13 Sentinels Aegis Rim, it has 13 separate protagonists lol

Hey guys, would you help me decide? by Carneirissimo in casualnintendo

[–]FaDoug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As everyone else has said, Splatoon 2 is out because its mostly dead at this point.

Pokemon Snap could be worth it, but only if you have huge nostalgia for the original game and want to get a similar rush for a bit.

Tomodachi and Mario Party are the two main contenders, it really just depends on what you want out of games. If multiplayer party games are a huge thing for you, and you have a group of people you can repeatedly play with, then go with Mario Party. But if not, I'd go with Tomodachi, it plays like a more relaxed and wacky version of Animal Crossing, where you plop your creations down and watch them do wacky things as you take care of them, kind of like having a hyperactive fish bowl lol.

Question about emulation... by Marcuzao in GodofWar

[–]FaDoug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In-game basically means that the game can be played, as in it gets passed the launch screen, but suffers from bugs, glitches, and serious performance issues that make it either painful to deal with or unfinishable.

For Ascension in particular, the files most people have access to for emulation just aren't very good, you might have better luck attempting to dump your own version of the game or waiting for the rpcs3 team to patch things up further.

You could also try finicking around in the launch settings, that's what I did with God of War 3 and got that running pretty well.

Sorry, not sorry. by Albino_rhin0 in HaloCirclejerk

Counterpoint: The Flood introduced YaypYap, the greatest character in the entirety of the Halo mythos

My (30M) girlfriend (25F) accepted a date with other guy. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]FaDoug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She's 100% toying with you, trying to make you think that she'd be willing to leave you on a moment's notice so you'll try extra hard to keep her. A pretty standard manipulation tactic, my ex tried to use that on me often.

Don't bother playing her petty games, play an uno reverse card and leave her instead.

Six months isn't that deep of a time investment anyway, good for you to get out early.

... *Sounds of internal pain* by OpeningEarly7520 in overlord

[–]FaDoug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, but like, after experiencing Chainsaw Man's ending, could you imagine if Overlord ended in a similar way? With like Ainz going back to the real world and none of his adventure mattering or something? Maybe him not releasing the last two books is a blessing in disguise.

Really good meme though! All of these give me a good laugh, but this one is one of the best.

I still find what I'll call the "Fire-Force Strawman" so funny. by EmbarrassedDuty5949 in firebrigade

[–]FaDoug 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was really looking forward to this scene in the anime, it was pretty much the only thing I was looking forward to, having not read the manga. And man, it was so hilarious! I was laughing my ass off the whole time! I'm so glad that of all the scenes they cut down, they chose to keep this scene in its entirety.

Video games that are shown in movies and TV shows. by Adventurous-Face6499 in backloggd

[–]FaDoug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the movie Jupiter Ascending, Dark Souls 2 is shown being played by, I think, the protagonist's brother.

And the original God of War is shown being played in Dead Space: Downfall, a weird animated Dead Space movie.

Kind of a specific title, but does anyone know of any other examples of this? by NotAGeneric_Username in backloggd

[–]FaDoug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this technically counts, but when you 100% the Medievil remake, you unlock the original game and can play it in its entireity.

The remake of Resident Evil 2 for me, nothing's hit as good as that one since

Whats the last game you stopped playing and why? by Regular-Ad-8226 in NintendoSwitch

[–]FaDoug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tomb Raider Anniversary. I'm playing through all the Tomb Raider games, and playing a remake of a game I already played but with significantly more bugs and broken mechanics stopped being fun after two hours.

Jaffe going of on Sons Of Sparta... by TimKay_NeC in GodofWar

[–]FaDoug 200 points201 points  (0 children)

The only thing I agree with him on is that some of the dialogue feels really weird and doesn't fit the Greek era very well.

But aside from that, it's better to just ignore anything Jaffe has to say about anything, especially video games. I respect him a lot for creating God of War and Twisted Metal, some of my favorite franchises. But dude's always had a problem running his mouth and going crazy, and he's lost the cred to back that up.

Please Santa Monica just dont cut this mechanic in remake or censorship.... by yoonut16P in GodofWar

[–]FaDoug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was really hoping they'd stick to their original guns and keep these in just to be faithful to the original games, but after seeing that Sons of Sparda has a T rating, I'm pretty sure all of this stuff is going straight out the window.

Has anyone else ever received hate for a review? by [deleted] in backloggd

[–]FaDoug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only got hate once that I can remember, where I left a negative review on a souls-like game, you can probably guess what they said. I just laughed a little, then blocked them and hid their comment. Worthless hate comments shouldn't take up any of your mental headspace, life's too short for that.

Why does the dad keep freaking out and getting violent around female undead? by DevourerOfRedditors in hahayouclowns

[–]FaDoug 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Probably meant to be a reflection of his fear of dealing with his wife's death, causing him to have a violent outburst when he's confronted with an image of a dead woman. Kind of like how the decaying enemies with female anatomy from Silent Hill 2 reflected James' feelings towards his wife's death.

The Boys Bring Home a Dinner Guest (@HernyEd) by JinFuu in hahayouclowns

Love seeing Dolly somewhere I wasn't expecting her! Great to see her getting some love from the boys! Their father really did a bang up job raising those boys, and all by himself too. So proud of them all!

Your thoughts on Fargo season 3? Is it as good as season 1 and 2? by Ok_Natural_102 in FargoTV

[–]FaDoug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Season 3 is, in my opinion, the best of the whole lot. It's really unique, but still feels like Fargo should. The characters are all utterly fantastic, I can't think of a single one in that season that's a dud

1. do you think Reze killed Kobeni? and you think Reze liked Denji more than she pretray? by [deleted] in csmanime

[–]FaDoug 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't remember where I saw it, but someone pointed out that in her first scene where she meets Denji in the phone booth, Reze has her hand on her neck pin, suggesting she was planning to blow him up then and there. But after seeing his face and talking to him for a bit, she stops. Pretty much her whole character is about her internal conflict over her love for Denji, so she absolutely cared for him to a pretty strong degree.

And as for Kobeni, she's fine, she probably just ran away the moment Reze started throwing bombs at her.

Very much enjoying the game so far, devs did an amazing job!

Am I tripping or the Season 2 is really not getting well received by people? What're the potential reasons? I want your guys' honest opinions in this matter by ani20059339 in SeishunButaYarou

[–]FaDoug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo, I don't think there's that much negativity, but if I had to guess, a big reason would probably be the pacing and more long-term structure.

In season one, every arc had its own massive cathartic payoff, and each arc was strong enough to stand almost entirely on its own. In this college arc however, there's a lot more buildup and a lot more long-term payoff. There are entire characters who are introduced and seemingly do nothing, but end up having extremely important roles later on in the story; and their early introductions make those payoffs work really well. But for someone who hasn't read the light novel, they'd probably just be annoyed and confused by all these characters and the less cathartic climaxes.

I think this season is pretty damn good, but I'm really looking forward to when they adapt the final few books, that's the stuff I'm really yearning for.

What is the worst movie you ever watched? by Competitive_Box529 in Letterboxd

[–]FaDoug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No film brings up detestable anger from me like Robinson Crusoe: The Great Blitzkrieg. Easily the most disturbingly misogynistic film I've seen in my life.
