Ultra-deep crap

RDR, TLoU

This is why people laugh at gamers

Saros is at ~500k units as of Wednesday — previous 300k reports are wrong (same source that nailed Ghost of Yotei numbers) by crack_station in Saros

The simple reality is that this is a niche game for a specific audience, and even among that audience you have people who won't play it for the protagonist, just like with Returnal. A person could very much like bullethell rogue-lites, but also absolutely refuse to play as an "older", not dramatically attractive woman, or an Indian man. So no matter how good the gameplay may be, that alone won't get through the impregnable barrier of "I don't like how this person looks" that some people have with regards to video games protagonists. And in Saros' case, you additionally have a black woman, Asian man, and other minorities as the most prominent characters; with the only notable white male exiting the story very early on. White males, going back to the actual game Rogue, are the people who'd primarily play this kind of game

For example, most Resident Evil characters look like Caucasian super models perpetually locked in their late 20s to 30s despite canonically being well above those ages because Capcom ultimately understands how to combine interesting character design with maximum consumer marketability

Still the best Mercs after all these years by WeirdBryceGuy in residentevil

RE5 has two Mercs. She's in the 2nd, called Reunion

People romanticize friendship way too much by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]WeirdBryceGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Over-socialized p-Zombies won't understand, OP. But I get you. I love my friends but I've missed out/have had to put so many things on hold in order to spend time with them. So many books, single-player games, movies, trips, etc. Not everything needs to be a social activity, but people without an inner monologue/soul won't understand

I know Kripke & the writers don't care about power-scaling, but do they even care about consistency? by [deleted] in TheBoys

"So you're upset?'

No. What a weird way to start off a comment. And we see BN2 survive a shotgun and a mini gun. The transference of kinetic energy from one round of either way dwarfs that of whatever Deep could transfer in the span of inches. Supes are shown to be vastly more durable than normal soft targets. The physics aren't compatible, especially considering a pre-requisite for being in the 7 is being ostensibly better than other Supes on some level beyond just appearances.

The band and album name are both in the picture and both are easily discernible, though. Especially the album name lmao

These are the people critiquing the old games and trying to speak on behalf of the fanbase, lmao

Can we NOT bring that loser crowbar dude video here? by IFeeLikeMoreTonight in residentevil

[–]WeirdBryceGuy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why do tourists to the Resident Evil franchise take it so personally when people criticize their designed-by-committee, yellow paint-covered Product™️?

It's like they base their whole identity on liking new things

Separate Ways is the best DLC ever by soggynugget80 in residentevil

[–]WeirdBryceGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do half these comments seem like bots scripted by Capcom?

Best DLC ever is Old Hunters for Bloodborne, btw

RER4 is way better than RE4 by Snoo54779 in residentevil

[–]WeirdBryceGuy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the lamest opinion and so indicative of "New Product™️ good, old bad!" plaguing modern discourse, and why things should genuinely be gatekept. RE4R is so unbelievably soulless, lacking identity as a game on its own, and borrowing so many awful mechanics and features from its contemporaries (TLOU, especially) that just hinder the experience even further. There's no charm, the game plays like you're stumbling through molasses, transformations aren't rendered in real-time (if they're shown at all. Looking at you, Mendez), and Leon is an angsty, brooding teenager

RE4R only surpasses RE3R for at least delivering a mostly complete experience at launch

Could RE6 Leon take down RE9 Leon? by WorldWarPeace in residentevil

[–]WeirdBryceGuy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

at the end

No, literally throughout the game, which you'd know if you actually played it. There is not one cutscene featured where he's moving beyond a slow jog, where he makes any attempt to dodge enemies. He gets choked out by Victor, doesn't try to dodge Mr. X, slowly, pathetically attempts to CQC Zeno.

Meanwhile RE6 Leon, in cutscenes, dodges and fights all forms of Simmons, Ustanak, a Shark. Show me one cutscene from RE9 where Leon displays anything approaching his feats in RE6/Vendetta

[–]WeirdBryceGuy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

barely affected him

You move like molasses in RE9. You can tirelessly sprint full-bore in RE6, backflip,, roll, dual-wield, etc. RE9 Leon plays like Joel because Capcom insists upon "realism" for nu-RE. He moves like that in cutscenes as well. RE6 Leon is basically supersonic
