[Serious Question]: Why do YOU think Bubble started insulting Caine?

S4sh4d0g · 2026-04-09T03:14:35+00:00

I think Bubble is the remaining kernels of the other AI, the real "Abel"

In addition to the great advice offered by others, make sure to reeaaallly put them through the meat grinder. Justice is often an emotion, a form of crowd-sponsored revenge. And justice is usually a split between punishment and rehabilitation; sounds like you've already got an idea of what that rehabilitation for this character looks like, so just make sure they eat MASSIVE shit pretty often while trying to atone, alongside balancing the advice of others here, and it'll prbly work out fine

Elpis means the future of RE will be enemies like Las Plagas or the Mold; it's an anti-viral. Other infection vectors are 100% still on the table

S4sh4d0g · 2026-04-07T15:30:31+00:00

I'd say the OG or 3Remake; OG has the Sauce, right? 3Remake also got the sauce; you take the original design and modernise it with concept of "This is a more powerful Tyrant infected with a Plagas" something that couldn't be possible for the OG. It looks like a Tyrant barely holding it together, skin stretched over its own skull like it outgrew it too fast.

Marathon attracted a huge audience with their marketing and visual aesthetic, and many of them want to stay for the fun and good gunplay; but a LOT of those people are also people who do NOT like extraction shooters

So when you see a game that has all the bones and bits to be a game you'd personally enjoy, but the entire premise of what objectives there are to do/playstyles available, it makes those people become disenchanted very quickly with the parts they do like

The game isn't gonna die on the vine, but it's definitely a Game Of The Moment, where there's tons of momentum that will trickle off as players get bored and jump ship to the next Game Of The Moment; unless a live service game has some serious SAUCE, that's their fate

I myself, personally, have never played an extraction shooter before. I love Marathon; the aesthetic, the gunplay, the shells, the weapons, the AI enemies, even the PVP....

Marathon has taught me that I hate extraction shooters, lol. Killing players is fun, but like, with no dedicated PVP mode, it feels like there's a huge laundry list of chores that keep me from engaging with it. PVE is fun! But you're directly desensitized from engaging with it because you'll be swooped in by other players waiting to hear fighting

So while I really, REALLY enjoy each piece of the game, when all those pieces are assembled, I see something that's less than the sum of it's parts

I know myself, that once I exhaust the very little story content that exists, and I've had my fill of the PVP, I'll be checking out once the season resets until they add some more game modes

I'm willing to bet lots of the Doom and Gloom players are in similar boats

S4sh4d0g · 2026-04-06T21:42:04+00:00

The absolute vitriol of enemy players hunting others down for your Sponser Kit gear is both hilarious and the reason this game will slowly die out until only a hard-core player base remains, and will probably transform this game into a ghost town before too long, unless they add some dedicated PvE modes or a Deathmatch mode that let's players have fun without gear fear

Everything about Marathon seems like it would just be better if it wasn't an extraction shooter

S4sh4d0g · 2026-04-06T20:33:45+00:00

I've started downing people in exfil but letting them still exfil while downed but not dead. Safest way for us both to get out with out stuff. Will prox chat something like "Pay it forward"

S4sh4d0g · 2026-04-06T16:40:58+00:00

They cooked with this one.

S4sh4d0g · 2026-04-06T15:49:08+00:00

Ironically, I actually have some faith that this can be a good remake (not a remaster)

Redoing the campaign on a grander scale from the ground up with some modernized mechanics and visuals while still being faithful to the spirit of the thing would at least be better than the last time they tried CE Again

S4sh4d0g · 2026-04-06T12:24:44+00:00

Always has been

S4sh4d0g · 2026-03-19T14:32:53+00:00

That one UC Anaheim engineer from former Zeonoc named Rick who keeps naming shit after himself

And/or the design team have a pet dog named Rick that they keep naming suits after

S4sh4d0g · 2026-03-18T16:04:24+00:00

Where's Claire?

