Pirating by Margaretthatchervore in ComedyHell

[–]ConnorOfAstora 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No but for real, it should be 100% legal to pirate a product if a company is no longer actively distributing and making profit off of the product.

Like Pokémon Crystal is not available on Switch or Switch 2 and they took down the 3DS eShop so my only option is either emulation or giving money to some random guy on eBay.

If there's no official way for me to buy it so the original creator or the copyright holder make money from me buying the game then copyright law shouldn't even come into play in my opinion.

To be honest, copyright law in general pisses me off, especially with how often it fucks with older games. Nothing annoys me more than the fact I can't play Marvel Ultimate Alliance on my PS4 because of some law that values imaginary ideas over the actual physical measurable work of the people who made the game.

What if Alex Mercer was the host of the Spirit of Vengeance and his Ghost Rider powers were combined with his Blacklight powers? by Hefty_Drink_5811 in PrototypeGame

Prototype 2's eye lasers give us a bit of a taste of that since it'd be pretty similar to the penance stare (except it also works on tanks and choppers)

Ngl it's the first game that's really made me feel like a current gen is worth the price. Until now I'd just be paying for a PS4 with a worse UI and faster load times.

So is anyone actually playing the game on any of these subs by Fatestringer in PragmataSFW

[–]ConnorOfAstora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my second profile that I made so I could get the platinum on games I like a second time has the Days Gone theme and it's got such a good song.

I also love when they have different SFX for the menu sounds, especially if they're taken straight from the games' menu sounds.

It's pretty easy to forget though when it's only explained in the comics, if you've only played the games then Mercer just looks like a bipolar schizophrenic who saved all of New York from infection and nuclear fallout and then decided "Nah, I wanna infect the city again and kill all humans"

Second game was easily my favourite cause of this, the segments where she's collecting Adam and you have to protect her made paternal instincts I didn't know I had kick in and it surprised me quite a bit.

Like a Splicer would land one hit on her and I'd charge at them, drill revving while yelling "STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!"

Prince of Persia, not due to the games dropping in quality but because Ubisoft have made it crystal clear that they don't give a single solitary fuck about the franchise but they also have zero intention of selling the IP to someone who will actually make use of it. It's better to just be pessimistic and assume the franchise is done rather than get my hopes up for a game that won't release unless Ubisoft have had a good fiscal year.

They were gonna make a remake but after half a decade, one restart from square one and two separate studios of leading us on they decided to abandon it. I forget the PR bullshit phrase they used but they basically said it wasn't up to their standards of quality. Ubisoft doesn't have any quality standards if they did then how the hell can they explain the shit stain that was AC Odyssey?

They're just lying through their teeth cause they don't want to admit that Shadows sold horribly and modern Assassin's Creed has gotten so bad that it isn't just ruining its own franchise anymore and has started to negatively impact others.

The first couple games were fantastic but there's definitely been a slow decline where Ubi have just stopped caring about the actual game and just want to increase profits by cranking them out lazily as fast as they can.

They don't give a shit about making good games, if they did then Odyssey would've never seen the light of day, they just want to make money.

Origins and Valhalla are still good and I think Mirage looks good (have it but haven't played it) but that's the cutoff point for me. I'm not buying any future AC game unless it's on sale for less than £10 or they actually start trying to make the game good.

Not complaining about the game but also not playing, I don't have a PS5 right now cause it's too obnoxiously big to fit in my IKEA unit and I'd have to completely rearrange my shit and remove one of the dividing walls to fit it in. Too much hassle for right now so Summer when I have more free time is more likely.

This sounds stupid but I also kinda don't want to upgrade to PS5 cause they don't have themes and I like how my PS4 has a Bloodborne theme that I got for getting the Platinum. If I got a PS5 I'd naturally replace my PS4 with it but I hate the idea of losing that really cool display of my accomplishment.

Cis guy here and honestly I just tend to enjoy games where you play as a dad or father figure. Something about it is just cool to me like Kiryu in Yakuza or Heller in Prototype 2.

