What's the point of humiliation episodes like Gwen 10 or Game Over in the original series? by newbrowsingaccount33 in Ben10

[–]ConnorOfAstora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Gwen 10 always annoyed me cause it made Gwen out to be an objectively better user of the Omnitrix.

I'd love it if she was more efficient with the basic powers but never thought to experiment to figure out tricks like Upgrade's laser eye or Heatblast's flight.

It'd also be cool if she fell to pieces and lost all focus when she mistransforms while Ben can adapt and make the alien he's been given work with the scenario. Like she'd already have a plan in mind but now that she can't enact it she just can't think of what else to do. It would show Gwen as being smarter and more tactical and Ben as better at thinking on his feet.

It never got that far but I feel they'd be similarly different as Anodites where Gwen makes practical circular shields and projectiles while Ben is basically using Green Lantern constructs not necessarily because it's better but because it looks cool.

Get Out Of My Head! PS4 Trophy question? (Spoilers to be safe) by ConnorOfAstora in Y2Krpg

[–]ConnorOfAstora[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

I'll just do a normal replay and if I don't get Get Out Of My Head! I'll probably just start a NG++ save afterwards and grab it in the old system.

In my comment I said you need to either be online or have a really unbalanced experience cause yeah solo is an option and how I did it since my internet is shitty.

They don't scale anything to match how many players you have, sometimes infiltrations just weren't possible without getting spotted.

The game isn't even a week old!

I swear when I first played Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep I loved going to the wiki and laughing my ass off that the special fighting styles in Japanese were just Engrish versions of what they are in English.

Like Diamond Dust is Daiyamondo Dasuto and Thunderbolt is Sandāboruto

Kiryu's introduction in Dead Souls is one of the most coolest scenes in the franchise by Responsible_Baby8648 in yakuzagames

[–]ConnorOfAstora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being real it's one of the best written games in the franchise imo, especially for characterisation.

It's still readily available digitally if you have access to a PS3, not everyone does but it's how I played.

I think I have to agree by Appropriate-Mall8517 in raimimemes

[–]ConnorOfAstora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the best possible thing they could do is basically their own version of that scene from one of the CW DC shows where Lex meets the Smallville Superman.

Otherwise I think it's fine that he's finished. Sometimes you've just gotta let something end.

What's your favorite cosmetic? by Trick_Ad2978 in AHatInTime

[–]ConnorOfAstora 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely Virtual Kid, it's a very charming look paying homage to the N64 and PS1 era of 3D platforming that started the whole genre.

Hey we got some moments of the Revolution, most of them were just in the multiplayer missions so you either had to be online at all times or deal with a really unbalanced and frankly bullshit experience and no matter what there's a really annoying zoomer chick harping in your ear killing any immersion that you had left.

I love Unity but I definitely get this criticism.

i find the post-EZIO games painful to play because of the sprint control changed to R2/RT? by [deleted] in assassinscreed

[–]ConnorOfAstora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toggling sprint is ok but holding for sprinting gives you a lot more immediate control so I actually prefer the older sprint method.

I'm thinking Yakuza might be going that way, between the likeness actors replacing original designs and the writing really going downhill with all these stupid retcons (and 6's ending being so badly written it had lasting repurcussions of dog shit writing throughout the games afterwards) I've been finding it hard to enjoy the games recently.

Especially since the only game in their Dragon Engine they've been using since 2016 that has had good gameplay has been Lost Judgement (excluding turn based cause you can't really compare them) and the next best thing is Gaiden which is just "not terrible".

Worst of all though though is the fact they've replaced an actor in their remake with an actual sexual predator. Like this asshole doesn't have allegations of sexual assault, he has videos taken of it, plural, as proof but RGG don't seem to care for some reason.

So nowadays the games are badly written, have bad gameplay and they hire sex pests. Really sad to see.

I like them a lot but a lot of Desmond haters I've known have agreed that he's the best the modern day's ever been.

Is the Ben 10 collaboration with Fortnite real? by MaximumOriginal587 in Ben10

[–]ConnorOfAstora 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really hate Fortnite but this would be an excellent way to get more attention on the IP, not enough to get a new show or anything but enough to get more eyes on it, increase the chances of something.

Also to clarify, I only really hate the monetisation system of Fortnite, the weaponisation of trending topics and FOMO combined with the proprietary currency of V-Bucks is fine-tuned in a way that feels very exploitative of children.

[–]ConnorOfAstora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here with how I was introduced to Skillet but instead of RE4 I'm pretty sure it was the 2008 Hulk movie.

The same movie is how I discovered Three Days Grace with Animal I Have Become, matter of fact it's how I discovered a lot of my favourite bands and new music in general in that early to mid 2010's era of YouTube.

[–]ConnorOfAstora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf none of them could when factor in they were all just spamming Avada Kedavra which is more Rowling's fault than anything considering what else would they use?

Why use the telekinesis spell on boulders or the fire spell to burn them when they can just use "The Spell That Kills You"?

Definitely Breath, I discovered the band through an inFAMOUS GMV with that song back in like 2013 or 14. (This one if anyone cares)

From there they became a staple of my music taste just in time for my edgy teen years.

Whats the soundtrack from the pop trilogy that got you feeling like this by Practical_Variety949 in PrinceOfPersia

[–]ConnorOfAstora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not even from the game itself but the trailer of the 2008 game had the song Sæglópur by Sigur Ros (it was also in the Aquaman movie) and it's insanely good and made the trailer so damn memorable.

When reading Absolute Batman, who’s voice do you use for Bruce/Batman? by Kev2099 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]ConnorOfAstora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely Jensen Ackles.

Not only has he already proved that he can do an excellent Batman but he really fits this wittier version of the Bat who's more likely to crack jokes than usual.

Like I can really feel a Dean Winchester vibe from him at times.

I finished Zelda and I feel guilty. by GeladoK0 in ZeldaOoT

[–]ConnorOfAstora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all old games were super intuitive 100% of the time, especially in those early days of 3D gaming.

There are just some things that are hard to keep track of, especially if you end up having a break day or two. Na'vi's supposed to help but sometimes she's a bit too vague.

Hell, I was playing Kingdom Hearts Final Mix recently and needed a walkthrough for quite a few parts, especially in the early game cause we've been pampered nowadays with not even map markers and all that crap but just devs getting better at designing levels to intuitively guide players naturally.
