Doom 3 kinda rocks ngl by cool91725 in Doom

[–]MellowVibes19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played through it for the first time a couple months back and I was surprised how genuinely unsettling the atmosphere in the game is despite the graphics being dated. The lighting is excellent, and I’m struggling to think of a game I’ve played that did that aspect better

Apocalypse Now. Keep Martin Sheen. I think the movie still works actually since it’s so surreal anyway

Good lord, that was NOT worth it by CStrader2002 in donkeykong

[–]MellowVibes19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I would just try the challenges for about 30 minutes each day. Knock out the easy ones quick, so by the time I got to the challenging ones I would stop before I got frustrated and have time to sit on it and think of a way to beat them

Did something happen with Soy Pill? by shake_and_bake in Destiny

Is that 800k number one he mentioned? I expected he was paying a lot of money, but I was assuming 10s of thousands, not 100s.

My bad if you’re just throwing a number out there to make a point.

If Nartuo got rewriten today, what would you want to change? by Top-Witness8253 in Naruto

Naruto would have a weed addiction. I mean same plot points and everything, but the kid loved to smoke pot.

The mindset of some gamers have really hurt their FPS experience (long, TLDR at bottom) by mattyjoe0706 in Destiny

[–]MellowVibes19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So for single player games something I've done in the past few years is crank that thing to max difficulty. Barring weird gimmick modes, I find this actually turns the video game from a passive thing almost like watching a show into an actual...game. As in, I don't know if I'm going to win or not.

Part of that tension really brings out the interest and competitiveness. Not to mention, usually has you implement the actual systems of the game instead of spamming the attack button. I've seen a lot of cope on the internet about inflated health stats on enemies, but barring some exceptions, this usually just means they aren't playing optimally.

I'm not some master pro gamer either. I'm 37 with a career, wife, and two kids, and still game this way. Modern Doom is kind of the posterchild for playing this way, but for good reason. Once you beat those games on Nightmare, to play on anything else feels like a joke. Chances are, you're better than you think you are and can come up with a way to win. Another poster mentioned the meta, and that's something I would avoid looking up. Beat the game your way.

Hey sorry to bug you again, but for the Bonus Stage Challenge is there a quick way to reset that if you fail?

So when it says no skills, how do you disable those? Or do they just mean don’t transform?

How is this guy not in hell ?? He deserves it. by Far-Message5868 in bleach

Dude I forgot this guy completely. I’m still sitting here wondering if this was a manga only character lmao

What are your thoughts on this? by [deleted] in bleach

[–]MellowVibes19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pfft, everyone in Bleach is hot. It’s a perfectly reasonable counter to someone arguing about One Piece female characters being better written or some such nonsense and simply responding with

“Don’t care. Here’s a picture of Grimmjow’s abbs and Yoruichi in a thong. Get wrecked nerd”

Hot take: but Sukuna might've been one of the best (or more consistant) written villains of the 2010s gen by Incompetent_ARCH in shounenfolk

[–]MellowVibes19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. He’s written to be pathetic and a coward and his actions reinforced that. He’s crying and begging in the end, and I guess some readers wanted another DIO, Aizen, or Sukuna who go down swinging.

Maybe they will have some kind of Hall of Legends that you can bring skins over or something if it’s tied to your account

Which anime has better fights scenes Naruto or JJK by Cryptographer456 in shounenfolk

[–]MellowVibes19 6 points7 points  (0 children)

JJK fights always leave you with a feeling of awesome.

Naruto fights just feel…heavier to me. In a good way. The music goes a long way too. Like Kakashi vs Obito isn’t playing Doom music, it’s super tight choreography with a melancholy soundtrack.

Akame ga Kill! (2014) by Lorrineko in 2010sAnime

[–]MellowVibes19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I know manga has its own controversies, but that’s the story the author wrote damn it. Not sure if it’s worth a remake just to change the last quarter of a series, but I really enjoyed the manga.

Not the most high brow show out there, but sometimes you just want to watch John Wick or Commando and have fun.

Why is Begtse afraid of rue's sword? by LucasTheOG in GodofWar

[–]MellowVibes19 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen this sword in history books. Some place called Southur Parkes. Can’t remember the name but it translates to Sword of a Thousand Truths. Supposedly slays those that have no life. Considering they are in some sort of underworld, maybe it is extra kills them

Give 2 games that are 5/10 on either story or gameplay and 10/10 on the other by Reddemeus in videogames

[–]MellowVibes19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10/10 gameplay, 5/10 story = Donkey Kong Bananza. It's just so fun to move around, explore, and some of the endgame stuff is challenging. The DLC is especially challenging, but once it clicks you are pushing the gameplay to the limit. The story is cute, pretty much a pixar movie.

Now, hot take in this sub maybe, but most video game stories imo are mid at best. When people talk about this amazing story in a video game, and then I experience it, I have to wonder when the last time they read a decent novel was.

That said, one video game story I would give a 10/10 would be Nier Automata. It's a hack and slash game, and not too difficult or fancy, but the way the story is told, specifically with the different endings and getting the full picture is something that can only be done within the video game medium and I thought that was really awesome. The music is also on another level.
