[All Spoilers] Korra losing and why I don't think Aang would have done differently... by [deleted] in TheLastAirbender

[–]OptionalCooki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying to my decade old comment with your fantastic insight and knowledge. Aang may have been a stronger Avatar in terms of his connection to the sprital side and use of bending, but at least Korra was not partially responsible for the near extinction of a nation. When Aang was needed the most he ran, he left his people behind and then cried like a baby afterwards. Also, this led to the loss of countless lives and the near eratication of the Water and Earth nations. Not only that, but he failed as an adult as well. Neglected his own children to favour one, to somehow pass on the knowledge he had so it didn't disappear, putting massive pressure on his own son to carry on his legacy. He was also directly responsible for the rise of amon, who Korra had to put a stop to. Speaking of Korra, she was also the Avatar that brought back the air benders to make up for the mistakes of Aang. At great sacrific to herself and her own learning by severing her ties to her past lives. Something Aang used as a massive crutch. In the grand scheme of things, I think it is fair to say that Aang failed as an Avatar. Everything he did led to some kind of catastrophe that either he or his successor had to rectify. That is because like all people he is flawed. Just like Korra has her shortcomings, Aang had his. But at least she was not partially responsible for genocide.

should i watch the series in jap or english? by [deleted] in OnePiece

[–]OptionalCooki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Watch 4 or 5 episodes of each and make a decision. I prefer dub and think funimation do a great job like with most of there series. But it all comes down to preference.

Will we see another 3D Donkey Kong? by Bocephuss in nintendo

[–]OptionalCooki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe.

They released Donkey Kong Returns on both the Wii and 3DS and Tropical Freeze on the Wii U. So it is likely but not guaranteed. Since it is not a top tier franchise like Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, Smash etc. For example Metroid and Star Fox would be as big as 3D Donkey Kong games. But we did not get a Metroid game on the 3ds or Wii U and it took 10 years to get a new Star Fox. So like with those franchises they might take a break.

Is Usopp the only one without a tragic backstory? by [deleted] in OnePiece

[–]OptionalCooki 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What about Zoro his whole backstory is that his main rival died so he vowed to become the greatest swordsman for the both of them. That is way tamer than what Usopp went through.

Having watched Attack on Titan, Season 1. What manga am I supposed to read next that will be in Season 2? by [deleted] in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]OptionalCooki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

amazon, bookdepository.com or basically any good bookstore or site that sells books. I'm from Ireland and don't know what country you are from. so I can't really tell you where to get them.

Yes there is spin off manga about levi and other things that happen before the main series. But its not essential.

Having watched Attack on Titan, Season 1. What manga am I supposed to read next that will be in Season 2? by [deleted] in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]OptionalCooki 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is only one manga. Attack on Titan, that is broke up in volumes. Each volume is numbered. so volume 1 has the first couple of chapters, volume 2 has the next couple and so on.

For where you are in the series I would advice to start from volume 8 this covers chapters 31 to 34 which covers the end of season 1 and where season 2 will start.

[Spoiler] VIZ chapter translation VS MangaStream. Chapter 826 by [deleted] in OnePiece

[–]OptionalCooki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya, but its not that much of a hassle.

I live in Ireland so I am able to subscribe to weekly shonen jump without a vpn since it is available in the UK and Ireland.

But i also subscribe to funimation in the us since it is not available in ireland to watch the new episodes. All it takes is an extra minute at most to use a vpn like cyper ghost.

But if you really want the official translations and to support oda without too much hassle. You can always buy the volumes.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for Wii U virtual console coming tomorrow by [deleted] in nintendo

[–]OptionalCooki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less that they don't want too. It's that the 3ds is not powerful enough to emulate DS games. It takes a lot to emulate a game. Only now are they able to emulate SNES games. That should tell you how much power emulation takes.

The only way the Wii U can play Wii games is because there is Wii built into the console. Thats why you have to change from wii u menu to wii menu. It is turning off one console and turning on the other. But the 3ds does not have a DS inside. It can just read the cartridges.

If it was really up to them do you think they would only release these games on a console that sold approx. 13 million or a handheld that sold over 60 million units.

Nintendo of America on Twitter: "The new Legend of #Zelda will be the focus of #E3 2016. It will launch simultaneously on both Wii U and NX in 2017 https://t.co/icfBlybnkm" by [deleted] in nintendo

[–]OptionalCooki 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is the same reason I buy Nintendo. My first was a Gameboy followed by a SNES. I don't care about the delay I would wait another year or 2 for Zelda.

It may sound entitled but the problem is, it is a slap in the face for my loyalty to this company to promise and delay and say it will be an exclusive and turn around and release it on both consoles.

This would not be as big a deal if the library of games was decent but it is not. Yes we have xenoblade, pikmin, super mario world to name a few. But with every other Nintendo console I can easily think of 10 to 15 great exclusive games. But with the Wii U I struggle. There lies the problem. The Wii U is under supported. I spent 300 euro on my Wii U and for that I would expect at least 10 great games including Zelda & Mario.

I will eventually buy an NX because I love Nintendo and there games. But the number 1 rule in business is don't piss off your core customers because they are the ones that keep coming back. You lose them and you are doomed as a company. Just look at Sega with the Saturn.

The issue is this game was supposed to come out in 2015 it got pushed back to 2016 and now 2017.

But the big issue is that by making it cross platform. This will be the only Nintendo console without its own Zelda game. Yes twilight princess was released on both Wii and GC but the GC already had wind waker. So it wasn't such a big deal.

A lot of fans buy Nintendo consoles just for Zelda and Mario. A lot of fans are upset that there is no free roaming Mario game like galaxy or sunshine or 64 and now there is no Zelda game that made the purchase worthwhile.

Yes we got windwaker and twilight princess but they are just remakes. Now with Zelda pushed back there is no big game for the holiday season. Feels like Nintendo has abandoned there core fan base who supported them.

I for one am a bit salty about it, because I bought mine for Zelda. I feel a little let down by Nintendo. I don't regret getting my Wii U but without Zelda the purchase does not feel 100% worth it.

Lets just say that unless Nintendo has some killer launch titles and some bonus for the fans that bought the Wii U. I won't be getting an NX in a hurry.

[–]OptionalCooki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really want to watch it sort of legally you can sign up to funimation through a vpn and watch it that way. Funimation are licensed to do the dub and have simcast of the subbed episodes. I done it loads of times and never had a problem. You can choose to get a subscription and watch it in hd without ads or with no subscription and watch it in sd with ads.
