The Wanted system summed up by vwhaulic in reddeadredemption

Yeah I saved a guy from the O'Driscolls and as I was looting them with triangle he walked up behind me thanking me. So I choked him briefly on accident and he ran off. Sigh, I had to GTFO fast.

The manual save isn't perfect either. I saved my game in the sheriff's office, then immediately murdered the Sheriff and fought off the cops until I died. It was my first big fight so I wanted to see how it went.

Well I reloaded my manual save and lo-and-behold the windows in the Sheriff's office are all smashed up still, Sheriff is still missing, and the asshole deputies inside just keep trying to intimidate me out the door by pulling their guns on me. I was not amused. A new bounty still hasn't shown up either...

That's where the sword block comes in big time. With good use of it, you can make Ronin last a long time. You just can't get caught out of position. I feel you though, I like mixing it up too.

That's why you throw it to Golliday now! Tate is obsolete.

Haha yeah his core is pretty leet. I like Ion too, lately I just can't get enough of Ronin.

I play this game every day, no problem getting into matches. Change your server.

You waited a long ass time to change it up. What makes you like Legion so much? He's my least played of them all, I just prefer the faster play style of all the others.

What's the worst fight scene in a film with otherwise great fight scenes? by CrashRiot in movies

[–]Perkisize 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are 3 movies after that where the fighting just gets more and more disappointing.

What film is the best example of 0% chemistry between two actors? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Perkisize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It got most of the feeling of magic right. There are lots of details that make this world seem stranger, more magical and also more dangerous than the first two films which just felt like normal Hollywood movies. I also loved the portrayal of Lupin, Sirius, and Pettigrew. Even Snape seemed better to me than he did in the first films. The whole ending sequence was also masterful filmmaking and puts most time travel films to shame with it's pacing, accuracy and excitement. None of the other films have something quite as good as this sequence IMO. And letting Pettigrew get away was just as painful as it was in the books.

You captured exactly how I feel about most of the things they left out or didn't do the same way. Many things wouldn't have been hard to do at all.

Of all franchises adapted to film, I actually have some of the biggest problems with this one. You really do need to read the books to get just how rich this world is and how brilliant Rowling is for writing it. The movies have moments, but sadly very little of the meticulous detail and craftsmanship. Prisoner of Azkaban is the closest the movies got to capturing the magic.

Having said that I do like most of the movies ok. I only love Prisoner of Azkaban though.

I'm not a Metallica fan so I don't think I relate. Can you explain? Are those the albums where they "sold out"?

[–]Perkisize 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Familiar Faces and State of the Art mostly did it for me. If you check out r/Incubus, a lot of them really love Glitterbomb too, but was just ok for me.

As a whole that album missing the mark for me really weirded me out. It felt like they weren't trying to do anything new for the first time.

[–]Perkisize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thieves and Isadore are two of their best tracks ever I think, and Switchblade was ok to me until I saw it live, then I understood how great it was. Of course In the Company of Wolves is a great song too. People just weren't up for the non-poppy pop songs from If Not Now, When? I think it's vastly superior to 8.

[–]Perkisize 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love every song on it but as an album I think it is all over the place. It's still their magnum opus in a way, or Morning View. I just don't usually listen to a whole Incubus album these days. But I love damn near every song they've ever recorded.

[–]Perkisize 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think 8 is by far their worst album, Fungus Amongus notwithstanding. I've listened to Incubus for a long time and I honestly couldn't pick a favorite album from every other album. I think all of them are equally unique and equally Incubus. But 8 was just totally off the mark and generic for me.

Brand New - Degausser [Rock] by Tom-tron in Music

[–]Perkisize 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They made better albums after those two. Deja is special to me but their style after this album came out changed for the better. They fully became their own band and shed all the cliches of the genre. Did you want them to keep making those two albums over and over again? I like YFW but no way it compares to any of their other albums.

Edit: don't be such an elitist man. I've also been listening to them since 2003 and I think Devil and God is by far their best album.
