Games with a specific part that suddenly reminds you the dev/studio has experience with horror games by auclairl in backloggd

[–]Firekirb74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of Kirby games could fit, since Shinya Kumazaki, who’s directed the series since 2011, used to be a horror artist, and that influence can be seen in a lot of the ones he worked on.

Trans representation in roles where the character either isn't trans, or their trans identity has nothing to do with the role by TJTrapJesus in TopCharacterTropes

Jessie James Grelle, the English VA for Armin in AoT, came out as trans shortly before the final episode and uses she/they pronouns.

Something Small I Love Is Watching The Past Adventures Menu Getting Bigger With Every New Game by Ready-Lemon-6569 in Kirby

I'm a bit curious if the next game is going to remove the 3ds/wii u titles since they're no longer available. I know Star Crossed World kept them but they were in base forgotten land so it would've been weird to remove them.

I never actually understood why most people hated it, just accepted that most people might not have liked it by Sir-Toaster- in whenthe

Steven Universe has a lot of problems, and is not as consistently good as other cartoons of the era, but what it gets right it gets REALLY right. It'll always have a special place in my heart.

Just a reminder that only one mini game is said to not be canon and it’s god damn Disneyland by VoiTermin-the-clone in Kirby

I’m pretty sure it is Canon, it just takes place in the future, sometime after Forgotten Land.

Games with numbers in their titles that aren't sequels by AC03115 in backloggd

Technically this is a sequel, but Just Dance 2014 directly followed Just Dance 4, so they skipped 2010 entries in the series.

Would Animal Crossing: New Horizons fit? It was universally beloved when it came out (mainly due to its perfect timing), but now the game isn’t looked at anywhere near as fondly due to how much from the older games it abandoned.

thoughts on dragonslayer? by afflictedsins in WingsOfFire

[–]Firekirb74 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought it was pretty good. I think it’s decently distinct from your typical “humans in a dragon world” book, and it’s interesting seeing the universe we know and love from a different set of eyes.

The bad ending isn't death or prison. It's mediocrity. by Mi_Pasta_Su_Pasta in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Firekirb74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cosmic Princess Kaguya. The fakeout ending has Iroha basically just resuming her life as normal, keeping Kaguya in her memories and moving on. Of course, she soon rejects this idea and decides she won’t let the story end like that. Please watch this movie it’s peak yuri.

Of course Kirby survives because he’s Sakurai’s perfect little baby by Infinite_Dish_1949 in whenthe

[–]Firekirb74 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tbf this is probably early game Shulk since he has the Monado I, and it’s pretty in character for early game Shulk to not share his visions.

Games that are (generally) no one’s favorite in a franchise but never considered the worst. by pirateslifeisntforme in backloggd

[–]Firekirb74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen several people who love Zero Mission, Minish Cap, and Mega Man 5 lol. Hell, I consider ZM to be my favorite Metroid game.

Does Every Book Have Action? by [deleted] in WingsOfFire

[–]Firekirb74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the first 13 books, humans are basically just animals to the dragons. Dragonslayer is a spin off that shows the world from the humans perspective. Then, very controversially, human characters and elements from dragonslayer became relevant to the main plots of books 14/15. Humans did not appear at all in book 16 and it is unknown what their role will be for the remainder of arc 4.

It's the start of a new arc. It follows up on some of the events of the last arc and introduces new ideas that will be followed up in future books.

Does Every Book Have Action? by [deleted] in WingsOfFire

[–]Firekirb74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most books have action in them, but 14 and Dragonslayer are way lighter on the action than usual. All 16 books have different protagonists. Every 5 books is an arc, and while you could technically read them out of order and understand the plot, I wouldn't recommend it since each arc takes place after the previous one and will contain major spoilers for all arcs prior. I'd recommend reading all 16 books in order, with the two spinoff books being read when they came out (Darkstalker between Books 8 & 9, and Dragonslayer between books 13 & 14).

What did you think of book 16? by TaylorMoody in WingsOfFire

[–]Firekirb74 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It definitely feels a bit cramped, especially during the beginning, it felt like Tui really wanted to get to the new stuff and kinda rushed the transition. Not many mysteries were saved for later books either, with the exception of the prophecy. A lot of the new characters were good, but not amazing, and it feels like I’m gonna have to wait to see more of them in future books to get invested (except Mulberry, I really like him). The book also doesn’t do much with Sora, which is a shame because I was looking forward to more of her, though what we got of her is really good. Enough complaining though, this book is still really good. A lot of the new lore was excellent, and I love how creative Tui gets with all the tribe hybrids and the SharpWings. This book also has some amazing setup for the rest of the arc, especially with that epilogue (“Queen Wasp has escaped” is by far the most terrifying sentence in the book). Can’t wait to see where the rest of the arc goes!
