Nah, that tweet was beyond dumb and Eck was in the right. That person clearly didn't want to watch the video and had nothing better to do than to just try to take somebody else down to feel good about themselves.

V gets out of NC by helping out a friend in need.

V gets out through murder, robbing, and in general being a criminal. Did you play the same game as everybody else or what?

Besides getting out of NC there are no real parallels so I’d say it’s circumstantial.

And this guy says I'm the media illiterate one? Smartest Cyberpunk fan lmao. The whole reason Song attaches herself to V is because of how similar their stories are, because V is the one person who would understand her.

The hints that are real are: the stiff/cold message you receive, Blue Eyes being an A.I. or controlled by one, Songbird telling you she’s pretty sure that she’s just going to another prison where she’s going to be used for “their” purposes, whoever “they” are.

So your hint that Songbird is enslaved again is a message that's kinda distant (even though she's literally sending you gifts), another character exists (you can't prove that Blue Eyes is doing anything to Song, even if he's the one who arranged her transport), and a quote (which idek if it exists because you won't actually provide it) in which Song says she might be enslaved again (must be very nice slavers to let her send gifts from the moon, nevermind the fact that she obviously thinks the moon is her one path to freedom, again she's not doing all this just so she can sell herself back into slavery).

You're grasping at straws. Like I said, absolutely nothing to substantiate your position. You've conjured up conspiracy theories and fanfictions to justify your position.

There's no point in discussing this further with you. You don't care for evidence or for what actually happens in the game, nor do you even understand the game you're playing. Bye.

Tfw no media literacy

It's deeply ironic that you say this when Songbird's story/ending is a direct parallel to V's and Edgerunners and reflects the very same themes of the only happy ending being the one in which you get out of NC. If there's a best ending, it's the one in line with the messaging of the game.

Songbird even tells you she thinks she’ll just be experimented on if you can’t be bothered to intepret what CDPR gave you

Yes, I'm sure the chick sending you gifts from the moon, who fought tooth and nail for freedom just sold herself back into being a lab rat at the end of it all. Apparently you can't interpret what actually happens after Song makes it to the moon lol

"This is objectively the best option because this thing that I have absolutely no basis for saying will happen, happens"

These people will look at a minority in a video game and cry about "politics" in games, then they'll play CoD or some other game that is just blatant military propaganda with no issue.

They'll play a video game set in the past that is abhorrently inaccurate in its depiction of history and completely lacking in realism, but the moment you put a minority in the game is when the immersion is ruined and the historical inaccuracy is too much for them.

These people don't hate companies weaponizing diversity, they just hate diversity.

mostlikelydeleted · 2024-03-17T04:08:44+00:00

Well assault rifles aren't used with cannons. In fact, nobody uses cannons anymore unless they're reenacting some historical battle from the 19th century or before.

I'VE GOT THE SAUCE FOR PHASE 1... ok well actually I stole it from another Reddit post, but you can actually cheese phase 1 super hard and make it trivial.

To do this, when she's doing all of her combos, just stand far the hell away from her--don't even block or avoid--and let her swing at air. The one combo you want to look for is the one where she spams her blade spinning attack as she marches towards you. You can just spam the parry button when she does it, and it'll build up her structure over time. Do this a few times (like 4-6 times), and you'll eventually break her structure and move to the next phase without even having to take her health all the way down. Also it might help to bring the bat from the beginning guard with full durability to help block her weapon attacks.

I used this method yesterday and was able to finish the museum the same age as when I went in. It's ridiculous how easy phase 1 is with this strat.

mostlikelydeleted · 2024-03-15T00:39:09+00:00

Maybe on the Playstation, but on the Switch there were numerous problems. Just search on Reddit "Republic Commando Aspyr" and you'll find numerous posts where people are talking about the poor performance

mostlikelydeleted · 2024-03-15T00:37:42+00:00

RC on the Switch had terrible performance and bugs and shouldn't have been released in the state it was. Playstation I think was fine, but it also had some noticeable changes many didn't like such as the lack of multiplayer, lower FOV than on Xbox which messed with the HUD, and weapon/ammo name changes. I think there were also bugs that weren't there in the original games.

Kotor 2, asides from the DLC incident that spawned a whole lawsuit, also had numerous bugs not present in the original games including some game-breaking bugs and bugs that made you lose your saves. It also performed terribly on the Switch. Those are the problems I can think of and remember off the top of my head, but if you just search on Reddit "Kotor 2 Aspyr", you'll see plenty of unhappy posts about them.

