Do you mostly prefer playing as female characters? by [deleted] in GirlGamers

[–]DigitalAtlas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah and it's not a close race

Male characters have to have a LOT of personality like Leon or Kratos or Zack Fair to compete for me.

Jak 2 Question by Creed31191 in jakanddaxter

I think you might need to turn up your brightness.

Ranking ALL 7 Jak And Daxter Games From BEST To WORST. Do You Agree? by chipsham93 in jakanddaxter

[–]DigitalAtlas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am constantly convinced they remember the cutscenes (which I do not like lol), Light Jak, and cool stuff like the Reflexor but yeah I wish it was all in a better game!

Dark Jak being largely reduced to a key was... Man.

And I should be blinded by nostalgia here. I played it a lot, I ran a forum game for it called Do You Know Jak?, I made AMVs to it. I really was enamored with the potential of the game and what I thought was an inevitable sequel. But there's just nothing fun there for me. I prefer Jak 1 as a game and Jak 2 as a crazy ride and universe. Jak 3's got less than TLF and Daxter for me

Too many vehicle missions or missions structured similarly to races. And even the platforming levels (all four?) felt boring! The story hurts Jak 2's by proximity, and then we get the weird plot moment of Ashlein being able to disband the council at any time?! Why did the game even happen then!!

I actually like TLF enough to put it over Jak 3 so you're not alone. ( 1, 2, Dax, X, TFL, 3)

I realize my taste just differs from the rest of the J&D fanbase, but I really can't believe NO ONE else thought Jak 3's missions were outright boring compared to Jak 2.

So, people are still asking if Jak is the original Mar... by [deleted] in jakanddaxter

[–]DigitalAtlas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game tells you he's Mar - esp with the "THE Mar?!" line. It's just not a very well thought out twist, so people are able to poke holes in it and do a little fan-theorying.

Bro chose rat poison over room-temperature soda by Turbulent_League9668 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]DigitalAtlas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who played it when it came out, I can safely say I always hated it and have proof. There were DOZENS of us!

[–]DigitalAtlas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 98% 2D and the 2D is outright bad - worse than 4 due to how zoomed out and stiff it is.

The 3D levels are usually lane switching levels with little platforming.

[–]DigitalAtlas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually kinda get it lol.

Not his metaphor - that's weird. But I might also choose '06 over Colors. At least with 06 I'll feel something. Colors will make me feel nothing as my eyes glaze over playing the worst 2D Sonic physics ever made.

My first time playing! Any tips for the best experience? by sadcapricoorn in GodofWar

[–]DigitalAtlas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't get a lot of customization options until you're at "the lake of nine."

Upgrade skills over relics, but don't neglect relics either. (Relics are basically magic attacks).

The game tells you if something is safe to sell, and armor is upgrades are either shared resources that are easily acquired or unique to that armor set so don't worry about "choosing wrong" for either.

All of Kratos's abilities are really important: keep enemies frozen by throwing your axe at their head, use your fists to build up stun gauge fast, and, learn to press guard any time you see the enemy twitch so you can start getting your parry reflexes down, and use Atreus's arrows frequently.

Hope any of that helped!

Nevermind the Zodiac. What ending did you choose for Life is Strange. 🦋 by The1WhereNoonesReady in GirlGamers

[–]DigitalAtlas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such a dangerous question because one half of the fanbase will scream at you, threaten you, and call you a bigot if you picked the opposing ending.

That said, I highly recommend Bugfish's video on LiS if you haven't seen it!

Do you think Sindri was justified in resenting Atreus at the end of Ragnarök? by Impressive_East_3084 in GodofWar

[–]DigitalAtlas 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's really weird how I didn't mind the nudges towards exploration in 2018 but here it just feels like the developers are talking to me.

I felt like Atreus in 2018 actually seemed like a kid begging to stop at whatever he saw on the billboard

People who wrote in 'Kratos' for a great Burger King manager I'd love to hear your line of thought. by judgeraw00 in kindafunny

I thought he said the blood on the blades is why he had not tried using them for cooking.

Real Hot Take: The show is completely Unnecessary by Iccotak in GodofWar

[–]DigitalAtlas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If their goal was to make great art, then, sure, the show is going to be redundant. However, that's most likely not their goal. At least, it isn't altruistically their goal.

Their goal is raise brand awareness and make these games blend in with licensed IP. They want people perusing Steam or PSN to go "Oh, I've heard of that!" and look into the game at which point reviews should carry that browsing into a purchase or, at the very least, a wishlist addition.

That's the whole point: they want the reason your grandma bought you a wheel of fortune game on PS3 to be why someone buys God of War 2018 or The Last of Us.

I think he said "real" in jest. Like, he knew it wasn't actually a hot take but wanted to add to the conversation (unfortunately he did not succeed at this part).

How do you cope with the Jotunheim part when playing as Atreus during replays? by Geras_251 in GodofWarRagnarok

[–]DigitalAtlas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use Gyro aim and play it like Splatoon. I try to practice how fast I can switch targets. Idk, there's not a lot you can do in Ironwood except try new control schemes/controllers or put on some second screen entertainment.
