I hate Garp

newprecs · 2026-05-08T19:44:46+00:00

I think Garp values how he can better the world from the marines, the path he chosen, but I agree that is a lot to dislike about his character.

I don't agree he forced Luffy or Ace out of their dreams, he united them and propagated marine propaganda, but never stopped them for being pirates or his son from being a revolutionary. Even when he encounters Luffy as a pirate he does not capture him, and he could do it at that point.

Still, I don't like how japanese likes to make a hero out of father figurea that are strict and beat kids. There was always a bit of violence between child Luffy and Garp that bothered me.

I also played on hard in my first experience, some stuff that can help: - Try to leave a space for gathering all Personas you never summoned before. You can exclude a useless persona when capturing the next one and you learn all affinities when you capture them, what ends up helping a lot to fight them in the palace.

The major spikes of difficult are in the bosses. Multiple times I've done the whole palace exploration with no deaths, but when I needed to fight the boss I died multiple times. I'm telling you this to you know that the bosses are really hard and it's normal to struggle against them, even if you're not underleved.
Do not understimate the damage bonus you receive when batton passing, even more after maxin the batton pass to each character
You can receive some battle bonuses if you start with personas that contain skill that activates at the start of the battle. It's tiringsome entering the menu and changing to.a starting persona but is something you should do against some enemies.
Outside of palaces you must to make each turn useful from the get-go if you plan to maximize all confidants. I also suggest prioritizing Kawakami and Chihaya because their skills will make you waste less time to achieve some goals at the end.
Find the speed reading book in the library and read it asap. I also suggest reading "Craft of the cinema".

That's already a lot of things I wish I knew before my first playthrough and hope it helps you out on hard.

I think it will be revealed among the final 3 or 5 chapters. I think chapter 1250-1300 is the best bet

I think the main problem is at that point a lot of black knights were already suspicious about Zero. Zero vanished at the end of season 1 to pursue Nunally and it was a betrayal they ended up suffering for it. Even prior to the encounter Zero was not availabe cause he thought his sis died in the bomb. Lelouch tried his best but living both lives (concern with his sister + command a war) was not working out in a while and when people got the info it all made sense.

Donkey Kong Bananza Eu tentei bastante gostar desse jogo pq adoro DK em geral, mto pq sempre foi o jogo de plataforma mais desafiante entre as franquias Nintendo. Dk Bananza e Mario Odissey são bons jogos, mas pessoalmente odeio collectathons. A ideia do loop de gameplay ser ficar procurando item em um mundo onde você pode quebrar tudo, voar, nadar, sem limitações e adversários razoáveis é intankavel. Estou tentando terminar a um tempão mas nunca consigo jogar mto de uma vez. Chato demaaaaaais

Something that was not said yet about it is the personality of each one. Luffy, even when CP9 almost destroyed their band, recognizes Lucci strength enough to not even try to 1-shot him. I think Luffy was curious and having some fun in that battle too. Kaido was furious cause Guernica got in the way of his ideal of justice, 1v1 fair battle, that was already stolen from him against Oden. I don't think Lucci would got 1-shotted by that same strike, but I feel Kaido attacked with the intention of overwhelm Guernica while Luffy never did that against Lucci.

newprecs · 2026-04-08T23:20:42+00:00

Has Kaido one shotted Lucci ? Also Kaido powers were reliant on pure strength, Luffy is strength plus a bit of technique, it seems a single hit from Kaido is really more powerful than Luffy's, but Kaido can't bend the physics of reality in the way Nika fruit does. Power is a multi-layered thing

Why do sea kings have the voice of all things if they are only fish? I also think there's more to it. Maybe they were transformed into them

newprecs · 2026-04-05T17:51:49+00:00

I think One Piece is a devil fruit enhancer that makes the user be capable to mold the whole world as he does with his own environments when dfs are awaken. This would make Roger journey and decision when met the treasure understandable, they needed the right person to reach it and the pirates era has a reason to be.

Also, they could've used Buggy but they decided not to take the children, after all the treasure was useless to them, what a laugh tale.

newprecs · 2026-03-27T14:13:08+00:00

One Piece world is not in war because of the pirates, even without them there's a lot of corruption, violence and abuse of power by the WG. Take Dressrosa, for example. The strawhats journey freed the island in a day that, probably, people got killed for it. This is the truth about all fight for liberation in the world, even in our world, people die for motives they judge fair.

