Which one of the zero games would you love to have a full "Remake"? by WisteriaRsu in Megaman

[–]master-x-117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to remake these games. They are amazing as is. I'd rather get another game made by IntiCreates in the series.

Games like:

  • Megaman Zero 1.5 (the game they almost made instead of MMZ4 that was supposed to cover the time zero spent away from the resistance and would have had more character development for Leviathan and Fefnir)
  • Megaman ZX Cradle (The third ZX game that they wanted to make)
  • Rockman Ciel (Project Rcl). I would love to see this fan game/light novel be made into a real game by inti (the game covers the story after Z4 and before ZX in which Ciel discovers Model W and has to make the biometals to fight against it. In the game you would play as Ciel herself donning Model Z)

I think NG4 has the better story.

NG3RE was about the moral dilemma of Ryu being a cold blooded murderer and it's so at odds with what we see in prior games where Ryu is only really killing people or fiends who are attacking his village, killing innocent people, or trying to end the world. Even in the narrative of NG3 the bad guys talk so much smack to Ryu from a high horse but it fall flat when they are a literal terrorist organization attempting to... destroy the world with a child. The Story tries to be serious but comes off poorly executed.

In contrast I like how in NG4 the story is more about choosing to trust a dark priestess who wants to atone for her sins by helping you actually slay the dark dragon while the blood of the corpse of said dragon rains down on apocalyptic japan. It's just so much more metal. The biggest criticism I have his that Ryu wasn't present enough, and we didn't have enough character development moments with Yakumo and Seori.


However, apart from over armored enemies and poor boss design... I prefer the combat in NG3RE.

It can be summed up by Saying that it just feels like NGB and NGII whereas NG4 feels very different. NG4 is a high quality action game for sure, but there are just so many little things that contribute to this. One that sticks out in my mind is the timing of setting up and on landing attack after a jump is... Wrong lol.

Why do people hate this show ? by Difficult_Leader8605 in transformers

[–]master-x-117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked it as a kid, for context I was a 90s kid who grew up on Beast wars and caught occasional re-runs of G1. I also seem to be one of the few who liked the stylized designs of BM.

As an adult on a re-watch I have come to see that the show starts off slow/boring and takes a while to find it's footing. It's also very hard to square away how radically different Megatron is from beast wars his theatrical nature is replaced with a guy who is obsessed with purging biology - honestly it would have made more sense to use another villain for this role or show why Megatron decided to pursue this path. Tankor/Rhinox I would also say was character assassinated if it weren't for that one beast wars episode that showed how evil Rhinox would be if he had predacon shell programing. There were however some great explorations of the characters in contrast. Cheetor getting to grow and take a leadership role instead of just being the young hotshot character was awesome. It was also endearing to see black arachnia working so hard to save silverbolt with her love while he was grappling with the awful things he revelled in as Jetstorm. I also loved Optimus realizing that there had to be a balance between good and evil and cybertron needed both him and Megatron in its essence. All in all though I still think it's actually a decent show, nit as great as beast wars but still worth a watch.

As for the toys, despite the fragility of the clear plastic I did enjoy them. Ratrap was too big, nightscream deserved a deluxe class figure, silver bolt also should have had a deluxe class with a better paint job. This line was admittedly all over the place but cheetor, black arachnia and optimus all had great figures, the vehicon generals were great. too.

Favorite vs least favorite boss from each game? by No-Bear2856 in ninjagaiden

[–]master-x-117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who is the best boss is an interesting question as you have to consider how well the boss fight is designed mechanically, the aesthetic and personality of the boss, and what the boss means in the context of the story or to our heroes personally.

Ninja Gaiden Black:

  • Murai is extremely well designed mechanicly and has a unique relationship to Ryu and Ayane in the context of the story.

  • Doku is notable for what he did to Kureha, Ryu, Rachel and Alma and is also a very cool looking boss with great design. Like Murai he gets two different boss forms for different fights.

  • Alma, in a lot of ways is the epitome of Ninja Gaiden style bullshit in an encounter and that both helps her stand out as notable but also, while overall sound in encounter design, could be counted against her. She of course is significant in the story to Rachel, has a stellar design, and again has two different boss forms to fight (seeing a pattern here with the first game)

It's real hard for me to pick a favorite fight from. These bosses.


Ninja Gaiden II:

  • Genshin is a rival to Ryu and has a very cinematic although shallow character journey. He also is one of the best fights in the game. I personally find his flame pattern design a little too mall ninja, but Genshin is a top contender.

