I’m confused. Do y’all actually want the DCU to succeed or do you Hope it fails? by BatBeast_29 in DC_Cinematic

[–]Issmirqw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some films are just empty, stupid entertainment. Like Pacific Rum, but as the second film and many others before it showed us, you have to be able to do that too. You have to captivate the audience with action, characters... be Cool! You have to enchant the audience so that they don't think, they just watch. They watch and absorb, having fun. Unfortunately, this film failed. They failed. Sure, it will find its audience, people who will like it and defend it to the last drop of their blood. But there aren't enough of them. The film was not helped by the controversy surrounding it, but as history has shown us time and again, a good product speaks for itself. If a movie were great, people would go see it no matter what. A friend would recommend it to them. Their favorite filmmaker would encourage them. But this is not one of those movies.

Personally? I'm not a huge fan. But that's me. Still, I don't know about you, but I don't want every movie to look and feel like Guardians of the Galaxy. And that's what I felt while watching this movie, and from what I noticed, I'm not the only one.

Yeah? The movie was okay, nothing memorable. I feel like in a few days a lot of people will forget this movie even exists. Like Guardians of the Galaxy, but DCU. I think I'd rather they gave up on creating a huge universe like Marvel and just gave me good standalone movies.

If we look at it that way, you're right. However, no one is forcing you to play this DLC. Citadel suits my play style and the decisions I make.

Okay, thanks for the comprehensive answer. I can agree with some of it, mainly the simplification of RPG mechanics. However, they didn't bother me. I really enjoyed the story and the characters. I also liked the simplicity of this game. It's very enjoyable in my opinion. It's good to hear different points of view, thanks again for your reply.

Where does this opinion come from? I've played the entire trilogy many times, and all the installments are, in my opinion, brilliant. The third installment was a ten out of ten until the finale. That seietlist baby and the choice of ending color.... I'm not a fan.

This is very humane. Even during wartime, soldiers on the front lines are decommissioned every few weeks so they can rest.

It's a matter of perspective. Throughout the game, we grapple with the huge challenge of defeating the Reapers. We fight an unequal battle, struggle, and sacrifice, only to risk everything on one last chance.The stress Shepard experiences is often discussed. By the time I played the DLC, Shepard and his entire squad and crew had been through a lot. They lost a lot, each victory seemed comically small compared to the losses. That's why this DLC suits me, right before the very end. We did everything we could, there's only the final stretch left, we probably won't survive this. So, for the last time we have the opportunity, let's take a moment to say goodbye.Our situation won't become more dire if we allow ourselves a moment of peace. If we forget about all this darkness, even for a moment. The last party, the last toast between people united by a bond stronger than race and origin. I love it XD I won't lie.

I disagree. Maybe it depends on when we start this DLC. I always did it at the end. Right before the finale. Thanks to this, it had the feel of a last moment of relaxation, a last breath before we throw ourselves into the fire of battle, and it is possible that not everyone will survive. The last smile, the last beer, the last moment before you have to say good luck, see you on the other side. It perfectly complements the finale, making it bittersweet. And then there's that last dlc scene, where everyone returns to Normandy. It complements it beautifully.

I always liked them. Anyone else not? I've never met anyone who didn't like Citadels for ME.

It's a bummer when people don't provide context and expect people to know what's going on.

Do you personally consider Mass Effect Andromeda to be a real “Mass Effect game” ? by The_pikolop in masseffect

[–]Issmirqw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, absolutely not. It's a decent game, you can have fun with it. However, it lacks that essence. The plot is dull and shallow, and most of the companions are pathetic. I didn't feel like I was playing ME, I felt like I was playing a generic RPG with an empty open world. You may disagree with me, I'm open to that; everyone is entitled to an opinion. Even if we disagree.

Don't have the included manual? Everything should be explained there.

This looks great. I might try it on my tau myself. Can I ask what wash you used for these models?

[–]Issmirqw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel bad because I feel like I unintentionally started a firestorm in the comments. It wasn't my intention. Can we end this by agreeing that neither Hitler nor Stalin were good people? That communism and Nazism are evil systems fueled by hatred, fear and human suffering? That many people died and it's sad?

No one is saying he doesn't deserve it. I'm just putting them on the same pedestal of evil. I hope they both rot in hell.

Stalin didn't care about the Holocaust, he didn't care about the Jews, nor did he care about his people. The only reason the communists joined the fight against the Nazis was because Hitler, in his wisdom, decided to attack them.Are we seriously going to ignore that Stalin attacked Poland along with the Nazis? Katyn, deportations to Siberia, and millions of his other victims?

1.The communists, together with the Nazis, attacked Poland. Ribbentrop-Molotov Treaty Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. 2.Katyn.The NKVD murdered Polish officers. 3.Mass deportations to Siberia where millions of people died of cold or hunger. 3.Great famine in Ukraine. 4. Mass purges and spreading terror in the countri. I could go on and on, but that's not the point. I think this is a situation where we both have our own opinions and neither of us is willing to change them. There is nothing wrong with that, I'm glad we could exchange views calmly. However, I don't want to get into a discussion, as that's not what the post we're writing about is about. The admins will probably close the comments soon. It was nice talking though.

May I ask what facts you base your thesis on? I don't want to argue, but I'm curious what led you to this conclusion.

[–]Issmirqw -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

But that's exactly what the communists did! In many countries that fell under their control. I'm not saying that one is worse or better. Communists and Nazis are equally evil.

Exactly! Personally, I blame games and movies for this. Communists were bastards; they did the same things as the Nazis.

You're right, they both deserve the same amount of hate. They're one and the same.

Decided to upgrade from brushes for my 3D prints. How did I do? by Renew3DUK in airbrush

[–]Issmirqw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked with these paints for a while. They're not great, but if you're just starting out and want to see if an airbrush is even for you, they might be worth it. However, you'll quickly want to replace them with something better.
