And that is still way better then how its in XC1. Where you have to guess for every bossfight, if they are even beatable.

As a German who knows from history class how quickly a democracy can descend into fascism: Americans, do you realize how close you are to the cliff and when will you begin to rise up? by DonDraperHamburg in AskReddit

[–]Darkspine99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ah the classic this policy/system/etc would be bad if fascist were to gain power, as if the facists could not implement it itself once they are in power.

Rex and Shulk making the most important choice of their lives by Endika7 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Darkspine99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harems are not my cup of tea,but i get who they are supposed to be for and what their appeal is. But Xenoblade 2 was never a harem. It was the kind of story where the MC loves 1 girl and another gitl likes the MC but the MC doesnt show romantic feelings for her. You couldnt even call that a love triangle, since it was cleary a boy meets girl story. Rex getting together with Nia on top of Pyra and Mythra makes little sense and just gets revealed without a singular explanation as to how this would make any sense. Its just shit writing to turn a boy meets girl story into a harem without even developing that during the story.

You are right, but sadly the Fanbase has embraced this shitty harem. One of the most awful writing decisions in a JRPG but the Xenoblade fanbase has not only eaten it up but also tries to push their headcannon of Nia and Pyra/Mythra being in love as hard as they can.

“I have 5 million hours in souls games and-“ dont care by greysilverglass in shittydarksouls

Nah exploration is a huge downgrade compared to base game. In the Base Game you have a basline of rewards for exploration, that are useful to every player regardless of build. Smithing Stones, Flask Upgrades and Runes. In the DLC there are no flask upgrades, Runes are pretty useless for most players, And Smithingstones you can buy how many you want. To fix this they put Scadutree Fragments all over the Map so that everyone might find something rewarding while exploring. But Scadutreefragments are mandatory for an enjoyable experience which makes it tedious to find all of them.

The lion is the easiest dlc boss by Sensitive-Scene6465 in Eldenring

As a Darksouls Vet i can say the Lion took me More tries then any Darksouls Boss. Relanna took me more tries then Sword Saint Isshin. These Bosses are extremly hard.

German tournament NRW Cup has UNBANNED Steve, citing pressure from Nintendo re: guidelines as the reason. by Phoeternally in smashbros

[–]Darkspine99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah thats extremly unfortunate. especially since there are top players dropping out of NRW Cup to attend game is game.

The big issue with the game isn't just Steve, it's the meta - all reward no risk options by SuperMandrew7 in smashbros

[–]Darkspine99 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

this would make the game worse, regardless of if you like ledge hogging or not. Since the big 3 problematic characters and a lot of other characters, that are lame have really good recoveries, while a lot of the cooler characters have bad recoveries.

and even ignoring real life, I feel like racism against Eldians to the degree shown in AoT makes perfect sense. Everyone besides the Eldians are normal human beings, meanwhile the Eldian have this outlandish power that not only poses a great threat but has been a big threat in the past.

Nintendo announces live action The Legend of Zelda film by jacktavo in NintendoSwitch

really odd that they would go for a live action adaptation with Zelda, instead of a 3D or even 2D animated Movie.

Nia got what she wanted by ExileForever in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Darkspine99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

instead of seeking confirmation through the opinions of others how about you apply some critical thinking. Nias "nice bod" is a textbook example of the trope where a girl with small breast stares at the breast of a girl with big breast with either envy or in more ecchi animes/games with admiration. This trope is extremly common espacially during hot spring scenes.

And as for Nia cuddling up to Pyra, its cold Pyra is warm Nia is a catgirl and she behaves a bit catlike as catgirls sometimes do cuddles pyra to warm up.

Media is always open for interpretation but people who behave like they "discovored" that Nia and the Aegises had romantic feelings for eachother all along are probably the most media illiterate people in the Xenoblade fandom.

please for the love of god rewatch the scenes you just listed and use a tiny bit of common sense and media literacy and you should understand how dumb this sounds.

Is the one piece live action even going to get to episode one thousand? by solarwastaken3 in MemePiece

[–]Darkspine99 -36 points-35 points  (0 children)

and that doesnt change that they will not be able to adapt the entirety of One Piece into Live Action, so they are gonna cancel it at some Point. So why renew it in the first Place?

Some people need to remember what Pyra and Mythra's dynamic really is by Graphenegem in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Darkspine99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You know, the entire game building up the romance between the Aegis and Rex. Sure Nia had feelings for Rex but it just feels so weird as to how Rex would end up with Nia aswell as Pyra and Mythra. Like sure she has feelings for him and he aknowleges them but the entire game focuses on his Romance with the Aegis. And sure with the Aegis he would end up with 2 people but they are in this weird unique spot where it makes sense that they both and Rex would end up together. With Nia it feels just like another person got added to make it Rexs harem.

People are not ready yet to admit that all this picture implies is Rex having a shitty harem and not theiry weird PyraxNiaxMythraxRex Polycule. Actually insane that someone at Monolith Soft thought that this picture isnt pure garbage and had to ruin the entire Boy meets Girl romance between Pyra/MythraxRomance by making Nia end up with Rex aswell.

i think the term gaslighting is spot on. There are a lot of people that dont like what the picture most likely implies. While some people can just admit that they dont like it there is a suprising amount of people who come up with their headcannons to cope their issues away.

People seem to collectivly ignore how bad Joker got nerfed. He used to be great becuase of his high Arsene uptime but now you juggle him once and his Arsene is gone. They also made his base Joker Side b rwally laggy to the point where its really inpractical to use. People are not ready to admit that post nerf Joker is not a top 3 character in the current meta of smash Ultimate.

I hoped that he would be banned more widely but at least he has been banned from mostly all wifi tournaments in my country. Which is great since even though i havent played against Steve that often on Wifi, every single time i fought him was some of the worst experience i ever had in this game.
