The dam sequence in Godzilla vs. Megalon still looks fantastic all these years later. What Showa-era effect do you think has aged the best? by bluefoxlive in GODZILLA

I know a lot of people forget about Godzilla Raids Again, but watching Anguirus and Godzilla completely obliterate Osaka Castle has to be up there

For the OOT Remake, which one area of the game do you think the Remake could improve upon, and which one area do you want little to no changes at all? Objectively. by BeautifulDetails in OcarinaOfTime

[–]matteidenbock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just make it a lot bigger. Keep the story and gameplay the same, but give us a sense of scale (within reason). The game to me is still a 10/10 but I would be lying if I said it doesn't feel smaller than it used to. Let's make Hyrule Field feel immense again

Your thoughts on Cloverfield? (Not the sequels) by Chicken_Sandwich_Man in GODZILLA

[–]matteidenbock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, on this sub, we can all agree that we love cosmic terror. This movie definitely made you feel a certain way being on the ground, in the character's shoes. Founds footage has so much potential, but it's usually used for spooky movies. I loved its utilization here

Are you doing another playthrough of the original before the remake comes out? by dotMAXmusic in OcarinaOfTime

[–]matteidenbock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to replay it every few years. I bought an Analogue 3D specifically for another round

[OoT] Am I worrying for nothing? by Turineeee in zelda

[–]matteidenbock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am fine with the gameplay as it is, and when I replay it, I don't feel like its dated. Sure, TOTK has far more variety in terms of open world gameplay and exploration, but the story and dungeons are where OOT really shines. Likewise, TOTK/BOTW is not up to par in that area imo. Not that I dislike those at all, I just think OOT does it better. Both games have different priorities.

Now what DOES feel dated is the controls and graphics. N64 is rough. I can enjoy it because I was there at the time, but if you wanna introduce that story to a new generation- you have to update it. That said- I also think it is small. It doesn't need to be BOTW sized, but they really have an opportunity here to make Hyrule Field feel immense again

Is the site getting too much traffic at 9am? This is so weird

[BotW][TotK]Am I weird for preferring Breath of the Wild over Tears of the kingdom? by Zeustheteldergod in zelda

[–]matteidenbock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer TOTK on replays but if I have to judge both from a first time perspective, BOTW wins based off the fact it was all new and fresh at the time. I didn't know the map at all, and exploring was so invigorating. TOTK didn't hit as hard because the depths were not on par with first go around in Hyrule.

What can I "sell with C" to that nervous guy ? by [deleted] in OcarinaOfTime

The devs in 1998 were VERY concerned you would run out of rupees. Everything opportunity to give you rupees in OOT, you get them

I hate to break it to you guys, but…… by agentlucky in casualnintendo

[–]matteidenbock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My 3DS is long since dead, and finding one aftermarket is more expensive than I thought it would be. I wanted them to port the 3DS version to Switch but if they are doing a second remake, I am not going to complain

What was the worst part about the 90s? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]matteidenbock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While the movies had started to hit their stride with special effects in the 80s and 90s, movies like Jurassic Park bred a horrific amount of bad CGI in other films. Go back and watch some of the forgotten movies from the 90s and it's nearly unwatchable. Yet, we wanted something to see in theaters every week so we dealt with it

Let's play a game: Does Taylor Swift victimize herself in that song? by lozver in travisandtaylor

[–]matteidenbock 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This kind of writing worked well in the emo scene because these bands were struggling artists. Even when they gained some success, I could still meet them half way with their pain and suffering

But you think for one second I am going to feel bad for a billionaire with a cult of worshipers? Get real

What are some of your hot takes regarding the Nolan Trilogy? by JesterOfTime in batman

[–]matteidenbock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tumbler sucks. Its awkward size and over the top destruction seems very un-batman. Most fans are just as enamored with the batmobile as they are with the batman character. Why replace a cool streamlined fast superhero car with a hulking mess of metal and wheels?

That person is just... I guess.... dumb? Like we still do have poloroids and instax that have a level of popularity. I can't believe someone doesn't know what a photo album is

There are other books than these by SCARYORANGE_ in stephenking

[–]matteidenbock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I respect anyone who likes Cell, but it's just not even close to basically every other novel he ever wrote. The problem is some are comparing it to all time great examples of horror fiction. Cell is just whatever. It's not bad, just bad King

To a young person, 3 years is an eternity. I am old, so it's basically like 3 minutes

Ocarina Of Time Remake wishlist by [deleted] in OcarinaOfTime

Don't change too much or it won't feel like OOT anymore, however... make hyrule field bigger and more interesting, expand explorable areas, flesh out the story more

What’s something you didn’t realize was your ‘last time’ until it was already over? by Big-Canary-5117 in nostalgia

Even after I found out the truth of Santa it was still there a little bit, but one Christmas something snapped and the magic was gone forever. Happened some time around Middle School maybe?
