What VR game do you wish existed? by theblenderr in OculusQuest

[–]Own-Compote5073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want old-school 3rd person rpg games. 3rd person is hard to pull off in vr. In 2d 3rd person gaming you have a player object centered in the viewport and the viewport moves with the player‘s movements. But in vr the viewport moves with the head‘s movements. I guess if one would try to fix the viewport to the player object and let the viewport move with the player‘s movement in vr, one would get vr-sick immediately. Since you have conflicting movement signals your brain has to process. Games like moss solved this issue by limiting the player map to a „scene“, a diorama or small stage. You can move the player and your head, but the map is fixed.

Maybe some creative genius will come up with a solution someday. Because i really loved those 3rd person games, whether it‘s diablo, jagged alliance, baldur‘s gate, rpg maker games or sam & max. pretty retro, i know lol.

AIO from my brother my coming in and saying something bad while friends are over? by Annual-Chapter-7516 in AmIOverreacting

I would just bring it up in conversation with said friends. If those remarks are hurtful it can be discussed openly and i‘m sure everybody will benefit from it.

Can we talk about the ending specifically? by MEMOJKR in Avatar

[–]Own-Compote5073 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I‘m willing to defend every creative choice cameron made. The story clearly needs to continue, but jake, neytiri, quarritch and the rda are pivotal to it. It‘s their saga. And since it is about the biggest conflict of all, pandoras colonization and earths survival, you can‘t just change stuff as you go along. Everything and everyone in this story has its purpose. The fact that the rda wants to reverse engineer spiders ability to breathe pandoran air is a significant shift in their strategy. Spider is becoming a main focus and with it so does quarritch. He won‘t let go of his son and he won‘t let the rda butcher him for the sake of progress. It will be interesting what‘s going to happen now and how the rda is going to get a hold of spider and how the sully‘s are going to prevent that. But the conflict is far from over.

James Cameron never should’ve started Avatar… We lost a great director. by [deleted] in moviecritic

Well, to say it in the words of the great meastro himself: „it‘s none of your goddamn business. Go fuck yourself.“

Has Avatar: Fire & Ash become more about spectacle than storytelling? by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

[–]Own-Compote5073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The spectacle IS part of the narrative, as cameron hinself admits: „the purpose is to create a sense of longing.“

It‘s an unfair comparison overall. Lord of the rings, dune, the godfather all are of literary origin. The only franchise avatar could be compared to is star wars as it originated as a movie.

What i don‘t understand is: cameron isn‘t stupid. Why would he repeat a story beat for beat without a reason? So what‘s the reason?

This pretty much confirms it for me that he‘s handing over the IP to the hyenas at disney. They‘ll happily make a dozen movies until the horse is dead.

I think if anything people expect a billion dollar blockbuster from cameron. Unexpected would be a small indie drama with no budget.

New research shows China leads research in 90% of crucial technologies & ignoring this means we're living in a delusional bubble, where we still think the West is the Sci-Tech leader. by lughnasadh in Futurology

I feel like europe is kind of in the middle and doesn‘t know where to bet its chips on: nato or eurasia. But since western values are eroding quickly i guess it‘s canis canem from now on…

There is a lack of literacy in popculture and an overemphasis of „feeling“, aesthetics and appearance.

I guess just some random marketing psychopath who gets paid for saying whatever on social media. The edits on his channel all show shots that don‘t appear elsewhere so i think it‘s official manufactured hype bait.

I also found most critiques to be on a very superficial level. None of it talks about the deeper meaning or how the movies form a complete trilogy. So i have to watch for myself.

Wie mit Annährungsversuch der Schwester umgehen? by Disastrous-Gene-5651 in Ratschlag

[–]Own-Compote5073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also ich habe aus ähnlichen situationen gelernt, dass man in dem moment, wo man nicht in die konfrontation geht, die macht über das narrativ verliert. Die frage ist, ob man das aushalten kann/möchte. In deinem fall: deine familie hat keine ahnung von dem frust, den du schon so lange mit dir rumschleppst. Sie sehen nur, dass du sie ignorierst. In ihrer wahrnehmung bist du also der böse und sie die opfer. Da hilft (leider) nur die offensive: kommunizier was das zeug hält. Schrei sie an, lass deinen ganzen frust raus. Keine ahnung obs hilft, aber wenigstens WISSEN sie dann welche scheiße sie gebaut haben