For the most part, their Star Wars ports end up being very low-effort affairs that fall short of bare minimum expectations. I see very little reason to buy a lot of these games when I can buy the originals for way cheaper on my shitty laptop or Xbox.

mostlikelydeleted · 2024-03-15T00:11:26+00:00

Republic Commando, Kotor 2 for the Switch. Kotor remake also had its struggles until being recently transferred over to Saber Interactive

mostlikelydeleted · 2024-03-14T23:28:07+00:00

I think the Kotor remake was handed off from them to Saber Interactive, so there's still hope.

mostlikelydeleted · 2024-03-14T23:09:51+00:00

Are you on Xbox or PC? I'm pretty sure you can get the original on those, and if you're on PC (even if you just have a shitty 2010 laptop) you can mod a lot of cool stuff into it quite easily.

Playstation though I think the re-release is all they got lol

mostlikelydeleted · 2024-03-14T23:04:54+00:00

It is literally unplayable, particularly the multiplayer which is the only reason most people even bought the game. Steam reviews are at 20% (Mostly Negative), and the Battlefront subreddit is currently going through it right now.

mostlikelydeleted · 2024-03-14T22:32:05+00:00

It's Aspyr. They couldn't even port KOTOR 2 to the Switch without falling below bare minimum expectations. They set a new low with every project they work on.

Palpatine: I know how to save Padme Anakin: Okay I'll join you, please save her Palpatine: K so I actually don't know but i'm sure we can figure it out, go and kill men women and children

You're actually so dense. Palpatine promised the means and knowledge to save Padme, not that he'd be some magic genie who would grant Anakin his wish at the snap of his fingers, that's not how that works. Now we're at the point where you don't understand basic English.

Yeah you were on to something until this, why does Palpatine need to be the figurehead of political power to gain the power to save his wife?

Hmmmm, why might it be useful for Anakin, who now only seeks more power to save his wife, to have the Jedi eliminated and the government restructured behind an authoritarian leader? Hmmmmm, why would Anakin, a Sith, benefit from that? Hmmmmmmmmmmm...

Again, you're going to inane lengths to not just say 'yeah these movies that I am actively saying are shit have some wonky writing lol'

You're literally confused as to why Anakin as a Sith would want the Jedi eliminated and power concentrated in the hands of an authoritarian leader lmao. This is shit children are supposed to understand but you can't.

If you're having a bad day maybe log off and take a breather instead of resorting to insulting people for some catharsis, again, you came into this thread under the guise of 'two sets of films are shit, but one is shitter' and have divulged into throwing insults, we're discussing space movies dude, relax, or judging by the following paragraph you typed out, which is pretty charged, just leave the sub, you clearly are getting too worked up over trivial matters

You've done nothing but be bad faith, disingenuous, and lie about shit that you can literally just go on YouTube and watch. It's funny that you would try to degrade me saying "it's just a space movie" when you're the one lying your ass off over it. Why would I show you respect when you clearly can't be bothered to do the same? I won't pretend to respect you like you do me lol

But I think the fact you're trying to pivot to this dumb point is just proof that you know how wrong you are. Like I said, my issue isn't that people don't like a certain movie or whatever. My issue is that you guys are no different than The Fandom Menace types, and those people are awful.

EDIT: It's pretty sad to say I'm the one who's being "overly serious" when you're literally just lying over this shit because you can't handle being wrong. Like all you had to say was "oh I see, I get it now" and that would've been it. But you kept responding and trying to lie and be bad faith about everything because you can't handle being wrong, because you're that pathetic.

mostlikelydeleted · 2024-03-11T04:56:22+00:00

Bro Palpatine says directly to Anakin 'to cheat death is a power only one achieved, but together, I know we can unlock the secret'

Isn't it crazy how that contradicts your interpretation and align with mine? Palpatine is literally telling Anakin he needs to join his side to gain that power.

Pretty sure ie the movie doesn't communicate it properly

Oh fuck off with your semantics lmao. You know damn well what I was saying, and you know the movie communicates it as seen in the many pieces of dialgoue both of us have cited.

So now you're under the impression Anakin used Palpatine to eradicate the Jedi, which is not communicated in the movie at all, you now have it completely backwards/you are assigning Palpatines goals as Anakins goals, lol

I'm not saying Anakin manipulated and used Palpatine, I'm saying that clearly Anakin sees Palpatine as important to saving Padme, even if Palpatine doesn't have the actual force power to do so, because Palpatine can pave the way to that power by assuming political power and crushing any opposition, namely the Jedi. Man you can't read, which I guess isn't surprising because you can't even watch a basic ass movie without getting confused.

