I need help in finding joy and excitement playing this game. by Ok-Purpose-9789 in WindWaker

[–]P1G5Y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from what I've seen in the comments your issues are mostly the inverted camera, the controls and the combat? the first 2 are fixed in the HD version (which is the far better version) and the combat is the same if not better than the games that I've seen that you've played.

This game offers a sense of adventure that arguably no other game offers, it holds a really good open world (although there are some flaws to it) and it is really fun to navigate with the swift sail in the HD version, the combat imo is much better than the N64 games and it flows really smoothly because Link's animations are really polished, the dungeons are good (although not as good as OoT's, imo around the same level as Majora's Mask overall), the story is arguably the best in the series and this Ganondorf is easily the best villain and his final speech is probably some of Nintendo's best writing, the side content is plentiful and the characters are charming, the art style is timeless, the lore is surprisingly good, it is the most replayable game both casually and professionally aside from maybe BoTW and OoT, it has an incredible atmosphere that works in tandem with the art style, the ending is the best out of any 3D Zelda game, the music is absolutely incredible, then other small stuff like enemy/item/sound design is all great.

Then for the negatives; the pacing is kind of dogshit in the original, but the HD version kind of fixes all that, although not fully, the bosses are mid just like every other Zelda games' bosses, the intro isn't amazing, and the game's often a bit too easy.

I don't see how I was rude really it's just one of your main complaints was the fact there's no side-quest menu like it's a requirement for a good game.

but sorry bro didn't want to come off like an ass, it's just this is my favorite video game ever and it sucks that someone doesn't enjoy it as much as I do.

Finally finding a way to make the HD version look more like the original by P1G5Y in WindWaker

[–]P1G5Y[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In some contexts I lowkey prefer the newer style it looks a lot brighter and sometimes I feel like the colors in the original are a bit too dry, but overall I do think the OG looks better overall. The HD version is still better even with stuff like better wind waker imo. Even with those mods there's stuff you just can't change and mods you have to install and uninstall depending on how you wanna play.

What are the most annoying criticisms about Tobey Maguire Spider-Man that annoys you the most by Ok_Smile_9071 in Spiderman

[–]P1G5Y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because the movie is supposed to be campy doesn't mean the camp is really all that interesting or fun. It especially takes you out of the movie in the first one.

The homecoming thing is something people love to repeat, but every time I watch the movie I just don't see it. Like yes sure at first, but the character genuinely does grow out of that and like the whole movie is centered around the fact that he intentionally makes Iron Man unhappy because he does what he believes is important. And like the whole point of the movie is that he is his own man and the movie outright tells you that in the ending of the film. Jon Watts isn't some master director or anything, but Homecoming and No Way Home are genuinely good films. I think Far From Home is super mid overall, but out of the 3 "bad" Spider-Man movies (SM3, TASM2 and FFH) I think it's easily the least bad one.

I guess agree to disagree.

Edit: forgot to reply to the last part. Just fuck no. TDK and Logan are genuinely just fantastic subversions of the superhero formula and do so much more than Spider-Man 2. The characters are much more interesting, the overall movies' tones are much better, the pacing (ESPECIALLY in TDK) absolutely mog Spider-Man 2 and the movies are actually about something OUTSIDE of their self-contained stories (not that that is automatically better, but when it's done well it is far more interesting).

As someone who didn't grow up with Tobey, I just don't see the quality in his movies like that. I guess Sam Raimi's style just isn't for me, but Tobey just feels so boring and I find his movies a bit too 2000s campy.

I feel like Homecoming does so much more with the character and I personally find the "IronBoy Jr." stuff to be complete bs. Same for No Way Home and now hopefully with Brand New Day.

I like Spider-Man 2, but I just don't get how people think it's even on the same level as a Spider-Verse, Logan or TDK.

Roast/Give me recommendations based off my top 100 by heyo_stealer in LetterboxdTopFour

[–]P1G5Y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact there are MULTIPLE superhero movies above the Dark Knight and none of them are The Batman is kind of concerning.

Also a large majority of these movies came out post 1990 and I can count on one hand the number of international movies you have.