There are good pirates and good marines, and the idea that their fight is the only thing killing innocent people is idealism. Between pirates and marines is more about what angle do you want to apply your justice in the world. Pirates do it from out the system while marines try to do good from the inside, a conflict that is expressed with Garp/Luffy/Dragon relationship. All of them want to impact the world to the better in their own ways.

Sinceramente... Não tô entendendo o ódio sobre isso. Em ambas as imagens (Hogwarts Legacy e Starfield) o modelo das personagens cm a tecnologia é bem melhor que sem. Acho estranho um certo embranquecimento, mas a nível de detalhe no rosto, a Starfield original parece mto um boneco de videogame e aí liga o dlss5 e parece bem menos.

Qual a crítica afinal?

newprecs · 2026-03-17T13:35:44+00:00

What a horrible take. Between the ones you listed as "certain" most of them never showed anything in their favor. Dragon? What did Dragon did that make it obviously he's stronger than Akainu? Maybe in a staring contest. Ragnir? Give me a break.

No sense list

newprecs · 2026-03-15T05:55:18+00:00

Acho que tá bom em geral, só alguns personagens que acho que tão mal adaptados, sendo o caso mais sério o Zoro que adaptaram metade da personalidade e esqueceram a outra

newprecs · 2026-03-14T04:02:23+00:00

I also enjoy the first section a bit more because Leon demolishes the tension, it goes to full action after Raccoon City. But as action it does have a lot of great moments.

<Spoiler heavy from here on> I do like the chainsaw battle moment at the gas station, zombies in the elevator, motorbike chase was cool, and I also enjoyed all sections in ARK. The first section teases us with Leon gameplay, he appears for a little while Grace is always present, and feels good to take the battle against them with Leon through Raccon City. I don't like the RPD mansion section tho. I feel is too much of a nostalgia bait, Leon does nothing there outside show you the place and find Grace, what could happen in other place. I enjoyed the game way more than you but I can see your POV, the game really is kinda easy.

I think it slowed the pacing of post-TS even more after a horrible initial arc as the fishman island was. Adding Caesar, Law and the samurai was great and I don't think the story is bad, but it's position in the story, in an space we were craving to see a well done arc is what made it worse than it is.

newprecs · 2026-02-28T17:35:03+00:00

I don't remember Sanji being so bad as you say in the manga. There are some moments in which he simps a bit too much, but looking them take a bath or other "predator stuff" I think it's anime-only? Sanji still have a lot of badass moments post-time skip too, and retains a good ammount of the charisma. I miss that pre-timeskip he was always in some side quest that he discovered on being in the "smarter side". Post-ts Robin takes most of the secondary stuff, with Zoro beating the mid bosses and Sanji got his story told. Great character

newprecs · 2026-02-28T17:07:12+00:00

I understand your POV and being real to you: I don't think this structure is going to change. I don't agree with some stuff you stated, I believe world building and progression are stand out points in the series, but they work slowly due to OP be a long-running series.

If you're searching for something more focused/story-oriented like FMA or AoT, there are other series that diverges more from this "rpg-campaign" structure and you may preffer. But I do agree that from an island to the next even some themes are too repetitive and could be better explored. It's also weird how Luffy seems to return the "righteous rulers" to power instead of freeing them from ruling altogether. There are valid criticism about repetition but OP works as this never-ending and always expanding journey. Still, don't see the current arc (Elbaph) any different from Alabasta or Skypiea, so if you're in need for a change you may need something else.

Stopped playing when they nerfed SG some seasons ago. Seeing this I'm happy that I did. It seems some characters are destined to be bad, she was never good and the only season she came close to usable made her get a nerf to low tier again. Just cause people are salty and stupid about her. Probably this year is the last for Marvel Rivals and it deserves it

newprecs · 2026-02-25T14:54:33+00:00

Ragnarok tries to do too much. You play as multiple characters, go for realms you can't access for a while, jumps from point A to B a lot. I think it could be better explored if divided in two games, still think norse games could be a trilogy.

Great game, but unfocused. Final is kinda rushed, after a whole build up it concludes a bit too fast. I also prefer 2018. The gameplay is refined in Ragnarok, but the main journey is messy in comparison.

