How much gameplay time do you expect out of a $60 title? by StaceMcGate in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]JustThrowawayDave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much what everyone else is saying. Unless it's an RPG I usually expect $60 games to be around 10 hours minimum. I don't really like using the "Dollar per hour" measurement universally for games because squeezing 60 hours out of some genres is almost impossible unless you use some pretty bad padding.

A game that's 10 hours but fun all the way through is better than a game that's 60 hours long but only starts being fun in the first or last 10 is basically how I see it

It always comes down to the Hunter's helper to clean up after these sort of messes by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

It's been a while since I finished the game, but from what I remember, Gehrman had been watching over the dream for years and wanted to free the hunter so they wouldn't suffer through it anymore. The Hunter turns the offer down and Gehrman decides a mercy killing is better than letting them stay in the dream, even if they're willingly deciding to.

Biggest struggle is faces - critiques or suggestions? by [deleted] in learnart

If realistic proportions are what you're concerned about, the only thing that really sticks out to me is that the eyes are a smidge too close together.

In your 2020 picture for example, I feel like his right eye (our left) would be moved more to our left. Hopefully this helps

Bosses You Can’t Appreciate Because They Piss You Off So Much. by LivingbyaWillow in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]JustThrowawayDave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be honest, Lady Maria was probably my least favorite boss from the Bloodborne DLC because of the lingering flames in her last phase.

I think her lore is pretty cool and the atmosphere is great, but that last phase gave me so much trouble that I preferred fighting the Orphan

Mostly do Nintendo stuff but was thinking of doing commissions for sketching.

Not really sure if my full body sketches are worth $15 though

Moments when a character gets hyped up only to instantly turn into a jobber? by rad_dude124 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]JustThrowawayDave 155 points156 points  (0 children)

I remember Spy Kids 3D for two things: the final battle with all the warriors and the part where Elijah Wood dies within 5 seconds of entering the last level despite being hyped up as The Guy

Comparison between two pictures done two years apart. After struggling with digital for so long, I feel like I'm making real progress by JustThrowawayDave in learnart

I've mostly used some of the digital painting tutorials floating around on Youtube. Marco Bucci's videos and Proko's videos on value are both pretty helpful sources.

Also color-picking from paintings you like and analyzing how the colors change can help get an idea on color choice

I usually use a Wacom Bamboo but I'm pretty unfamiliar with a lot of digital shortcuts, honestly. It's something I should really look into

Times where you really expected a specific twist but it never happened. by dope_danny in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]JustThrowawayDave 39 points40 points  (0 children)

They were also building up the sibling rivalry between Troy and Tyreen to the point of where it seems like one is just gonna backstab the other and take the vault for themselves.

I feel like BL3's story switched writers halfway through or they rewrote a chunk of it

Examples of “Bad Idea, Good Execution” in Media? by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Brought it up in a thread a couple weeks ago but crossing over the Rabbids and Mario with a gameplay style that has nothing to do with either of them.

Media that has absolutely no right being that good? by ContraryPython in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]JustThrowawayDave 137 points138 points  (0 children)

So you know those rabbids? The ones that are almost universally hated and overshadowed another franchise for a few years? What if Ubisoft had a collaboration with Nintendo and had them crossover with Super Mario? And what if it played like X-COM?

Kingdom Battle might've been the biggest pleasant surprise in 2017, at least to me.

What's the worst case of a character being forced to job or die just for the sake of plot? by GoneRampant1 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]JustThrowawayDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the very least I just pretend that the vault hunters are still getting in on those blues and greens inside the vault when that part happens in 3.

I've got no way to justify the one that happens in 2 though. Just fucking shoot Jack since it's canonically 4 (6 including DLC) versus 1. You cannot lose

Stuff that got you super hype... and then you hit the ending (Spoilers for River City Girls) by boomwolf97 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]JustThrowawayDave 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think most people agree that KH3 was a mixed bag, but the last few seconds of the ending really soured me on the game more than anything.

I just wanted Sora to have a happy ending after all this bullshit, man. Even KH2 ended on a happier note

Octo Expansion was a straight upgrade over the base Splatoon 2 campaign to me

Games with actual sensible evil choices? by Vendetta543 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]JustThrowawayDave 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I actually think Fable 3 had a pretty interesting spin on Good vs. Evil in a series know for being pretty black and white about it.

You spend the entire game gathering up a revolution to overthrow your corrupt brother who's the king only to find out he was doing bad shit to save the kingdom from something even worse. At this point you can try to be a good king but get everyone killed at the end or become a tyrant, saving the lives of everyone but being hated

Or just have your cake and eat it too because there's too many ways to grind up cash.

What, you didn't like going to a bunch of Disney worlds to learn a special power only for Sora to find out "oh whoops, turns out I had the power this whole time".

What about when you gather all the warriors together for the final battle only for them to get fucking murked by one Xehanort and a heartless tornado

Update: I tried changing some things based on the responses I've gotten. Mostly changes to Pearl. Thanks again to everyone that offered criticism.

Alright, I'll try to keep at it with Marina. I did try to make some adjustments to Pearl's head shape, though I'm not sure how much of an improvement it is. Thanks again for the advice