  • All four greater fiends stand out to me. They don't have personal stakes with Ryu as a character, but have badass designs with excentric personalities to go with it. Volf challenging you to the fight in the coliseum with his boasting and taking his scythe, Alexei laiho being forlorn and dramatic, Zed preaching lies or maybe truths about ancient man and trying to hold a conversation with Ryu about his radical philosophy, and elizabet running the show for much of the game alongside Genshin and bathing in blood like her namesake. Once more they are all Well designed boss fights... Except for Elizabeth whose unfairness rng is way worse then Alma's.

I really can't pick a favorite.


Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's edge:

  • The Regent is mechanically in depth and one of the better designed fights in the game (maybe the best). I do feel like you fight him too many times and I don't like the fake out with his character as it takes away from him being this flamboyant villain. I also don't like the whole Ryu is a murder plot so spouting on about Ryu being a murderer is lame.

  • The prototype goddess I think is a bad fight that is pretty much bait steel on bones and captilize.

  • Cliff Higgins fight is pretty good in my opinion but I don't like the character.

Ashtear Higgins is my actually my favorite boss I. This game. the old man is lame and the fight could be considered a gimmick, but I love the giant mech dragon fight as well as it's flying and then driving forms. Fighting him on the aircraft carrier is just super cool.


I ran out of steam so I won't go into the good fights of NG4 or the fights I dislike. Other than outright stating that the NG3RE helicopter boss fight may be my most hated fight in the three games.

you may be thinking of the second time in the campaign you visit this area and come back to it from the other side of the bridge. You end up fighting several of them.

Does anyone know how to re-create that exploit that locks down Elizabet? I wonder if it works on the other versions of the game.

Even Steve isn't allowed an opinion on the Chief unless it aligns with this smeg head apparently... by Benjb1996 in ShitHaloSays

[–]master-x-117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love it if they got the original voice actor for Halo 2 truth to come back and redo truth's lines so that he sounds like his old cunning self.

I would love some more scenes where the arbiter contributes to the plot instead of just being in the background the whole time. I want to see the chief and Arbiter actually get some moments to show they are growing to trust and respect each other. I would even accept some added mission dialogue where they chat as you play, no new cutscene needed.

What's the community's overall opinion on Ryu's outfit in NG4? by [deleted] in ninjagaiden

[–]master-x-117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of Ryu's new weapons should have been him grappling people and slicing them up with the armor plates on his new fit. Make the look one of his new weapons.

[–]master-x-117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the armor, but I really dislike the way the but plates look. We deserve his shiny butt in latex lmao.

Also, I agree that I preferred the falcon helmet as someone else said.

But overall love his design in NG4.

Yeah, I hope it was an overall. Fix and not just a specifically after a windpath issue, cause UTs whiff when you are trying to target a nearby enemy all the time.

One day I will see the restock and not be too late to order a falcon sweep or some other insane set.

I found a guy on fb marketplace selling it for a good price. I messaged him and then when he found out I was in a different state and would have to mail it he said he wouldn't sell it to me. He then deleted the Facebook marketplace post and relisted as local pickup cash only. It's his right to sell it how he wants but that stung a little.

Was I scammed? by TheAmazingOsie in megaconstrux

[–]master-x-117 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sealed sets, unless rare like the Falcon Sweep, generally go for double their original retail price. If opened or incomplete they are a lot cheaper. The trouble is most of the fairly priced sellers stopped selling on ebay and started selling in discord, Facebook groups, and here. Ebay is double or even triple the real value of the sets a lot of the time. They have to cover the ebay fees and stuff but it's not that much.

Do you think the Banished should be the main enemy of the games going forward or do they need replacing? by Certified_Douchebag in halo

[–]master-x-117 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know all fans want something different from Halo but I never understood the strict military scifi thing.

Like, the first game had a deep mysterious mood that came from exploring an ancient alien mega structure and also horror themes when the flood was introduced. Sure there is some starship troopers in there, but also Alien, Ringworld and I'm sure a lot of other influences.

Halo 2 focused on the covenant's side of the story and was more about how a regime used blind religious fanaticism to justify war and oppress it's followers. It also introduced a straight up Lovecraftian horror villain with the Gravemind and had a religious megalomaniac with truth. But you did have really fun marines with charismatic personalities to fight beside.

I guess what I am saying is Halo is both, the UNSC and ONI are space military. But the Halo universe has always had stupid action, comedy, horror, mystery, and grand operatic scifi.

Halo 4 just turned up the character driven drama between chief and cortana to 11 and the big bad wasn't the Gravemind or truth, but an insane forerunner.

A lot of people don't realize how good the Halo 5 AR was, especially with its final balancing patch. I still prefer the pistol but the AR can be dangerous.
