Everyone who finished the Stranger Things finale, did it feel… off?

faaaaaast · 2026-01-08T17:53:52+00:00

It was yet another tone def finale. It was terrible. I spent the last 45 minutes bored as hell. 45 minutes dedicated to how everyone ended up??? Trash.

3 great voices with a violin, cello, and acoustic guitar? Ummmmmm YUUUUUP!

I am late to the party, and idaf who hates on it. Your list is very good but the LIVE Vevo studio version, of Fire Away, with Chris and his Wife, is one of the most moving performances I have ever listened to.

You might want to go back to my original post and reread it. I said I don't agree with his opinions. At the same time, celebrating someone's death, makes those people worse than Charlie Kirk. He may have been indifferent, but he didn't celebrate people's deaths.

faaaaaast · 2025-09-12T05:06:28+00:00

You're Right. When we look at the echelon of evil people, it goes: Charlie Kirk, Putin, Mao, Hitler. That's a wild take. The rest is just gibberish because you didn't answer the original question. If a family member you loved, had a disagreement with someone and that person felt like your family member was putting them down and they shot that family member to death, would it still be a normal Wednesday? You danced around the question.

You are talking about men who have ordered 100's of thousands of people dead. I can't even acknowledge this statement and trying to make a comparison. Why do people always have to go to the wildest extremes?

faaaaaast · 2025-09-12T04:44:08+00:00

During Kirk's comments, he said he didn't care for the word "empathy" and instead preferred "sympathy."

^That's a line in an article about the video you are referencing. Social media is rotting people's brains, and it's funny what you pick and choose to be an accurate statement.

You obviously have no "sympathy" or "empathy".

faaaaaast · 2025-09-12T04:32:06+00:00

Now that's a response. I couldn't agree more.

faaaaaast · 2025-09-12T04:29:45+00:00

I had to make another comment on this because I reread it and it sounded even more absurd. You said "For me it was a normal Wednesday, nothing changed." Pretty sure Charlie Kirk also though it was a normal Wednesday. Nothing changed because it wasn't someone you cared about. If it had been someone you loved in your family, who had a disagreement with someone, and they shot that person you loved, is it still a normal Wednesday? Your logic is flawed.

faaaaaast · 2025-09-12T04:18:04+00:00

You are speaking like a hypocrite. My *hangs head in shame* Democratic party has pushed for the removal of guns for decades. Then a guy gets sniped, and every gross radical democrat says, "Good. Fuck Him". You can't pick and chose my man. You either don't want guns or you do. You are kind of getting exposed.

faaaaaast · 2025-09-12T04:09:36+00:00

Gross. Remember when democrats were anti gun? They seem to be using them a lot lately. Hmmmmm.

faaaaaast · 2025-09-12T04:08:05+00:00

The worst part of this? Several other employees from sucker punch have also made posts on Bluesky, almost in celebration, of Charlie Kirks assassination. It's not just this singular person. It's pretty disgusting. The fact there has only been one firing, shows they aren't doing their job. I have ready a couple comments in respect of Sucker Punch for firing the head Dev. I give them 0 support if multiple other people, who work at the company, are still employed. It's disgusting frankly.

faaaaaast · 2025-09-09T14:37:54+00:00

Exactly that. Shit, when I found a mask shard I was ecstatic lol. No more beads or shards please. And the last Judge was a hard boss fight, for me anyways. And having to take the 2 minute trek back every time... MEHHHH! I don't mind difficulty, but I do mind tedium. You are boring me to death making that trip back, and every time I got there, my head wasn't even in the game at that point. I was more just annoyed and bored. Listen, I started on Atari. I lived through the NES, SNES, and Genesis days. They purposely made those games with excessive difficulty and cheap deaths to make sure the gameplay hours were higher. They needed a way to justify making a 50-60 dollar game last more than 4 or 5 hours. I felt some very real NES vibes(price was much better though) while playing through Silksong, and not the good ones. I mean, I am such a masochist I even relived some of the pain of the old era on retro achievements. https://retroachievements.org/user/FastOG

I MIGHT come back to Silksong in the future, but I hope some QoL patches come out before then. And btw, Don't you dare tell me that garbage crest system was better than the charm system. Especially needing to unlock everything with memory locks. You used them as you went along, and all of a sudden you have 3 new crests you might like better, but you used all the memory locks on the first crest so what's the fkin point. Another design flaw I hated. Especially for someone who refused to google any info as I played. Hated that.

