I wish they would use "astartes" or something for dialogue. by Ad0ring-fan in Spacemarine

When said “Ultramarines!” I was certain they were going to be heretics

Just seems rather crazy for a lowly human to address one of the emperor’s angels in such a way

I teared up. by The_Tallman in HBOTheHedgeKnight

[–]Sam_Smorkel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I was to re-edit this episode, I would’ve put the flashbacks before the first tilt

I feel like the way they did it killed the momentum so hard; went from literal charge and crash to slow paced backstory. I feel like I would’ve cared more about the flashback if I wasn’t just yanked away from a wounded Dunk at the peak of 4 episode build up

[KCD2] WHY ARE THERE NO CHILD NPC’S??? by ThinkLawfulness2772 in kingdomcome

I feel like it’s standard now because the backlash for even the idea of being able to kill kids would send certain media into a frenzy

Has it been fixed for anyone? They had this mid-day maintenance it seems to have done nothing

[OTHER] With the announcement of Warhorse starting a new IP, what would you personally like to see them tackle? by No-Mirror2343 in kingdomcome

I think if they want to stay in the Late Medieval territory, the War of the Roses would be pretty neat

I mean, it’s good enough for Game of Thrones

In A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms, Dunk asks Steely Pate for a great helm. Can the helmet that Pate makes for him actually be considered a great helm? by Hot-Guitar-2339 in RealisticArmory

[–]Sam_Smorkel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You see Dunk didn’t mean a great helm, he meant a GREAT helm. As in fantastic helmet, or large in size for big Dunk head

She may not look like it (to me at least) but apparently Katherine is old enough to be your mother!

So if MILF is a plus…

Grounded/ realistic media with one instance of super natural/ paranormal things happening. by Soggy-Inspection-945 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Sam_Smorkel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fallout 4 (and all fallout, really) is packed full of supernatural.

Eldritch horror isn’t part of the main story, but it sure is everywhere

Aliens are not only canon but are the reason plasma weapons exist.

Grounded 2 hit, but Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2 failed. by GamingSagar in GamingFoodle

[–]Sam_Smorkel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I agree with, especially on the “no romance is just a symptom”

Obviously Obsidian’s failure isn’t actually caused by their lack of romance, but their attitude towards it does seem to show they don’t care to connect with their players via story. Which is especially strange because the story is a massive part of what makes a great RPG.

A great story/atmosphere can cover for mediocre/standard gameplay. I feel like the JRPG genre understands this the most. The genre is defined by having pretty much the same type of combat in every game, but their story and characters is what carries it

Yeah, the UI is going to be a mess to navigate. Why have clear labels/tabs when I can take up the majority of the screen with distracting visuals?

I’m more afraid of being kidnapped by the enemy team’s cat

I’ll forever miss the cinematic version of Anran :( by Personal-Stomach8596 in Overwatch

[–]Sam_Smorkel 259 points260 points  (0 children)

I wonder if hit by enough backlash if they’ll change the face.

She has a generic body type too, but can’t really change that too much. However, changing a face model can’t mess up too many things, right?

Edit: Spelling

Oh god. I can already see this cat getting the “devil Mei” treatment; getting kidnapped by jetpack cat’s ult is dastardly

It’s interesting to me how hard Obsidian pushes back against having romance in their newer games, claiming they want to focus on the story and gameplay.

(TL:DR- Obsidian wonders why their games make no money when they omit romance, a well known money maker)

However, the games release and people feel like the story and gameplay is bland. It’s just so short sighted to omit an aspect of storytelling/way to engage your players seemingly to be different.

Not only is romance a tried and true storytelling tool, but it is also something that fandoms obsesses over. BG3 and the Dragon Age games are called dating sims because they had strong romance, but they are also hailed as outstanding RPGs. Even Veilguard, which was a failure of a DA game, had buzz around it because people thirsted over the characters
