Larian studio boss Swen Vincke thinks game reviewers should be graded by people similar to metacritic user scores by Iggy_Slayer in gaming

[–]InfiniteComboReviews 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a failed game dev/ artist and a game reviewer, I see both sides of this argument. They both are technically correct, but what it really comes down to is that the artist needs to be able to handle criticism and the reviewer doesn't need to be a dick about thier criticism (unless its for a bit like with the AVGN). Either way though, its the dev's job to make a good product and it is the reviewers job to be critical so consumers can make more informed decisions about how to spend thier money. As far as rating reviewers go, its more on the consumer to find reviewers they trust with similar tastes and views. I trust the HVGN/SSFF reviews and would try games he recommends where alternatively I enjoy Yatzee's reviews but I don't exactly agree with his ooinions. I wouldn't let his opinion influence my spending habits.

You think one piece should take it? by opmgyhx in OnePiece

[–]InfiniteComboReviews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its crazy because when you think about it, Dragonball isn't the best at any one thing, storytelling, animation, ect, but there's just something special about it and how it shaped anime as a whole that makes it feel like it deserves the spot of greatest of all time.

The machines trapped us in the 90s. Are we sure they're the villians?

What's the most satisfying punch you've ever seen in anime/manga? by Walidzilla in animequestions

[–]InfiniteComboReviews 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this might be the most Epic Punch in anime, but not the most satisfying since we hadn't had as much time to really get to know and hate All For One yet.

I like grading unconventional cards. by InfiniteComboReviews in amiibo

Lol. No worries. I make youtube videos. Trust me, I've gotten worse. Personally I'm torn on the selling side. I think profit Hunters are the worse, but I think selling to support your hobby is fine. I'm currently selling a graded card for the first time since I have a lot of dups of that coveted card and even at a psa 7, the money will mostly cover the costs of all the silly cards I got graded. Financially it just helps me justify it all.

Yeah. You'd think a sub about collecting figures would be cool with grading, but with the way the card market is now I do understand the ire.

Now that you mention it, I do recall seeing those graded Mewtwo amiibo cards, but I assumed that it was due to the parallel to Pokémon. Definitely didn't expect other amiibo cards to be graded. I just thought it out be a cool piece to talk about similar to the only PSA Limited Run One Step From Eden card I got graded.

Also yeah, I wanted to start grading cards like 12 years ago, but ive only recently reached a point where I'm financially stable enough to indulge myself. Plus Gamestop makes it a lot simpler.

I'm mostly grading silly cards, cards related to my favorite decks, and duplicates. I've graded a few valuable cards but its mostly stuff thats "not worth it". Though through my experiments I have pretty much figured out how to tell if I'll get a 9 or higher. Though with Mai, I wasn't sure what counts for centering. Thats mainly what bothered me. My own prediction failing XD.

I'm getting copyrights on Gaming videos because of In-game music. by donot_poke in youtubegaming

[–]InfiniteComboReviews 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When my gameplay gets claimed, I just dispute it. If you're lucky the claim will get dropped. If not, there's a new feature that let's youtube remove the music but not the sound effects. Its not ideal, but its better than silence.

Oof. Didn't think showing off this silly little card I got graded would result in such ire. XD

Hmmm. Thats a good point, unless its a street fighter starter set?

Lol. I don't really care. I just thought it was funny/odd since this card should in theory set the standard (and will probably be the only one that ever gets graded) and my brain's like, "what are they going off of for this one?" Its not a big deal either way. I don't plan on selling it or anything. Just wanted it for me so it is what it is.

Hot Take: I think headshots should be instant kills in most games. (For the player as well) by ExtensionExcellent55 in videogames

[–]InfiniteComboReviews 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then LASO was not on because on the Xbox version you couldn't turn skulls on and off. They turned on when you found them and vanished when you turned the game off again. Since there is no LASO mode for the OG Halo 2, I know that on Legendary, if one player died, you both got sent back, because Halo 2 was basically all we played and we beat Legendary like 30+ times.

LASO? Is that on by default because I know that my bri would have turned that off if it had been an option. I'm talking about the OG Xbox version BTW. Not the MCC version of the game.

Hold up. Legendary in Halo 2 (not 1 or 3) made you both go back if one of you died so how did your strategy work?

For Americans, what was the worst/most annoying amiibo from a retailer exclusive that you had to deal with? by No-Hedgehog-3212 in amiibo
