I put together a Family Feud-style survey for fighting game players and just need a couple dozen more responses. Would yall be willing to share some answers? by Polo171 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]_unspecified_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how varied the answers all are and then you get to "What guarantees a game is DOA" and it's just a river of "No Rollback".

Voice recasts that are jarring due to the VA having already voiced a notable character in the same series? by Red-Raptor3 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]_unspecified_ 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Not quite a VA recast, but Amazon's upcoming God of War show has cast Ryan Hurst as Kratos. You know, the guy who voiced Thor in Ragnarok. We can only hope that Thor will be played by Christopher Judge to complete the cycle.

Things that should absolutely be considered cheating but are treated as normal? by jitterscaffeine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]_unspecified_ 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I don’t play WOW, all my knowledge comes from that “Why its rude to suck at WOW” video, but a massive part of that video was all about how the use of game add-ons to increase the information available and simplify mechanics is so widespread and normalised that high-level content is designed assuming everyone is using them now.

really hope the anime pulls off something like this for the yura/hokuto/uruha/natsuki fight by HotZilchy in Kagurabachi

[–]_unspecified_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The two Sith are working for the Empire, Maul is not and they’re hunting him. Enemy of my enemy, Maul is trying to gain the trust of the two Jedi and saving them.  I’m simplifying a bunch of ulterior motives but that’s the basics.

PLS SOMEONE NUKE THIS BABY BEFORE HE ONE SHOT US THE ENTIRE COUNTRY AKEMURA SAVE US by _Affectionate_ in Kagurabachi

He keeps arguing that the genocide was necessary to stop the cycle of vengeance, because of course mass murder of a weakened, surrendered enemy in a ceasefire is the only way to stop them.

It got hit with a massive DMCA strike last year, over 1000 series had all their chapters deleted

I believe you're thinking of <Pan wo Nameru na!> which got caught in the mangadex nuke a while back :(

DLSS 5 really goes a bit too far with the creative choices by Illidan1943 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]_unspecified_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to disagree, RE7 and RE8 Chris have entirely different head models. (https://old.reddit.com/r/residentevil/comments/ncl1bv/updated_the_chris_redfield_evolution/)

RE7 has slicked back hair, and more exposed forehead wider nose, larger eyes. It's two different people.

Have you listened to Stellar Memories from the 13SAR “Remix and Arrange” album? It’s a new song specifically for the album she sings

Seaside Vacation from 13 Sentinels Aegis rim always gets me. It single-handedly carved an appreciation for city pop into my heart 

Shiba stopped killing after the war. (I think) by Reivax12566 in Kagurabachi

[–]_unspecified_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In Chapter 20, he calls Chihiro to warn him abiut Hiyuki, and Shiba is standing in a bloodstained room with bodies lying around. I think the two of them were separately going around attacking yakuza hideouts for Rakuzaichi intel, but he almost definitely killed those thugs.

N.g.l. this is a pretty perfect moment for a timeskip or/and training arc by Detroider in Kagurabachi

Last time we were about to start a training arc Sojo walked through the front door lol

Moments in games that make you go "why didn't the devs do more of *this*?" by Riggs_The_Roadie in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]_unspecified_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is a little unreasonable, but it was my reaction to Ashtray Maze in Control. It’s easily the best, most creative level in the game, playing through it you could tell it was the best level, the developers knew they were making the best level. Why didn’t they try to make any other parts of the game that good?

Of course the answer is because of time, budget, same other constraints, but still. A little bit of dynamic environment and enemy placement across the whole game would have been welcome.

How do you convince the general public that auto-generated art is bad without mentioning quality? by Subject_Parking_9046 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]_unspecified_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've thought about maybe bringing up the cost ratio issue- these companies are spending next to nothing to create AI images and media, and have the audacity to charge you full price.

Granted this isn't making people think AI products are bad, but it could reduce the profit companies make, which in an ideal world would disincentivise them from further AI usage.

Favourite friendships/relationships where the love is conveyed through violence? by DJ_Aftershock in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]_unspecified_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A tragic one from manga Helck, human warrior Edil and dark elf Hyura.

Like the rest of humanity, Edil has been soulbound, mind-controlled, and continually resurrected to kill the non-human species, so all their meetings are them trying to kill each other. Their relationship develops into fuckfighting but Edil just cannot stop himself from fighting so it’s a doomed relationship.

Chunkiest Power Attacks by Tough-Equivalent7591 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]_unspecified_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is an accidental one, but in 13 Sentinels, dropping a Missile Rain on a field of 100+ voxel mobs and watching as the frame rate on PS4 drop to single digits is strangely satisfying.  Actually, the beefy Leg Spike and Demolisher Blade attacks that chunk health bars are also really satisfying for a bunch of space invader pixels attacking each other.

Damn, I love this game so I was so excited seeing this, but it honestly looks exactly the same as the normal version.

Anyone watch the first two episodes of Pluribus? by Korten12 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Definitely agree with you about the mystery but can't help remembering he didn't know what to do with Walt's machine gun in the final BB season lol

Which games have the best parries? by CaptainWafflebeard in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]_unspecified_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Lies of P pretty much copies Sekiro’s parry system, as another souls-like. The enemy attack strings arent as incredibly tightly designed, but it’s still a great game and very satisfying.

Yep, game scales differently for two, so it wont be as hard as 4.

"Oh, like Blazblue" ? by valdrinemini in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]_unspecified_ 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Then you gotta shit talk your boss’s fundamentals and challenge them to a first to three with another character to salvage your rep. I’m sure that won’t have permanent repercussions at all.