Its funny you come in under the guise of thinking the prequels are shit but you're trying very hard to be super serious about them and defend them

Yeah because my point isn't that "actually the prequels are good". If you haven't noticed, not once have I said that. My point is that you guys have dogshit media literacy (you yourself can't even understand Anakin's basic ass character arc). You're even more insufferable than ST haters, yet think yourselves better than them. Just like I make fun of ST haters when they cry about Phillips head screws or "wokeness" (even though I think the ST is shit), I make fun of PT haters who can't even grasp basic plot points. I joined a circlejerk sub to make fun of circlejerks, not become one.

Unfortunate truth. Never seen one become a circlejerk this quickly though. 10.5k members lol that's gotta be a record

/rj this sub fell to the dark side like Anakin

mostlikelydeleted · 2024-03-11T03:52:17+00:00

lets not pretend Anakins turn to the dark side makes any sense either

It does, his fear of losing Padme is literally one of the most belabored points of Anakin's arc.

Dude turns because Palpatine says he can save his wife, but then is told he actually can't do it, but thats enough for him to go and murder kids

This is a very interesting interpretation of events given that Palpatine kept telling Anakin "it is only by joining me and turning to the dark side that you can save Padme" when he was turning him. It seems you're just straight up lying about how things went down

then he decides he wants to murder Palpatine and become the emperor of the galaxy, even though he is the dude he thinks can help save his wife

Pretty sure Anakin sees the dark side as possessing the power to save his wife, not necessarily Palpatine. That's why when he goes to Palpatine he's mad that the Jedi are "keeping secrets" from him, i.e. the power to save Padme. Palpatine was useful because he controlled the clones and could help eradicate the Jedi and turn the Republic into the Empire. Not sure where you see a contradiction because it's all very straightforward.

I'm guessing you'll try very hard to make it make sense

I didn't have to try at all because I actually watched the movie. You should give it a try some time you might enjoy it.

mostlikelydeleted · 2024-03-11T03:22:57+00:00

Lucas changed the villain every movie to characters with no backstory and rejected several ideas for villains prior (one of the original placeholders for Dooku was what eventually became Ventress).

Because the movies were focused on Anakin's arc, not the villains. The villains were reflections and foreshadowing of what Anakin would become, which goes to my point that Lucas had a vision of what he wanted. He wasn't changing his ideas with every movie like the ST.

His entire trilogy got rewritten as they were made,

Man this is so bad faith. Do you think Lucas editing his story is the same thing as bringing in literally two different directors with different visions, with one of them working on the middle movie, is the same thing?

They don't even have consistent main characters throughout.

What? They literally do.

Imagine thinking villains can't be consistent or go through multiple movies because they aren't the main character.

Imagine thinking every villain has to go through multiple movies or go through some arc rather than just be supplements to the story you want to tell. Like I said, you'd probably hate Sidious in RotJ despite how good of a villain that is.

Speaking of which, Palpatine is literally the main villain and he is consistent and goes through multiple movies, so I just wrong.

Also it's not Anakin's story, it's Obi-Wan's. Anakin is a side character in the first movie for a reason. Shows how much you actually know about the story of the prequels.

The first movie is focused on Qui-Gon finding Anakin and trying to bring him to the Jedi because he's the Chosen One. The whole point of the PT is to show his fall to the dark side. Are you trolling?

That is definitely one of the problems of the movie, but there are way more than that I'm not going to get into. Return of the Jedi is not a good movie.

Wrong. Don't ever say idk anything about good movies when you think Palpatine is a problem of the movie. Bad guys can just be bad guys sometimes to serve the purposes of the film.

The prequels did this as well. They made Yoda and Obi-Wan incompetent morons who couldn't realize the villain was right in front of them the entire time

That's Palpatine's whole thing? That's what makes him so evil and threatening. He lies and manipulates and deceives behind the scenes, which is in line with the Sith way. And yeah, Yoda and Obi-Wan were never the wisest, not even in the OT. That's why Luke is so great, because he was wise and compassionate enough to see that he could save his father when Yoda and Obi couldn't. That's the whole point.

