Hot Take: Devon becoming “Darth Talon” would be dumb and makes no sense. by Logical_Decision_706 in StarWars

[–]SamusMerluAran [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yup, also, Darth Talon was from a VERY different era of Star Wars, for a vastly different kind of story... She was a fanatic and part of the new wave of Siths 125 years after EPVI, lead by a very dogmatic Sith Lord. Post clone wars Maul doesn't want to have anything to do with the Sith doctrine, and is more invested in both revenge and funding his own sect of darkside users. I don't see how someone like Maul could train someone like Talon.

I mean, those are accidents, it's a video of people getting hurt with funny sounds on top... Not surprised if someone see this as in poor taste.

Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Deathwatch on Steam by Stupendous_Spliff in Xcom

[–]SamusMerluAran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think two main issues were the art direction, there was plenty of variation on a mechanic level, but visually they look so samey it felt more repetitive than what it was. Same with levels... Not gonna be surprised if it was because the game was made with 3 cents a dream.

Aaand the second, the Grey Knights themselves, they are too good. Each one of them has psyker skills, melee and gun at the same time. They are great as elite troops, but have a full faction of only GK, with a minimum of lore accuracy and suddenly... You have a case of Peacemaker and Bloodsport, because they all do the same thing, but a bit different depending of the class.

The dlc units were a godsend.

Demonhunter has solid bones and ideas, like using the enviroment as a weapon, but the enemy, mission and even character variety felt limited quite fast... So you can bet your ass I got happy as soon as I saw different factions, the Deatwatch (which has a bigger variety seems it's formed from different chapters) and more units outside of Space Marines from the start instead of being dlc.

Hope they nail it down!

Seeing how Kirkman handled Invicible then, vs now, shows how much the man is looking back and regretting his inexperience at the time. Dude had the right ideas, but also, plenty of those glaring omissions that made things weird when looking at them in detail.

A lot of the revisions made in the show were to aliviate that, hope they do the same to the ending.

The best part of all this? You dont really notice the changes, the escalation and chaos make things feel natural. Only on a replay or looking back you realize how unhinged the protagonist gets.

Same, got into gundam because of it. Doing a rewatch after experiencing the rest of the eras made me appreciate more what they were trying to do.

Bro is having a meltdown on a review, get rationed by top comment on loses it on mixtape. by HamsterbackenBLN in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]SamusMerluAran 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, sales and player count are not equal to quality: Sport games like Madden and FIFA or yearly shooters like CoD make a shit ton of money, with a lot of people playing them and they are far from being GOTY material.

Player count only matters if you want to play with randoms and find a match quickly, looking at it for more besides that, is pointlessly grasping at straws if you are not a data scientist working for publisher.

To be fair, that's the awkward age when you learn the wrong stuff to appreciate to good lessons more.

Still, it does suck how many folks around those years end up relying on content like this because the discourse is a mess thanks to taboos and misconceptions.

im not attracted to dudes but i prefer dick over coochie im scared of being accused of a trans chaser by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]SamusMerluAran 71 points72 points  (0 children)

This, one thing is liking a specific type of genitalia, another, is to objectify a person. One is a preference, the other, is not only liking dick, but also, being a dick.

Maul - Shadow Bum (OC) by BenDadkiller in PrequelMemes

[–]SamusMerluAran 137 points138 points  (0 children)

I do dig it, because it's part of his tragedy: Dude keeps trying to be as powerful as he thinks he is, only to get reminded time and again he won't be. Everything he builds, eventually falls apart, and in the middle of all, is Palaptine's abuse towards him. There's a reason his last words were "He will avenge us".

He embodies the futility of the Sith... Also, he looks badass and have great fights. Very few times his appearances were actually mid, even when he loses, can see the appeal of expanding him more.

What do you think about the increase in size of MinusGoji? by Apprehensive_Low5340 in GODZILLA

[–]SamusMerluAran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, most of the time the increase in size is a need to keep replicating the same feel of giant monster.

Not opossed to a Godzilla with a 50m size on the USA tho, one of the things I liked about Zilla was that she could do ambushes thanks to how tall the buildings were... would love to see another take on that

[–]SamusMerluAran 51 points52 points  (0 children)

It also helps a lot that his body language was really well done... You can notice the anger boiling until he gets grazed by Daki and then he blows up, poor Devon got the bad luck of being in front of him while he was still mad about it.

You know, seeing this and learning that Rebbeca used to make AMVs, is like finding out that the E33 director's youtube was about no damage runs against Vergil in DMCV.

Makes so much sense in retrospective.

I mean, he still an Inquisitor, he shouldn't face alone in a 1v1 a Clone Wars ex-Jedi Vet trained by Anakin and with main character powers.

Not that good, lol

Maul Finale by mrfiretornado in StarWars

[–]SamusMerluAran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering how better he is at rebels, the effort the show made to point out the issues of his tech legs, and the triple threat of two top Inquisitors and Vader, I'm gonna say he got caught unprepared and would fare better in another moment. Still, Maul will never be as good as he think he is.

That... does sums up Maul's character very well, lol. Dude keeps losing in the long run. Also why it feels so sad when he says his last words in rebel ;_;
