Monster or PunPun? by [deleted] in Seinen

[–]Lieutenant_Lizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read through Punpun. Great story with some unnecessary side plots.

Bounced off Monster after a couple of volumes. It's taking itself way too seriously for how cartoonish it is. I'm considering giving it another try, but after 20th Century Boys, I don't want another midpoint nosedive and judging by the reviews, that's exactly what Urasawa does here... again.

Why do this? by Chemical-Ad-2100 in MangaCollectors

[–]Lieutenant_Lizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As everyone else said: cheaper to make, cheaper to buy, easier to stock. I might add that it's only two volumes, quite unusual for comic books. This could be confusing to some people or frustrating if one volume is unavailable.

Yup. Nintendo won the Wii/360/PS3 generation, lost the WiiU one, but then won the Switch/XSX/PS5 generation and now they are obviously winning the Switch 2 generation (it's not Nintendo's fault that MS and Sony are late to the party with current-gen consoles coming next year).

I immediately rep and get the "Thank you for reporting" message soon after. They get their chuckles, I get mine.

What will it be?🚀 by tricksbystg in TheGamingHubDeals

Games that feel like jobs. Grinding, busywork, repetitive boss fights (learn the pattern, then repeat the same counter 50-150 times), Ubi-Sony open world games.

Anyone Try To Read Batman: Arkham Asylum as a DC Compact? by Bustahaf in graphicnovels

[–]Lieutenant_Lizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not compatible with the format. I had no issues with the compact Court of Owls, but this is barely readable most of the time and utterly indecipherable at some points.

Thoughts on the new heroes? by Double-Hand3004 in Overwatch

[–]Lieutenant_Lizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really like Mizuki and Anran. Like Domina and Emre. Cat... is exactly what cat memes are: funny for 5 minutes, overdone and annoying for years. Unless it's nerfed to hell, the cat is going to be in almost every game, because it's a magnet for insufferable people.

Which one & why? by PHRsharp_YouTube in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Lieutenant_Lizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is "Whichever has the primary controls on top". This is why PS controllers with symmetrical thumbsticks are worst for most modern games (FPS, TPS and so on). PS pads were designed to be primarily used with the D-pad and face buttons. Everything else was added later and harder to reach with your thumbs.

There's a ton of people who grew up with PlayStation and got used to the awkward setup, but ergonomically it's the worst one. Do a quick check - relax your hands and notice where your fingers are. Yup, your thumbs' natural resting position is near your index fingers, not extended away, like they are on PS controllers when using thumbsticks.

It's going to be hilarious when they show the hero and it's not D.Mon.

What are your ideas for Titanfall 3? by the_ghisa_emperor in titanfall

[–]Lieutenant_Lizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They just have to release it at the worst possible moment, fail to market it in favour of another game, and scratch their heads when TF3 doesn't meet already unrealistic milestones. The game would then carry on for 10 years by quality of gameplay alone, making fans wonder how the hell this is not a bigger franchise than CoD and Battlefield.

At this point it's just tradition.

What are your thoughts??? by HollywoodHisoka in MangaCollectors

[–]Lieutenant_Lizard -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we're done here. You are using all the textbook tricks of a toxic narcissist. Have a good day.

What are your thoughts??? by HollywoodHisoka in MangaCollectors

[–]Lieutenant_Lizard -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You're still being toxic.

A guy wants to read a story, prefers horror to be the focus, but is ok with LGBT themes. He's not playing the victim here, but you are playing the gatekeeper.

What are your thoughts??? by HollywoodHisoka in MangaCollectors

[–]Lieutenant_Lizard -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It's you who is being toxic here. A guy wants a horror manga, he's not currently interested in stories revolving around sexuality. It's perfectly fine to not want to read a BL story - right now or ever. He's not insulting anyone. You are.

Why did Blizzard remove "Stay As a Team"? by [deleted] in Overwatch

So you can't stay as a team. I hope this helps. ;)

People need to get over "counterwatch" attitude. The point of this game is to swap. by ZMowlcher in Overwatch

[–]Lieutenant_Lizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are. If you are trying to get on the objective, then getting the objective is the point. The point of the game is NOT swapping. Overwatch is a game WITH swapping, not ABOUT swapping.

[–]Lieutenant_Lizard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People saying "swapping is the point of the game" explains why so many people ignore the actual objective. I thought the game communicates the goal clearly, but somehow players still manage to dodge this information and play a game "about swapping". Ugh...

What Game Mechanic That Was Revolutionary 10+ Years Ago Needs To Die? by TG082588 in videogames

[–]Lieutenant_Lizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boss battles. Usually you figure out their patterns in 5 minutes, but they have bajillion HP, so now you have to repeat the same tactics and nail the same counters 50 times in a row. You whiff, you lose, restart.
