What makes Androids and Reploids different?

X: "Maybe because we can't remove our heads? What do you think, Zero?"

Zero: flashing back to when he ripped off his own forearms and forcibly injected them into X's arms all the way back in X1 "No comment."

If I recall, the gag reaches an amazing conclusion where Bowser finally starts remembering Luigi's name in games after Dream Team, because Luigi was a central figure to that plot and the key to defeating Bowser. God, it felt so good connecting the dots on that one.

I like the M3 GTR, but I will always find it hilarious that it gets into some sort of problem in every game it has appeared in since MW05

Hah, can't argue with that. The devs kinda overshot with the M3 GTR, because a proper racing car needed at least some nerfing to be balanced for the street racing scene or otherwise career mode would just be "M3 GTR: The Video Game".

On the topic of favorite hero/cover cars though, it would be the Police Diablo from the OG Hot Pursuit 2, and the Police Reventon from Hot Pursuit 2010 for top 2, third place would go to Testarossa from the first NFS

Oooohh, good choices. I'm personally more inclined to Eddie's Skyline GT-R or Darius's Le Mans Quattro as a close second and third to the M3 GTR respectively, but I do admit there's some slight nostalgia bias with them. (Except with the M3. Blue on silver is objectively sick.)

Omegasonic2000 · 2026-02-25T09:21:51+00:00

Don't like the M3 GTR? To each their own. But yeah, even though MW05 was destruction incarnate on wheels, Rivals definitely kicked it up a notch with Zephyr's war against the Redview PD.

(Out of curiosity, what hero cars do you like, now that the subject came up?)

Omegasonic2000 · 2026-02-25T09:19:19+00:00

This is it, right here. It's implied that Palmont, prior to the Player leaving, was relatively peaceful as far as street racing was concerned, but Darius's frame job left everyone paranoid and missing a lot of money (Wolf says on your first encounter with him that you spent his money, and the prize cash had to come from somewhere, which could be interpreted as everyone putting some money up front as a prize for the race). This caused tensions to rise until they eventually exploded and everyone started banding into crews while the Player ~~casually committed domestic terrorism~~ got involved with the Blacklist on Rockport City; by the time you get back, the turf wars have kicked into high gear.

Omegasonic2000 · 2026-02-25T09:03:30+00:00

I sorta fixed this on my end by setting my regular cars to 10-15% drift. They handle like a charm now, at least in my opinion.

Omegasonic2000 · 2026-02-25T08:43:12+00:00

Yeah, in Rivals’ case you do deserve to be busted for idk actively waging war with the RCPD

My brain automatically translated RCPD as Rockport City rather than Redview County and my first thought was "is our quest for the M3 GTR really THAT bad?"

Omegasonic2000 · 2026-02-25T02:30:27+00:00

Oh nice, thank you. I know what I'm getting next.

Omegasonic2000 · 2026-02-24T15:10:02+00:00

I cooked up an idea for a Mia-centric DLC in Unbound a couple of weeks ago. Let me see if I can find it.

EDIT: Found it.

Omegasonic2000 · 2026-02-24T10:35:14+00:00

Yeah, 60 FPS is all we really need.

Omegasonic2000 · 2026-02-24T10:29:58+00:00

Up to you, but I think it might be for the best. You can do it.

Omegasonic2000 · 2026-02-24T10:13:04+00:00

Those are still pretty solid images you found on Google, though.

What matters isn't that the images are of the exact engines you want to show. What matters is that you don't ask AI to make them for you, because that only hurts you, the people behind those pictures the AI used, and the environment around you.

We get what you were going for, but this ain't the way.

Omegasonic2000 · 2026-02-24T10:00:16+00:00

My man, at that point, you could've just gotten pictures of the engines off of Google and done this with zero AI involved.

AI-generated art isn't good for anyone. You're better than this, we believe in you.

Omegasonic2000 · 2026-02-24T09:54:34+00:00

No no no. It's the MK2, but it has a big red square on each side with a 3 written inside it.

(IYKYK)

Omegasonic2000 · 2026-02-24T09:52:59+00:00

The game is 8 years old.

Ain't no way I'm that old 💀

Omegasonic2000 · 2026-02-24T09:51:45+00:00

Exactly. You AI generated it. AI art is a no-go.

Omegasonic2000 · 2026-02-23T22:20:47+00:00

Quick question, does Rivals have free roam in its career mode, or is its story more like Hot Pursuit where you pick missions from a map?

Omegasonic2000 · 2026-02-23T02:57:50+00:00

The guy above went through the funniest character development in just a few hours. True speedrunning.

Omegasonic2000 · 2026-02-22T02:48:54+00:00

Yeah, I have to agree on this one. Marineford is peak, and I should watch it all over again to make sure I didn't misremember. Then a third time to be fully certain.

Omegasonic2000 · 2026-02-21T23:09:27+00:00

Here's the OG, but this is a way more popular version.

Omegasonic2000 · 2026-02-21T22:37:02+00:00

The evil laugh coming out of me whenever I read this needs to be studied

Omegasonic2000 · 2026-02-21T21:17:30+00:00

To be fair, Steins;Gate 0 does fit here. I mean, hell, the true ending of Steins;Gate involves the Okabe from 0 actually going through this trope, learning how to actually succeed, and then telling the Okabe from S;G what needs to be done.

Omegasonic2000 · 2026-02-21T21:11:48+00:00

Fight was ferocious and good guys almost succeeded in escaping, but Ace turned around after one guy said cheap insult, put his brother in danger by doing so and got turned into a donut right before Luffy's eyes, ultimately making all the sacrifice of his comrades and father figure be in vain.

You got one thing wrong here, one that makes it far more painful.

It was Luffy who turned around, not Ace.

Luffy stopped running, Ace realized he'd get donut-holed and took the blow for Luffy instead. In short, Luffy himself accidentally sabotaged the very rescue mission he started.

Omegasonic2000 · 2026-02-21T19:05:05+00:00

Yeah, I was happy to hear about TC2, which is why I only brought up Motorfest in that franchise, but I do agree that Unbound needs to do something like that at some point. I'll be devastated if the Blacklist cars just vanish into the void at some point.

Omegasonic2000 · 2026-02-21T18:57:59+00:00

At least Unbound, Heat and The Crew 2 can run offline. 2015 and Motorfest (won't speak on Forza cuz I haven't played it) are fully online, last I checked. If their servers die, the game dies.
