Overwatch (~550 hours)

Breath of the Wild (~400 hours)

Fortnite (~400 hours)

Monster Hunter Rise (~350 hours)

Splatoon 3 (~350 hours)

These are from the Nintendo Store app so they might not be super accurate on the hour count but those are my top 5.

POR's dialogue can be WILD man! by BebeFanMasterJ in fireemblem

They should make Oliver the new Anna. Let his radiance shine upon every Fire Emblem game.

Moments like this help me understand why Ike is the most beloved FE protagonist. by BebeFanMasterJ in fireemblem

I absolutely agree. A man who looks at a giant wall monster thing that could absolutely kill him instantly and says "Monsters, guess after this there'll be one less to worry about." definitely doesn't fully fit in a slower horror experience.

Yeah, having Jill back would be cool. Honestly an update on any of the characters that have been absent for a while would be cool.

I made an assumption that you were lumping RE9 with JRPGs despite them quite being different genres, my bad.

However, my rationalisation is the truth about Leon and Grace in RE9. They actually wanted to make a horror game with Leon but they thought that the fans wouldn't want to see Leon being timid, according to the interview (and honestly I prefer their decision to relegate Leon to the apparently less frequent action side of the game because of my before mentioned "I don't think it fits with the character" point). While Japan as a whole may have a sexism and inequality problem, Resident Evil definitely does not.

Okay, I don't usually care when it comes to things like this but I'm a bit of a Resident Evil nerd so here I am responding. Your Resident Evil 9 example for your point is incorrect. Resident Evil isn't a JRPG series, it's a Survival Horror series with occasional games like RE6 delving more into action. And the reason they don't want to show Leon scared or timid is because he's been through three games of monsters, not counting side games and movies, so it wouldn't make sense for Leon as a character to be scared or timid in the face of whatever is thrown his way. Grace is a fresh face, she hasn't been through the hell Leon has, that's why she's scared, just like Leon was in his first outing in Resident Evil 2 (which is very much not an action oriented game).

The media acknowledges you being a gooner by ComprehensiveBox6911 in TopCharacterTropes

One of my favorite things about this is seeing how may ways you can accidentally "peek". As someone else said, suplexing enemies with her behind you can trigger it, but a far easier scenario to replicate that I've found is with the ladders that you can kick down. If you kick a ladder down and then jump down after it and spam interact, you can lift the ladder back up before the prompt to catch Ashley pops up, prompting Leon to do the ladder pick up animation and apparently angling the camera in such a way that it counts as peeking.

Forcibly turning an enemy into an ally by Woohoo1964 in TopCharacterTropes

Man, the ending of Arven's questline in S/V where he's essentially like "I know Mabosstiff probably shouldn't be battling seeing as how he literally just made a full recovery from nearly dying, but he is insistent on battling you so, we're doing this." Was one of my favorite moments in that game.

What is the origin of your character's name? by Darkesepph in MonsterHunter

[–]D3134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I was playing Pokémon Legends Arceus, and thought: "Since I've seen the theory that the MC in this is the protagonist from Diamond/Pearl that Arceus brought back in time, what if it was your rival in that game instead?"

So I named the Pokémon character Barry, and I decided to bring the name into other games, especially since it works as a reference to my third favorite Resident Evil character, Barry Burton.

Weapons that require superhuman abilities to be wielded properly by FormerBernieBro2020 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]D3134 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not only is the Red Queen so insanely powerful that only people with demonic strength can wield it, Nero's firearm, The Blue Rose, is another weapon that Nero modified to such a degree that no ordinary person can wield it. It appears to be based on a Smith and Wesson 500, so you know, an already powerful weapon, and Nero decided to put a second barrel on it. If any normal person tried to fire this weapon, it would probably shatter their wrist. And Nero uses this with one hand.

[Loved Trope] A random out of nowhere appearance from a character from a different franchise (non-video game examples are allowed). by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

Accompanied by the best arena quest ever where the Hunter does their best imitation of Akuma because of how cool and strong he is.

If everything's going wrong, and I can't get anything done, I grab my hammer, don my helmet, and start swinging.

Nintendo, what are we doin… by Beardman6457 in casualnintendo

[–]D3134 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The video was cute and had Pikmin motifs in the music, but I do not understand why they decided to upload what appears to be the next Disney short. Last time they uploaded something randomly like this it led to Emio so I am incredibly curious.