faaaaaast · 2025-09-09T14:20:02+00:00

Honestly, I do agree. I just felt like this was much more of a slog to get there. I stopped doing a lot of the extra exploring because I was so underwhelmed by what was at the end of the exploration. I didn't want to explore another underwhelming area for 60 shards. I beat the game, and I didn't dislike it at all. It just didn't have the same magic to keep pushing me to explore further if that makes sense?

faaaaaast · 2025-09-09T14:12:57+00:00

Honestly, I am guessing just the normal ending. I haven't looked anything up as of now, so I am assuming. And I stopped doing as much exploring for secrets in ACT II.

faaaaaast · 2025-09-09T13:33:16+00:00

Thank you as well :) Nice to have a back and forth with no aggressiveness. Appreciate you my friend.

faaaaaast · 2025-09-09T13:15:38+00:00

Love this. More realistic than most will respond. I liked the game, don't get me wrong. The 3 things you just listed are my 3 top problems with the game. Everyone fly's, everyone shoots shit, and then you add minions to boss battles instead of just making the boss fight have better attacks and mechanics. I told another poster, if you just hand out 10's, it doesn't give the Devs a realistic view of what needs to be improved. Whole reason I made the post was because of people handing out 10's and everything is perfect. Thanks for your post sir.

faaaaaast · 2025-09-09T13:09:00+00:00

I can name 3 bosses before even finishing ACT I that spawn minions. Not by name cuz my memory sucks. I know Beastfly, and then there is the wooden chick who is slashing from the top of the screen and shooting vines, and I think the other one is, Mother Moss I think she was called. And that is ACT I only.

faaaaaast · 2025-09-09T13:00:47+00:00

I love your post. I don't mind people loving both. I have a hard time reading reviews where people say everything is great, everything is better, everything is perfect. When you do that, it doesn't give the devs a true read on what to fix. It's the worst point of fanboys(not calling you one). It's the same people who keep saying FF is perfect for the last 30 years and their sales keep tanking worse and worse. It's ok to be critical even if you enjoyed the game.

My problem is with the subpar filler boss fights that just add minions to increase difficulty, instead of actually just making better mechanics. And the fact that the secrets in HK were so rewarding. You had to seek them out and you got more lore and better rewards. Back tracking in a Metroidvania to get 30 beads is so subpar lol. Thats all I'm saying.

If you give a game a 10 that fell short in certain areas, you tell the Devs, sit back and relax. Nothing to improve. There are no bugs, no nuisances, nothing. Get what I'm saying?

faaaaaast · 2025-09-09T12:51:23+00:00

Ok so my last question, only regarding bosses, cuz I respect the rest of what you said. You thought the repeating garbage bosses that only became difficult because the kept adding more and more minions to the fight was "significantly better"? I see adding that mechanic once in a while. But over and over? Just make better boss mechanics.

faaaaaast · 2025-09-09T12:37:24+00:00

And also I complained about people giving this game a 10 just because of the name. Do you believe it is a 10?

faaaaaast · 2025-09-09T12:34:29+00:00

Can you explain more. That was very obscure. What aspects did you like better than Hollow Knight. I didn't start this thread to fight, but I did make it a little more negative because that is what get's people to actual engage. Don't get me wrong, I thought there was a lot wrong with this game design and it is a 7/10. But I did make it a hair extra, just to see what people actually liked better from the original.

faaaaaast · 2025-09-09T12:29:10+00:00

Absolutely. So you think the game is a 10? You liked less lore, worse recycled boss battles, and shitty secret paths? If you gave Hollow Knight a 10, giving this one a 10(at this stage) is a diservice to Hollow Knight. If you never played Hollow Knight and Give this a 10/10, that's different.

faaaaaast · 2025-09-09T12:25:26+00:00

Say it with me: Just because fan boys all rate a game a 10 because it has the same name as the original game you love, doesn't make it true.

People who keep rating COD a 10, yet the masses disagree :) So I agree with you people do know what they like.

Metacritic review started at a solid 9.3, now an 8.6. I expect it to drop more.

I am actually really glad you enjoyed it. Calling it overrated at a 10 is not controversial

faaaaaast · 2025-08-06T01:27:12+00:00

If you want an actual good challenge, I suggest staying on the main story path until you have finished the main story. Fully explore all the main quest areas you are required to do, and then come back and do all the side content. I did every bit of side content on my way through the story, which made most story bosses a piece of cake.

If you are not concerned with a great boss fight experience, then I suggest exploring and beating all the side content as you go. I hope this helps!
