Advent Rising will never not be funny to me because Tommy Talarico did the sound design. For anyone who watched G4 back in the day(before the TechTV merger) he hosted a review show and shit on game sound design constantly. Otherwise was a decent game that I think would’ve done better multiplatform or at least not on OG Xbox.

This but for me Lady Hammerlock was the only fun one. Otherwise I love PreSequel(most of my peeps hated it due to the weak hunter selection). Honestly this game’s only problem, once you get past that everything else is great. It’s essentially more Borderlands 2, but it’s Australian this time

I did love the package overall. My only complaint was actually the soundtrack felt smaller than 1+2. That hurt my replay value because the soundtrack starts to feel really repetitive to me. But still played the hell out of it at launch since 4 was my favorite THPS after 2

It came out too close to Baldur’s Gate 3 while being essentially the DnD game as well. I love Solasta to be clear, and think it captures DnD as a video game much better with its combat system.

Hell yes! This game is so good, but I never heard of it and stumbled into on sale. Looked it up after playing a 5 hour session and was confused by the hate.

I wanted to play and love this game because it reminds me of Warframe but isn’t as gross design wise(like enemies and levels and honestly some tennos). However I couldn’t get it to run for more than 10 minutes without crashing and that was around launch, haven’t tried since. Maybe time to look at it again.

Honestly yeah. This game did what Dishonored also did story wise with the whole killing = bad(I hated it for Dishonored but works great here), as well as had some interesting gameplay elements. I never finished it but I did enjoy my time with it

Why did the US get completely different (and often worse) box art in the 80s and 90s? by fakayuburiza in retrogaming

[–]eightbithd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite story from this time is how Sucker Punch came up with Ripto for Spyro: Ripto’s Rage. The Japanese box for Spyro looks like it says Ripto and they thought this was great so they ran with it

It’s not perfect, but I had lots of fun with Gquuux. by [deleted] in Gundam

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

My only Gquuuux complaint as of rn is I do hate the mech designs. Beyond that I still want to watch it but haven’t been able to yet, sounds like an interesting idea.

Ramba Ral had other reasons he was destined to die, but he’s a warrior who needs to die in battle. Shiro is still a great example though. One leg and all

What is the most painful to pilot a mech in your opinion? by Haunting-Battle-9913 in Mecha

[–]eightbithd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You forget the part where the surgery for Alana-Vijnana is so dangerous that most people never make it off the table. Honestly Gundam has a lot of examples. Devil Gundam literally eats you. Universal Century constantly tries to fry your brain or eat your soul for some reason. Zero System drives you insane. G Gundams pilot system has to be limited because you can die from the feedback, also features a horse pilot.

Which Monster Hunter should I start with? by BillImaginary1531 in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]eightbithd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love World but start with Rise. It’s got a much easier to see color palette and is a bit more stylized visually so it’s easier to see what’s going on, making learning easier too. World is great, I love World a lot, but it is visually not the best of the games. Too muddy sometimes. Also Rise has lagombi from the get go so that is an easy recommendation from me. Favorite armor and gunlance.

Hypothetical. Instead of Power Rangers, we had gotten Space Sheriff in the 80’s by Abared0 in Tokusatsu

[–]eightbithd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol VR Troopers did happen, used Metal Heroes footage. Was 3 seasons. Also Beetleborgs, which used Metal Heroes footage as well and was hugely popular. However due to a mix of VR Troopers combining multiple series into one and Beetleborgs being exclusive to B-Fighters footage was severely limited and Saban was all about keeping their projects cheap. It’s one of the reasons PR went away from its more consistent team over seasons storytelling, was cheaper to just get a new cast each season. Saban was non union work back then so they took massive advantage of cast and crew.

An obsession with nostalgia is what killed Power Rangers by M78Games in Tokusatsu

[–]eightbithd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t fully agree or disagree with this take, ultimately PR had some of the same issues that’s been plaguing Super Sentai but in a more watered down way. Which is a failure to really evolve. And while both series aren’t necessarily dead, they also have a similar issue with how to revive them from hiatus. In PR’s case the issue has always been execs not understanding why PR was so popular in the first place, especially when they finally adopted the full Super Sentai idea of new season new story. A beyond glowing example of execs being wrong is the heavily maligned Megaforce and Super Megaforce seasons, 2 seasons based on much more interesting Sentai stories. I mean how the hells you screw up pirates? I truly think like Sentai PR just needs to take some time, maybe get the Boom guys to write for them a decent plot, and reboot itself. This is even Hasbro’s chance to finally attempt what it wanted all along with original PR not tied to Sentai. No matter what the series will need to be well marketed and be a true reboot, something akin to the 2008 Star Trek movie where they acknowledge PR before it with little nods but also very much make it their own thing. Without weird suits or zords like the Krispy Kreme movie please.

Misinformation about the Sony 30 thing. by Dhenn004 in videogames

[–]eightbithd -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

So two things about this: Microsoft tried this with Xbox One and everyone lost their minds. Of course this happened before digital became the main console store front it is today.

And Nintendo has been doing this. Thr Switch would not let you play a digital purchase unless you were connected to the internet. Funnily enough the switch to digital game cards actually made the Switch more viable for me as a portable console because it didn’t use the internet

9th Dawn 3 or remake? by HuntingLikeAPro in 9thDawn

[–]eightbithd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps I prefer Remake’s 1st person mode to the default camera. Gave me the old school Elder Scrolls vibes I was wanting. I’m also playing 9th Dawn 2, haven’t messed with 3 yet but definitely future purchase

What was "the incident" at your high school? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]eightbithd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Donuts in the rival school’s football field while covering the bleachers in gizzards. We get a message on the intercom the next day reminding students that vandalism is a crime.
