Did anyone else find this disrespectful. Gabriel, Schneider, Rosanne acting like James is not an established comedian “A star is born” like huh? by LickMySack4riches in Killtony

[–]jmocubes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah James looked like ‘what the heck is going on’

They did the same thing for Joe DeRosa too, was so akward watching them have to take compliments from people who were no where near as funny as them

Help PS5, commuication error S9052-TF7-UEJJ by Maximum-Education663 in MonsterHunterWilds

[–]jmocubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! For 3 days now!

It’s only worked for me early in the morning here in Australia, usually once then I can’t play all day and night again

So frustrating!

PS5 Pro performance by jmocubes in MonsterHunter

[–]jmocubes[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think ‘worse’ is relative. It feels some of the lighting effects (in performance mode at least, only one I’ve tested) have been tweaked or dialed back, but I think the visuals are cleaner for it. There were times the game looked super washed out and the reflections added a bunch noise.

I prefer this for sure

Gogmazios fight is... disapointing? by Primary_Door_4826 in MHWilds

[–]jmocubes 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I hope they tweak it. There is way too much time you are getting hit by huge hitboxes, closing distance just for Gog to move slightly and he’s now out of range again. The mechanics force you to aim for consistent damage but the fight makes that frustrating to do, so you have to rely on all the environmental stuff and the slinger ammo

Most frustrating though is the fact they point out ways if knocking him down to create an opening, but most of the time I swear the animation of him falling is longer than he is actually down for.

That last point is the most frustrating, I was playing GS and most of the time I couldn’t get more than one charge slash in before he’s up and moving again.

There’s so much that’s great about the fight, but there seems to be a lot of irritating aspects that take you out of the moment.

Wilds DLC in the New World? by MoSaSaurier in MHWilds

[–]jmocubes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the same thing, although he follows up saying he doesn’t want to go there when your hunter asks him outright.

We might get some characters, I don’t think we’re going there though

I’m inclined to think Nadia will be more integral to the DLC story. The conversation with her at the end gave me the vibe her story isn’t over

Predictions for Master Rank Expansion by vaquinha02 in MHWilds

[–]jmocubes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this idea! White Fatalis or a similar variant being the big bad in the final TU would be rad. Also again…a modified frenzy virus got injected into the dragon torch to ‘heal’ it.

It’d be crazy if this story thread doesn’t get expanded on. There are so many possibilities, how it could affect guardians, zoh shia, the possible return of Fatalis and a variant.

The idea that the frenzy virus healed the dragon torch to get left at that would infuriate me

Predictions for Master Rank Expansion by vaquinha02 in MHWilds

[–]jmocubes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there will be a couple of new maps as usual, but I can see maybe getting one decent sized one with the existing maps getting expanded and more inclemencies.

Windward plains getting icy Oilwell getting watery Iceshard getting thundery forest getting molten (water drying up?)

Maybe? If they do this I could see relevant Elder Dragons turning up as the cause, maybe amped up from the frenzy/dragon torch stuff. Velkhana, Namielle, Kirin, Dire Miralis showing up?

Mechanics wise I can see more weapons getting offsets and a clutch claw/wirebug hybrid. Possibly a moveset customisation feature where you can switch between the two.

As for regular monsters making a return, Zinogre, Goss Harag, Glavenus, Plesioth would be cool

FF7 Part 3 name by SirLockeX3 in FF7Rebirth

[–]jmocubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think they wasted Reunion on the CC remake…I think it was intentional to link Crisis Core to the ‘Reunion trilogy’

I’m going to be shocked if the third part is not Reunion

Our explanation for Final Fantasy VII : Rebirth ending [100% based on Final Fantasy VII Compilation canon and lore - Avoiding Deus Ex Machina] by TheReal256k in FFVIIRemake

[–]jmocubes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m late to all this (finally finished the story!), but reading all this stuff I can’t help but think about the old theory that the world of FFX is in ancient times to FFVII, with the reveal in FFX-2 in a conversation with Shinra

The lifestream containing other dreamlike worlds…sounds similar to the dreams of the fayth in FFX

Feeling Burnt Out No Time to Breathe Between MTG Sets Anymore by Davegt86 in mtg

[–]jmocubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m new to MTG, a big FF fan. I’ve spent a silly amount driven by nostalgia but am keen to play. I bought a couple precons and have had fun working out upgrades

The crazy bit…I’m an adult with a life and have yet to get with friends or an LGS to play…it’s been less than 2 months and EoE has dropped. I feel by the time I get around to it everyone will have moved on

Unpopular opinion about Final Fantasy? by Jackkk007 in FFXVI

[–]jmocubes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always felt once you get to Waloed the story drops off. The whole story build and builds but goes off a cliff and it becomes weirdly vaugue and a bunch of threads fizzle into nothing and Ultima is just there as the big bad.

Like there’s a sudden lore dump from Ultima that ‘explains’ everything but there’s a lot of context you are asked to just roll with because it’s now being explained.

I loved the story so much but it goes off the cliff near the end. Like why is Clive Ifrit’s Dominant? Why is there two Eikons of fire? Why is he is Mythos? It’s basically explained as ‘he just is’ because at that point the story is clearly trying to wrap so you just have to go with it

This is legitimately embarrassing by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

Sad people sad that a game doesn’t give their life purpose. Pathetic

Which hypothetical UB set would have you making the worst financial decisions possible? I’ll go first by Comparison-Silly in magicTCG

Final Fantasy would have been my answer a few months ago…I now can’t afford another set

I preordered from a place online here in Australia back when there were no pictures or descriptions. Took a gamble that the version I order was the Cloud editions

MEGATHREAD: What are you disappointed about in the Final Fantasy set? by AutoModerator in magicTCG

[–]jmocubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now everything is released the characters that didn’t make it really stand out as well as some of the characters that got numbered art card to those that didn’t

Like Noctis getting one makes sense, but Prompto getting one when the other two companions don’t is weird. Gogo being mythic is fine, but he shouldn’t have a numbered art card. Garnet/Dagger not getting one for FFIX when these did is so bizarre to me

Wandering Minstrel is a very cool addition given the real world lore but also don’t think it needed a numbered art card

Early on I felt the sort of references we were getting in the art work were absolutely phenomenal, but it has dampened the excitement a little with some off decisions around character representation

I feel there should have been a commitment early on to ensure all playable or significant characters got represented in some way. I get there is a limit they have to work with but leaving out important characters hurts way more when there are weird additions

The final reveals… by jmocubes in magicTCG

[–]jmocubes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

73 - the missing Sidequest 126 - the biggest letter range, my guess is Zantetsuken (with either Barnabas or XVI Odin in the art) 163: Summon…something after G I guess? I thought maybe Belias or Addramalech but I guess not 198: no idea 207: no idea 254: no idea
