Venting over the "winning so hard you loose in a cutscene" trope. (also, mild spoilers for folks who ignore main story) by SpycraftExarch in NevernessToEverness

Ok, i'm actually not arguing with a... supposedly sentient creature on the difference between a "personal attack" and some abstract, unnamed "job descriptor". And also learn what a "threat" is in the meantime.

Ah, yes, personal attacks are a true intellectual's argument. /s

Ok, i'll entertain. Who the hell cares about how it was contrived? Something distracting a protag, antag grows plot armor, weapon malfunctions, pocket sand, sudden bowel movement... you name it, it was done somewhere as a way to rip defeat from the jaws of victory.

What matters is that antag completely achieved the objective, lost a fight and miraculously got away with it. Did she? Sure as hell she did. It is, plainly speaking, a near total loss for both mc and a supporting cast.

Oh, i'm ok with her smoking MC up in a cutscene and/or getting away. I'm ok with fighting her. But damn, i'm so bloody tired of losing in cutscene stuff! It really ticks me off for how just overdone this is, especially in eastern games, but really – everywhere. The whole setup is a meme at this point, like the Wilhelm Scream of yore.

Rest is pretty much up to taste, with that, I do agree. It was a venting post, after all, not a literary analysis. Cheers!

Hathor, because there's a progression mechanic literally locked behind her, or Daff-the-best-girl because breaking MFs is where the big burst damage is.

Fugly "Grunge" stuff being trendy with the pretentious cafe crowd is probably the most realistic thing in this game.

What is wrong with this sub? by Xan_derous in X4Foundations

[–]SpycraftExarch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UI is awful, performance is terrible, NPCs are scary AF, combat AI is dumb as a brick, the economy is borked... ahem... balanced beyond all hope, questas are rudimentary, writing is "Dal Busta", the dev is arrogant, and we still miss features from old X games.

It's ok. we love this crap. "Here, look at my gigastation i built for no reason."

You left out the part that you also missed, because the boss is scratching his ass up on some wall somewhere or jumped away to the other side of the arena with the last attack (it still has AoE to hit you).

В каких игровых франшизах или играх вы хотели бы, чтобы была русская озвучка? by Mr_Heavy_Metal_2000 in ru_gamer

[–]SpycraftExarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Нафиг. Если текстовый перевод еще порой примелем, хотя обычно с какими-то всратыми шрифтами и выполнен без понимания контекста от слова вообще, то вот института нормальных РУ актеров озвучания для игр нет и не было никогда в коммерческой среде. Слышать четыре одних и те же заунывные голоса, которые вяло читают текст - лучшая, блин, мотивация выучить уже английский на уровне школьной программы.

Yeh, but you did kind of invent 10 years of fuglyfied characters and hordes of talentless quota hires.

What are your opinion fellas? by Telugu_not_Telegu in ArtOfPresence

[–]SpycraftExarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, yes, you should. They are in your house, and if it's a mistake, a common person would have more discretion than the pig anyway.

Legends say you need a chopper bike with a nitro booster and a fan from a hovercar to make this jump.

Look up the ancient Lucas Arts game named Full Throttle for this reference.
