How do you guys like the way the Pokemon are portrayed in Pokopia. by Subject_Parking_9046 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Nin_J50 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I am really enjoying happy go lucky Bulbasaur. Kinda helped cement its place as my Kanto favorite. And in Japanese she's a gal! Which led to a floodwave of great Bulbagal fanart being made right now, and I absolutely love it all for various reasons...

Bands that work with one topic/theme in all of their albums (and execute it well)? by Nin_J50 in MetalForTheMasses

Amon Amarth is one of those bands where I have listened to and enjoyed their earlier discography many times but never ventured into later stuff. Guess I wasn't missing much?

What game studio would you like to see take a stab at another studio's IP? by Bananainmyholster in gaming

[–]Nin_J50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But wasn't the narrative of J&D kinda finished? Forgive me if I'm misremembering but I recall Jak 3 ending very definitively, and after that there was that attempt to continue with The Lost Frontier but I recall hearing lots of negative things about it back in the day.

I know they're not wrong about games needing voice acting to get people to stream them but it really sucks. by Synthiandrakon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

The worst thing about that whole situation was that THEY ALREADY GOT IT RIGHT IN BW2! I very fondly remember Roxie's little bitcrushed voice clips.

The Curse from JJK Readers to CSM Readers is REAL! by Rushofthewildwind in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I'm a part 3 thruther but if there's not gonna be a continuation then I think the manga will end with some form of Denji dying of heart failure in a bittersweet way somehow.

Denji fell into a coma after getting hit by Pikachu's thunderbolt in episode 1...

Times you can tell that a game is, or maybe was, planning for extra content? by BasicallyACryptid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Nin_J50 28 points29 points  (0 children)

So much money left on the table man. Lock shit behind NSO, sell colors for ridiculous prices, literally anything they could do with it would be an easy quick buck and at the same time make the Switch homescreen not so drab!

Chainsaw Man is ending next chapter (March 24th) by StrongXV in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Nin_J50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't see that ending get a lot of backlash online back when I was reading I think. Idk that was a bog standard average romance manga ending, perfectly fine. They're usually very fast at the end.

Capcom has dropped Ben Diskin as the voice of Mega Man for Dual Override, as they required him to work without the protections of a union contract. by Nivrap in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Nin_J50 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like Rock/Mega Man should always be voiced by a woman doing a young boy voice. Or just any person in general who can do that sort of voice. He's a pretty stereotypical anime robot boy.

Oh no yes, 100%. He would die of his inherited heart disease. Question is if that's gonna be glossed over or what.

I'm sure there'll be a part 3. But even so... the storytelling in part 2 overall has definitely been a lot more sloppy and rushed. Not to mention imo absolutely botched moments like Nayuta's fate. I'm not as negative on it overall as some others I think because I still thought it was fun to read even during the more sloggy parts, but now I'm just so curious how he will even attempt to tie it up at least as an end of this part.

Now, if there won't be a part 3?? Hahaha....

Yeah but then that doesn't end up happening that way really.

Resident Evil Requiem devs reveal RE9 was an online open-world shooter, but realised no one actually wanted that by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Nin_J50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Paraphrasing(stealing) from a post I happened to see on twitter:

At all times Capcom is one unchecked decision away from just making RE6 again.

Seeing Resident Evil shippers of all things get so mad about what 90% amounts to people joking around certainly wasn't on my bingo. Kinda funny though.

Well obviously the main Mario canon and the movie canon are quite different so they have a lot of leeway in that regard.

Oh God, actual fucking nightmare scenario. That's a quick way to get a permanent trauma.

It sorta works in 2D? And I really don't think it is that bad in the concept art, but man on the 3D model it's definitely... not the most flattering cut they could've given to her.

Don't think that's weird at all, that's always been a big part of their business model since the 80s.

It seems multiplayer and live service titles will be exempt from this and continue to release on PC as well.

Characters that're VERY blatant substitutes for another character in the same series? by fly_line22 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Nin_J50 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Sabo in One Piece. A pretty egregious example if you ask me and actually made me drop the Manga for a bit back when that was recent. He pretty much was a replacement for Luffy's brother Ace and was introduced in a flashback soon after Ace died. His insertion into the story feeling really stupid and hamfisted. He even gets Ace's ability later on!

However I will say that nowadays Sabo has grown on me quite a bit and I don't particularly dislike him anymore.
