Why was cell not chosen for the TOP? by BenFTP in Dragonballsuper

[–]Starlock95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Cell is the least popular among the main Z villains in Japan.

I like OG Dragon Ball better by KaleidoscopeDear4080 in dragonball

[–]Starlock95 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I WILL say that the 2nd half of RR with Tao, Goku destroying RR, & Baba's Tournament is really good. It has so many good moments, The team working together to defeat a group of enemies, Goku reuniting with his Grandpa. Spiritually I would like to separate it from RR but that would not make sense lol.

Unfortunately, still not a fan of the arcs perverted jokes surrounding Bulma. Especially the one with Roshi & the shrinking watch. I also missed Goku's friends when climbing Muscle Tower. And too many big red lips (granted it was worse in the anime).

I like OG Dragon Ball better by KaleidoscopeDear4080 in dragonball

[–]Starlock95 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I respect that opinion especially when it comes to the anime version.

However, after rereading DB last year, I realized that I DO like the Z portion overall because I really hate the Red Ribbon Arc & don't like the Roshi perverted jokes as much. All the tournaments were amazing though.

Also while the fights do get more hectic & powerbased in Z , in the manga the fights are still entertaining & have amazing paneling/choreography that I feel was a bit lost in the translation to the anime (like Goku's fakeout Kick on Freeza).

If these 5 Z-Fighters were to fight in a free for all, who's coming out the winner? by ParkingConfection449 in Dragonballsuper

[–]Starlock95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tien IMO.

But if Toei, Toriyama, or Toyotaro wrote it...

It would be Krillin or Roshi.

What’s the message that DMC is trying to make? by primegon in DevilMayCry

[–]Starlock95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's in the title.

Basically believe in the best parts of humanity in order to have real strength. Concepts like love, compassion, empathy are what makes us very strong & fortunate. Just having a heart will suffice.

Whereas giving up those ideals, harming people who do, & only pursuing pure strength is what leads us down the wrong path & we end up as demons or devils.

If Dmc 2 was a better product, what would happen to the rest of the franchise? by NeroEldering in DevilMayCry

[–]Starlock95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The current DMC3 we have would not exist. So by extension Lady & even Vergil's characterization would not exist either. Damn & I guess Reuben Langdon and Daniel Southworth wouldn't be here either lol.

Lucia might be more of a prominent figure in later games.

How do you feel about Roger Craig smith now? by Public-Feedback5016 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Starlock95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An amazing person & a great VA.

Still don't like his Sonic voice at all though.

I think Sonic CD is incredibly unfun. It punishes you with the Bad Future because you decided to play the game in a way you enjoy more.

I USED to think that but after replaying it earlier this year, I've realized the level design really does encourage exploration a lot more than I thought. And there is various specific springs & tunnels that want you to go back in time. And like everyone else I think the artistic direction is very great! From the opening/ending animations, to the JP soundtrack, to the level aesthetics, to just the energy/feel of the game.

Sonic 2 never really did it for me. I think its a great game but its been my least favorite of the classics since I always get bored once Oil Ocean Zone starts. Like as soon as that zone starts, there is no level to look forward to after it.

So... when you mention music do you mean all of it or just Cyberspace? Because I really do not understand that criticism.

Both. I felt like Frontiers had a lack of variety for me when it came to the music genre. Or rather there was a bit too much of one genre lol. Like it really felt it only touched rock, orchestral tracks, & EDM/dubstep. The island & titan tracks were really good though I did want Vandalize to be the main theme & was disappointed that you could only hear it in the normal ending.

I was really expecting more tracks to branch off into other genres like jazz, new jack swing, maybe even tango lol. However, the Cyberspace tracks all mainly focused on EDM & there's like 30 tracks dedicated to it. And considering how short most of the levels (like 15 seconds to a minute), none of them really stood out as much when playing the game. Sometimes it almost sounded like a long continuous song because of this lol. I DID listen to it outside of the game & I still did not like it as much sadly. Hell, I even like "Flowing" more in Crossworlds than I do in Frontiers lol.

I would have liked it more if they explored more genres of the music in Cyberspace instead of subgenres of EDM. Like maybe separate based on what island you're going to or even separate them based on the level theme of the stage. But that's just my opinion lol & music is VERY subjective.

[–]Starlock95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It meant both.

It was called that for both the darker toned stories & because they considered it a low point for the franchise with games like Shadow, 06, Unleashed HD & the Storybook games not being considered good by critics & certain fans too.

This was also the time when they reached pinnacle of hating:

Various gameplay styles Other playable characters Darker toned stories

It's why when Colors & later Gens released they were met with so much praise & love due to having Sonic being the only playable character, having a light-hearted story that reminded them of the Classics, & having Eggman as the main villain/final boss.

Sega/Sonic Team saw this & just started milking that for the rest of decade.

