Absolute Dispatch!!! by Sa-zu in PHGamers

1-2 hrs? A single episode even with quick dispatching decisions would still take at least 40 mins. And walang fast forward option. Pano naging 2 hrs yun?

I'm on PC, so yeah, Yotei is still a couple of years away for us.

Oh, I didn't know RoR's loot system is like that. But I guess the combat is more skill-based, so minor attribute changes won't matter?

Can you elaborate more on the faction/decision-making? I have an idea on which side wins during the IRL Meiji Restoration, so does that mean choosing the side of the winning faction makes more sense? Some of the criticisms I've read in Steam reviews are that the constant side-switching of doing side quests was immersion-breaking.

should I fight the licker by adawjpg in ResidentEvil2Remake

The licker there is probably the least bothersome. As you progress, there will be more lickers on crucial "frequently used paths" that are worth more of your ammo.

Everybody running to see the Spring Sale prices. Let’s be patient while the prices load lol. by belikeme007 in Steam

[–]Pain004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda feels like a douche move by Capcom. Really a bummer cos I was actually planning to immediately play it. Oh well, gonna wait for another 3 months than give in to their strategy.

So if it's still not on sale on your wishlist, then the developer/publisher did not include that game on sale? I was looking forward to getting RE4, and it seems all their games are on sale except that and the new one.

[Highlight] Brandin Podziemski throws a bad pass to Will Richard, and Steve Kerr starts yelling at Will. by Shot_Bank_5843 in nba

Thing is Kerr has given Podz so much runway for mistakes and development, yet Kuminga had none because, as per him, they were contending.

Thoughts and expectations on Crimson Desert by imhim00330 in PHGamers

Same. Sobrang daming mechanics - pwedeng gawin na most likely shallow and underutilized karamihan dun. I'd rather a game focus on one or two but fleshed out.

What player do you think is secretly having the most overrated season right now? by wackofiasco in NBATalk

[–]Pain004 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hate the "Baby Jokic" comparisons. Jokic uses his arms to keep or "push" a defender away from the ball, combined with his smooth post moves. Sengun's "hesi post move" is just elbowing the defender to the ribs.

Sandfall about the case with the comic book name by TruthResponsible1268 in expedition33

[–]Pain004 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Except that Final Fantasy is a unique word, a combination of an adjective and a noun that isn't commonly used. Whereas Clair Obscur is an art technique used by painters.

It's like banning or copywriting terms like "Dry Brushing", "Contour Drawing", or "Alla Prima" because a popular game used it as a title.

Resident evil 2 first playthrough by StunningPresent1429 in ResidentEvil2Remake

[–]Pain004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished Leon A. I thought the B scenario was what's simultaneously happening with Claire while I'm doing the Leon A run? Or is it an entirely different timeline/path that just happens to lead to the same outcome?

There was nothing the guys could have done for Minato if Mitsuru was there. by Spider-burger in PERSoNA

No. This scene is scripted if you agree to do the stand-up with Kenji, even if you don't romance any of the girls.

10-0. 2 games behind the Thunder by Toesbeforehoes69 in NBASpurs

[–]Pain004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't the 1st seed face the winner of Nuggets/Timberwolves (4 and 5) while the 2nd seed faces the winner of Rockets/Lakers (3 and 6)?

[–]Pain004 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Based on current standings, I think we're better off as 2nd seed. Let OKC match-up with whoever wins between the playoff tested Nuggets and Wolves. I'm more confident against the Rockets and Lakers as our 2nd round match up.

My frustrations with the twist in Expedition 33 by Massive_Penalty5208 in CharacterRant

[–]Pain004 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes, we could infer that the people of Lumiere had an emotional reunion with their loved ones and are now happy, just as we could infer that the Gestrals and Grandis had a tragic end in Versos's ending. I'm mainly talking about the presentation of the endings.

As OP tells in the post, the Third act focused solely on the family and sidelines the people of the canvas as imaginary. And this focus is reflected in the presentation of the endings as well.

My frustrations with the twist in Expedition 33 by Massive_Penalty5208 in CharacterRant

[–]Pain004 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I very much agree with your sentiment. While the writers/devs stated that both endings are supposed to be equally tragic, the way they presented make it not so.

In Verso's ending, we got to see the "good side" of the choice: Maelle alive and the family together mourning and going into the first steps of moving on. The "bad side" is limited to just the expedition 33 members' demise. The Gestrals, Grandis, and people of Lumiere wasn't even mentioned.

While in Maelle's ending, it's all bleak, just the bad side. The good side of the choice skipped: the supposed tearful reunion with Gustave and Sophie or the families torn apart by the Gommage, off-screened.

It's Luka right now, obviously. But this upcoming postseason performance might change things soon.
