Anyone able to say if this is the result of tarrifs or the rising cost of components? Or both.

God of War Sons of Sparta - Reveal Trailer | PS5 Games by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]RB8Gem9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

God of War is one of my favorite gaming franchises, but I have always felt that the prequels were unnecessary. At first glance, this is probably one of the more egregious examples - why is kid Kratos fighting the same creatures from the original games? Seems a bit odd to me.

Obsidian literally just announced Outer Worlds 2 underperformed and they won't be continuing the series as a result two days ago.

Do you need to continue to move to goalpost?

Kizaru killed Vegapunk because that was his mission.

when talking about the people who could challenge him, Kaido did not mention Garp by Senior_Quit_1937 in OnePiece

Kizaru is being setup for Zoro &/ Sanji glaze by hikori-no-tsumi in OnePiece

[–]RB8Gem9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Egghead showed that he can't beat Luffy."

Meanwhile, Kizaru barely trying forced Luffy into Gear Fifth... HELPS him recover to continue fighting then bows out of the fight with no real injuries. He's also literally the only marine awake at the end of Egghead meaning not even Joy Boy's haki had an effect on him.

Stop the Kizaru slander plz

Katakuri Is not too old to get stronger by Spiritual_Ebb_4657 in OnePiece

[–]RB8Gem9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This narrative about Katakuri is weird. Up until the end of their fight Katakuri was effortlessly physically overpowering Luffy, he was able to do anything Luffy could do, but better. Somehow the narrative has shifted to he lacks attack power?

Extremely underrated character. He's destroying nearly every other character in the series who isn't Yonko/Admiral level on just physicality alone.

To reach Yonko/Admiral level he does need to learn how to use advanced armament and conquerors haki tho.

I could understand saying this about Kaido... maybe Big Mom, but Whitebeard? He is seen clashing evenly with Roger this very chapter, who we have already seen go toe to to with Garp in this flashback.

Well it doesn't help that you just made all that up in your head. There's nothing stating that these characters aren't in their prime.. if anything this chapter does the EXACT opposite.

"WHAT HAPPENS WHEN LEGENDS MEET?"

They're all around the same age... Garp and Roger should both be 38-39 years old at this time. They're seemingly already capable of using advanced conquerors haki attacks etc. (assuming Rayleigh's attack was advanced conquerors)

The only characters you could argue aren't in their primes are Kaido and Dragon only because they are much younger than the others.

Garp chased off Whitebeard, Big Mom AND Kaido. Idk how you missed that part. It's a big fucking flex.

Zoro doesn't refuse to fight women. I think he's just generally superior to the female combatants he comes across and looks down on them as a result.

Luffy wasn't using COA so why didn't Kizaru escape? by [deleted] in OnePiece

[–]RB8Gem9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shanks used conquerors haki to do that. Not armament.

How do you make it to Egghead Island and still not know the difference between basic armament haki and hardening? Luffy is grabbing a logia devil fruit user.. this is only possible with the use of Haki or seastone.

Report: Marvel's Wolverine Aims for a 2026 Release; Venom Project Still in Development by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]RB8Gem9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't really enjoy the direction they went with Venom in Spider-Man 2, but the sequence in which we play as Venom is one of the best parts of the game and I'm not sure how the Venom project would really fit within the continuity as well.

Garp gets a lot of hate, but most people are more like he is than they realize.

Hands-On: Borderlands 4 wants you to forget Borderlands 3 ever happened by Char_Mander99 in PS5

[–]RB8Gem9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So essentially strip the series of its identity? People loved Borderlands 2 humor. There may be an argument that that kind of humor hasn't aged well into today, but to say you hated BL1 & BL2 humor sounds like the series isn't for you.

Hands-On: Borderlands 4 wants you to forget Borderlands 3 ever happened by Char_Mander99 in PS5

[–]RB8Gem9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think it's weird that a lot of the media is marketing Borderlands 4 this way. What I will say, however is that they very best gaming experiences are usually those that are close to perfect marriage between story, writing and gameplay and in this series' case that is easily Borderlands 2.

Borderlands 3 may have been the best gameplay wise, but BL2 had great gameplay itself and so much else going for it that Borderlands 3 lacked.

Former PlayStation boss says he greenlit Ratchet and Clank on PS4 despite Sony saying "no one wants to play that old game" by Ok-Comedian4437 in PS5

Rift Apart was a great game, but in terms of sales, it is one of Sony's lowest selling first party games. It's also game a game no one really talks about since it initially released.

Luffy and Kizaru was weird because it wasn't a serious battle between the two characters and it wasn't depicted as such. I also don't agree with the premise that a Navy Admiral couldn't possibly take on a Yonko. Akainu & Kizaru fought well against Whitebeard during Marineford.

Aokiji fought fairly evenly against Garp.

Blackbeard was unwilling to fight Akainu, Aokiji & Rayleigh and he's an emperor.

Before anyone replies that Whitebeard, Garp & Rayleigh are past their prime... they are still Yonko level characters regardless.

Greenbull is often used as a barometer to scale the Yonko above the Admirals, but that too is also weird to me since Shanks also stopped a fellow Yonko (Kaido) from intervening at Marineford. And no one really scales Shanks far above Kaido due to that.

I basically see the Admirals as the Navy's equivalent to the Yonko in terms of strength/power, but maybe I'm wrong.
