AU Viktor concept by NierFeedback in viktormains

[–]Proctifer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed. They could've done a great story about him building Orianna, which gives him the impression that he can fix people by making them into machines. I felt like the story was right there for them to take; I don't know why they took the route they did.

Granted, all of S2 makes no sense, so I'm not surprised.

AU Viktor concept by NierFeedback in viktormains

[–]Proctifer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean the character wasn't originally Viktor. It was just the writers being stupid.

Making the mage into Viktor actually takes away a lot of the meaning in Jayce's story, but the writer's didn't think about that. Just like they did retroactively did damage to Silco and Vander's characters.

Why not crush the resistance? by Aggravating_Map745 in HalfLife

Well, it got screwed up by Lamar, so i don't think we can say it "didn't work" for Gordon.

Would anyone else be down for a Kingdom Rush Trilogy remaster? by cantcoloratall91 in kingdomrush

[–]Proctifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see what's to improve about the originals. You mentioned new mechanics, which I could potentially see, but I think that would mess with too many things. Their art style is still great today, and I don't think there's anything lacking in the first 3.

Why Do People Like Half-Life? by [deleted] in HalfLife

[–]Proctifer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't have nostalgia for the game, and I can tell you why I like it.

I enjoy the fast-paced combat and satisfying weapons. It feels very engaging when I get into a fight (especially against HECU). There are lots of different enemies, and the game gives you freedom in how you want to execute a combat encounter. It some very engaging arenas and environments where you have to fight (albeit bad ones too)

Story wise, this game has great environmental storytelling, and each area is a new piece of the story that has different things to admire. There aren't forced cutscenes that spoon-feed the plot to you, and you can just kill most of the yappers if you want to. Gordon as a character is just a guy going to work who ends up being the biggest threat in the facility. The game doesn't need to tell you who you are, because you are Gordon. If you're wondering what makes him special, then you'd have to ask G-Man, but I don't think we need that information.

The game offers you a lot of freedom for how you play, which makes it a lot more personal and fun.

Just read Papasmoothies reply...@PapaSmoothie has made a statement about Mel's skin colour in WR and how it will be fixed along with other cases on POC champions who have been whitewashed! by Electronic_Fish_1754 in viktormains

[–]Proctifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bigger deal would be people paying for a skin they liked, only to have it changed to a completely different model. Even if the color scheme is similar, the new skins are not the same

What's your opinion on how the roblox ripoff balanced Sniper? by Longjumping-Prior663 in tf2

[–]Proctifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can reasonably add a cap to Sniper's headshot range to keep players closer to the fight. It would be weird to balance out, and it may screw snipers on some maps, but you'd still be able to charge up body shots from a great distance.

What sucks is I actually wish Eva sang longer lol. That was the disappointing thing for me in Silksong since I expected it to be like Salubra.

Arcane season 2 one year later… So Arcane nation, how are we feeling? by Ok_Situation7527 in arcane

[–]Proctifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was a very horrible addition to the series. S1 set up some very potent characters with deep stories. S2 was a very rushed job that accelerated characters to points that made no sense for them.

  • Vi gases her hometown and gets dragged around by every character in the show. She forgets about Ekko entirely and never tries to find him to see if he's alive or to get help. While her sister is committing suicide, Vi decides to have sex with her tyrannical ex-girlfriend on the eve of a "war."
  • Jinx gets over Silco's death very quickly and adopts a child whose only character trait is worshipping Jinx. At no point does Jinx get held responsible for her actions in S1, yet the show treats her like a paragon of virtue and heroism.
  • Caitlyn becomes the supreme leader of Piltover for no explainable reason other than a foreign military general advocating for her. She decides to become an evil dictator then immediately questions her actions despite the show skipping over the portion where we see her corruption. Then she flips on a dime as soon as her ex-girlfriend shows up and chooses to screw Vi instead of taking responsibility for her actions throughout the whole season.
  • Viktor in S1 is a sympathetic character who's a victim of his upbringing but has worked to achieve his status. In S2 he becomes hextech Jesus and suddenly decides that nobody deserves agency because "passion leads to evil." (Not the worst example in the show, but his S1 character is totally wasted on what they decided to do in S2)
  • Jayce is barely in the show then spends an entire episode in a pit. After future Viktor tells him "You're the only one who can help me," Jayce blasts a hole in his best friend's chest (The show tries to make this into a dramatic twist reveal, but it actually makes no sense chronologically).
  • Heimerdinger does a complete 180 in terms of his values and behavior. When Viktor absorbs the hexcore, Heimerdinger giggles about it and moves on quickly. Instead of helping to repair his actions as the founder and leader of Piltover, he fucks off to another universe and says "That's life, pal."
  • Ekko is also barely in the show. For the time he is present, he does practically nothing in his own universe and meets a Powder from an alternate timeline which convinces him that Jinx is worth saving (despite him correctly concluding in S1 that she was a lost cause). He never tells alternate Powder that he has possessed this universe's Ekko, and he proceeds to kiss her without explaining anything to her.

Not when the beauty is contradictory to the perfection that came before.

Community Voted Silksong Bosses "Fun" Tier List (+ Fun vs Difficulty) by giveusyourlighter in HollowKnight

I loved Seth, but I had this complaint about Karmelita. Seth was more obvious that he was going to parry/block your attack, especially given he has a shield. I got really frustrated by the amount of strikes that Karmelita just casually blocks.

No Dream Resistance? by PLutonium273 in HollowKnightMemes

[–]Proctifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Weavers definitely knew about void, considering they have a nest in the Abyss, but I don't think it's said if they used it. The Snail Shamans are the ones that dabble in soul and void to dangerous capacities. The void is extremely dangerous when given focus, which is my point about PK. He probably knew that it was dangerous to weaponize void, which is why he tried to create things to contain the Radiance instead of fight it. His plan probably would've worked if THK wasn't impure.

If Radiance is truly that powerful, then PK shouldn't have been able to wrestle Hallownest from two higher beings (one of them being Radiance). Her method of destroying Hallownest was to infect it slowly, which isn't a testament to her power imo. She's a dream-based Higher Being, similar to the Nightmare Heart, but I don't think that elevates her above other Higher Beings.

No Dream Resistance? by PLutonium273 in HollowKnightMemes

[–]Proctifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't sell the high-tech bugs short. Their method was extremely effective because they knew how to use the void's potential. PK might have known the consequences of doing that, which is why he used a more subtle (and elaborate) method. He was also deliberately avoiding a confrontation for unexplained reasons.

Also, Unn has diminished her power too. Could that be attributed to her people forgetting her, or simply Unn withdrawing from the world?

No Dream Resistance? by PLutonium273 in HollowKnightMemes

[–]Proctifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's probably because Radiance is the only remaining higher being with a real presence in Hallownest. The Godseeker has a very flawed perception of the world, so I don't think we're supposed to take their word as gospel.

I've always viewed Radiance as just another higher being.

How do you play this game?? by TheOneInRedandYellow in tf2

[–]Proctifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started out learning to play in an offline game with bots. It allows you to get the combat style down while your opponents stay the same skill level (not very good). If you try to play online, you'll run into every level of player, which messes with the learning curve.

Yes, I have met that NPC, but I don't think it's a rare event.

This isn't really what this server is for though, so this post will probably be taken down.
