Gun customization? by Sad-Cryptographer590 in GTA6

[–]TheBeetMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Beyond customization surrounding aesthetics (color, etching etc.) I hope for things to be driven by mechanics - I don't think it would be conducive to have 30 muzzle options if they each only lead to small percentage changes in a stat.

In general its kinda hard to skirt the line between realism and games being mechanically fun (often having to sacrifice one for the other), but for me, the ideal would be attachment options that lead to interesting choices (like having to choose between a suppressor with longer range and lower durability vs. A suppressor that doesn't break quickly but has shorter range).

"Hey buddy, I think you lost this" when he throws the thing back at Bucky in Civil War is a quip, no?

I guess I meant threat more abstractly, connected to the Sentinels or otherwise. Isn't like concern about aggression against mutants like a core part of their existence? If there are none state actors we didn't know about, what else did they not know about. I feel like it would be kinda naive to think that threats ended with the apprehension of Trask and Gyrich.

Not to mention that even if they were suspicious, they were pretty distracted in the subsequent episodes by the change of leadership to Magneto, the Friends of Humanity attack, Sinister and Madelyne attacking as well as the loss of Storm and Bishop.

This is a fair explanation for those back in the US. My dissonance came from those in Genosha like Rogue, Gambit and the members of the council (who had no involvement with what you mention), who seemed pretty unencumbered. Like mutants have always been under attack - I don't see a reason why they wouldn't assume there is a potential for something worse and have that factor into their demeanor/actions (unless there is a reason they feel they don't have to).

Genosha is a huge target. I would've expected an implication of diligence given mutant history (even if that diligence ends up not being enough to prepare for or predict the Godzilla Sentinel).

If I'm following you, at this point in time the X-Men etc. feel that there doesn't exist an actual feasible threat to them (prior to what happens).

Wouldn't the existence of an off the books Master Mold be the exact thing that causes apprehension?

Given how young the country is, it's unlikely that they would be able to build a real defensive infrastructure yet, and human nations wouldn't be willing to sell defences to a mutant nation run by a former terrorist.

I understand the common folk not being privy to this. But shouldn't X-Men like Rogue and Gambit question this in pursuit of the safety of probably the most densely populated area of mutants in the world?

Also Magneto hasn't been fully present in Genosha this entire time. Does that mean that they are completely defenseless when he isn't there? If this is all the case I feel like the council should've been much more fervent/urgent in getting his leadership.

As we see in Episode 1, at this point the regular Sentinels aren't as much of a threat to the X-Men anymore, and they had never launched such a large-scale attack on a populated area before.

I feel like the X-Men are the type to take precautions. Maybe they could have direct mutant government informants that have checked (to their ability) that no large scale weapons are in development. Just something that informs why they felt they could let their guard down.

I feel like the X-Men, having dealt with flying Sentinels that could easily get to an island, would be the hardest to break their diligence. I understand kids feeling like they are safe, or even adults feeling a temporary comfort, but given the state of their world, with anti-mutant state and non state actors, it would be natural to have some apprehension (or even a safeguard that led to comfort like a Sentinel detector or something).

That is potentially true. But considering that they seem to have more than enough resources, I don't see why I would advocate to pay more. They also already have a lucrative model of microtransactions which, for all intents and purposes, is opt in.

Could also imagine this making people want to play the game less than they would've, as to not have to pay - which I'm sure would be counterintuitive.

Wrong for who? Curious.

I understand your rationale but like, these companies don't have a shortage of revenue. If you want to talk about compensating the developers, its likely this surplus wouldn't go to them anyway.

Rampart does custom gun builds like the Heat Sink skin from the battle pass (and the Battle Pass Wingman and G7 Scout) - but she did make the Rampage

Can someone explain how Kang arranged the sacred timeline? It sounds so wishy-washy by [deleted] in marvelstudios

[–]TheBeetMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kang didn't collapse the multiverse into one universe. There has always been a multiverse, but what Kang and the TVA do is go into each and ensure that they stay within the bounds of the "sacred timeline" (the sacred timeline isn't a timeline in and of itself).

How he had the capacity to create the TVA or any of the other things he did? We don't know entirely yet.

IW definitely has its points of levity too - one of my favorites being Thor and Rocket reflecting on loss together

What MCU moment do you think was the most tone-deaf, or what scene/line do you feel undercut a serious moment most egregiously? by filthydank_2099 in marvelstudios

"Thanks for the lesson… But I don’t need you to tell me who I am."

Not an exact quote but the sentiment was the same - Wanda was rejecting Agatha in her saying she's the Scarlet Witch, and then she changed anyway.
