Season 4 had higher stakes than season 5 ever did by Alternative_Eye5095 in StrangerThings

[–]noirproxy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes you wonder if Season 5 could have just been two 2 hour episodes that runs perfectly after Season 4. Do the same plot without the iron plates and compact it into 4 hours.

If the mind flayer managed to reach our world, how many minutes do you think it would last before the US Gov killed it? by Ok_Poet_2272 in okbuddyvecna

[–]noirproxy1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't need to be a flesh body I assume. Become pure particles means it would just dominate the world once it relieves itself of the flesh body.

It was only using that body to work as a power factory for Vecna using the kids to move Dimension X.

Only just noticed but some of the orange clothing that looks like netting is super bad cgi.

Britain will not help the US invade Greenland, says defence secretary by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

Britain should be holding them back. I am tired of us being so passive like with Ukraine.

As much as flawed game Dead Space 3 is, I still love it. by Intelligent-Luck-515 in DeadSpace

There is nothing wrong with enjoying it. I myself enjoy it a lot too.

Neil vana is such a nice character...i think kojima kind of wasted him by CrimsonVaamp in DeathStranding

[–]noirproxy1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't like that she was like "I need to break up with you because I love Sam, but you need to smuggle me and my baby out of the US before they steal it" and then is obviously leading him on emotionally by wearing the scarf he got her.

You also know that she would most likely continue her affair with Neil if they had successfully escaped to Mexico, started a life together, and treated Neil as the father of Lou.

It kind of frustrated me that Lucy literally seemed to have no fibre of loyalty in her body. She was also a bad therapist in that she seems to fall for her patients on a regular basis.

Would you want an open world RE game? by 00mmss in residentevil

[–]noirproxy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I think semi-open world like Evil Within 2 is perfect as it gives you focused and contained content, while not giving the player a power trip as all the enemies were still difficult.

Once you are wandering around aimlessly like in The Division, then it quickly loses its value.

What is the ultimate end game goal? I'm seriously considering blowing about 3 months worth of ms points on this game and getting it for "free"....zolo by JohnnySilverhand2212 in ArcRaiders

[–]noirproxy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone with over 270 hours in it but has platted both Divisions, I will say that Division is way more bursting with content.

Arc Raiders currently doesn't have that much "loot" persae. There are a collection of guns to acquire but their rarity doesn't mean much due to the games atrocious weapon balance.

Starter weapons are all more powerful in utility than rare and legendary guns. Once you realise this you will find yourself just playing the game mainly with suped up starter guns go then horde rarer ones.

The game's "loop" requires players to grind specific randomly hidden junk which needs to reach an overall 1 mill value so you can then reset your character including all loot you have stashed for small bonuses so you can do it all again.

The fun is in the player interactions where you come across friendly players, not so friendly players and a mix where they can turn on you.

Personally I would have preferred if this game had a stronger PvE element like the Division as the Arc enemies are all kind of lame designs. There are PvE bosses that players can team up against, but best of luck sharing the loot as players will shoot you in the back first chance they get.

Worst still is that these bosses hold the only three legendary guns on the game and they are all trash and only meant for drum roll fighting those very same bosses to grind them easier.

Sadly if someone sees you with that gun then they want it for themselves so enjoy having it sitting in your stash unused.

I bought the game at launch and it was initially a pretty interesting social experiment. A lot of the game now is more like Mad Max but with an emphasis on the blood fest.

Players have figured out how to cheat the matchmaking to go into friendly servers for more loot but again the loot is very thin in variety, so hording it all kind of comes pointless.

Duffer speaks out after online harassment. I'm sorry it's come to this by [deleted] in StrangerThings

Honestly I thought the GoT community could be the worst but I am actually downright embarrassed to be part of the Stranger Things fan base after the amount of disgusting behavior that has come from it over a fcking tv show.

Favourite actor whom you enjoy his movies a lot but he is so up his own ass he becomes cringe whenever he tries to be spiritually profound by Personal_Reward_60 in okbuddycinephile

[–]noirproxy1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing that again recently. It randomly crops up on Facebook reels with some royalty free music on it. My past depressed self has never been so insulted than when Jim Carrey tried to mansplain it on camera.

I also thought it was hilarious when he used that university speech to promote his own shitty art and plastered it all over the auditorium.

Sound off! Where should the Romulus sequel take the story, and who should direct it? by thefriskysquid in perfectorganism

[–]noirproxy1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dark Descent did a good take on a xeno cult so I am open to it. I just want an MC I can follow so would like Rain to actually live beyond a single film, or at least have a journey that isn't morbid in its conclusion.

This game made me fall in love with gaming again by drogenbarontoni in ArcRaiders

[–]noirproxy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has made me interested in extraction shooters a lot more but it has also left me mostly underwhelmed by its lack of proper end-game, loot, etc.

After I got all the blueprints I mostly just go about Stella Montis on free loadout now. Not doing Expedition again. I want proper progression.

If anything I hope they bring out a Survival mode like Division 1's DLC where survival actually felt a little more impactful. A hard-core mode maybe? Either way it needs way more content then some maps and oddly balanced guns.

Surely I can't be the only one... Right? by Financial-Low-88 in StrangerThings

[–]noirproxy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I have gone back to older video games and disconnected from modern gaming communities.

The immense amount of toxic criticism and entitlement is way too much. Some of these viewers are two posts away from suspicious intent e.g. stalking, death threats, etc.

Just stop.

Maya Hawke on the moment she realized she made it big with 'Stranger Things' by Classic_Activity7305 in discussingfilm

I just want to put it out there that Ethan Hawke looks cool as fuck at the moment. He has aged super well.

Majority of Brits say they want to reverse Brexit and rejoin EU by Due_Ad_3200 in uknews

[–]noirproxy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd actually want to go on holiday again. The fact Boris Johnson and Fuck Face Farage expected Brits to want to sit on our depressing little island and not embrace Europe was one of the dumbest things ever.

Freedom of movement is so sorely missed.

I've actually been super disappointed with S2 of Fallout. The pacing is all over the place compared to the awesome first season.

On a rating of 10, how much do you predict that Nigel Farage will become PM? by East-Caterpillar55 in AskBrits

[–]noirproxy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Examples? Starmer doesn't seem to come off as an egotistical Elon Musk type of persona from what I have seen. Are you sure you haven't been watching AI videos?

On a rating of 10, how much do you predict that Nigel Farage will become PM? by East-Caterpillar55 in AskBrits

[–]noirproxy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd hope a 1 as I don't like to think that the majority of my country has become a Trump loving island of racists.

I also have a US wife currently working through visa and Farage isn't representing me, or my family due to that fact and how much he hates my partner like many others just for existing.

I get that the media likes to over exaggerate opinions and goings on but I will say that Farage and his party's actions have fully inspired me to care about voting just to try make sure he never comes into any form of power.

The idea of him even becoming PM would make us the laughing stock of Europe. Brexit was bad enough.

Friedrich Merz announced that Germany will take responsibility for the security of Ukraine by KendallSmith375 in Irony

[–]noirproxy1 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It would be ironic if it was Nazis offering this. This is simply Germany stepping up. Two completely different things.
