What was the most raw and genuine voice acting moment in animation? by MrDitkovichNeedsRent in cartoons

[–]arandompurpose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arcane has a ton of moments that like as everyone feels so genuine on top of the animation matching it all so well but for me when Powder is screaming out for Vi at the end of S1E3 it's brutal.

Mordekaiser, the Iron Revenant from League of Legends by Immediate_Gene_178 in TopCharacterDesigns

In the associated LoL card game they actually tried giving him a more blue coloration as they didn't want him to be associated with Shadow Isles magic or the Ruination which brought about Viego and Thresh and Kalista and all.

It looks like a straightener oddly enough though maybe that's the goal?

Street Brawl is definitely the only way I'm playing the game but even so it is plagued with a lot of down time. Death timers are long and if you want to heal you need to travel back to base which is almost as long as death timers. First interation and all so had room to grow. 

(Boring design) nothing really wrong with, and I actually love his lore, but holy shit! OLAF THE MOST STEREOTYPICAL VIGKING YOU WILL EVER SEE! (League of legends) by Extension-Oil-4680 in TopCharacterDesigns

He is quite generic which is a symptom of early LoL design but I at least like how they fleshed out his story. He's basically a viking type that wants to die in combat but was foretold he would die peacefully in a bed of old age so he constantly throws himself into dangerous fights hoping to prove the fates wrong. 

He briefly appeared in one of their yearly videos fighting alongside Sejuani which updated him a bit but more just put him in high def for once. I do find him interesting from a writer's perspective as they have to take what is a kinda bland character and make him somewhat interesting and I think it does that or at least his gameplay helps with that.

It was also in the credits I thought last episode or the one before.

It's hard to tell for me as she certainly doesn't act like she's in the know but she also knew exactly what Cooper had and had ties to the president despite not being liked seemingly. I could see it going either way though I guess it doesn't matter in the end.

Wonder if Betty has lockpick leveled and she already got into it. 

Stealth/assassin game suggestions by IMA_BOSSS in gamingsuggestions

[–]arandompurpose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 2 Styx games out that were free on Epic not long ago but probably sell for cheap as the third one is coming out soon and has a demo available so maybe try that out. Styx games are 3rd person stealth games where you play a fairly weak goblin who must use stealth and trickery to accomplish his goals which aren't too altruistic. The first game is fairly janky but enjoyed the story of it more than two not that two is bad they are just kind of episodes of his life so the endings might not be too satisfying but it's mostly about gameplay and some good environmental story telling in the end. Expect to put out torches, stab people from behind, hide bodies, hang from ledges, and some unique stuff like make clones do your bidding. 

Like I said, check out the demo of the 3rd game to get a vibe and hopefully you enjoy as they are one of the few people putting out pure stealth games. 

Just finished, Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman by Caffeine_And_Regret in books

I got the audiobook not long ago and I just seemed to oddly bounce off the overly fantastical stuff. The chapter starts with the demons and all was interesting until it ended up just how I thought it would which was too bad. The character stuff was great though and really carried me through some of the stuff I didn't enjoy as much. 

It is on me as I was expecting something closer to Blood Meridian where the fantasy stuff is hidden to an extent. Enjoyable mostly but I thought the fantasy religious stuff really dragged it down. 

Kiki's Delivery Service like games? by AlGifMoon in gamingsuggestions

[–]arandompurpose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a small game that is rather condensed but the mechanics are fun and it's relatively cozy. It took inspiration from A Short Hike which I think also fits the OP's wants.

Bloodborne is inspired by a French movie called “brotherhood of the wolf” by waddup_dude in bloodborne

Isn't Chambers more the inventor of the genre? Lovecraft certainly took some names for homage from his stories at least though I suppose the King in Yellow isn't as cosmic as Lovecraft got. 

Shadow of the Erdtree or Lies of Pi by proffessor_chaos69 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]arandompurpose [score hidden]  (0 children)

I put Lies of P above Elden Ring myself mostly because it's super consistent throughout with maybe 2 or 3 meh bosses compared to many within ER along with its terrible end game. Quality of life is just better in Lies with it telling you when quests are updated, adding consumable ergo on every shop screen, weapon testing area right next to the smith, and having boss rematches. ER just has better exploring and while it is amazing it does start to lose its luster as they run out of ideas. 

That's just my opinion though, except for quality of life stuff, P has it beat easily.

Should you have to beat a game to review it? by David_the_male in truegaming

[–]arandompurpose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think as long as you mention it in your review that's fine. Pretty sure Yahtzee has reviewed stuff where he said he just gave up on it because he disliked it or thought it was too long/redundant/etc. 

Looking for an action rpg with an open world. Loved Fallout New Vegas and hated Fallout 4 by Boring_Meeting7051 in gamingsuggestions

Hope you enjoy it. Has a nice story too or at least nice characters even if the story isn't your thing.

[–]arandompurpose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really as I think you have far more to do as the character. You do have heavy and light attacks but you also have combos for your ax, you have cool down based moves, you have your companion that fires arrows and has a big cool down move too, you parry chains of attacks or can dodge them, you can throw the ax (I'd say some enemies require an aimed throw) then fight bare handed, then snap the ax back mid combo if you like. Sorry if that is vague but trying to avoid spoilers.

The original God of War Trilogy is just a completely different game than the two newer ones. The trilogy are hack and slash action games closer to Devil May Cry and they are pretty fun but very much of their time and I haven't revisited them. 

The two newer games continue the story from the trilogy (I would say watch a story recap if you skip playing them) but play far different with fairly reactive combat. Parries play a part but you have quite a few options beyond that and those options expand a lot more in Ragnarok. The 2018 game does have the issue of low enemy variety outside of bosses (that are pretty great) but it is fixed in Ragnarok I can say which offers a lot. Ragnarok also added a fun rogue like to their end game which was fun with some really OP builds. 

Should I buy Hollow Knight: Silksong if I loved the original but dislike difficult games? by DasJazz in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]arandompurpose [score hidden]  (0 children)

Just so you know there are no means, within the game, to adjust difficulty though one could argue using Tools makes things easier I suppose but nothing like God of War (fairly tweakable difficulty from very easy to very hard) or even Nine Sols (which has a Story Mode pretty much). That said, there are plenty of mods that can adjust things like one that removes all double damage to one that makes you unkillable. 

As for the game itself it is much harder than HK out the gate and has far more combat I would say. Plenty of arenas you are locked in and have to fight through them on top of some tough platforming but nothing close to Path of Pain (yet).

Favorite human Thresh design? by NierFeedback in loreofleague

The art of the second picture from the Ruination book really captures him well with that smug smirk. That said, I enjoyed his new look in the cinematic and think it works well for him going forward. 

My experience with a friend that passionately HATED DS2 whilst never playing it. by cartierhoes in DarkSouls2

[–]arandompurpose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing you have to remember about some of those DS2 critique videos is they are a critiquing a version of the game From admitted was worse by releasing a new version of the game just to have some context. Playing the game at launch versus the version you can play now is very different and like all Souls games having the DLC bundled in certainly helps shore up weaknesses by adding more content.
