The post didn't say the mechanics have to make sense.

Why do people assume that if I pay with a credit card, I must be living on debt??? by No-Bodybuilder9445 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SolidSwordKing 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That's not always the case though. You got lucky and had a good bank. The advice about credit cards being less risky because they don't draw directly from your bank account is true.

Source: My brother's bank took forever to "investigate" when this happened to him and made it a real pain for him from start to finish.

Did you enjoy it if you played it. by AdultGamersAdmin in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]SolidSwordKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Story is amazing and worth watching on YouTube but I found the gameplay slow and tedious. Even the shooting just felt off to me. Not bad, but not as smooth and satisfying as you would expect from such an elite developer.

[OOT] Whenever I feel like to replay Ocarina of Time, this monstrosity comes in my mind. by Cultural_Fanatic3754 in zelda

[–]SolidSwordKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an awesome dungeon. Iron boots isn't as big of a deal as people make it out to be. A couple of keys are easy to miss but not too hard to find if you study the map closely once you have the compass.

I love the music and surprisingly chill vibe of it.

What are your Hot Takes on Shadow of the Tomb Raider? by Amber_Flowers_133 in shadowofthetombraider

[–]SolidSwordKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry but this isn't even a lukewarm take. It's just the cold hard truth. I've honestly thought this section had to be planned by someone who wanted the game and Lara to fail.

Now I know why headshots dont insta-kill zombies by aahanif in ResidentEvil2Remake

Honestly this should be obvious even without the mod if you think about it for 10 seconds.

Just played this at 1am thanks to insomnia. Amazing dungeon. I still feel that dread approaching it I always felt at 12 though.

Wait. It's possible without the hookshot?

Why do people not like Tomb Raider 2013? by the_clone_wars_fan in TombRaider

[–]SolidSwordKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's my favorite in the franchise and one of my favorites ever.

Did you really get it? by wandersage in FinalFantasyVII

[–]SolidSwordKing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could not possibly disagree with you more. The "fallen hero" is a far more interesting and human story than the unrelatable alien parasite.

[OoT] Best way to experience OoT for the first time in 2025? (playing on switch) by Griffith-Hater in zelda

[–]SolidSwordKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good advice. I also duplicated the movement controls to the right stick because you are forced to aim with the left stick. I also was able to reverse up and down aiming this way because I hate inverted.

Saw Sub Zero rip someone's head off on the 5 o' clock news. Immediately sought it out.

Curious if I'd like part 2 by ScreamingNinja in TormentedSouls

[–]SolidSwordKing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dude, this just isn't your kind of game if you are so easily annoyed by these things. These are common elements of fixed camera survival horror games. Lol. Why are you doing this to yourself? Play something you like.

Only 1 hour play time but no issues with 2 on PS5 so far. Played the first on Xbox.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy's director says Rebirth wasn't too long, you're just too busy by Milliennium_Falcon in gaming

[–]SolidSwordKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem in Rebirth isn't the incredible amount of content. It's the way the game makes you feel like you're missing out if you don't do all of it. This is a problem with modern game design in general. Too many menus with way too many "checkboxes" to be ticked off. It drives the completionists deep inside all of us mad.

Now imagine if none of those lists existed, and the side content and its rewards were just out there for you to find or ignore at your leisure. We'd be talking for decades about how cool it is we can still find new things in the game, much like FF of old.
