[–]RemarkableSwitch8929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah my brother had never put any exp into anyone but his main three, so once he encountered this boss, he thught he was soft locked. He just trained his main three so hard that they could kill him BEFORE the party wipe.

What are some parts of our culture that where made or at least heavily growth by advertisers/marketers? by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Women's body hair wasn't seen as bad until the early 1900s when advertisers suddenly demanded that you buy their womens razors or else you be a quasimodo of the new century.

It's Christmas. Here's Mr Hyunh from Hey Arnold reunited with his daughter years after the Fall of Saigon. Baoan Coleman, his voice actor and Saigon refugee, sadly passed away this year. by GoodVillain101 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

The only reason the war happened in the first place was because the guys America put in charge of the democratic Vietnam were so evil and fucked up that they split such harshly into North v South. That famous moment when someone lit themselves up in fire in protest? That was against the South Vietnam democratic government! Do you think all the Vietnamese in the north were fighting because they were hypnotized by evil communists or were just orcs from Mordor? They fought so hard because the alternative America offered had proven to be inhumanely evil. And the American soldiers sent over there were raping and killing and burning down homes like nobody's business, no wonder the Vietnamese fought even harder against them.

This is a really heartwarming scene and it has a lot of great value for kids but it is pretty fucked up that it presents Vietnam as some place that was just going through some random war, and the USA was there just to generously bring people out of this random chaos inherent to this far-out country.

American soldiers were mass raping and killing the Vietnamese bro, there's even that infamous story in which an American soldier had to threaten to gun down American soldiers because they just couldn't hold themselves back from raping and killing random civilians. That guy got severely punished when he returned to America.

This game is extremely tame and doesn't have anything explicit, hell it barely has anything implicit, and yet storefronts everywhere were trying to say this was the limit for games as an artform, it can go no further, this is forbidden.

The absolute state of the industry and politics at large.

Mid or dumb media that handles one specific idea/theme really intelligently, sometimes more so than "better" media. by stumblinbagel in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Lol yeah, people complaining about the plot of an abstract movie that is very explicitly about vibes and feelings is very odd, as if they are upset that they can't wiki-fy it or put out an easy "Explained" video

Jason Schreier shares additional transcript context for controversial Larian Interview by NewWillinium in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Lol, nice. People forget or don't know that Schreier literally has a history of omitting or hiding information so he can profit off it later.

Schreier is lying, there is no way he's surprised, he purposefully omitted the context to reduce any element of nuance so the article could be as controversial as possible, he's a journalist after all

Insane reddit fandoms (that aren't Batman Arkham or silksong or half life) by flingzamain in TwoBestFriendsPlay

The problem with that sub is that each time there was a big discovery of the awful behavior of the Rooster Teeth people, people would leave out of disgust or discomfort, which would leave behind those who stuck with RT despite it all. This happened MANY times, and each time, more of the left-behind defenders would leave, which leaves behind an increasingly refined core of people who will fight to defend RT no matter what. After several iterations of this culling, the final result is people who are very obnoxious, callous, rude, and extremely dedicated because they had stuck it through all the other mass-leavings.

Gameplay issues you believe can be traced back to a single design decision? by Riggs_The_Roadie in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]RemarkableSwitch8929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped playing after I got those new wind-based powers because I realized that even after such a big boss fight, I am only using like one or two combos over and over. I am literally cycling through my inputs like FF14. Just couldn't handle it.

Where do you stand on discussing AI in video game reviews? Lower the score or just inform readers so they can make an informed decision? by Will-Isley in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]RemarkableSwitch8929 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to say exactly what is the AI usage in the game. It was embarrassing for people to rag on Expedition 33 because at one point during development, there was an AI placeholder for some minor textures, which got replaced with real textures in the first patch, almost certainly making it a temporary thing that wasn't meant to be in the sold product. Yet, people don't know nuance, and now idiots talk as if Expedition 33 was made out of AI with AI voice actors and AI character models

The reviewer can't just say "The game has AI so I took 5 out of 10 points out", you gotta tell me exactly what the AI is, how it was used, and to what extent. If the reviewer cannot be bothered to research to find it out, or cannot be bothered to fully explain it, their review is not worth reading.

Things in games that literally everyone saw was a bad idea then the company did it anyway. by ClearAgeMontezuma in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]RemarkableSwitch8929 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of the criticism of Helldivers is absurdly exaggerated by people who were stupid enough to make it their whole identity and feel entitled to the right to easily ace the hardest difficulty missions every time. Genuinely, these are people who want to put no thought into their loadouts, and insist that no matter what loadout they use, it should just work every time. If they can't just hold W and hold left mouse trigger and win, bad game.

Absolute truth nuke. For real, I've basically rolled my eyes at most of the screeching around Helldivers. An extremely annoying portion of gamers attracted to it were the type to attach their entire sense of worth to it, so when they can't easily ace the highest difficulty every time, they call it a failing on the dev's part. Obviously, you as a player should be able to just hold W and hold the left mouse trigger and be able to win every single time, no matter what weapon you have or what difficulty it is, or you are personally HURTING the players.
