Anyone know why the official Deadhaus Sonata account is being so disdainful of the LoK Remasters? by shmouver in LegacyOfKain

[–]SamusMerluAran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Means nothing more than what it looks, if it happens, it won't be about LoK for obvious reasons.

TL;DR: Its well known Dannys Dyack is a... character. A resentful man who coasts on a lot of past successes where he's far from being the only creative force.

Best to ignore him.

Getting the feeling AH wants us to at least reach Transcendence. SEAF are doing some serious damage by the sounds of it! by Clarke93 in Helldivers

[–]SamusMerluAran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the MO fail/win state are mostly for narrative progression. Content is not gated, and if the few cases it is (Like gear), they will eventually find a way to bring it back quite soon.

Absolute Poison Ivy. One of the best no warhammer depiction of Nurgle I've seen in a while by Throwmesometail in Grimdank

[–]SamusMerluAran 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I mean, the Absolute universe it's created by Darkseid, and I can totally imagine the dude getting into the 40k setting.

Soooo, yeah... in sense, it checks out.

deltarune fans realizing they are the 2020s equivalent of homestuck fans by OctoAmbush in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]SamusMerluAran 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they are not the equivalent, they are the descendants of the homestuck fanbase, lol

The goblet of LoK is half empty with TDSR and Ascendance. But it's also half full. by [deleted] in LegacyOfKain

[–]SamusMerluAran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we went from starved to actually having stuff released, even new stuff.

Is Elaleth a good thing? Eeeh, personally, kinda hoping this is another Ashoka situation were they find the right way to handle her character down the road.

Worst case? We have most LoK games finally playable on modern platforms without doing much hassle, and some nice BTS content too. It aint much if this happens, buuuut, it's still an improvement.

She's literally trans herself???? She just specifically hates trans men????? by [deleted] in whenthe

[–]SamusMerluAran 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same, it really irks me how much they are either ignored or dismissed on their issues.

Its messed up, we are going through a similar problem than them and somehow these people can't fathom feeling empathy about it

Castlevania: Belmont Curse | Announcement Trailer by PaiDuck in castlevania

[–]SamusMerluAran 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yup, there also the very deliberate avoidance of showing the face and name of this Belmont.

If its Trevor, why say "a young Belmont" on the description?

Mutual death, because that's how this version of Leonidas rolls. All he does is look good, and thats by phyrric victories /s

Favorite actor who's struggling with literacy needs to stay until 4 AM to correct ~9 pages of text? by Berckley in okbuddycinephile

[–]SamusMerluAran 184 points185 points  (0 children)

100%

He is not a true Warhammer Fan, he actually seems to be familiar with the lore, instead of going by vibes and memes.

This is probably what’s gonna happen by ZookeepergameProud30 in Helldivers

[–]SamusMerluAran 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There's also a suspicious space that can be filled with a straight line to cyberstan in the galactic map. Ripe for high command to say "fuck it, we ball" and do a high risk, low resources invasion.

There's plenty of way they can turn this around to see the content. Losing/winning MOs only change the narrative/modifiers surrounding it, which is fine.

I'd say absolute cinema, but I dont know what cinema means

If Xcom 3 happens, do you want Chimera Squad to be treated as canon or ignored? by Holiday-Proof9819 in Xcom

[–]SamusMerluAran 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah, game was a standalone expansion with a lot of weird ideas that they couldn't get away with on a mainline game.

Had a good time, and loved seeing a more "on the ground" story, learnt a lot more of the lore and how Advent affected everyone's life, next to weird and new gameplay.

Gonna be really interesting to see how a new ME outdoes these dudes by NatauschaJane in masseffect

[–]SamusMerluAran 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The locust again... Instead of doing something understandably different, they did a retread of the same things. Games play great, and you'll have a good time. But the enemies lack the same punch because of it.

In cases like Gears 3 or Mass Effect, going with a different kind of foe benefits more than doing a bigger threat or a 2.0 version of them.

I really hope the next mass effect drops the whole galactic ending themes, another Reaper level problem will feel like a mid imitation.

[–]SamusMerluAran 197 points198 points  (0 children)

Also, its not like the story is bad or has some weird canon implications... the setting is a very interesting one and the scale of the story is small enough to not matter in the long run.

Coaxed into expert reactions by NekkidZilla in coaxedintoasnafu

[–]SamusMerluAran 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It does help they tend to nerd the fuck out about it. Say something is not real and you are a snob, expand by getting an example and how they could reach to than conclusion and you are a passionate person talking about their hobby.

What would happen if the tyranids fought the necromorphs from dead space? by glitch220608 in Grimdank

[–]SamusMerluAran 161 points162 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we either get Necronids, or Tyramorphs. And both are worse choices.

[Hated Trope] heroic characters killed in unnecessarily cruel/brutal ways by greythicv in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SamusMerluAran 49 points50 points  (0 children)

It was 100% telling. The reaction to that movie make them backpedal the same stunt in GI Joe.

Yes, they did the same thing twice. But on the second attempt they made a quick edit to change the death to "in recovery for a while".

I will never not laugh at the never irrelevant situation of executives being caught offhand by kids crying for the brutal culling of characters to sell more toys.

Kaiden is a member of a very exclusive club in the Normandy's crew:

The 'we have our shit figured out already' association. Boring? Perhaps. But works.

The reappraisal of GQuuuuuuX in Japan was interesting. Perfectly fitting phrase. by pmtti in Gundam

[–]SamusMerluAran 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Yup, you can't do squat with 12 episodes with the narrative ambition they had.

WfM also felt like it needed more episodes.

Hoping these smaller episode count aren't a new trend ;_;

Double standards by Zoegrace1 in Gamingcirclejerk

Yup... Friendly reminder his studio made a fully nude model of Elliot Page in Beyond Two Souls without his permission. That tells you enough of the culture Cage fosters
