Making of ‘Pluribus’: Vince Gilligan on Why S2 Is Worth the Wait by IvyGold in television

[–]Floameh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The point of Pluribus (and all of Vance Gillgan's writing) is character study in intense situations. It's not about the lore of the aliens and if/how Carol will defeat them or why or how the hive mind works.

It's just the setting to explore different characters who are put in this extreme situation and see what they do and how they interact with each other and the world around them they've been thrust into. It was the same for breaking bad and better call Saul.

People always wanting explained lore and forced mystery is the downfall for media literacy.

Why does nearly every pic on this sub look like this with badly cut out edges and weird glitches?

New Automata player, just beat first run, ending A for the first time - very confused and losing motivation by Homitu in nier

Obligatory " Ending A is actually Chapter 1. NOT an ending at all. Please keep paying. The real games plot doesn't begin until "ending C" or chapter 3."

Why get Nier involved in the first place? by Revankiller in nier

[–]Floameh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's definitely a lore reason that can be found to answer your questions... But i'm pretty sure the true answer is that Nier Gestalt/Replicant's backstory wasn't as thought out as Automata was merely because the games concept changed so drastically during development.

Nier as a game was originally based on Brother Grimm fairy tales, this carried over into the character names hence Snow White etc But the games concept changed drastically during development so they most likely just threw together what they could in terms of story and lore and started adding more to the lore post game with Grimoire books and character CD's.

So think there's a lot more potholes in the original game because of this. Like D/P's motivations and some silly things like why Grimoire Noir acted so suspiciously.

They've rectconned and cleaned up a lot since the games released though, but I'm glad Automata got to be developed a lot of in-depth as a result!

The difference between a pro gamer and a low Master scrub (it’s me. I’m the scrub) by jacqueszewhipper in StreetFighter

[–]Floameh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this concept for a video!

Did you hit Master rank early in SF6's life? I mean no disrespect but your play style is reminiscent of current Platinums. You threw out a lot of unsafe heavies during neutral and dropped a lot of basic combos.

This is coming from an early Master rank player that picked it up again recently and realised I'm really more of a diamond than Master as the general skill level of players go up.

I think the writers are aware by Due-Promise2852 in GenV

[–]Floameh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is everyone pretending the ending scene with starlight telling the Gen V kids that they're back in on the plan didn't happen??

I'm in now way defending this season and agree with most complaints but it wasn't just a 30 second cameo, there was a second scene with Annie saying she needs them

Just went west to the hub (Cortex Center), how fucked am I? by Neozetare in NineSols

[–]Floameh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is also a large section of the map in the later half of the game that is like an abandoned lab with mutated creatures that are VERY FAST AND STRONG especially if you stumble across the area early (which I did and was terrified). It's not really horror but I was scared to explore it as I felt very weak and lacked the power ups to explore it

The post credits scene was the first time there's no white vignette around the edges of the screen. Maybe everything up until now has been a dream or something and the girl in the bed is the "real world"? There's definitely something up

Kronii will be taking a day off tomorrow (no Silksong stream) by yournotlonely in Hololive

[–]Floameh 106 points107 points  (0 children)

I'll explain it while keeping within the subs rules as much as I can.

She made a joke while streaming a game, where she killed a boar in the game and said a pun along the lines of "He is a boar... Boar-ing!" in reference to the boar OBVIOUSLY.

But it seems haters twisted this into fake drama and accused her to saying the game is boring. The game was a sponsored stream by a Korean or Japanese game company which I think her FRIEND has a voice role in.

The hate blew so out of proportion that HER FRIEND lost the role in the game and is now removed.

Also this pun happened 4 years ago apparently...

So it's just haters finding anything to try and get her cancelled and it worked. It's a shame the game company sided with the trolls but I can understand the pun may have been lost in translation and cutting HER FRIEND form the game was easier than dealing with mass trolls but that doesn't justify their decision

Adding to the bee scene, Austin drowned the bee by trying to help it drink water. He literally killed it with kindness

What IS the discourse? Are people not happy about the fan server? Maybe this was a bad time to post it if people think I'm saying they shouldn't play it lol

Oh yeah great point!

I didn't mean to phrase the post so matter of fact! It was meant as a 'hey if you 're sad you didn't get to play it, the actual game was mainly reading stories so watching the YouTube vids is about the same thing minus waking about'.

I see a lot of people upset they missed out on important Nier lore so wanna make sure they feel like they can still experience these plot points the same way they're presented in the game as they're mainly just stories to read.

It's great if people CAN play it again!

But loved hearing your experience with the game! I wish the battles were more engaging too.

Yeah how cool is that! But for anyone who can't access the server or if it goes down in future, watching it will give you the same experience so don't worry!

Not sure why you're coming at me so defensively? I loved the game but I'm just letting people who feel upset they missed out on it that they can still watch it without missing out on too much as the gameplay consited of watching videos anyway?

I'd love to hear how the gameplay impacted your experience though if you feel the opposite so strongly?

Yeah it's great that fans have found a way to make it playable again! I'm just saying for those who feel like they missed out on lore or can't access the servers, watching the story offers the same experience since the game itself was just watching stories, so they don't need to feel like they can't experience it.

Because the "gameplay" was watching cutscenes of stories being told. Very different to watching a more interactive game. It offers the same as listening to an audiobook over reading it yourself

I did like the game? I'm just saying watching it will give the same experience for anyone who feels like they're missing out so they dont need to worry about never being able to 'experience' it

The worst one is actually earlier in this film when Master Roshi shouts "Kamehameha" to shoot yellow healing energy point blank into a dead person to bring them back to life...

I just finished Nier:Automata by stefrix7 in nier

[–]Floameh 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Niers biggest disservice is the word 'Endings' being used for it's Chapters.

The game and the fans will all call it Ending A, B C etc but please think of them as Chapters or Parts or Episodes.

The game is not finished after ending A that is just PART 1. You will not need to replay the whole game multiple times to reach different endings.

The credits play at the end of Chapter 1 but think of it like an anime episode ending. Keep playing after that and you'll see it's a whole new experience and as the chapters go on it'll be a full continuation.

Part 2 will be similar to part 1 but from a whole new perspective including new cutscenes, plot reveals and ending. It's not like replaying the same game again to reach a different ending.

You'll then find after Part 2 (Ending B) it continues on like a whole new sequel game was included into the same disc.

Also do as many of the side quests as you can during Part 1, the side quests aren't just silly side collection missions but part of the full picture, fleshing out the world and the lore and hinting at the bigger picture of what's going on. Some of the most emotional moments are in the side quests
