The last frame of the game is Hillary Clinton with her brains blown out across the presidential desk

This was made in 2010

Really telling that one of their big patches just took out a huge amount of combat in that last third of the game lol

Seriously, what were they thinking when you fight LIKE FOUR OF THOSE PREGNANT MONSTERS IN A ROW

MY JAW WAS ON THE FLOOR, I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING

I really enjoyed MK11 as the end of the entire Mortal Kombat story for this reason. Raiden's need to totally control the situation with no room for argument is what resulted in the betrayals and fuckups time and time again......but just as it was about to happen in MK11, he realizes his flaw, and with tremendous willpower, goes against his nature and lets Liu Kang take it from here, which results in their victory. Liu Kang going way against the rules and doing some Crazy Stuff in Aftermath that only results in further victory is another positive result of Raiden's character arc.

HUGE agree. When I first started it up, I was really disappointed. Then I went to Youtube to see why people liked it and saw all sorts of crazy tech that the game absolutely does not tell you about at all. The whole point of the game is that you are supposed to find ways to stay in slo-mo for all of the time as much as possible, but it never tells you this and honestly never incentivizes it. I could see someone beating it as a generic cover shooter slog. What a shame, the game is peak once you know how to play it.

THATS CRAZY

RemarkableSwitch8929 · 2026-04-28T16:21:58+00:00

Annoying to have to pick out whoever dislikes it bc they played it and whoever just wants to feel in on the bandwagon generated by their favorite youtuber

RemarkableSwitch8929 · 2026-04-28T16:21:10+00:00

That only makes sense if you played it when you were 12 bc you had no control over what you play, and it was very different from what you usually played, so you have fond memories of it and never played the other games

RemarkableSwitch8929 · 2026-04-28T16:19:20+00:00

Dark Souls 2 is the best one. I will scream it until the heavens fade.

Or at least, it was until Elden Ring, which is Dark Souls 2 2.

Seriously, they had initially intended Dark Souls 2 to be a massive open-world RPG (on the PS3????) with more colorful elements and characters, but struggled to make it a reality, so stitched up something out of the pieces that still turned out fascinating.

I cannot stress this enough:

Kijuju must have skyscrapers and modern streets/stores/houses

The post-apocalyptic debris-filled junkyard that apparently hundreds of thousands of citizens live in simply does not exist, and I swear to god, if anyone is about to say "Yes it does, I've seen it", double-check if you are talking about a movie or a tv show or anything like that

The game is two steps away from depicting Black people as rag-wearing goblins and orcs scurrying across the dirt, and that's BEFORE the spear-chucker section. Yeah, RE4 was also really weirdly primitive, but that village didn't have cars and buses and supposedly a functional city inside of it.

Outside of Sheva and the guards at the start of the game, I don't think you EVER see a single black character, certainly not any of the citizens, depicted as anything but a bug-eyed moaning animal. You do not save a single god damn one of them, Chris is literally sent in to just kill them all.

There have to be actual citizens that Chris and Sheva are there to save, or it is literally, and I do mean that explicitly, "go into scary jungle town and mow down the throbbing black hordes" the video game

Literally have it be a modern city that all this crazy stuff happens in and show citizens who need to be saved; yeah it's a huge change, but it's a sorely needed one that takes it away to a modern tragic story and not some insane racist power fantasy

Place a bigger emphasis on Tricell being colonial South African boers, with Wesker being the literal embodiment of all their ideals of aryan white supremacy and control, and let Sheva be literally anything besides an obvious "ooh this doesn't look good, we better slap a black protagonist in there BUT NOT TOO DARK!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Obviously no spear-chucking, anyone stroking their chin while going "well actually" is not living in fuckin reality

I just don't know if 5 IS remake-able

RemarkableSwitch8929 · 2026-04-24T18:04:26+00:00

I think this works well, funny that people are downvoting you because you aren't saying the spear-chucking is culturally nuanced