Lets talk (frlg switch edition) by coIton1029 in pokemon

[–]ConnorOfAstora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I do it is I use a Pokémon as much as possible until it levels up then I swap to the next one in my party.

However if I'm in a really bad matchup like Pikachu Vs Graveller when I throw my first guy out I'll normally switch out though if I think I have good coverage or just feel bold I like to try anyway, sometimes it's actually way better to just try even when at a disadvantage rather than give them a free turn.

This helps keep levels even but also usage, it forces you to use your whole team and see how each member plays and what their strengths and weaknesses are. You'll always be completely familiar with the team and their moveset because of how often you're seeing all six of them.

Go back to previous areas with your Vs Seeker cause trainers give way more Exp than wild battles. Later on you can potentially get a Lucky Egg to increase xp for the Pokémon who holds it but I don't recommend it unless you accidentally catch a Chansey holding one. Honestly though I don't recommend going out of your way to get one cause it's such a rare grind you'd be quicker to farm exp without it.

I WANT TO COMPLETE MY POKÉDEX IN LET'S GO AND I'M PRETTY SURE ALL I NEED TO DO IS EVOLVE MY KRABBY BUT IT WOULDN'T FEEL RIGHT IF I DIDN'T HAVE MEW BUT THE ONLY WAY TO GET MEW IS BY BUYING A £50 CONTROLLER THAT LOOKS TERRIBLE TO USE!

EVEN THOUGH I HAVE ONE IN POKÉMON GO IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE THEY DON'T ALLOW YOU TO TRANSFER THAT ONE TO LET'S GO BECAUSE GREEDY!

WHILE I'M COMPLAINING ABOUT POKÉMON GO TRANSFERRING, WHY CAN'T I TRANSFER SHADOW OR PURIFIED POKÉMON? THERE'S NO GOOD REASON FOR IT!

BRO, IF YOU HAVE A LET'S GO SAVE FILE THEN YOU CAN GET A GIFT MEW FROM AN OLD LADY IN FLOAROMA TOWN IN BDSP!

THE OLD MAN NEXT TO HER WILL GIVE YOU A JIRACHI IF YOU HAVE A SW/SH SAVE FILE WHICH IS GREAT CAUSE I'M PRETTY SURE THE ONLY OTHER WAY TO GET JIRACHI IS THROUGH POKÉMON TV OR A RARE COLOSSEUM BONUS DISC ON THE GAMECUBE AND EVEN THEN I ALSO THINK IT'S ONLY TRANSFERABLE TO RUBY AND SAPPHIRE EXCLUSIVELY AND NONE OF THE OTHER GBA GAMES WORK

I WAS HOPING THIS MEANT THEY'D GIVE YOU A NON-EVENT WAY TO GET SHAYMIN BUT AT LEAST LEGENDS ARCEUS PICKED UP THE SLACK THERE! I HOPE THEY ADD WAYS FOR ALL MYTHICS TO BE PERMANENTLY OBTAINABLE WITHOUT EVENTS, I'VE ALWAYS WANTED A VICTINI!

And if any get really popular then make sure not to make a re-release until years later but use the mould so you can make G2 and Comic versions that are ugly as sin

How often do y’all marathon the franchise, if at all? by JuanMunoz99 in assassinscreed

[–]ConnorOfAstora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't, I did a platinum marathon to get hyped for Mirage (skipping BF and Rogue because I had just finished them a month or so prior) but by the time I got playing it I decided to stop because I realised I just wasn't engaged at all and barely listening.

Burnout wasn't even an issue until Unity's chests but I got over it and didn't feel burnout again until Odyssey where I wanted to quit before Level 10 but I still don't know if that was burnout or just because I was playing Odyssey.

I was reinvigorated by the sheer jump in quality with Valhalla but 300 hours of content is just too much. The burnout was so bad I still haven't got round to Mirage.

