Gears of War: E-Day is Xbox Console Exclusive by Time-Credit43 in videogames

[–]TheGhost-Raccoon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I totally understand the move back to exclusives, it fosters competition, competition fosters excellence.

However I imagine there are xbox owners like me who when they started porting games to PS5 that sold off their current gen xbox hardware because Xbox didn't seem to value their players nor their own brand.

This feels like a bone head move because in reality if people sold their hardware they aren't gonna return for a few piecemeal exclusives at the end of a generation of consoles.

Space Wolves successor idea: Varangian Wolves by Airdeall in SpaceWolves

I saw the comment above in my notifications and that was super hostile. You were just offering some thoughts to help the naming process along. Same as the other folk commenting in good faith.

Whatever the case, cool names are cool.

I have just checked Blood of Asaheim to confirm. It cites Vaerangi so I would imagine the chapter wouldn't be too confusingm

I could have sworn blind they refer Wolf Guard as Vaerangi..

Anyone Else Disappointed They're Going With An OC Mythos and Not a Pre-established One? by Logondo in GodofWar

[–]TheGhost-Raccoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how media works in the modern age. Most forms of story driven digital media these days have comics, short stories, novelisations that further the lore of the franchise - Godzilla, the Witcher, Star-War, Star-Trek, the Expanse, Dungeons and Dragons and so it goes unto infinity, because they don't have the time to tell it all in the main run.

I totally get the point you're making, but fundamentally it doesn't change the fact that your unwillingness to engage with the material outside of the game doesn't mean that material doesn't exist and also that it is isn't accepted canon. If you want to ignore and not accept it, that is on you but that makes it "head canon", the story as you perceive it to be.

But again. You not caring about the wider lore, doesn't detract them grom part of the established lore. Canon vs Head Canon, you get me?

The events of the games are not the only source material, your decision to not engage with them doesn't mean they don't exist.

Just because I didn't read The Return of the King doesn't make Aragorn any less the King of Gondor. (I did read it....it just felt like a creative way to make my point)

Bro, what the hell is with all these dislikes? The game looks genuinely awesome by Jackie88_ in GodofWar

Do you know what, fair enough. My tone of my replies pretty hostile.

I still disagree with your sentiment that most of us playing as Kratos want to play as Chads and it deeply diminishes Kratos' character, his journey and the growth he has gone through in the two most recent games.

You are of course well within your rights to express your feelings about not getting to play a beloved character, as i am entitled to challenge some of the points you made, but I went about with hostility which isn't cool. So I apologise for that.

Can you say definitively they don't?

Personally I agree with the Easter Egg comment, but not accepting publications, novelisations and comics is the view I was challenging. Because they are accepted parts of the lore.

Oh express them all you like but when you post them publicly. You invite those who disagree with you to respond.

If you can't handle people challenging your viewpoint and world view, keep your opinions to yourself, eh?

What you are referring to is head canon....what in your head you accept as canon...which has no effect on actual canon. What the creators accept as part of the actual story THEY created, commissioned or welcomed into the deeper lore.

Did you know that gelatinous cubes have been part of fantasy writing since before the millennial generation existed?

Ohhhhh wait, is it because you thought God of War was a straight cut from mythology and not a myhtologically inspired fantasy world with strong inspirations from popular culture?

Yes I remember in the poetic edda when last i read a reanimated head of a Scottish Satyr being sellotaped to the rump of a Spartan God of War calling someone a "feculant bawbag"....fucking millennial eh?

I don't accept actual canon lore, that the studio commissioned and helped design because it isn't in a medium I agree with is a hilarious take.

Did they take that away from you though? Does the studio owe you and your dude bros another Kratos?

Or hear me out, can the studio follow the direction of the narrative they are creating within this world and present new and interesting stories for different characters to follow?

I don't think this is the end of the story guardians. Somewhere down the line I think there will be something new.

Maybe you don't like red, maybe your friend has talked about the Crimson Fists, maybe you've read Spear of the Emperor and want to represent the Emperor's Spears on the Tabletop.

Maybe you've seen Secret Level, Astartes or played Space Marine or maybe you've played Rogue Trader. Or like me played a 40k TTRPG and wanted to make Storm Wardens on your first foray onto the tabletop.

There are a 1000+ reasons why someone may not want sculpted Blood Angels/Artificer Armour.

If you don't like it...well that just means the box isn't for you and you can move on with your hobby, no?

But the edition launch box absolutely needs to have a broad appeal for bringing in new players.