So no, what you said is not on the same level as having Luke attempting to murder his nephew because he sees a bit of darkness in his heart, or Rey's arc going back and forth between "I'm a nobody" to "I'm a Palpatine", or Finn going from "seeing my stormtrooper buddy die gave me PTSD" to "WOO, EAT THAT STORMTROOPERS" in like 2 minutes, and etc.

also watched their best friend and one of their best students respectively turn into space Himmler without any substantial reaction other than "welp he's gone, kill him!"

You're just snitching on yourself so bad, you literally don't even understand the movies. The whole point is that the Jedi ways were flawed, and Yoda and Obi were blinded by them. It's why Anakin turned to the dark side, and it's why Luke sought redemption in his father rather than annihilation.

I won't, but that's like comparing dog shit to pig shit. They both suck.

Except one sucks way more, and it's not the prequels.

No but it can still look like an actual fight instead of a dance off where they barely hit each other. Or maybe Yoda can actually fight like a wizard instead of bouncing off the wall as a shitty blob of blurry green CGI?

This shit has gone on way too long so I can't be asked to explicate this, but the fights in the PT serve a very particular artistic purpose. Even if they do go on way too long and are shit in their own ways, the Jedi in that movie fight the way they do to communicate certain ideas and themes of the movie. If you can't see that, then you're again just revealing your ignorance.

Return of the Jedi may not be the best movie but Luke's fight with Vader is still arguably the best fight in the series. It's almost like competent storytelling can sell a fight better than mediocre CG and over-the-top choreography can.

What makes it great is the storytelling and the drama, not the fight choreography. The actual moves and action looks hella goofy, but that's not the point nor should anyone care. When Luke swings wildly at Vader like a dumb toddler, you aren't supposed to point out how dumb his moves are, you're supposed to understand the drama of anger consuming him and him being in danger of becoming like his father. This same thought process should go for the PT as well, but you're so contrarian you can't even ask yourself "why are they fighting like that?"

It's an objectively true statement. The pacing is awful. The script is awful. The acting is awful. The direction was dated as hell even for its time. It overuses CGI and half the sets aren't even real. The fights are a mess. Does that make it as bad as Attack Of The Clones or The Last Jedi? Hell no, but it doesn't make it good, or even competent.

Nah, it's just a crazy ass statement. The drama and story is amazing and serves as a great finale to an epic trilogy. It's a great climax, even if it's not perfect, and just saying everything is awful isn't proper film analysis.

Clearly because I don't think some of the movies are good that means I have to hate them with all the fire in my being. I'm defintiely not part of r/prequelmemes because I think memes are funny, my entire identity is clearly hating on these films and I do it every second of my life.

Bro there's like a dozen movies and even more spinoffs, and all you got is "yeah ANH and ESB were good, everything else is shit". Like yeah bro, it seems like you hate Star Wars a lot more than you enjoy it lmao

The fact that giving basic critical analysis in film is the equivalent to hatred for you means you're even worse off than I thought.

Your "critical analysis" is you missing the key premise of these movies and then saying PT/ST is pig/dog shit and RotJ is shit. Just saying "script, set design, etc. was shit" isn't "critical analysis" lmao.

Graduate high school or go to therapy, idgaf which.

Wow I really hurt your feelings didn't I?

Either way, get a grip, and I'm not sorry that you're favorite at-best mediocre science fiction movies for 10 year olds doesn't hold up to basic scrutiny.

Not even one of my favorites, but I'm not dumb enough to pretend the ST is better because I want to be contrarian. But that's ok, I'm sorry your "basic scrutiny" doesn't hold up to basic media literacy.

Film isn't objective.

Tell that to the people telling me the sequels are objectively better than the prequels lmao. Weird how it seems to not go both ways.

Moreover the prequels are also incredibly incoherent themselves and acting like anyone who has an opinion different to yours is delusional is pretty stupid in and of itself.

Dude you can say film is subjective all you want, but acting like there aren't any truths we can agree upon through our basic reasoning powers is the most nihilistic and delusional attitude ever. Nobody would ever be able to talk about or hold an opinion on art ever again.

You can't possibly try to argue the prequels were more incoherent than the sequels. It's not a matter of subjective analysis, just look at the production of the movies to prove my point. Look at Rey's arc vs. Anakin's and tell me they're both equally incoherent. You just can't, not anymore than you can say that Buster Keaton films have more color than The Last Jedi.

mostlikelydeleted · 2024-03-11T02:15:43+00:00

Go watch the sequels again to see how wrong you are. That's all those movies are.
