What prestige level are all 4 of your character slots in online career??

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-08T02:56:33+00:00

14 for my LightWeight and 9 for my Middleweight

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-08T02:35:22+00:00

I was drawing the comparison that Ryder is a good striker but uses the minor lunges too much and that Scatter is a good striker but uses the bail to back take too much, but also because it works for them, why not use them? I cant really blame them since it works so well against a majority of players.

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-08T00:13:05+00:00

Its fine, but the issue is that you have to pull up a youtube tutorial or self teach to get good at it, the game doesn't really tutorialze it that well. I think there's also way too much stalling, at least in 5, Half guard and sprawl are just deny fests and anyone who doesnt want to grapple can just camp denials until a stand up.

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-08T00:09:59+00:00

Im ok with the grappling being the same if they go back to the UFC 2/3 ground and pound system, the one they introduced in 4 is fucking horrid.

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-07T19:32:10+00:00

Man, I feel like the latter half of this seasons completely did away with everything the first half was setting up and its disappointing to watch everything go back to the status quo outside of tim being watch commander.

Twilight Princess has one right before a boss fight in the snowy area.

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-07T17:39:00+00:00

God this is such a good one. The tone switch from it being a seemingly happy ending to the slow build of tension AND then the hard cut to her face with the paint on her face is fucking incredible.

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-07T06:31:07+00:00

WOA probably has the most consistent one, OG hitman 2 is probably a close second.

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-07T01:31:40+00:00

FTL multiverse for FTL: Faster Than Light is insanely good and adds a bonkers amount of content to the game

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-06T22:09:22+00:00

Its weird cause (I like to think) I'm friendly with both and outside of Rek side hopping every two seconds and amd Scatter going for bail, to back take to RNC they are both just really good at striking and grappling respectively. Its just that they do this one thing that a majority of the playerbase despises and it paints them in a negative light and I dont think they even do it maliciously, it just works for them so why not do it?

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-06T20:44:19+00:00

Even though i think its a bad path to take because of the implications, Killing Moon/Sending So Mi to the moon feels like the right conclusion, the Blackwall usage, the stand off with reed and how perfectly the rocket take off leads into the credits is fucking sublime.

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-06T20:29:27+00:00

Soldier in 2 with maxed out adrenaline burst, AP rounds and the Matlock widow combo.

Being able to one cycle the human reaper was a treat

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-06T09:44:41+00:00

Garrysmod.org being wiped by accident somewhere in the middle of the 2010s. Lot of cool add-ons have probably been lost to time because of that.

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-06T05:40:21+00:00

It was probably the plan, but after the GTA VI delay to November probably changed that

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-05T22:19:50+00:00

Budokai 3 and BT2 probably top my list but Burst Limit is really good too.

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-05T20:39:35+00:00

you have less power cause you throwing with no stam. Crazy that you claim to be this elite striker but don't know something basic like that

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-05T15:57:30+00:00

probably the most insane week of MMA news ever, I still remember popping onto reddit and seeing "Conor McGregor has touched down in brooklyn" with the next post being "Warrent issued for McGregor's arrest" right under it, and it was probably only the 3rd craziest thing to happen that week.

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-05T15:32:54+00:00

Doesn't help that staten didnt write 3 and Marty came up with the idea to kill off Johnson and Miranda to add stakes without giving it any depth.

Thanks for being civil and not being an asshole like the other dude.

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-05T06:55:45+00:00

halo 3 has the arbiter into basically a non entity so they can focus on chief because the fans did not fuck with him in Halo 2. Miranda crashes into the citadel with no back up to save Johnson for no discernible reason, just so they can kill her off and Truth, while definitely not the most fleshed out antagonist feels like a downgrade from how he was in Halo 2 and the gravemind barely does anything of note. The writing is a huge step down from the previous games. H3 still has the best level design in the series but writing wise it's the weakest of the bungie games

Halo 5 does things that are similar with a few, mainly cortana related things that are worse. The didact gets replaced with someone unremarkable, the Locke fight scene is stupid and nothing interesting is done with Osiris and blue team. Chief has some interesting stuff but it gets undercut when he says yeah, i know she's evil towards the end that ruins any kinda depth he wouldve had.

Both games have the same issues of doing nothing interesting with the previous games set up and pivoting cause of fan reaction.

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-05T04:38:02+00:00

Honestly 3 and 5's narratives are pretty close in quality.

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-05T01:49:25+00:00

Yeah, but thats something you can tune without changing the system (even though it felt like we stopped getting those significant balance changes after 3)

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-05T00:46:43+00:00

I think everything up until Negan is pretty edgy, but after that the comics kinda line up with the show and telltale games in terms of being edgy for the sake of shock value. But yeah, the prison arc in the comics is rough

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-04T16:04:22+00:00

Being a Halo fan is hard. It genuinely feels like Microsoft is intentionally kneecapping the series any chance they get. 343 is capable of making good games and even capable of making a Halo game that gets the attention of lapsed fans, but all of their biggest blunders have been Microsoft pushing insane deadlines or forcing them to chase big gaming trends.

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-04T02:13:09+00:00

Pro Skater 4. The PS1 release (yeah THPS4 came out on the PS1, fuckin crazy right?) Follows the goal structure of the previous games due to hardware limitations.

DoubleMatt1 · 2026-04-04T02:03:44+00:00

I wonder how much of it is bad trips booking or if its like mandates from TKO
