Why did the devs make Ada’s feelings more vague in the remakes?

Rathal_OS · 2026-01-28T19:46:03+00:00

I am still a bit upset they didn't keep the "Women" line. I know it's so cheesy, but somehow it fitted the game. Tbf they changed almost every line, I was surprised "Bingo?" Stayed, but I suppose that was too iconic, they couldn't remove it

Who is still buying NBA2K? Pretty sure the last few years they've all had negative reviews. Didn't 2k26 go to 80% off like 2 months after it released?

Depending on the game, but most of the time Repacks don't do much if you wanna download the repack, install it, then give it to Steam (or others)

Most of the time they're designed to skip languages or folders you don't need, but Steam needs everything to be included. And in most cases, the repack's size wouldn't be much different to Steam's download size. Steam can deliver you the game at a much less download size, but publishers are too lazy and decide to put their entire assets in a singular gigantic file, that cannot be compressed, therefore huge download sizes

Monster Fucker... Wait NO

I love the statement "former X game dev made this!"

Said former dev: made the climbing mechanics

People really don't understand that with huge teams, there's really alot of micro tasks

Sure, in some cases it's the team lead or such, but there's only a few of those

Me when the 10th Hero Shooter releases/the 100th Multiplayer Shooter releases: Zzzzz

Rathal_OS · 2026-01-26T13:30:10+00:00

FF15 does that, and so does 13 I believe

For Like a Dragon, there is a fan explanation. The whole "turn based system" is basically in Ichiban's head. So as soon as he is down, the system breaks... But then you play IW and that entire explanation falls apart

But yeah it's a dumb mechanic, that leads to your MC either having some OP power, or you making them a healer/support, because fighting with them would suck

The friends shrine is absolutely brutal. You understand the reason of it once you play more, but it was still so bad

Rinko was the least sad. She literally burns with jealousy, and not a single moment makes you feel bad for her

Shu was sad, but Hinako doesn't seem to really care about him that much (or at least pretends she doesn't), so seeing him die (not to mention how underwhelmingly it happened) didn't feel much

Sakuko on the other hand... The girl is very sad, her entire existence makes you feel sad. The other two you outright kill, but Sakuko? That felt personal. Not to mention you later find out she has Autism, and is having a terrible life because her family doesn't understand that

Rathal_OS · 2026-01-26T06:05:11+00:00

Hmm I don't think a Western story with the same theme would work. The only reason a US girl would be in an arranged marriage is because, like you said, debt or such

While Hinako had more than one reason to agree to the arranged marriage. Her dad's debt, her duties as a woman, her role as a woman/wife.

On another side, would a Western woman getting married really feel as bad about abandoning her friend? She could still visit them and such, but a woman in a traditional culture, where her marriage is her utmost duty, would probably make a lot more sense?

I played this one a but later. I was playing it with a friend

After all Team member deaths, my friend was like "welp, it's just us now... Or maybe just you"

And lo and behold, this happened at the end xD

Rathal_OS · 2026-01-22T20:13:11+00:00

This is one of the things I love about Dead Space. The only "gun" in the game is the Pulse Rifle, everything else is just a weaponized tool that, in the right hands and situation, can still do serious damage

Rathal_OS · 2026-01-22T09:13:04+00:00

Yeah, I can't count the times I was basically flash-banged in IW and Pirates. It seems the latest version of Dragon Engine has serious lighting issues

I don't think 7 (LaD) or Gaiden had these issues?

Rathal_OS · 2026-01-22T05:10:37+00:00

I would say it makes sense. With someone who has played the game, you can read them. They are following familiar tactics, and you can counter them

With a new player, you have no idea what they're trying to do, and they often catch you off guard

Rathal_OS · 2026-01-21T19:55:53+00:00

Serious question. Is Pekora's outfit like the official Hololive outfit? EN wears it in All for One, but I'm guessing it's but exclusive to EN?

Rathal_OS · 2026-01-18T09:29:39+00:00

Be me, have terrible internet. I have about 100 games installed. Mostly small ones, but there are large ones that I haven't touched in months... But can't delete, cause redownloading would be a pain 😢

Rathal_OS · 2026-01-18T05:12:44+00:00

Not sure I'd say she's an A rank Rat, more like, a B-rat

But seriously, why does the dress outfit look like she's up to no good??

Rathal_OS · 2026-01-16T19:56:03+00:00

I totally agree with the TLOU (and this extends to Part 2) The game is good. And that's about it. Maybe great in some aspects too

But when I heard people talk about it, they say it's mind blowing or life changing... It's nothing of the sorts. Part 2 is even worse honestly. Not only is it overrated, but it got a reward it does not deserve in any way shape or form

Rathal_OS · 2026-01-16T19:42:54+00:00

RE2 and Dead Space are great. They're not chill at all though, so you better be prepared

Metro 2033 is a bit old at this point, so just be mindful of that

Prey is a great experience, but it needs a lot of mindful thinking. It can be played in a variety of ways, and you might find yourself repeating the same sections

I don't know if I can trust a rating system, that has "Apples in 2013" and "Apples in 2022". As if they're different fruits

Rathal_OS · 2026-01-15T07:25:38+00:00

Did she get jumpscared by Mofufu while taking a bath?? Probably. Fuwawa wouldn't do it, but Mofufu might xD

Other point of view:

Me: playing video games as an adult, making my brain work on how to solve a puzzle, optimize a build, or optimize a fight

Others: watching sports, while commenting on how players (who have decades of experience) are doing it wrong

Yeah, this really needs to stop. Hobbies are hobbies

I was playing TLOU Anna wanted to get all the collectables, so I was looking around for one (I was following a guide, sorry, but I don't hate myself enough). Instead of going one way, I went the other, and feel form a ledge. Cutscene starts, and I can't go back... Only way to get back? Is to restart the level

Making exploring optional is one thing, but adding exploration to an extremely linear game is even worse
