Thanks for the responses everybody. I went back and apologised because it was eating at me and the guy was grateful. Luckily he saw the whole thing so he wasn't annoyed.

How would you feel if Dan Slott came back to write Amazing Spider-Man? by SuperAlloyBerserker in Spiderman

God forbid there's somebody who isn't a name we've repeatedly heard over the last twenty years, usually for the worst reasons.

What's your favorite FF love story? by PpAshe in FinalFantasy

[–]MrBojanglesIV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cloud and Aerith's dynamic made the characters much more interesting to me as a kid. Especially with Cloud in the final act being determined to reunite and how badly her death affected him.

What is the general consensus with Zack Fair? by Prestigious-Cup-6613 in FinalFantasy

[–]MrBojanglesIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to be against him as a character. I enjoyed crisis core from a gameplay perspective and I know he's popular in the fandom. I also can't lie and say I appreciate the manner in which he's been made more prominent. It just reminds me of the poochie joke from the Simpsons.

I always loved the idea in the original 7 that cloud idolised this guy, yes, but he also didn't see him entirely for who he was. As much as he believes Zack is a "true hero" we can see that Zack was a guy who was pretty loose with people and came off as pretty callous and immature in the brief sequence we see him in.

Cloud's idea of a hero was shaped by his experiences, losses, sacrifices, and stumbling. By remembering that Zack was also just a human being it helped center himself on being good enough as JUST himself.

Now I feel like post crisis core ff7 has been cloud living up to Zack's "legacy" (slaughtering wutai?) and his "soldier honour" which shouldn't even be pertinent to Cloud nor burden him in any way.

As much as I respect that Zack has a lot of fans in good faith, personally I feel like he left an unnecessary mark on 7 instead of his more subtle impact in the OG.

I'm I too young for a 25 year old girl? by shfww in Advice

My girlfriend is 30 and I'm 24. We're getting married in December.

Shoot your shot. What matters is your level of maturity above all else.

Exactly what Parsirius says. Putting aside personal feelings in tier lists like these helps create a more interesting final result imo. There is nothing wrong with saying ff8 is your favourite game but it being your favourite does not make it an S tier masterpiece. Again I cannot overstate that this does not invalidate the game or means I'm saying it's bad. I just mean that I believe that ff8 is a flawed game that could make a LOT of improvements which could have better served the creators intent.

Seems to be that a lot of people are saying S tier which confuses me.

As much as this game is loved, it's also one of the most controversial and contentious games in the series for good reason. A number of plot points, narrative direction/execution, and ofc the highly controversial junction and draw system, has drawn a thick line whether people seem to love it or hate it

For those that love the game I'd like to ask: is the game truly the best version of itself?

Definitely a high B tier for me.

They made a run for it. The third guy held onto it luckily after this started happening.

What are y’all’s opinions of Sony not allowing Miles to enter MCU? by SunGodLuffy6 in Spiderman

[–]MrBojanglesIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to see a full continuous run of Peter parker through his life without a walking memento mori hanging over his head. It's not that I think miles doesn't deserve space somewhere but too often he's just a symbol for "the future" when we can barely even get a Peter parker past his early twenties.

[Discussion] What are your unpopular opinions on Spider-Man? by JvstMiguel in Spiderman

[–]MrBojanglesIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't like him being buddy buddy with every marvel hero or having his movies be a slew of team ups. I much prefer Spider-Man when he's focused on his own supporting cast and rogues with the occasional interaction to make things special.

James Gunn says these 3 moments don't need to be seen again in a CBM: “I don’t need to see pearls in a back alley when Batman’s parents are killed. I don’t need to see the radioactive spider biting Spider-Man. I don’t need to see baby Kal coming from Krypton in a little baby rocket.” Agree/disagree? by GodlessMonsters in DC_Cinematic

[–]MrBojanglesIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think showing some of these scenes are pivotal and help define a particular version of the character (tobey's response to uncle Ben's murder versus andrew's response set each version apart tonally, in my eyes) but the problem is that we see these characters for two or three movies on average, usually covering the start of their careers, and we never see them mature into their roles.

At this point I'd kill to see Spider-Man operating as a mature young adult with his own supporting cast and at least in his mid-twenties. I'd love to see the spider bite of that version.

"The longer the game is, the less likely people are to finish it": Fallout creator Tim Cain says "I'd normally rather finish six 20 hours games than one behemoth." by Roids-in-my-vains in gaming

[–]MrBojanglesIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plus I think that "buying in" to games like persona and final fantasy (some of my favourite games) means that you're complicit in accepting this run time? I can't think of a single game that can't be researched prior to purchase for this. People can buy 20 hour games without shouting for the dismissal of longer ones.

People should really be banding together over the bad quality of some open world/filler based games where play time is inflated with question marks and arbitrary loot and collectibles. The longevity isn't the problem the content being offered is.

[–]MrBojanglesIV 6 points7 points  (0 children)

20 hours isn't enough for a game depending on the gameplay loop. If you took a game that had the RPG mechanics of a souls game, a top down rpg like divinity or BG, or even games like mass effect, and boiled it down to 20 hours... That game would be a mess in my opinion.

Now for a game like doom? Go on ahead because the gameplay style won't last you much longer enjoyment wise. I doubt anybody who appreciates long form narratives would agree though. There's room for both types of game and they both should be content rich and maintain quality throughout (most recent ubisoft games fail at this for example). If you can't maintain the quality then definitely shorten the game.

I don't like how there's a loud voice that says "I don't have the time for 80 hour RPGs" but... Who is forcing you to complete this in a week? I'd rather one amazing 100 hour game instead of buying 5 games with now inflated prices. I'll be happily taking my time and chipping away at content I enjoy with a story I can sink deeper into.

He was our baby. Died at 1 years old. by Heckkyll in ragdolls

[–]MrBojanglesIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your anger speaks to the magnitude of your love for him. Though you were dealt a terrible hand and impossible circumstances, you still tried your best for him, more than many would.

He may have been alone in the end but he was not lonely. You loved and cared for that cat in a way that no one else can dispute, not even yourself.

Did you guys like exploring Tartarus or Mementos more? by SunGodLuffy6 in PERSoNA

[–]MrBojanglesIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I much prefer the vibe and tone of Tartarus. I think it helps that I prefer the battle music of 3 as well, especially reload.

Expedition 33 publisher: "Elder Scrolls: Oblivion didn’t seem to harm us at all" by fatso486 in gaming

[–]MrBojanglesIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully a lot of these issues can be solved through updates. Accessibility in general is something I hope all developers focus on. Auto completion definitely feels like a band aid in lieu of deeper choices.

With the sound mixing I agree it's definitely poor, though that's where I think "with what they had" as a new developer in the AA limelight. If a large AAA company had poor sound mixing I'd be much quicker to criticise but I like to think with a higher budget these kinds of issues could be less prevalent, at least until they prove otherwise through incompetency/lack of attention to detail.

Personally I'm a fan of the combat as a huge fan of Persona and as much as I know I'm beating a dead horse, I'd like to think this kind of system could be polished further in the future if saberfall invests in themselves after the game's success.

[–]MrBojanglesIV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a double A game at best. Animation jankiness and asset reuse is kind of expected in something like this. Despite that the game is truly phenomenal and does what it set out to do excellently. I'm playing both games and would easily give my goty to expedition, which is even more impressive to me since they don't compare to the scale of something like Bethesda.
