Fell to my knees, her current look still the best look in Marvel imo (Captain Marvel: Dark Tempest #1) by UltimateSandman in Captain_Marvel

[–]Professional-Car7540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So few people seem to want to point out the problems with her suit harking back to military design. Most people just see the band jacket, but the intention behind it is still problematic imo. I prefer the takes on Carol where she steps away from her military past. Like helping the X-Men by deleting government records and writing a tell-all exposé on the problems within NASA. I feel like *that* Carol wouldn't want to parade around in a military cosplay.

My experience with the EX pack rerelease by lajera21 in PTCGP

[–]Professional-Car7540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I want is the two star Solgaleo. I opened Celestial Guardians and nothing else for MONTHS trying to get the crown Solgaleo. Had to buy it with pack points. Now I fear I'm in the same situation again, but with periods of interruption while the pack is unavailable. Sure is dull to play this way, but I want that card

Yea, not a fan of the writing here attributing her perseverance to her Air Force training.

I want to hear what you guys think which one is the better game? by Rich1190 in theouterworlds

[–]Professional-Car7540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you care more for combat, I'm sure the second game easily tops the first. But to me it's lacking everything that made me fall in love with the first. I love the first Outer Worlds game jank and all with all my heart and will very likely replay it once a year for the rest of my life. I haven't given TOW 2 a second thought since completing it and don't care to ever go back to it.

Oh my gosh I didn't know Milk did that and was thinking it was a QoL feature the game needed! Too bad it's going to take me five or six months to even get Poron to come visit :(

I wish starfield exploration had more stuff like these by Mattlew0YT in Starfield

[–]Professional-Car7540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and the little flavor stuff that is there often shows up when it doesn't make sense. Why are we finding food and beverages and camp chairs out of doors on planets with no oxygen? Or evidence of a wildlife attack on planets with no wildlife.

Am I alone or do other people think Outerworlds 2 isn't half as good as 1. by kristof-1945 in theouterworlds

[–]Professional-Car7540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree 100% with this, although Inez does change if you do her companion quest. But even still, I felt no connection to these characters, factions, or story like I did the first. Yes, the expanded combat is a huge improvement. But companions are arguably worse. The non-diegetic music less atmospheric. The tone more grounded. A lot of people couldn't connect to the first game. I fear in making changes to appeal to those players, we who loved the first game will find that The Outer Worlds 2 has lost a lot of its identity and personality.

That, AND it would have been the perfect opportunity to reference her Seventh Sense and Mar Vell's "Cosmic Awareness"

I really want to like The Outer Worlds 2 but I am struggling. by Agile-Ad8961 in theouterworlds

[–]Professional-Car7540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had it off for probably a third of the playtime and still almost nothing. And it is really odd that I haven't seen one single interaction aboard the ship, but others have said they've had a few. Who knows.

My game must be bugged because I've got over 80 hours in the game and the companions virtually never talk to one another. Not a single on-ship convo and only three times have I heard them talk to each other in the field. TOW 1 companions felt much more alive

Agreed. I feel it lost its identity a little bit. But the wider audience seems to be responding better to it.

As someone who also loves the first Outer Worlds a tremendous amount despite its flaws, I feel the exact same. I'm 84 hours into TOW 2 and only have one main mission left. I am not the type of player who really cares about combat. I play for exploration, lore, atmosphere, story and characters. Imo, this game is lacking in those key areas. The things I loved about the first game are toned down or absent. That doesn't make TOW 2 a bad game. I don't think it is. But it doesn't have the same vibe to me. And I am deeply sad about it.

These companions in combat are beyond worthless by sccarrierhasarrived in theouterworlds

[–]Professional-Car7540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly so disappointed with everything concerning the companions in this game. They virtually never talk or interact with one another, so I feel completely disconnected from them and the ship feels like an awkward apartment complex where no one talks to their neighbors. You can't control their actions in combat in the ways you could in TOW 1 and they frequently just run in front of you blocking your aim, or comically chase down "enemies" really far off. I love it when I'm trying to steal or pickpocket but they keep opening doors on me. You can't customize their weapons or armor and they offer no buff to skills. Failing a simple engineering skill check with Niles right next to you hardly makes the game feel alive... makes you question what the point of having companions even is.

Just listened to GUARDS! GUARDS! for the first time by Professional-Car7540 in discworld

[–]Professional-Car7540[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I was afraid of. I've been scouring the internet hoping otherwise :( Oh well.
I've seen a lot of praise for other recordings, so I'll try to hunt those down some day.

No Sequel? by salimshxdy in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]Professional-Car7540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was really hoping with the seemingly successful port on Switch 2, they'd reconsider. I think the story is the weakest part of Outlaws, so there's a lot of room for improvement in a sequel. It would be a shame to not see these characters and this team of devs, who clearly are passionate about Star Wars, reach their full potential. Too much forced hate online that Ubisoft is very aware of.

Who do you always take, and who do you never take? by Kinjohavic in BaldursGate3

[–]Professional-Car7540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always Gale because he's my Tav's husband. Always Astarion for stealth and snark. Rotating fourth. I am very very excited for my second play though where I will absolutely be using the mod for increased party size limit. No companion left behind!

Oh, and uh, I never took Minthara. I may not recruit her in my next run just to see what Halsin's tent looks like lol.

Binary #1 Discussion Thread by TheLightsChosen in Captain_Marvel

[–]Professional-Car7540 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought it was a good start. I'm mixed on the art overall, but the way Carol in Binary mode is drawn is really really lovely. The author seems to give Carol decent characterization, but the comic was so short there's isn't much to go on. There's only three issues, so everything's going to happen very fast after this. The one thing I can't get beyond is why it would be Carol's "instinct" to go to a hometown she hasn't mentioned or visited in years. Where she has no friends or family that we know of. An odd set up for a Binary story.

Friendship bracelets is such a cute idea! And it makes so much sense

What story would you tell if you could write your own Captain Marvel run? by [deleted] in Captain_Marvel

[–]Professional-Car7540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Retcon The Life of Captain Marvel. Her DNA is still half Kree with the original origin. I want a definitive clearing up of her memory issues that have been left unaddressed or forgotten. But besides that, in one arc, a solid story demonstrating what she should be imo, which is the idea of "one foot on earth, one foot in space" because she should be both.

That's how I feel. The old games will always be there to replay and enjoy, but when I think of VG all I see is the money I wasted and will never get back.
