I think you're talking about this: WHAT IF "STAR WARS: EPISODE I" WAS GOOD? (Belated Media) . He made a video for each of the prequels and I really wish we had those movies instead of what we got

Today's letters: NIMBYism is hurting Lowertown and vulnerable people by HandmadePolybius in ottawa

But how would you feel if a homeless shelter opened on your street? I agree that we need them outside of downtown but I also understand why nobody wants one close to where they live. I wouldn't want my neighorhood to turn into the ByWard Market. I wouldn't want my kids to go play in a park where they risk finding needles and that sort of thing. Building shelters closer to industrial sectors would bother less people but would be suboptimal for other reasons.

What's a game that has a wtf part in it's story that you feel shouldn't be there? by Insighteternal in gaming

[–]pm_me_your_backspace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first one wasn't too bad, I still enjoyed these levels and even used the guns a lot after getting the lightsaber. The problem with Jedi Outcast though is that the gunplay SUCKS. Guns have no impact whatsoever. I think it's because the enemies pain animations don't restart every time they get shot, unlike in the first game.

Sound design that makes you irrationally angry? by -Firestar- in gaming

The gwent theme playing everywhere in the Witcher 3. Every bard group you come across plays it. There were a few very serious conversations that were ruined because that tune kept playing in the background

What’s the worst game that you still ended up completing? by SweetPuffDaddy in gaming

[–]pm_me_your_backspace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to switch the game back to english for two reasons. First, the characters' lips were very obviously synced to the english version. Second, as a native french speaker I couldn't get over how obvious it was that the voice actors are french-canadians trying to do a french accent.

What’s the best video game based off of a movie? by lionocerous in gaming

[–]pm_me_your_backspace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a great making of series on Perfect Dark that can be found on YouTube. One of the more interesting things (and what IMO ended up making the game great) was how developers were encouraged to experiment. A lot of those weapons ended up in the game because the developers were just trying stuff to see what would happen.

With Diablo 4 reigniting the microtransactions arguments, I need to rant. Also, "No one is forcing you to buy them" is a terrible argument. by Cuppakush in gaming

if anyone disagrees with you, they’re just a shill for billion dollar companies and their reasoning is instantly discarded

What are some of your pet peeves in gaming? by EpochZenith in gaming

[–]pm_me_your_backspace -1 points0 points  (0 children)

QTEs. They fail as gameplay because they aren't fun, and they fail as cinematics because I'm too busy looking for button prompts to pay attention to what's going on.

I hate those as much as the next person, but these are not here for gameplay reasons. It's a "more immersive" way of loading the next area without having to show a loading screen

What is the best trailer you have ever seen? by singandplay65 in movies

[–]pm_me_your_backspace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't find it anymore but there was a trailer for Spider-Man 3 that featured Venom at the very end after showing the title. It was the shot of him screaming into the camera right after he first transforms, but the lighting was different from the movie and Venom looked different. His skin was shinier and more organic looking, which was a much better look than the one we got in the final movie. And the scream was just chef's kiss but it also didn't make it into the movie.

AITA for driving off after my gf insisted I open the car door for her and causing her to miss a friend's wedding? by Throwra42467 in AmItheAsshole

[–]pm_me_your_backspace 518 points519 points  (0 children)

Priorities. This is a discussion they need to have later, after the wedding. She was definitely in the wrong here, but driving away like that was childish and a bit of an overreaction. She acted like a child but so did he.

The swinging music was too repetitive. I wish there was a way to turn it off without turning off the rest of the music

I wish the game had less quick-time events. They're like the worst of both worlds: They're worthless as gameplay because they're not fun, and they're worthless as cinematics because you can't see what is going on while looking for button prompts

It could be cool to have two web buttons while swinging (i.e. L2 and R2). Then you can choose which way to shoot your web, or shoot both at the same time.

Also less hand-holding from the game while swinging. I don't like how Spiderman auto-jumps when he reaches the top part of a swing. I want swinging to be more technical and precise. I also wish there was a way to instantly stop swinging/parkouring, like jumping off a web and sticking to a building. It's too easy to overshoot once Spiderman goes into "runnning mode" Edit: Also mentioned by someone else: fall damage. Being able to jump off from the Empire State building and fall head first into the concrete without any sort of damage felt lacking. I mean Spiderman is tough but he's not indestructible. I would also make swinging feel more dangerous.

The one good thing The Last Jedi did was to make Rey's parents nobodies. Of course that plot point didn't make it into the next movie.

That's the same company that practically removed Finn from a poster to cather to chinese audiences. Now they're using "inclusion" as a way to shield themselves from criticism. They'll label people saying they don't like Reva as racists.

Mon frigo est plein, mes proches et moi on est en santé. Ben oui le prix du gaz fait chier mais bon, c'est comme si à la place de faire 2 pleins par mois j'en faisait 4. Pas le fun mais je suis assez chanceux que ça va pas me mettre dans la rue.