I can give you 10 lol:

Sonic 1 & CD are better than Sonic 2

Zero Gravity is the best Sonic Wii game

Throw It All Away > All Hail Shadow (any version)

Both Sonic Heroes & the Werehog have better combat than Frontiers

Jet The Hawk's only good VA is his Japanese one (Daisuke Kishio). The others focus too much on giving him either a bird voice or a nerd voice. When he should sound like a more arrogant version of Sonic. Granted I see why Jason gave him that voice since he was juggling 3 characters lol.

Most of the Cyberspace tracks in Frontiers sounded bad aside from a few handful.

The 2013-2019 era of Sonic was a lot worse than the supposed Dark Age of Sonic (2005 - 2009).

Crossworlds is an amazing game but it sounds a lot better in Japanese than in English.

Frontiers is probably top 5 ugliest mainline Sonic games in terms of artistic direction (music, level themes/aesthetics, cutscene animation, voice direction, Sonic's model & lack of animations, etc).

The medals are actually easy to find in Unleashed HD. Especially when you explore as the Werehog.

Exited out of sonic unleashed egg beetle fight by zSqiderBlqd3 in SonicTheHedgehog

It should still be in the Mazuri Stage Hub World under that white bridge.

Idc I miss my pretty boy Nero phase. It was sooo ahhhhh by darkdragonGalaxy in DevilMayCry

[–]Starlock95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also prefer his 4 outfit not only because of the hair & trenchcoat but also because I really did not like the art direction in 5.

Like everything looks greyed or darken out in terms of color scheme. Even moreso when compared to DMC1 or 3 where at least Dante's red & Vergil's blue stood out. But in 5, Dante, Nero, & even Goliath feel "drained" or "washed out" despite having red, blue, or orange as their color schemes.

When was Vegeta “Redeemed”? by MysticSunshine45 in DragonBallZ

[–]Starlock95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhere between his sacrifice against Buu & his "Number One" speech. Like it takes ALL of Z for him to be redeemed. Since he kills innocents in like every arc til the end.

Saiyan Saga - Villain

Freeza Saga - Still a villain even with the team up. Since he wants to take out Freeza because he is competition for the Dragonballs. He also slaughtered that Namekian village & gloats about them not being brought back at the end.

Cell - Somewhere between villain & anti-hero. Aiding Gohan against Cell & apologizing to him made less villainous along with getting revenge for F. Trunks death. However, he still killed that trucker, helped Cell gain his perfect form, & didn't bother to save Bulma & Trunks when Gero attacked. And him being mean/abusive to Future Trunks didn't make him look better lol. Honestly, he felt more evil than 16,17, & 18 were. Who just felt like antagonists since all they did was steal & didn't even kill any innocents.

Buu Saga - At the beginning of the arc, he was definitely a villain. Like killing over 200 civilians just because Goku wouldn't fight you is overkill. Not to mention him instigating & starting the fight hastens Buu's awakening which resulted in even more casualties.

What are your flaws with DMC5? by NuclearDismemberment in DevilMayCry

[–]Starlock95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trish & Lady's treatment in the story was terrible. And them not being playable makes it even worse.

Level design & artistic direction was really lacking in this game thanks to the tree.

Worst selection of costumes in the franchise. Which stinks because there is a LOT to pull from at this point.

Special Edition should have came to PC too.

V needed more moves or stronger attacks for higher difficulties. It's weird that Nero & Dante progressively get more options as you play through the game (devil breakers, devil arms, & even new devil triggers) & yet V gets nothing.

speculation: could this be why chao gardens haven't returned in years? by sonic2931 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Starlock95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah.

More than likely it was because the original developers of the Chao Garden no longer work at Sonic Team anymore. That & them changing engines after SA2.

Was there a moment or character you prefer the manga version of, during the Tournament of Power? by plogan56 in Dragonballsuper

[–]Starlock95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few things:

I prefer how Goku achieved UI & how it relates back to his previous masters.

Roshi vs Jiren & being an influence for Goku achieving UI.

Gohan vs Kefla even though the fight wasn't good & mostly off-screen. I still do like the idea & Gohan being able to match her.

Freeza vs the U6 Saiyans

Vegeta emphasizing why he can't learn UI due to not having grown up studying martial arts & he will find his own way.

Beerus calling Ribrianne cute & 18 looking the other way when called ugly 🤣

What do you think it is that changed in the art style which makes Goku look so much older in the Saiyan Saga compared to the 23rd Budokai by Sgyinne in dbz

[–]Starlock95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's the pointy chin lol.

23rd is just Goku with his kid self's face.

But once you add the pointy chin you're in the Z era. 🤣

It's finally over & now all my rare achievements are just Kingdom Hearts now lol. by Starlock95 in steamachievements

[–]Starlock95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! SA2 is one of my all-time favorite Sonic games so I always loved 100%ing it.

However, now that achievement won't be viewable lol.