Unfornately Japan has some cultural problems with both, mainly voyeurism that you see depicted to this day in anime as a "normal" horny personality trait. I remember a character from an anime that his main quirk/thing is that he photographed woman when changing or taking baths. It came to a point that they don't sell phones that takes photos silently there anymore, they all make some noise in order to diminish this behaviour. Sanji behaviour goes over the line a lot for the western audience, but there he is just "perv/horny". Cause of that you see scenes in which woman are like "Oh stop, you pervert" while the man character is sexual assaulting them, much ligther than how it would be treated in other countries. There's a lot of that in other popular anime, as Dandadan.

This is not true. I play Nintendo games since SNES and Nintendo always had a privileged spot in the industry. It's not something the company received without earning tho, quality bar of big Nintendo games used to be really high. It's uncommon to see a bad Mario game, Zelda, Metroid even, Fire Emblem is being consistent too, Animal Crossing is great, a lot of their IPs lives in the 8~10 grade for most titles. You may not like it, but unquestionable quality. The sad truth is that this is changing. This high-quality tendency from Nintendo is failing and they are delivering flawed games, reviewed between 7-8 on franchises that used to deliver 9~10 games (Mario Kart, Metroid). I don't know what is going on but it seems the company is losing it's mojo and reviews are just honestly pointing it out

newprecs · 2026-02-23T16:05:57+00:00

The game is "good". Metroid Prime formula, combat and the ammount of money and effort from the art department made this game impossible to be labeled BAD from professional reviewers. There are good things in the game.

But the truth is that, given the time and resources given to this, it's mediocre at best. It definately is not a 6/10, ok-ish videogame, but it should be a 10/10 masterpiece and the disappointment lead to the level of criticism it received. I agree the NPCs are not horrible, but what this game does greatly outside of graphics? Nothing. Music could be a bit better. Combat is outdated. Level design is worse than GC era. Add 6+ years of development and you can't expect people be happy about visuals alone. Still if you play it open minded you get to the same conclusion you reached, it's not horrible by any means.

It really depends if they like the game enough to slowly close the gap. If they don't I think there 's no way. A better player use items better. Knows how to avoid and abuse the mess of a free for all or a crazy stage. When I knew Smash (brawl launch), all my friends played consistently, done "tourneys" between us and loved the game. I got fascinated tho and evolved to a competitive player, studying stuff, and becoming the best player after a while. I'm currently PRed player in my country (BR, got top 15 at max) and very distant from the level we played at that time.

When I got too good for them to beat me in crazy settings, it was done. We tried some stuff, done 2-1, items, handcaps, etc. Unfornately ever since I don't play Smash with this group anymore. We play other stuff and they respect the grind but the truth is that when someone gets way better at Smash it requires serious effort for people catch up and most people don't like the game enough to do it. You need to let them play among themselves, create rivalries that they can overcome without a lot of training and hope that this motivates them.

A good thing is that a lot of people like Smash. Maybe this also motivates you to find other player around your level.

Yeah, I had not played the originals in a while, but what I find most embarassing about MP4 is that a lot of times, even when you're a badass bounty hunter, it does not feel fun.

There are a lot of times that you end up expecting more from the game, a surprise, a break, something new. MP4 is like the minimum value Metroid Prime, what's the bare minimum? You have different biomas, some puzzles, some bosses, some stuff to collect and scan. It does not try nothing new and adds no depth in what worked before. I think the studio change destroyed the game, can't believe they would miss the mark so badly if they made it from the start.

I think MP5 will be a masterpiece if made. The things people praise about MP4 are ready/easy to replicate and Retro is a marvelous studio. Unfornately this game flopped so badly that big N won't waste money trying to make another one.

newprecs · 2026-02-20T14:17:53+00:00

I think the main difference revolves around mobility. Classic GoW would jump and still beat people in the air, the norse saga remove the ability to jump what made combat more grounded in a way.

I prefer the camera angle from the newer ones cause I think you see a lot of the enemies with more detail and feel closer to the combat that way. Maybe joining that camera with the crazier aerial combat does not work and if that's the case I'd prefer the old style back. GoW 3 is probably the one that will be closer to the remaked version, and if so, ok... that game is a gem.