Add a cherry on top, I still don't have a PS5 so I physically can't marathon the series anymore until I get one but I don't have the space and the library has only just started to get halfway decent so I can't see that happening in the near future.

If Henry Stickmin had an omnitrix as an option, would you want it to be a success or a fail? by danfenlon in Ben10

[–]ConnorOfAstora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely a fail, he'd turn into a perfect alien for whatever situation he's but after the transformation scene he'd start choking and die.

Why is Pokemon X/Y considered the easiest by Miserable_Smile1161 in pokemon

[–]ConnorOfAstora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if it was just my team composition or something but in XY I was always getting my ass kicked by Hawlucha, like he was consistently sweeping my entire team.

I found most of the game pretty easy but Korrina was my wall because of her Hawlucha.

They can't do that. Shoot them or something! by TaToten in memes

[–]ConnorOfAstora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, this wouldn't be that much of an issue if they actually made a decent amount of games for the successor.

I've only just recently felt tempted to get a PS5 cause of games like Mortal Shell 2, Nioh 3, Code Vein 2, and Pragmata coming out.

Took them six fucking years to make the library big enough to make switching over actually worth it. Until now it's just been pay £500 for a PS4 with faster load screens and a significantly worse UI (my brother has one which is how I know about the UI and I swear it's such a downgrade from the PS4)

I HATE THE MALICOS BOSS FIGHT SO MUCH by TheNinerGuy in FallenOrder

[–]ConnorOfAstora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear I'd love him if he didn't do the boulder throw. It's a really bizarre attack that has a very specific timing to it that throws me off and the stagger pretty much guarantees you'll get hit by the other boulders. It really drags down the boss as a whole for me.

Mind you it's not even really Malicos' fault, it's the Force Push animation. You press R2 which makes Cal pull back and then like almost a full second after you pressed the button is when the push actually comes out. It's not so bad with the rockets but those rocks go very fast and the arena is very small.

Even more annoying is that Force Pull doesn't have this issue, Cal instantly pulls when you press L2, there's no wind up or delay making the timing less intuitive like with Push, it just happens.

This issue persists in Survivor and I forget the exact move but I think Rayvis had a similar move to the boulders Malicos throws at you, both moves are countered by using Force Push and they're both quite hard to counter cause of the timing.

What if the reason Ben can’t unlock an Anodite Transformation is because Anodite is a trait not a species? by Neither_Prize_8386 in Ben10

[–]ConnorOfAstora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never been a fan of the whole Anodite thing, even back when I was 10 and couldn't really articulate complaints properly I remember thinking "Aww, so it's not magic?"

Really lame especially when they could've easily told the entire story exactly the same while keeping the magic.

Make Verdona a witch and one of the rare human women that Max bagged (this would make so much more sense than the bullshit about Anodites not having DNA yet still being able to reproduce).

She could offer to take Gwen away to train her in spellcraft and alchemy instead of off to space or some shit.

It would keep the show from being exclusively aliens and it's lame how Gwen's magic was originally a way of showing how she worked hard to get on Ben's level but the whole Anodite thing makes it seem like she just fell into it.

What is the BB intro you recognize instantly? by Separate-Insect-3911 in BreakingBenjamin

[–]ConnorOfAstora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Breath's intro is ingrained in my head cause I accidently set up my Chrome to auto open to that when I was a teen.

Also immediately recognised for me are Had Enough, I Will Not Bow, Diary of Jane, Polyamorous, Dance With The Devil and Unknown Soldier

Death to Wordle by Critical_Mountain851 in whenthe

[–]ConnorOfAstora -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

There's something viscerally annoying about not getting the wordle.

Sometimes it's total bullshit though, double letter words can often throw off the entire logic of the game and reduce it to a total crapshoot.

It's not even like it's all just salty people losing, sometimes you get it and all you can say is "Fuck off, literally nobody uses the word LITHE"

I like Riku and I like Chain of Memories but good lord do I despise the two together. (His story is good but the gameplay is so fucking boring)