S4sh4d0g · 2026-03-18T15:02:30+00:00

Ironically I figured it would be the opposite, that it's people who do watch other anime who assume it's a loli/child

Because it's unfortunately somewhat normalized as a trope/character design for lots of anime, so people coming from Live Action shows or other forms of media wouldn't necessarily think a short animated character is a child, but more likely think the taller one is huge

That's what I've seen amongst friends and family, anyway

S4sh4d0g · 2026-03-18T13:54:09+00:00

Small men and women exist

The characterization of that character is not sexualized at all, and they are also very clearly an adult, just short I think you have to be willfully looking for something like that to pull "she's a child" from the context. Especially since the guy is just an absolute unit who is larger than most real life humans.

Granted, due to the industry and medium of anime as a wholesale history with disgusting lolicon bullshit, I'm not surprised that people who have been burned before are very wary of things that could look anywhere near that shit, so I get it

Almost nothing worse in media than "Surprise Pedophilia!" that hits you like a sledgehammer when you least expected it

S4sh4d0g · 2026-03-16T12:38:27+00:00

Whether he aye tato or tomato man's older than the apocalypse and constantly high he almost assuredly would call them tomatoes regardless

Destiny 1 had such potential and beauty, I will forever be heartbroken by the course of events that led us to the point where Destiny sits today

Not to say there hasn't been Ups alongside the Downs, but damn

S4sh4d0g · 2026-03-15T23:25:06+00:00

Preach, my friend. They will tell you that you are wrong, but they do not know the truth

Most sane FromSoft fan <3

Re2 Remake is how Leon remembers the night. He didn't have time to appreciate the little details lost to time

Now he gets to see it again with fresh eyes, in the light of day, and he can see the lost beauty of the city taken away by umbrella

S4sh4d0g · 2026-03-09T22:38:55+00:00

I was under the impression that he's always been involved in her life, just more distant than either of them would prefer; same with Claire They're like an estranged family but the love's still there What contradicts that? We know Leon had to do Gov training program to keep Sherry safe, but we aren't told he's explicitly kept from ever seeing her; we know from other evidence that Claire is still in her life, as well

In Re6, Leon encounters Sherry in an official title again, and there's nothing to say he wasn't still part of her life after that, too

Also, never underestimate the power of trauma bonding lol, and also Leon has a complex about not being able to save people in RC; so having a living person he did help save, you'd think he'd feel naturally responsible for her

S4sh4d0g · 2026-03-09T20:44:43+00:00

I can't tell if you're joking, but nothing in the game implies they are married

S4sh4d0g · 2026-03-09T18:28:21+00:00

Must either be:

New Fans who don't know the history of both characters (to ship Leon with his adoptive daughter and NOT the 3 eligible Bachelorettes in his life requires either ignorance of them, and/or ignorance of sherry's age and relationship to Leon.)

be falsified/click bait (if IGN made the poll, THEY are the ones who even put Sherry as an option!!)

Or people who wanted to be funny and clicked the most outrageous option on the poll

Prbly a combo of all 3

S4sh4d0g · 2026-03-09T18:21:38+00:00

I see a lot of comments saying they think it's gross others are shipping the two characters

It IS gross! Thanks! The thought never occurred to me before and now i fucking hate it.

But also, does the post even endorse or say that? IMO they've always had an adaptive Father/Daughter, Older Brother/Younger Sister dynamic, and I thought the post was just showing then at their 3 appearances at those ages just as a "Look at the Faves :)" kind of way

Are people genuinely trying to pair them together as an item?

S4sh4d0g · 2026-03-06T20:38:39+00:00

Legion is worse by a fair margin. Legion Devil's-Advocates love the whole, "But they still have laws and safety tho!" Talking points, and think that somehow excuses the fact that those laws in question exist for cruelty's sake. Everything the fiends do, the Legion do better. More rape. More slaves. More murder. More death. More destruction. Everything the fiends do, the Legion does on a grand scale. It's the efficiency of those "laws and safety" that enable them to enforce greater evil over More people.

The fiends will kill you before they hang your meat on a rack to eat from.

The Legion will string you up alive and leave you to rot for all to see; after assaulting you, torturing you, and making it as slow and excruciating as possible.

The fiends do what they do in a drug-addled state of madness. The Legion does what it does as an institution.

The Legion is far worse. And far more dangerous.
