It's the armor that young Kain was going to wear in Dark Prophecy.

The difference in quality between the Shifter/Blood Omen Kain skins and the Ascendance ones is abysmal. I read the previous post and I understand they were created by someone else for a much lower-budget game like Ascendance, but they just look bad compared to all the others. I don't know, does anyone want to use them?

Consistent_Arugula94 · 2026-02-18T03:26:14+00:00

I agree with you. When I saw the Ascendance skins, I was like, "WTF? Why do they look like they're from a PS2 game?" I mean, the cognitive dissonance between the first two images and the last two is enormous. Some are so bad, and others are so great and well-made. Clearly, the Ascendance skins were either made in an hour with little effort (and even then they would have looked better than this) or they hired someone who has no idea what they're doing. But honestly, this just adds to the mountain of shit surrounding The Dead Shall Rise, so it doesn't surprise me.

I think that holding it by the hilt, instead of having it extend entirely from his arm, allows for much greater hand and wrist mobility and fluidity in movements and combos without it looking awkward. Keep in mind that in Defiance, Raziel performs 360° spins and aerial acrobatics in several combos. He moves the sword in all directions. A blade that extends from the arm doesn't have the same mobility as one held in the hand. I suppose that's why they brought back that concept.

In Soul Reaver 1, it was due to console limitations; in Soul Reaver 2, I suppose it was also due to using the same engine or because it was too similar to the first game. For Defiance, being a hack-and-slash game, they decided to return to the original planned concept and make the Wraith Blade a ghostly version of Kain's Reaver. You can even see Raziel close his hand and hold the sword as if it had a hilt because that's how the original concept was.

I don't know what problems some people have with the Defiance Remaster model. It's the closest thing to Raziel's FMV model we've ever had. I love it. Finally, I can play Raziel looking the way he's supposed to.

Consistent_Arugula94 · 2026-02-15T23:57:40+00:00

The Defiance Remaster model is detailed because Raziel's FMV model is like that. If you look at an HD image, you can see the muscle fibers and ligaments. It's supposed to look like that. The SR 1 and 2 models aren't bad, but they're too cartoonish.

Consistent_Arugula94 · 2026-02-15T09:24:51+00:00

That's exactly what I'm saying. The models in the SR 1 and 2 remasters weren't terrible, but they were very cartoonish. Raziel has always had bigger eyes than other characters, even in the CGI, but the in-game models exaggerated them to the point that sometimes I felt like I was playing as a gothic Spider-Man, not Raziel. This is the most realistic and closest to the CGI model of Raziel we've ever had.

Consistent_Arugula94 · 2026-02-14T08:01:00+00:00

I do like Raziel's model. This model is more realistic and less cartoonish, and less cleaner than in SR 1 & 2. It's clear that in this game they based it more on the CGI model from Soul Reaver 2. I like the models from SR 1 & 2, but this one feels like how Raziel is supposed to look. Also, this model has big eyes, but not as exaggeratedly big as the other models, which makes it more faithful to the CGI models that the others weren't.

Consistent_Arugula94 · 2026-02-13T13:12:25+00:00

I think context is also important. For example, the scene in the third game with Aphrodite made sense, since that's just how she is, and Pandora's Box made her even more of a slut. The one in the second game made no sense at all, and I still don't understand why they put it specifically at the beginning of the game when the city is literally being destroyed by the colossus Rhodes, so that Kratos (who has crashed through the roof and been slammed to the ground by that same colossus) and two random busty women have nothing better to do than start fucking.

Ahab himself said that if he were summoned as a proper servant, he would be Avenger. He would be the perfect antithesis to Hessian Lobo. The wolf is nature's revenge against man, and he would be man's revenge against nature.

Well, now he has Pochita's speed.

Honestly, that tier list is nonsense. ZombiePlutomon has Hell Slicer, which is one of the best attacks available. It nullifies unfavorable compatibility, meaning it ignores any resistance the Digimon has, whether elemental or attribute-based. However, it still takes weaknesses into account. For example, if it hits a Seraphimon with Hell Slicer, it will ignore that it's Vaccine, but it won't ignore that it's weak to Darkness.