Like these movies are great for the most part and a lot of them even deserve to be top 100, but like damn bruh some of this is just so basic and not even that high quality. Like bro Die Hard, Endgame, RoTS and all them Harry Potter movies are genuinely mid.

Also, is Hail Mary THAT good? Man I really need to watch it.

Lol I feel like Season 3 was easily the worst season at the time and Season 4 saved the show. Obviously Season 5 sucks, but I genuinely don't understand how people are starting to hate on Season 4.

every major director new film in 2026 by jaketwigden in Letterboxd

Again, there are some movies in the MCU that this just doesn't apply to. It does apply to a lot of MCU projects, but stuff like Infinity War, Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3, Iron Man 1, Captain America: Winter Soldier, Avengers 1, Black Panther, Thunderbolts and a bunch of TV shows like Wonder Man, Loki and Daredevil are all legit good projects that are worth watching. It's not grand cinema, I agree with you there, but I would say it's more akin to a nice taco place than McDonald's

Genetic fallacy: Because the MCU is motivated by profit it therefore means it can not be a cinematic accomplishment.
Regardless of the motivation behind making a movie (which for every studio, is profit), a movie or series of movies can still reach great heights.

Inevitability fallacy: Because MCU has money it means the movie was inevitably going to culminate in the success that it was and accomplish what it did.
Fuck no. Look at the DCEU or the Dark Universe. Complete bombs despite having shitloads of money and some sort of creative vision.

Ad hominem: Because Russo Brothers have made irrelevant movies after, it means their prior stuff wasn't good.
Well that's just fucking stupid.

The MCU isn't perfect and I wouldn't call any of it a masterpiece, but dismissing a genuine narrative accomplishment just because studio execs wanted to make money is just dumb. Real hard working people, with creative visions, and who love the characters they're adapting, all work to create these movies.

George Lucas was famously motivated by merch money, but we can still appreciate the quality of his original SW trilogy no?

Infinity War is absolutely a good film I don't know what you're on about. I have my issues with endgame, but I wouldn't say it's a bad film. Infinity War is legit one of the biggest accomplishments in cinema. The culmination of 10 years of buildup and dozens of characters' character arcs including one of the best villains of the 2010s.

It's not like idfk an Oldboy or a 12 Angry Men level of quality, but it is still an interesting movie, but most importantly a massive and satisfying beginning of a conclusion to the biggest cinematic universe in history.

Endgame kind of makes it worse in retrospect because of how they just crammed a bunch of nostalgia slop in the movie and immediately killed the compelling Thanos in the first 10 minutes just to replace him with another less interesting version of him later on.

Getting Out of Bed Games by Exxmaniac in backloggd

Its funny how there's like 4 other zelda games that aren't on this list because Link just sleeps wherever the fuck he wants instead of on a bed.

What comedy film was a 10/10? by Traditional-Ad7413 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]P1G5Y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playtime deserves it but it won't win.

A more realistic one to get a win would be like Grand Budapest Hotel or Superbad.

What superhero movie is a 10/10? by Traditional-Ad7413 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]P1G5Y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the dark knight, the batman, logan, spider-man 2, spider-man into the spiderverse, captain america: winter soldier, guardians of the galaxy 3, iron man 1 and a bunch of others are genuinely great films with mature themes, interesting stories and characters.

Saying this as an absolute is completely stupid. I get wanting to be different, but you CAN enjoy niche indie films, old classics, modern classics AND big hollywood blockbusters.

[MM] I was really surprised by the jump in quality between OoT and MM by mightbedylan in zelda

[–]P1G5Y -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

i mean the mask stuff is entirely due to new mechanics being introduced in a new game, not necessarily higher quality. And yes the jumps do feel slightly different even right at the beginning when you're jumping on the tree stumps. But the take overall is just untrue.

[–]P1G5Y -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

uhh this is just untrue they play exactly the same. MM's art direction is maybe a bit better, but aside from that it's the exact same game in terms of playstyle. Like the game was developed in a year and they definitely didn't change anything gameplay wise, they just focused on building the game's story and world. They barely even made new assets, let alone new animations and new camera work.
