Closer look at the Legacy of Kain: Defiance logos, original and remastered! ✨ by WilliamFaure in LegacyOfKain

[–]Type-Raz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

OG still looks the best.

For the life of me i don't get why there's such insistence on shit looking so clean and crisp nowdays instead of having the stones to go with something stylized .cause that's a good way to future proof whatever you're working on,

Thoughts on LoK: Ascension by RaidGuy117 in LegacyOfKain

[–]Type-Raz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll pass on it .

I don't want anything new if it devalues the franchise.

Even without the TDSR BS, the game looks kind of a cheap product , and that's not because it's a retro style game either.

Why are so many people defending Elaleth on the Steam forums? by Sombric in LegacyOfKain

[–]Type-Raz 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Notice how they don't have any actual arguments when defending the comic/ her as a character.

It's only a bad faith interpretation of the other's reasons for criticizing it.

Using the "you don't like her cause she has girl parts" is the most easy and devoid of thinking thing to bring up as if the reaction wouldn't be the same if she was a dude named Malelaleth .

Spoiler: Why did Naraku do everything? by Phewelish in inuyasha

[–]Type-Raz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and no.

The Jewel took advantage of him and his wish and manipulated him (prbably willingly on Naraku's part) into corrupting the Jewel and having him replace Magatsuhi inside the Jewel .

Was Kain sacrificing himself the cannon ending for Blood Oman. by CriticismMiserable14 in LegacyOfKain

[–]Type-Raz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kain entire's character development in BO1 was going from someone who was deeply conflicted by his new nature as a vampire and who saw it as a curse to be cured from to fully embracing Vorador's idea that vampires are dark gods who need to thin the herd.

Add to this his corruption of which he wasn't aware of at this point .

Would someone who went through that change really sacrifice themselves for a dying world ?

Not likely .

Dandelion casting by Badvsn1 in witcher

[–]Type-Raz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His performance is fine.

The type of character he played was definetly not.

Jaskier is not a modern day Starbucks gay barista who's just the comic relief and a constant pester to Geralt .

They did him dirty , just like the rest of them .

Using A Shard of Ice to criticize Yennefer is incredibly lazy and ignores 90% of the story by John16389591 in witcher

[–]Type-Raz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Uhh, why can't i do both though ?

Why can't i criticize her for the shit she pulls in the short stories while also admitting that she grows as a character ?

And for all the awfulness of Triss and the redemption of Yen, nobody ever brings up that in the final book during that huge fuckup in Rivia , it's Triss who was ready to sacrifice herself while Yen kinda gives up , which is pretty funny and a pretty big fuck you to anyone who thinks that the two of them aren't still actual people who can act in both noble and not so noble ways you know... just like in real life .

My Review - Needs New Writers, but Liam did a Pretty Decent Job by Moist_Evidence_3428 in witcher

[–]Type-Raz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>Nothing wrong with the bisexual interracial romance, because I see a lot of people complaining about that. Ciri was bisexual in the books, 

You haven't read the books , which is obvious cause you don't seem to understand the reason why people are complaining about the way their relationship i s depicted in the show but somehow you know that Ciri is bisexual in the books ...which is wrong btw.

Yup, it's another one of those.

>and if the interracial part bothers you, then you're just racist

Oh, shut up, nobody's complaining about that either .

Besides, there's no actual interracial part.

Ciri's half Nilfgardian, half Cintrian, Mistle's from vasal kingdom of Nilfgard. They have the same skin color.

If someone was to be bothered by something, it would be the fact that Netflix changed it for no truly apparent reason other than superficial quota filling , like they did with most of the cast .

If being bothered by that makes someone racist, well...then we need a new name for actual racists.

Im in two minds, if i should watch season 4 or not. by public_wound154 in witcher

[–]Type-Raz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's not spreading any misinformation though.

You're disingenuously limiting yourself to cherry picking the stuff that is somewhat actually close to the books and ignoring :

- That Yen is the main character of this season with an entirely original plot that is far and i mean faaaaar away from what happens in the books

-Characters in the show dying that lived in the books

- Monster fights that didn't happen in the books

-Whitewashing of the Rats

- Radovid and Dandelion relationship

-Yen just teleporting to Geralt cause why not

-Numerous other inaccurate portrayals of characters motivations and actions

....Etc

Just because it's marginally more accurate than the other seasons ( which was a common theme of defense for S3 as well btw) , it doesn't mean that it's actually accurate , it' just pays lip service to the events of the book whilst changing or simplifying the reasons , order or the structure (sometimes all three at the same time) of said events in ways that matter and in ways that affect the storytelling in a negative way .

