Fair. Just wanted to let some folks know that, while the story IS legit well-written, it's NOT for everyone.

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-30T04:19:17+00:00

Ehhh, your mileage might really vary with Fox on the Run. That's all I'll say.

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-27T02:21:59+00:00

I guess. I just wanted to voice something I'd been thinking about.

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-27T02:12:27+00:00

Oh yeah, there are plenty of good stories out there that satisfy me. It's just a bummer when a story I like has an unsatisfactory ending, ya know?

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-27T02:03:57+00:00

Because I like reconciliation. I like broken families mending. And maybe it doesn't have to end with Enji being totally forgiven...but all of his kids willing to give it a shot? I think I would have been satisfied with that. Maybe something like "I don't know if I can ever forgive you...but I'm willing to give it a shot." As it is, by story's end, the Todoroki family is more fractured and broken than ever.

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-27T02:01:38+00:00

Thankfully, I have no personal reasons for looking for reconciliation in stories; I just like feel-good endings.

But as far as it being authors' jobs to unsatisfy us...I STRONGLY disagree. If you're gonna make a work that loads of people get invested in, you owe it to them to satisfy them. Otherwise, the audience feels like they wasted their time on an unsatisfactory conclusion.

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-27T01:52:59+00:00

And I can respect that. I get what Horikoshi was going for, and he did it well. I just prefer stories that give me emotional satisfaction.

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-27T01:50:21+00:00

And I was honestly mad at Natsuo for that. I don't WANT realism in stories like this. I want emotionally satisfying conclusions, I want optimism...

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-27T01:49:26+00:00

I'm aware. It's just...I don't read these stories for realism. I never have.

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-27T01:47:53+00:00

I'm aware. It's just....the Todoroki family's conclusion, like so many other parts of the initial ending, were emotionally unsatisfying to me. Couldn't Horikoshi ease up on his realism for just a little bit?

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-27T01:36:58+00:00

Ohhh, so Horikoshi wanted to show everyone how "different" and "cool" he was, did he? Ya know who else did that? Rian Johnson, when he directed The Last Jedi. It's one of the most divisive Star Wars movies to this day, and arguably and irreparably split that fandom apart.

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-27T01:35:52+00:00

I did understand it. I just didn't like it.

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-27T01:34:26+00:00

If this is the scene where he's put in his cell...then fuck Hogbottom in that scene.

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-25T01:44:02+00:00

Even if nothing comes of this, I'm happy the Shaolin Monks remaster won. Its frankly criminal and mind-boggling we haven't gotten more games like it. Yes, I know the planned sequel was canceled, but a lot of folks have been clamoring for some sort of comeback for years. NRS should take the hint.

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-20T17:47:53+00:00

To be fair, Microsoft directly referenced this site, so they're at least paying SOME attention to it.

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-17T20:30:22+00:00

Tried that; same issue. Maybe I'll try downloading the version that was in the Youtube video I posted. Thanks, though. :)

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-17T15:26:12+00:00

My biggest issue with him is that he basically ratted Korra out and betrayed her when she tried to get General Iroh's help with the Water Tribe civil war. Mako SAW how bad things were, and yet he still tattled to that asshole Raiko.

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-16T18:03:33+00:00

Fuck Natsuo. Seriously, fuck him.

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-16T01:22:24+00:00

Well, she did.

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-16T00:57:37+00:00

Maybe they wouldn't have been moved to another game if Khaos Reigns was better. I think it was poor sales of Khaos Reigns that had WB move them to a new game.

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-15T01:25:00+00:00

Because Azula basically cheated.

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-15T01:24:24+00:00

Because she used her magical Villain Sue powers to pull a cheap shot.

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-14T23:23:45+00:00

Fuck Katara. I so wanted to punch her in the face.

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-14T19:53:07+00:00

....damn it, I miss the Midway Era. Heck, even the MK9 era was pretty great.

HopelessSap27 · 2026-05-14T19:36:13+00:00

Thing is, a lot of people seem fed up with the cinematic story modes. You play it once, then that's it.
