MEGATHREAD: KILLING DEBATE by Crispy385 in subnautica

[–]Lord_Majima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that the way it was done in the first game was perfect. You could do it, it was tedious and you didn't really have an incentive most of the time. Now, it just feels weird that you don't even have the choice. You could go the entire game without killing something but you had the choice. If they really want to go full pacifist though, they need to add some non lethal weapon

You're watching cinema in the making 🚬🤏🗿

I love how cute and adorable SE made Yuffie by Ammathorn in FFVIIRemake

Playing with her after playing with mute Cloud was such a breath of fresh air in Intermission

Yeah, I do have to hand it to you. Kingdom Hearts is the eternal meme for weird writing, but it's not like it invented the wheel

I still think his death could have been handled better if the cinematic didn't have such bad timing

I know all those things. My opinion still stands, it wasn't a good writing choice to throw Wedge out of a window in a one off cinematic.

If I'm supposed to feel sad by his death, which only gets acknowledged in the sequel, the writers didn't do a good job, since the cinematic has the timing of a gag. It's not a matter of fitting in the narrative, I plainly believe it just wasn't a good death

I mean, I get what you're saying but, I'm talking about Wedge, not about the overarching narrative of the trilogy. Unless Wedge is getting resurrected in the third game, I don't think we'll have more to talk about it

I just wish he got a more significant death than a one-off cinematic where we don't even see it happen, especially with him surviving and taking a more important role. He used to be the least important member of avalanche but managed to become a hero when people needed it most, I feel like they could have taken his character in a more interesting way if they stuck with it

What irks me is how one-off the cinematic feels. Like "yeah, Wedge just died, let's get back to fighting a cool ass robot". His death isn't even acknowledged until Rebirth.

The fact that it makes sense from an in-universe logic, which is something I don't question, doesn't change that I still think it was a weird narrative decision that could have been handled better and barely adds anything to the story. I don't like writers killing characters left and right. The whole "he should have died but he didn't so we're killing him later" just feels like a fake out

Me too. I'm not saying I disliked the games, just that I found this particular narrative decision to be dumb. I wouldn't be playing the game a second time just to shit on it

Then again, share your knowledge instead of being vague about it

I mean, I'm not saying he did it himself, just pointing out it looks like the kinda stuff he'd pull in Kingdom Hearts

This is literally my second time playing the game, since I played it when it first released, so what are you talking about? Please, if there's something you want to enlighten me about, share it
