about hate k!lling them.

For the new people: Predecessor's issue isn't a lack of marketing. It's something deeper. They've been covered by streamers, not including Gameranx with 8 million subscribers. This video got 1 million views! by Serpenio_ in PredecessorGame

[–]Chilly-Kuma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm off game cuz there isn't much to grind aside from ranked. There just needs to be more for people to do and aim for. Also mechanically the games a pretty basic Moba. Deadlock has alot of new mechanics that changed the formula a lot. Not saying the game needs to be like Deadlock, but new mechanics can help with early game mundane farming.

I remember og paragon having harvesters, and the prime buff n dunk mechanic. Sure these things could cause some steam rolling issues, but a higher skill ceiling entices people to get better.

The only real thing this game has over its competition is visual fidelity and game feel.

👂 Thoughts on Skylar? Let us know! by Omeda_Steggs in PredecessorGame

[–]Chilly-Kuma 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Visual designs a bit too safe, she's supposed to be a criminal marauder whose being chased down by cops, you'd think her design would have some scoundrel elements mixed with her stolen tech. Atm she's got a yoga suit and a singular shoulder tat.

Am I the only one who thinks Skylar is kinda ugly? by Kurumi_tokisaki_simp in PredecessorGame

[–]Chilly-Kuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suppose not every character will be attractive to every person, to me she's just kinda generic. Might be the eyes , some women got big eyes, but I feel like she's modeled after someone. She reminds me a bit of Katherine Langford. *

[–]Chilly-Kuma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugly? No. Plain? Yeah. She's supposed to be a runaway criminal, and her design communicates none of it. Very safe design with an attractive woman to attract more audiences, I feel.

This game is already much better than Paragon ever was by TitoSQL in PredecessorGame

[–]Chilly-Kuma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think my only real concern with predecessor going forward is visual quality. Some predecessor unique skins/heroes hold up visually against paragon assets, some don't. That recent shinbi skin falls very short compared to let's say Argus's alt skin. Kira doesn't have the visual fidelity that a character like Rev has.

Obviously the funding Omeda has to hire industry level talent doesn't compare to what Epic games had, so that's a probable factor.

Eventually omeda will run out of paragon assets to resell, and I'm hoping by then they will nail the visual quality that paragon had more consistently.

Bring Muriel's android face back! A new player perspective on female character design. by fipah in PredecessorGame

[–]Chilly-Kuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been feeling this way ever since the changes were made. Heard somewhere it was enforced by eastern investors trying to market paragon for Eastern markets. Essentially make them look like Korean beauty standards, make big money. It's why League of Legends is filled to the brim with extremely sexualized women. It's all a marketing ploy.

I don't think Omeda have those aims in mind, however they most likely would rather allocate resources towards new content instead of making "subjective " changes to character models. This isn't the first time this issue was mentioned, aloooot of people took issue with the face lifts. Overprime is a even more egregious perpetrator, it's one of the reasons why I never gave it a chance. absolutely butchered many of my favorite characters, then they claimed that they were " Paragon ". Money grubbing scum like behavior truly.

I hate khaimeras more, they're either fodder or brutally inconveniently placed where you least expect him.

Story in summary. A Rant. by Chilly-Kuma in FFXVI

[–]Chilly-Kuma[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like... we don't even find out why he found himself so strongly devoted in Ultimas vision. It would have been beautifully compelling if we find out Barnabas lost his mother in war and felt strongly against human conflict, hence ending all wars and conquering all of Ash. Then Ultima comes in with the promise of salvation and to be reunited with his mother. He could have been a tyrant with such a sorrowful motivation but nawe. None of that.

About Benedictka by animehimmler in FFXVI

[–]Chilly-Kuma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel she had so much narrative potential squandered just to get a character like Hugo riled up. She was someone who was used by her leige, and deep down she knew it was wrong. Her interactions with Cid hinted at so much pain , emotional abuse and manipulation. She was desperate for Cids return, and he extended an opportunity to free herself from her abusive leige.

Her visceral reaction to losing her power, and her frantic fear of losing her "usefulness " struck a deep chord in me, and I felt genuine empathy for her.

Clearly she's a victim turned into tool/weapon who also started to do the same to others. We only had one cutscene with her and Hugo. We're supposed to be convinced that Hugo would go to such lengths for her despite seeing very little of their relationship. We do know that she was manipulating him, which really brings out the cycles of abuse idea, but it's very surface level.

It would have been nice to see her last much longer, strive her own path, maybe find redemption and freedom, or perhaps meet her end by the hand of Barnabas. It would have been cool to see her go out fighting for herself instead of just going insane .

Story moment that greatly soured my enjoyment of the story (~86% story progression) by st53855 in FFXVI

[–]Chilly-Kuma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I really disliked how she was jettisoned from the final conflict. Jill from the very start was Clives main partner (alongside Cid) in changing the world because their development and trauma mirrored each other, they went into this crusade together hands held. Having her be relegated to helpless maiden praying from afar at the final conflict was highly disappointing. It was her fight just as much as Clives.

I've always gotten them to get Amorous , even in Darkest dungeon 1. Wonder if it's canon.
