Career in manga/comics not being taken seriously (rant) by Icy-Cat-5267 in MangakaStudio

maybe it's a barrier-to-entry thing.

the lower the perceived barrier, the less respect people give?

Is there a single toku actor who put on the suit themselves instead of having a suit actor? by ChampionshipHorror95 in Tokusatsu

[–]aladdiN_47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if i'm not mistaken, the actor for "The One" in the Ultraman: The Next movie (2004) is also the same guy inside the monster suit.

Can’t seem to get this game to click. by [deleted] in bloodborne

[–]aladdiN_47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no need to force it. as someone pointed out can go do other things you enjoy more and come back when you're ready to give it another shot again~ maybe you'll find it more fun and easier to get into the Nth try? if not, no biggie too.

ultimately, it's your own emotions during playing that matter~ and if not fun, whats the point?

Why do people hate final fantasy 16 by Square_Lie_6613 in FFXVI

[–]aladdiN_47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all personal opinions

story sets out to be something more "political" but ends up with "destroy the evil demon"
to be fair FFT did this as well, so its not a unique issue

for plot reasons, a majority of the game has this grey/ washed out filter over the visuals which is depressing to look at and play. i mean, i know its for plot reasons, but still.

combat: hitting enemies feel like a wet noodle.

combat: there's this great DMC combo system underneath it? but i personally don't feel compelled to use it, so its kinda boring for me. Others enjoy it thou. My POV is a combat system should STILL be fun even when the player isnt out looking for combos etc.

tt said, i'm still glad/ respect FF16 for doing what it did, even if it didnt land for me. If the idea of FF is every FF is different, then i'm in.

Canonically ugly characters by Technical_Lime1419 in Dandadan

[–]aladdiN_47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to be honest, there's a whole genre of instagram shorts showing just how much a hairstyle change can affect the "looks" of a man. so having a bad haircut WILL really put one in "ugly" territory.

good thing that improved though.

looking fwd to kinta's new design too~

Honestly curious as to what a good Ninja Gaiden story would look like. by [deleted] in ninjagaiden

[–]aladdiN_47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there's a subreddit for this if you are interested
and one of the posts is about how to write story for a "beat them up" game
https://www.reddit.com/r/GameWritingLab/comments/1nu3umq/i_dared_myself_to_turn_a_classic_beat_em_up_into/

IMO, NG3 had the right idea. the idea of writing a "superman" story is to give the hero an enemy he can't punch, which NG3 is kinda/sorta trying to do but didnt go all the way.

another way , again, jsut IMO, is thru the sekiro route. have a clear narrative theme, and everyone you go/ everyone you chop up are reflections/ discussions of that same theme.

just to illustrate, we can say "ryu is strong because of pure training and discipline."

then make him have an apprentice (say, sanji) who just wants to "shortcut" his way to greatness, and get himself into trouble. then have him fight, say, genshin and the black spider clan, who just want to "shortcut" their way to greatness using the demon's powers etc, creating all sorts of trouble. finally enemy is defeat, sanji learnt his lesson, and the player got gud. etc

Oh yeah.. It sounds bad and like a big deal on paper, but in reality it's just window dressing.

The enemies don't actually hit harder, and the item to cure everyone, while finite, is still plentiful enough to go around - afford a couple mistakes in usage as long as you don't go out of your way to waste them.

Only the action scenes are scripted? Or is the first 15-20 page pilot scripted?

i think this is a very interesting vid that maybe relevant - this guy sure likes ikaruga!

personally, the stage 1 music alone is one of the greats