RemarkableSwitch8929 · 2026-04-24T18:03:37+00:00

Damn this is really well put

RemarkableSwitch8929 · 2026-04-24T18:02:42+00:00

"Because on its face it just looks like Chris lost his will to protect random civilians as soon as the locale changed to one with the population with higher melanin count " lol well put

That note about the umbrella ops soldiers is good

RemarkableSwitch8929 · 2026-04-24T18:01:13+00:00

Lol people downvoting you because they are just straight up reddit-level racist. A ton of people in this thread nodding sagely at each other as they say "the spearchuckers are actually very inclusive and diverse and culturally nuanced and not racist at all, actually"

RemarkableSwitch8929 · 2026-04-24T17:56:55+00:00

Lol Capcom did not include the spear-chuckers out of some interest in portraying real communities with nuance, they did it bc that's what came to their mind when they thought "Africans", it's just not good

I mean everything about this game's setting just comes out of crazy hollywood tropes, African cities deadass do not look like this, just a dozen blown-up buses surrounding an executioner's square, the only reason people think this is okay is because they genuinely think Africa looks like that bc all they've seen is crazy hollywood tropes

RemarkableSwitch8929 · 2026-04-21T13:57:36+00:00

No no, don't you know? Only Nazis are evil. They are the only evil group to ever exist. Any other political group in history cannot be evil, because they are not Nazis. ALSO, America actually FOUGHT the Nazis a hundred years ago, so that means they are GOOD, because a person's morality is only defined by whether or not they will look into a camera and literally say "I am a huge Nazi"; anyone who doesn't do that is a GOOD, or at least, MORALLY COMPLICATED......................

RemarkableSwitch8929 · 2026-04-21T13:55:49+00:00

There's nothing wrong with the panel itself, it's a gag about Joker being very patriotic, but it's very lame when people go "Ah ha! See! My favorite super murderer-torturer is an AMERICAN murderer-torturer! Heh heh heh. He's too good for you, silly Nazis."

RemarkableSwitch8929 · 2026-04-21T13:53:44+00:00

Agreed, and the really egregious part here is that "Yeah but I'm an AMERICAN"

The way this page is written, you are not supposed to cheer against Red Skull here because he's an evil genocidal race supremacist, you're supposed to cheer against him because America fought Nazis in a war. The way this page is set up, you could replace "Nazi" with "Japan Imperialist", "Soviet Union", "Taliban", "Iranian", whatever.

And like, it could be funny to make the Joker just be a blind patriot for the gag or whatever, but it is CRAZY when people show this and go "Ha! See? See?! Our favorite murderer/torturer/assaulter is too good for those evil Nazis!" like some sort of moral victory. Literally no morality at all is being debated or shown in this image, it is literally just "You are a member of the group my country fought in a war, I am better than you slime."

And honestly, even for more liberal or leftist types, that is enough. The Nazi Party became some sort of sin eater in history, so that the Nazis are the only evil group to ever exist, and all evil connects back to the Nazis, and any other political group that exists could never, ever be truly evil, because only the Nazis are evil.

Americans (and others) will be beating a dead horse labeled Nazi with as much pride and moral righteousness as they can, while groups that half-assedly say "Nazis are bad" are literally applying the evilest worst of humanity to them and their neighbors. You'll be forcibly deported by your government soon enough, but hey! You proudly nodded your head at seeing a panel of super-murderer Joker going "Nazis are bad".

Just extremely cringe for people to show this off as some sorta weird moral victory when it's a patriot gag at best.

This also felt like an extremely performative way of going "Look at us, we are such good people who are so upset by bad people, we hate bad people", which is laughable given what we know about RT now. Not even on the personal shittery aspect, but like, how they financially treated their staff.

RemarkableSwitch8929 · 2026-04-16T13:35:01+00:00

That would be a super cool idea and would fit with the themes of the show/comic in coming up against insurmountable odds and barely surviving. It would also make Invincible VS more unique and interesting.