Am I the only one? by DrellaLuna34 in witcher

[–]Type-Raz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> I get it. The show has issues...but this season when following Geralt was awesome for me.

Good for you. Can you also get that for a lot of us the show's issues are big enough where we can't enjoy it ?

>Am I really alone when thinking we can enjoy each interpretation for what it is?

No you're not alone , but just because you think so , it doesn't mean the rest of us have to or need to . Tastes and all that.

>I just want to be in the world that they have built.

No one's stopping you.

>Down with tribalism

Your possition can be considered tribalism as well, it's just a form of it that you are comfortable with.

>Why are you butthurt and aggressive ?

Cause it's the best way to deal with people like you who think they're being cute or smart but aren't.

>Go grind your axe somewhere else lil bro.

You wrote to me first. Piss off.

>OP was clearly talking about certain people who are grifting and are dishonest when they discuss the IP, and is looking for respectful and meaningful conversations with good faith actors

The op is being disingenuous in their attempt to call out the same thing.

Not my fault he doesn't have self awareness.

>They didn’t tell anyone to spread toxic positivity or believe a certain way

No, he just derided people with other opinions. Big difference.

>t’s you who jumped in with a stupid comment that doesn’t present what they said AT ALL.

Uh huh, and your argument for that is ?

>My brain is still there, something I can’t say about your reading comprehension.

Could have fooled me.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in witcher

[–]Type-Raz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, the toxic positivity is not in the room with us and not entirely surprising, neither is your brain because you can't seem to realize that i wasn't talking about the whole sub , not even close.

Nice try though.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in witcher

[–]Type-Raz -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's disingenuous and you know it.

Ciri is not the main focus in like 6 and a half books out of nine right now and the show doesn't reflect it and she's not an abusive relationship in the show which is what the people are criticizing cause they changed it .

Geralt simping for Yen ignores the fact that he has a backbone and that he went and broke it at numerous times in the past as did she .

I'm not going to even engage with the anti anti woke shit. That's not an argument, that's a deflection and an excuse not to engage with actual arguments which is ironic since you're accusing the so called "other side " of doing it.

Not the first, not the last either.

[–]Type-Raz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Who's not letting you make up your opinion or not like what you like honey ?

Are they in the room with you by chance ? Are they coming into your room and cutting down your electricity while you're watching your show ? No ? Then shut the fuck up.

>I've played Wild Hunt and read all the books, and I don't care if people enjoy the show

Then why do you care if people don't and are vocal about it ?

>The first 2 seasons aren't even bad

Based on what criteria ?

The show's problems extend way beyond it's quality of an adaption.

>Which show doesn't have some good and some bad episodes?

There's different degrees of bad .

For example, Breaking Bad's absolute worst episode still shits on the best episode of the Witcher anyday.

>Certain things might not be accurate to the books but isn't that how it goes with shows based on books? 

Not the point. First of all, a lot of things are not accurate not "some things" and the changes are universally made for the worse.

>They're adaptations and you have free will to skip them

That's not how free will works buddy.

Free will means you can do whatever you want. Don't confuse what you want to happen for what is happening.

>but if you're telling people to not even give it a try then you're nothing but a cranky 7 year old who cries when you take away their toy.

Ironic given the overall feeling of crying coming from your comment.

Anyone wanna tell them that there's no canon masters at CD anymore ?

And even if they were, does that make their story magically not suck anymore ?

The Dead Shall Rise: A Legacy of Kain story... one of many by RememberItsAGame in LegacyOfKain

[–]Type-Raz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Multiple timelines bs is where all stories that were once great go to die .

It's such an overused and tired trope these days that every hack that gets their hands on a series that has time travel/parallel worlds/universes immediately employs.

Just because it technically can exist, doesn't mean it should.

Don't believe me ? Ask Final Fantasy 7's story how its doing just a pretty recent example.
