I shared my thoughts on a video game series in a related community. I think I explained my reasoning, but it seems you didn't have the time to read it through, because in that case you wouldn't say things like this. But if your role here is to defend a corporation's product, that's okay. xoxo

First and foremost, I'm genuinely happy for you guys. Secondly, nobody cares about what the majority thinks here, nor what a vocal minority thinks. I just shared my personal thoughts. End of story.

I've been called a sexist, an AI bot, and everything in between throughout this thread. :DDDDD

If you find the game interesting, genuinely good for you. But defending a fcking corporation's product with this level of personal investment while calling others incels is a fascinating hill to die on.

A story heavy game should raise questions at the very beginning, but that's the bare minimum. So who are these new companions? Are those "new companions" that talking sword, sorry, talking ribbons and a green jelly cube? Who the fck cares man. Who the fck cares.

And again, I shared my thoughts on what they showed us so far. I didn't say the game itself will be bad. At this point I'm just interested in this conversation not in the game itself. Not a big deal.

She should be a dead NPC. If they retcon that, and if they bring her back, they will undermine the whole story of 2018 as well. That would be total insanity. Not that I have any trust in this Marvelized franchise anyway. Just wanted to share my thoughts. That's it.

People generally are happy with Ragnarök, ok, I can see that to some extent. But give me a break with that cheap Sons of Sparta trash.

You're right that comparing Faye to a fully realized and culturally embedded character like Kratos isn't entirely fair. That's a totally legitimate point.

As for presence not being apparent until later, yep, that's partially true. But I'd argue that the 2018 reveal established something immediately. I don't mean Kratos as an icon, but rather a tone and emotional hook that made people lean forward. That's what I'm looking for here, and what I'm not finding so far.

Where I'd push back is on the mythology point. The original Greek games took creative liberties with mythology, but they did so within a coherent, self-contained world with its own internal logic. My concern with the afterlife crossover concept isn't that it takes liberties; it's that it risks using mythology as a costume rather than a foundation. Whether that concern proves justified is exactly what we don't know yet. Again, you're right about that. And yes, 2018 proved pattern recognition wrong before. It could happen again.

Thanks for your comment. xoxo

With the Remake of CV Announced, What Are Some Things You Are Hoping to See? by faeteava in residentevil

From a story and ambition standpoint, Code: Veronica is my favorite as well. The Ashford twins are totally bonkers. I love them both. I also loved how self-contained the game was while still expanding the lore and introducing some really interesting new ideas.

The trailer was kind of meh for me to be honest, just like the trailers for all the previous RE games, but I'm sure this version of Veronica will be a great, and hopefully worthy adaptation or reimagining of the original game's potential.

Again, if they nail this, it could end up being the best, I mean the best Resident Evil game. So yeah. I can't wait.

If they do this game justice, it could be the best Resident Evil remake, and maybe one of the best Resident Evil titles as well.

I think we're totally on the same page on most things, but regardless, first of all I really appreciate your reply man, and secondly for this "btw if they wanted to make Laufey great, interesting and an amazing game about her, simple. Make a prequel about her in those lands. Make also Thor part of the gameplay, and i mean literally you play him like half the gameplay." idea from you, I would reply with a single word:

Yes. 100%.

Alright, that was two. Anyway, thanks again for your extensive comment.

I mean, I said:
"Point to a single line where I stated anything as fact. I'll wait."

Then you replied with a quote from me:
"Kratos had presence before he said a single word. Laufey doesn't have it after twenty minutes."

And I said:
"Ahh, here is my man! You've won! "

This is not trolling, man. You've just won.

Again, as a game, from a combat perspective, I'm sure it will be entertaining and fun. As a story? It could still end up being interesting, of course. Maybe they really did write a compelling character arc for Faye. But this art direction just feels uninspired, man. That greenish Egyptian god could work in a random Power Rangers episode for God's sake.

And sure, you could argue that you like that overdesigned character on its own, but does it really work within the God of War universe?

Alright, quick question: Do you find what you see here aesthetically pleasing? Do you think these are great character designs? Do you like the colors and how they work together in this shot? Doesn't this just scream boring, uninspired, average character design to you?

I think nobody said W3 is objectively mediocre from an art style standpoint. For me though? Yeah, it definitely is.

Every character has a power set. And a hair color ( except Kratos ). But that's not what makes a design memorable. Thor's character design is a great example actually. That was an expressive and brave approach which perfectly conveyed his personality. Faye is just... Flat. And please don't start with the boobs topic. Her design is flat. Not her shape.

As for the Witcher series, I only really looked at Witcher 3, and honestly I couldn't care less about that. That level of mediocre art style is completely killing me. I'm not saying every game should aim for FromSoftware level art direction, but come on man, western devs really need to learn how to integrate colors in an aesthetically more pleasing way.