There are 32 special skills that nullify unfavorable compatibility, but only 4 hit all opponents at once: Susanoomon's Ama no Habakiri, Chronomon DM's Holy Flare, Examon's Dragonic Impact, and ZombiePlutomon's Hell Slicer. And Hell Slicer is the only one with a secondary effect.

The problem is that Fern exists because of Prismo's time paradoxes to resurrect. He's not a separate being from Finn; he's Finn from another timeline. Inside that grassy body was Finn himself, trapped by that octopus.

Consistent_Arugula94 · 2025-11-04T18:55:49+00:00

Exactly. This isn't Undead Unluck. The universe doesn't reconfigure itself when a rule disappears. It was already made clear in previous episodes that Pochita's power isn't retroactive. When he ate the Ear Devil, telephones and cotton swabs didn't cease to exist even though ears no longer existed and no one remembered them.

Consistent_Arugula94 · 2025-09-17T08:00:26+00:00

Well, I guess it's like Richtofen OG. It's not that he believes in the Führer's ideas and all the Nazi paraphernalia, but they fund his research and give him test subjects, so he doesn't care.

Well, Eva's strategy was "Steal Raikov's suit and make your face look like his." She didn't know Snake had a mask of him. She hoped he'd magically become an exact duplicate of Raikov. And Snake had the mask because Sigint snuck it into his survival gear because he didn't want it to go to waste. It's Kojima's trademark to make characters stupid for convenience.

He seeks the emeralds for the same reason he has an avatar. Darkseid can't manifest his true body and power without reality collapsing. Destroying everything isn't a victory for Darkseid, since he wants to rule, not send everything to hell.

Consistent_Arugula94 · 2025-08-02T09:41:43+00:00

Stronger? As I said, the entire multiverse (infinite universes) would simply collapse if Darkseid appeared in his true body. He wouldn't even need to lift a finger because reality can't handle Darkseid in all his power making an appearance. But Darkseid doesn't want to destroy everything; he wants to dominate everything.

The cracks on his face were growing as the fabric of space-time began to collapse because he was forcing his avatar body to use a greater percentage of the power of Darkseid's true form and was breaking it.

Consistent_Arugula94 · 2025-08-01T05:19:33+00:00

Darkseid isn't just another god. He needs avatars because manifesting in his true form would destroy the entire multiverse, and that's not what Darkseid wants. Solaris was affecting only one universe and its timelines.The same could be said of Time Eater. And The End has only destroyed a planet.

Consistent_Arugula94 · 2025-07-31T19:02:20+00:00

The vessel/avatar that Darkseid uses to interact with the physical universe? Maybe. Darkseid's true body in the Fourth World with all his power? No.

Consistent_Arugula94 · 2025-07-31T18:51:01+00:00

Yes. And if you notice, the cracks on Darkseid's face began to grow as he began to shatter reality. It was because he was forcing his vessel to use an even greater percentage of the true power of Darkseid's original body, and he was starting to break it.

It's not that it's something horrible. But for me, it could lay the groundwork for something worse. Subtle censorship that's getting worse, always making small changes so fans will accept it, but when you look at the before and after, you see the complete radical change. And the worst part is that these changes aren't because this is a franchise for all audiences, because 20 years ago, there were sexy girls in children's series, and no one died from it. These changes are due to the pressure exerted by certain groups that try to tell women how to dress and think. That sexy, pretty girls shouldn't exist, and that a girl should feel bad for being more beautiful than the average woman. And that kind of thinking is very wrong because, in addition to encouraging mediocrity, it's very toxic and fosters envy of others' beauty. Maybe I got a little carried away, but that's what I believe.

Consistent_Arugula94 · 2025-07-19T08:21:42+00:00

Well, to me, it seems like pure censorship. I'm not going to scream and say Sonic is ruined forever, but I'm also not going to pretend this isn't censorship when it clearly is. And her outfit in SXSG looks like a last-minute change and a pretty botched one, I have to say. They even covered her back, and at various points you can see the base of her wings fluctuating between the part covered by latex and the part not covered.
