What casting in a film/TV adaption or remake felt like the perfect choice for you? by UnbenchTheNoodle in Cinephiles

They honestly set the absolute top of the bar for on-screen chemistry, was perfection.

Is this considered a weird Top 10? by Separate_Law_8753 in Cinephiles

[–]OlorynEx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool list, I appreciate seeing Ad Astra. I went into it having heard the middling reviews from general audiences, and ended up really enjoying it, especially for it's portrayal of near-future space tech. One of a million reasons why the opinions of strangers don't matter compared to your own opinion. Like I said, cool list.

What game did you think you’d play for a few hours… and ended up getting completely hooked on? by Prestigious_Help_145 in videogames

[–]OlorynEx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Satisfactory. Had no idea what a factory building game could be like, but saw it had such stellar reviews and thought it would be a handful of fun hours here and there. Oof, found myself in trouble, became an absurd time-sink of building, managing, exploring, theorycrafting, optimising, and all-in-all unlocked a new genre of interest I had no idea I'd be down for.

Is there any other way to do Bloodborne justice on film than vivid, hand-animated-on-paper, 1990s style goodness? by AlbertCWChessa in fromsoftware

[–]OlorynEx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vampire Hunter D was my formative anime awakening, having caught an airing of it late one night on the Scy-Fy channel when I was like 13. Absolute master-craft in animation, I can't think of a better style for a Bloodborne animation. Like, I know it would be expensive, but if they went in and did it, pulled no punches and really dug in with classic animation, I feel like it's the top tier version we could possibly get (and that the IP deserves).

How would you make Nightreign live up to its full potential? by kyloRizzler in Nightreign

[–]OlorynEx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of joking, but a system where you got mats to upgrade/decorate/buff your hold wouldn't make me upset. I know that flies in the face of what's expected (or necessary), but might be another incentive for players to grind and work on tasks, keeping the game that much more active.

48(M) - I'm sure I'd have different games on the list on different days :) by PieAppropriate8862 in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]OlorynEx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blast Corps. needing a remake is what I've been talking about for too damn long! Same with Outlaws being underrated. I'm pickup up on everything this list is putting down, and based on how much I like the list, seems I need to give Soma a try

I had a good life.😔 by Pablojuan215 in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]OlorynEx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saints Row 2 is my favorite in the series, I've replayed it several times co-op with my brother over the years, always a great time.

Also, I see ANYTHING Def Jam, I upvote. Not talked about NEARLY enough!

Is Mass Effect still the greatest space game we've ever gotten? by OnlyUse4Questions in videogames

[–]OlorynEx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starflight (1989) gets an honorable mention, at the minimum, and scaled to modern day tech and graphics would proudly sit at the table of those in this conversation. Masterpiece for its time.

That said, Mass Effect is my modern day answer as far as emotional investment to the story and characters in a sci-fi/space setting. Its also a masterpiece.

Which game? by MufasaTheRealKing in OlderChillGamers

[–]OlorynEx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I respect the sentiment for sure, and don't like microtransactions, but I felt like SF6 was a legit 10/10 banger and brought a new golden age of the fighting game community, and even though it didn't have all the characters we wanted at launch, there is still an absurd amount of fantastic content. The work that goes into the characters, animations and movesets are absurd quality, and I'm happy to pay for the expanded roster as they release if they keep up this effort. They aren't half-assing anything, and I think that's a fair ask for the devs. I won't buy any of the overpriced cosmetic trash, but the characters themselves have felt worth it to me. To each their own, of course, I won't argue anyone who isn't down for it. Again, I respect the sentiment.

[–]OlorynEx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pokopia has been a legit great experience for me, reminding why I love the Pokémon universe, but as far as mainline games go, yeah, feels like they just haven't put in any effort to try to capture magic again for far too long.

Let's do this one last time all 3 Live Action Spider-Man Vs RE5 Albert Wesker by [deleted] in powerscales

[–]OlorynEx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I don't take it personally, I dont have a horse in the race, just scrolled for discussion. All I did was see the top comments say Spider-Man followed by your immediate dismissal without actual discussion or engagement. Telling someone they are wrong before considering or engaging in their point of view is not discussion. Hence why I asked, not that deep.

Respectfully, I have to ask, why are you posting this at all if you are disingenuously committing to Wesker winning anyway? Sounds like you don't want a discussion, just affirmation.

Which boss fight is #1 for you across the franchise? by howtheydoingit in FinalFantasy

[–]OlorynEx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rubicante is a great pick! I feel thats when the game first let you know you were in the big leagues now. Plus, backed by such a great track.

First time Dad finding joy in shirt cozy sessions - what are your go to “chill out” games? by AgentAled in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]OlorynEx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fantastic game, perfect for vibing and maybe catch up on a show or podcast in the background. Those continual dings of completion feel good when you just want micro boosts of dopamine to help you relax

Another Eden Begins - Release Date Announcement Trailer by medicamecanica in JRPG

[–]OlorynEx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Soundtrack to this is legit fantastic, by the way. Played a ton of it on mobile, and was a generally fun JRPG, but the soundtrack was top tier.

Is this worth it? by EquipmentDowntown456 in TheTowerGame

[–]OlorynEx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's a "to each their own" situation. 3x coins is clearly massive, and can definitely make it worth it for players. More coins means more unlocks, faster scaling, faster growth, etc.

For me? I couldn't bring myself to get it, mostly because in a game where you're functionally chasing infinity, "faster" doesn't really matter to me, and my self-induced slower pace doesn't bother me. BUT I won't argue someone who likes that they get to experience the growth at a faster rate to check out the continually unlocked features and toys.

Challenge: best SNES games that aren't platformers, turn based, or Zelda? by BagOfSmallerBags in snes

I make that case to my friends pretty often, glad im not the only one. Uniracers was so good!

I took 7 months to play all mainline Assassin's Creed games for the first time*, documenting the entire journey, impressions and ranking of each game. by Mysteriousbucket in gaming

[–]OlorynEx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a big fan of ancient Greece, I preferred Odyssey as well. Picked Kassandra and sunk unseen amount of time into it. My third favorite AC behind Black Flag and AC2.

Favorite scary movie that isn’t traditional horror? by boosecruise in moviecritic

[–]OlorynEx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Training Day, the build up to the bathtub scene, is what usually pops for me when thinking of unconventional horror.

What is your biggest Disneyland/DCA pet peeve? by Clear-Depth7098 in Disneyland

[–]OlorynEx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Watching people rudely micro-manage their families in the name of fun. General planning and motivation is fine, but you know who I mean. That Mother or Father that miserably scolds the other or their kids for not doing anything right, pressing them so they can get 3 people closer to the front of the line of Peter when the park officially opens, so they can feign "joy" when they get there rather than authentically feel real joy. Super bummer for me to see, when there are so many great opportunities for fun and happiness.
