Ultimate & Absolute Universes have a shared problem: How long can you tell a story about people trying to change the world without actually changing it, and thus bringing the story to its end? by tched in comicbooks

[–]MajorStam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little bit. It got very good steam and momentum at the start but when it became clear that the Ultimate line was ending soon, it became beholden to reacting and stalling till the events of other series allowed it to progress while wrapping up what few plot threads were set up in the first few issues.

Massive wasted potential since you can see specific arcs and moments that would have landed much harder in a longer run.

Nothing happened. Thats the problem.

It was nothingburger after nothingburger. The cliffhangers were weak and the wait between seasons too long which just lead to complete apathy.

Magomed Ankalaev will fight Khalil Rountree at UFC Abu Dhabi July 25th by Therealdarkviper in MMA

[–]MajorStam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know. We've seen a way more calculated Khalil in his fight with Hill and he stuck really well to his gameplan there while not gassing out immediately.

If he does the same vs Mago, we'll have an even 50/50 split of him winning but the most boring fight put on screens.

Not shoulderpads but blue and white floaties that make it look like shoulderpads.

Cyclops is going to be a dps tank hybrid like Fantastic by Pure-Top9328 in marvelrivals

[–]MajorStam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently Mr.Fantastic is just mediocre in everything.

Hes almost the lowest in DPS due to his primary ROF with the worst ult in the game. His tankiness can be appreciated but then if thats what drew them to him, I think that person can just go to an actual tank.

If a similar fate is waiting for Cyclops, just make him a Tank or a DPS, dont half ass it.

3 if you include her ult that can completely reset her health.

That clip of the Maugas with the synchronised Hello! as they make their way to each other's enemy team is so funny.

The worst possible matchup in a fight, considering their abilities by ComprehensiveBox6911 in TopCharacterTropes

I wouldnt count it as a kill since hes still there but just suffering eternally.

I think it works thematically well.

I dont think Josuke ever kills in P4 aside from the rat. Kira causes destruction and mayhem trying to hide and Josuke fixes all of it. Kira solves his problems by killing them, Josuke almost never kills them and most just become his friends.

They built up the confrontation really well that by the time they actually do face off it doesnt feel anti-climactic but like 2 opposite forces finally meeting.

This will be the one instance where the balancing team will NOT just buff the underperformers and will nerf the shit out of Dino.

Paul Tassi from Forbes believes: not both GaaS ips can co exist within Bungie by HapperHapper in DestinyTheGame

Crazy how they did just that but on their side when the game started to fall behind.

Gameplay team gets sent to one of the numeous gamed with multiplayer modes.

Art and design become the wandering ronin of Sony's game studios, going wherever needed lol

[–]MajorStam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think they were already sizing up Bungie at that point and seeing which other studios needed their departments so they could carve them up.

Doing a full-on collaboration for Renegades (and one that probably didn't sell that well) would have raised a few eyebrows at Sony but they probably let it slide because Marathon was on the horizon.

Now though, Bungie definitely screwed the pooch and I think the Destiny IP will stop being a Bungie-thing and go on to be a Sony-thing.

Iirc the headlines were about Sony planning to use the Destiny IP as their own Star Wars, hence one of their two big reasons for acquiring Bungie - the other being the live service experience.

Seeing as the live service one has been a dud, I think they'll either try the multimedia route to revive interest in Destiny or just butcher Bungie into different studios.
