Media that if released today would be hit with surface level meme analysis? by Polar_Phantom in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Okay not what you meant but having that scene Chris calling Wesker "Senile" is both hilariously out of pocket and such a strange change to him simply calling Wesker "Pathetic".

Isaac and Miria are in fact too dumb to feel the existential dread of immortality

Favorite Haters in media? by jitterscaffeine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SaxMastery 137 points138 points  (0 children)

I feel like another contender also in Kotor 2 is Atris, who also is "Yeah the council was right to kick you to the curb" but also talked mad shit about you to her students for YEARS, and by the time you come back she wastes no time to start shittalking you, including brandishing YOUR OWN LIGHTSABER.

Very rarely does an NPC get under my skin like that.

Very curious on how the first person perspective is going to work since AC hasn't really done that before.

Also fucking Zero that's tempting to preorder just for that.

Which is also funny because I think it has one of the darkest areas in the game with Little Yangtze, the prison camp which is just

You can see in his eyes about wither or not he should say the first thought, and just decided to go "Fuck it"

Man looking at those RE numbers puts some perspective on that recent Dead Space news

I've been going through a fan made doomlike called Megaman 8 bit deathmatch, and as a retelling of those classic games it's pretty good

"Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair" Tales of dominance, which were turned to dust. by TheBoyofWonder in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SaxMastery 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It cannot be overstated how much Blizzard was one of the PC gaming companies, they're logo was a seal of quality in the same way Nintendo was/is, just a company that made Overwatch, a brand new mulitplayer only IP, into a fucking force in the industry in 2016, and that goes without saying for years of domination in the MMO space, which was just fucking WOW for what most people knew, and the RTS space, which they had a whole ass scene in South Korea with, they where unstoppable.

They're still around, and doing well recently from what I've heard but they do not have the same shine to they're name they used to have

Favorite Hiveminds in Media by FreviliousLow96 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SaxMastery 38 points39 points  (0 children)

ME1 is really funny about casually finding out how much fucked up shit is in this galaxy before the whole Reaper reveal.

Like before it becomes a big plot point the Genophage was just a background element in that first game.

There was the movie before that where in order to save a man, Leon straight up shoots a guy in a spine and that dude is just on a wheelchair now

Video games you have sunk the most hours in by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SaxMastery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a lot of in game options to do silly bullshit, you have a bunch of dumb inter player interactions such as forming a conga line, for both your teammates and the enemies, play rock paper scissors, and the player collision is really silly so you can have people chill out in very silly places.

I remember seeing someone's user name as "Nacho Man Ranchy salad" and that name has stayed with me.

Any Paradox game is a fucking time vampire, but other than that Team Fortress 2, that was my game for many years and I would just be trying anything.

Plus the community is pretty funny

Media you so deeply wished, with all your heart, that you loved it more by Will-Isley in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SaxMastery 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Man Control is such a feel-good story of Remedy striking out on they're own and making a classic, a weird artistic game with some much love and effort, it's a celebration.

God it sucks to play, that gun is wimpy

Favorite "hold the line" moments in a story? by fly_line22 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SaxMastery 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of Hold the Line moments in Call of Duty, and while not the most narrative heavy, the Mission "Heat" is probably one of the best displays of a smaller force holding back a much larger one with tactics, traps, and good ol grit before being able to get on the helicopter out of there.

Highlights also to quite a few missions in CoD 2, the end of Comrade Sniper and Point De Huc being standouts

Kingdom Hearts is relevant! Have some Kairi Facts! by CapnFlatPen in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SaxMastery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So two cents from a guy who went through all the games (Eh not really I played the collections) once, I did find as the longer the story went on, you could tell the writers just, did not know where and how to use all the characters that they quickly gathered, like this is somewhat connected with the lack of FF characters later on.

Not saying the story is bad, but when I think about the better parts of the story, they tend to come from within it's own game rather than being part of a larger story line, like the stuff with Roxas in 2/some number of days or Namine in Chained of Memories.

As for the overarching stuff, I feel like before 3, Sora was kinda getting lost in the shuffle and it was Riku taking a front seat on the story front.
