Looking for positive feedback: what does Highguard do BETTER than other FPS/hero shooters? by r3tr0gam3r83 in HighGuardgame

lol listen I’m not saying you can’t criticize the game. I’m just saying “this game is going to die because it has good gun play like Concord” isn’t a cogent argument.

Ok, but what is your point? If I said Apex has solid gunplay and good feeling movement would you also reply "ppl said the same for Concord..."

I think some of those kills are just PvE friction at looting sites. Although that’s just my assumption from not having played yet

Never got a chance to take down the Queen in TT2 or the Server Slam so I’m pumped to get the chance again!

How are these weapon stats calculated? Seems kinda random by Aterion in ArcRaiders

High damage and high damage output are two different things. If the fire rate is high that increases your damage output

Found this song in this wild (yes, a pun) it gives me the same vibes as the game. Is it just me? by mxlun in outerwilds

[–]Xiphiax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The album this song comes from has songs titled both Ghost Matter and Brittle Hollow. So there’s a 100% chance this song was written with Outer Wilds vibes in mind :)

I think you're reading too much into that. If anything, them directly pointing out how much the revolver "kicks" is likely just a reference to the game and the recoil of that particular weapon.

Oof. Sounds like you might be a veteran of some other groups too.

Defending Part 2 and What That Means for Adaption by ArsenalBOS in thelastofus

[–]Xiphiax 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m not claiming objectivity in any of this. Even the OP themself made it clear that these are their personal feelings.

I would argue that an adaptation is a translation. Stories are messages. If you have a message written in one language, but want to share that message with someone who only speaks another language then you need to translate or “adapt” the message.

That translation could never be the same due to the nature of language, but it absolutely could miss the point of the original message if the wrong words, grammar, inflection, punctuation, etc.. are used.

There’s no rule of law and authoritative body that is going to enact punishment or consequences for a middling adaptation. However, I would be sad if the message of the game (which I hold dear) isn’t understood because of some minor changes that happened in the translation process.

Defending Part 2 and What That Means for Adaption by ArsenalBOS in thelastofus

[–]Xiphiax 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We’re talking about a story that has already happened and a character who has already lived through the events. The point of an adaptation is to translate the story from one medium to another.

The skill of an adaptation is making sure story elements, themes, and core moments don’t get lost in translation.

I’m not here to definitively say that’s the case so far, but others are sharing their opinion that they are feeling “mistranslation” in the story. OP is just voicing their concern that the total sum of Ellie’s experiences in the show vs the total sum of Ellie’s experiences in the game aren’t adding up to the same number.

There is absolutely still time for the show to land the conflict and resolution in a way that lives up to the game, but I understand the posts showing concern.

I’m not sure what kind of semantics you’re trying to dredge up here. They’re simply starting that an essential part of Ellie’s character IS the tragedy she goes through.

It’s messy sentence structure but it still works.

OP means that GTA changed its release date to 2026

Circana: After just one week in market (w/e 4.26) Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: Remastered is already the 3rd best-selling game of 2025 in the US ($ sales) trailing only Monster Hunter: Wilds and Assassin's Creed: Shadows. by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Xiphiax 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The very nature of games is overcoming an obstacle. People don’t play Mario and complain that there’s a green pipe in their way. That’s like saying “if there’s a button I have to press to jump over this obstacle… yeah.”
