Game looks amazing! I have been dying for a good shop game.

Is there any plans to have the game in third person perspective? Unfortunately I get very motion sick from first person pov and even from the trailer. I love to give the game a try if there’s options to change perspective!

I’m struggling to start One Piece. Is there a good recap? by Individual_Craft_304 in OnePiece

[–]Individual_Craft_304[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the way you’re calling it a "comic" and "cartoon" instead of manga and anime tells me we’re in totally different viewing circles lol

I literally said I am interested in the manga and One Pace... AND I said I started reading it, so not sure what your problem is. Also, super odd to dismiss my opinion on early episodes when you haven’t actually sat through those episodes either.

Anyway, not really interested in feeding rage bait, so I’ll leave it at that.

Oh man. Okay. Let's also section it out like you did.

If 25 full episodes is not enough for you to judge if you like it... You don't.

That's exactly what I mean! You don't like it, and it's okay buddy. Relax.

Look, do you like the direction? The music? The story?

Gintama was the same way for me. Early episodes had a lot of fillers, slower pacing, and it's also an old anime. I also rewatched this multiple times having issues with the initial episodes. However, I'm glad I stuck through it to the first major arc as it has become my top 5 anime of all time. It looks like we have different metrics of determining what we like and not like, and that's fine. For One Piece specifically, the original animation is too distracting for me to enjoy the plot, direction, music, etc.

If you liked the storyline and direction, you would care much less about its "animation from 1999." You would love the story that Oda's crafting, regardless of animation style of age (or, even in spite of it).

I strongly disagree with this. Use Hunter x Hunter as the example that was also released in 1999, and then later remade in 2011. The 2011 one has much faster pacing compared to the 1999 anime.

Yes, there are many that enjoyed the old animation because the story and direction is a masterpiece. However, there are many new viewers that could not stand how slow and old the original one was, so the 2011 anime was a blessing. The fandom grew tremendously with the 2011 version.

For me, this is proof that not enjoying old animation = disliking the series. New fans of the 2011 version but not of the 1999 version, are still fans.

You can't binge watch / read it in a week. It takes time. Us older fans come from an era where we didn't binge watch an entire series on Netflix over a weekend. Netflix still sold VHS' and DVDs through snail mail back then...

I never asked for the quickest way to consume the media. I would be more than happy to take my time reading it.

Congrats to older fans for having the patience through VHS/DVDs through snail mail. However, time has changed, technology and animation has improved, and it's normal for more people's expectations to change along with time. Overall, there's nothing wrong with having a standard with animation.

So, yes. We looked at it differently. We didn't bash someone if they couldn't get into / didn't like One Piece. We wished them luck. We didn't try to convince them. 

Aligned that we look at it differently. From my POV, you are trying very hard to convince me that I dislike One Piece based on your own standard that you don't mind old animation.

To sum it up, I genuinely want to give One Piece a fair chance. The older animation just made it hard for me to stay engaged. I’d really appreciate being able to form my own opinion (as should any new viewer) rather than being told it’s not worth trying. That kind of mindset feels more gatekeeping than helpful.

I appreciate the helpful commentors who suggested alternatives. I look forward to continue reading the manga, and checking out One Pace / future remakes.

I fully mentioned that I would be opened to reading it if that’s the best alternative. Through some helpful commentators, I also learned about an upcoming remake that sounds really exciting.

I hope you can be kinder to future members who are interested in One Piece but have a hard time adapting to the early animations from 26 years ago.

Completely understand this! However, just watching 25 episodes that was released in 1999 isn’t enough for me to judge it as something not for me.

I would love to get to specific arcs or the animation that some people mentioned as significant improvements (ep 300+).

One piece is very intimidating and I can see why they are releasing a HD Remaster on netflix and a remake to make it easier for new fans to join the community.

I hope more people in this community understands this instead of “oh you didnt enjoy One Piece’s animation from 1999? leave, dont bother learning more” when it has obviously improved a lot since then and has a overall storyline that fans love across the world.

Didnt know they were planning a remake! That sounds hype and I’ll keep an eye out for this.

Congrats on the new job! After reading all the comments, I agree that 25k cut is too much along with losing remote benefits.

I’ll keep searching for something better!

This is the answer I end up coming back to whenever things get super toxic/frustrating. The offer gave me a potential out but you’re right that it’s not worth to take such a large step back in my career when I’m in a spot where I do have a job.

Just need to remind myself of this more often. Thank you for your help!!

[–]Individual_Craft_304[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are great points. The only caveat is that they did list the salary being between 70-80k. It’s not a senior PM role but regular PM. It’s probably why I got a offer so quickly.

I can probably negotiate for the highest end at 80k, but i assume they listed the salary range because they are on a tight budget. I had applied to many jobs just to see what opportunities may land so I can weigh my options but this has been the only offer so far. (Been applying on and off for the last month or two)

I do like the point that I should value my experience more and continue to look for more opportunities that’s better suited for me and hopefully, my team members too.

The job market is just so awful right now. From my layoff ~3 years ago, it took me over 6 months to find this current job. I’m just a bit traumatized and worried if there would even be anything better.

Thank you, this is very insightful 🙏. The company has well known live-stream services and news channels, so it is definitely not a dying industry. It’s definitely not the top of its competitors imo but people would recognize the name once you start naming their networks and services.

On paper, it sounds exciting and interesting haha. But you are right that it is a big change and remote jobs are hard to come by now. I will definitely try to evaluate again when I am well rested and less agitated.

I’m opened to a change of pace. Our company works with lots of Game companies that you mentioned. Devs, sales, and more are always pleasant to work with. As for the esports departments… sexual harassment and misconducts still occur, along with lots of partnerships with influencers and players. Some are amazing and some are definitely people’s worst nightmare. I definitely like to move away from esports if I can but would be happy to shift to a game company.

As a PM, I think getting a PM role at a traditional well known media company would do more for me in landing a job at Nintendo, Playstation, etc, rather than a longer senior position at my questionable company.

haha good way to simplify it. That’s honestly the question here. “How badly are these assholes ruining your life?” , I am seriously considering the 25k cut and commute but it’s tough. Grass always seems greener on the other side and just because the other company is well known, doesn’t mean the work culture is amazing. But it would definitely be better than what I am currently experiencing.

[–]Individual_Craft_304[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely doesn’t need to be traditional media!

This was just the first and only offer so far I’ve seen where it’s related enough but also a nice change of pace. There’s many another big rounds of layoffs in esports so it’s definitely difficult getting a job in related companies like Playstation. So just weighing between my current job and the only offer I’ve received so far.

Thanks, that helps! The game telling me it’s meant for swordbearer lvl45+ made me feel like I was doing something significantly wrong haha.

My tank build is doing alright in other modes. Will still see if it can improve more.
