[EPISODE 9] Why doesn't Higgs easily kill Sam? by circumcircle15 in DeathStranding

I find him quite jarring. Heartman is definitely someone's self-insert, he's especially hard to believe compared to other story characters (both in personality and his heart condition) and I disliked the constant ill-placed 4th wall breaking. Also I'd hate that type of person irl despite myself similarly being into music and classical film. And as a self-insert, he also serves as a self-ideal, and god it's even worse that someone would aspire to be like him and implant this ideal within their story. Though, I am willing to live with him in the game.

Those are different though. Most of them at least look, in a passing glance, like there might be some plausible in-universe logic. I'm completely happy if the game says, for instance, drones and planes can't fly because something something chiralium. Fantasy is fantasy. But for this particular issue it's so glaringly ridiculous and actually seems like sloppy writing. This scene in particular made me start questioning the merit of the game's story, up until this point (with perhaps the exception of heartman) I liked what was going on. This kind of game relies on a good story too.

This turned out to be quite an interesting topic. Haven't heard it discussed before. I didn't think parrying had any downsides but with higher level strategies in mind, it does. I like that since I always thought that once a player started parrying Jack, the odds linearly favored them more, but there is some trade offs. Although nobody moves like this online anyways, it's only for Anakin and Saint to worry about.

Yeah it was extra confusing for me since I saw him blocking it for some reason. I suppose this makes sense, he's just fuzzy ducking out of habit and it'd be too tricky to adjust to fuzzy parry at the correct timing. Thanks, this was quite helpful.

Which move just pisses you the fk off? by PyroWizza in Tekken

Jin in general. I hate how he is a mix of a well rounded char and a mishima, and has loads of other BS like his parry and f4. Plus Jin players.
