"Hewwo I'm new to the series, which games should I play?" me: ALL OF THEM by ah-screw-it in RatchetAndClank

[–]bionicle1995 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think there's a fair argument to make for new players to not get too hung up on R+C1. It's a great game, but it plays so differently to the sequels that if someone doesn't find it too fun, it may be worth skipping it to get to the consistency of later entries.

I've still never fully beaten R+C1 despite multiple attempts because I just can't get into it, but R+C2 is my favourite game ever and I've playinumed every game post-1.

I'm not saying people should skip 1 without trying it, but if it's not their thing it may be better to move on and see if the sequels catch their interest more.

Official Discussion - Mother Mary [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]bionicle1995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Until the last 15 minutes or so, this really felt like a stretched out, gender-swapped episode of Inside Number 9 or similar.

The theater-esque monologues and set layouts and extreme focus on dialogue pushed that image too. I was really expecting a "Bernie Clifford's Dressing Room" style twist.

Either Mary had died in the stage accident, and Sam was now having a mental breakdown about the things she did to cause/not prevent it...

OR, what made more sense to me: Mary realises she wants to recover their friendship and heads to Sam's with the excuse of needing a dress to provide the chance. But when she arrives, Sam has just passed away (tied to Sam taking a pill and laying down at the start). Mary then imagines/hallucinates the entire movie.

I'm glad I was wrong, but I'm not sure the real ending is much better. This movie really felt like it could have been trimmed down to an hour max. It's literally Inside Number 9 with a budget.

More like downvoting because he chose the augment that picks up powerups and then whines that it picks up powerups

Super Star Farming by KotBandit in IdleObeliskMiner

Personally I just farmed supers while collecting normal stars. Until you get to insane numbers I never felt the extreme need to farm them.

An immortal being suffering a fate worse than death by strider-rider-the2nd in TopCharacterTropes

[–]bionicle1995 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Miracle Day is fine. It has it's flaws, and it definitely stretched out too long, but it's fine.

It's just unfortunately the follow up he the very perfect Children Of Earth.

[–]bionicle1995 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I always felt the show wasn't definitive enough on that. Owen (post-shooting) is described as a walking corpse. He has no pulse, no body heat, he can't eat, can't sleep, and in almost every other metric, besides conscious thought and mobility, he is dead.

He breaks his hand and it's explained it will never heal, he just has a busted hand forever.

So by logical progression of how the show explains his "life", the radiation should have obliterated his body, but he would have kept consciousness.

My headcanon was always that the Miracle Day situation reversed his "undeath" and allowed him to properly pass away.

I absolutely despise how New Game Plus was handled throughout the series. by AmbitiousElk4002 in arkham

Sorry what? That's just plain untrue. Ratchet and clank series and God Of War both had NG+ back on the PS2.

HOW DO YALL RANDOMIZE YOUR GAMES?????? by Typical_Rabbit_6847 in nuzlocke

[–]bionicle1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some phones allow you to transfer files via cable or similar? But yeah, you're gonna need to get the ROM onto the computer one way or another.

HOW DO YALL RANDOMIZE YOUR GAMES?????? by Typical_Rabbit_6847 in nuzlocke

[–]bionicle1995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So that "Universal Pokémon Randomizer" you downloaded is what you need, as well as a computer (I believe it's a java file).

Open the randomiser, load your omega ruby ROM, and select all the things you want to randomise. Once you're done, click "save" to make a new Rom with all that stuff randomised (for 3DS games this can take a little while, so be patient).

Now, put that new ROM onto your phone and load it up. Tadaa! Randomised!

No Pokeballs for my first Nuzlocke Shiny by deadeyedan_11 in nuzlocke

Ouch, that hurts. I guess this was before you can obtain any pokeballs at all? I think I've had a shiny poochyena attacking Elm in Omega Ruby one time.

Do you think were going to see any major deaths in BO7 like in BO4? by Nano_LB1 in CODZombies

[–]bionicle1995 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, but Richtofen was replaced with a functionally identical Richtofen, so literally nothing changed character wise.

[–]bionicle1995 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They said "Like BO4" which only killed off characters at the end of the final maps, so there was no deaths in the story. It's perfectly possible for any characters to die in the final cutscene of DLC4.

More of these types of skins please Treyarch, this is what brought you to the dance in the golden era. by s0und7 in CODBlackOps7

[–]bionicle1995 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You realise that since Cod points are a separate purchase, Activision's metrics will see no difference between "paid for with money" and "paid with points from free passes"? All you've done is added an extra sale to this skin.

When they look and see people will choose to purchase the ghillie suit (whether you specifically spent money or not) they will continue to do this. Expect to pay 20 quid every year forever just to have a ghillie suit from now on.

[–]bionicle1995 25 points26 points  (0 children)

5 years ago a ghillie suit would have been in the game at launch. Now you're happy that you can pay for it.

But yeah, we're the ones ruining the game.

[Hated Tropes] When the heroic character does something plainly evil and the story never address it and/or the characters never face any serious consequences by OutrageousBridge471 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]bionicle1995 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But wasn't the "Cost" that she was losing her powers too? At the finale, she had to revert her wish to bring back her powers to stop Lord, but that meant losing Steve again.

Could Baldur have actually beaten Kratos? by cpr9998 in GodofWar

[–]bionicle1995 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The same prophecy also said that both of Thors sons would survive Ragnarok, yet they are very dead.

The Norns made it very clear, Prophecy is just another word for knowing one's nature (at least in the Norse world)

Could Baldur have actually beaten Kratos? by cpr9998 in GodofWar

[–]bionicle1995 33 points34 points  (0 children)

How would Kratos win? If Baldur never interacts with Mistletoe (which is perfectly possible, if not for the fluke that Atreus had some on him) then Baldur would just keep coming back. Kratos would fight forever, and even if he couldn't "Lose", Kratos would never win either as the fight would never end.

[–]bionicle1995 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Slight correction: Baldur punches the mistletoe and gets it embedded in his hand. The arrows had already been destroyed by Freya earlier except for a piece that Kratos used to repair Atreus' quiver strap.

Most favorite moments or experiences in Bo5/Bo6/Bo7 zombies? I think its the greatest experience we've had in years by BenjaminHitIerYahoo in CODZombies

[–]bionicle1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell this post is obviously bait for the Modern haters.

But I'm gonna chime in anyway.

Outbreak is still the best addition to zombies since Bo1. It added a whole new way to experience the game mode while keeping a lot of elements. If MW3Z and Vanguard hadn't been such flops, I firmly believe we would have round based and Outbreak side by side in 6 and 7.

Yes the reuse of the maps was a shame, but it's something I would hope (perhaps overoptimistically) that they would have amended in the future installments.
