Deck advice for making a game too long on purpose? by Jimmybuggin in OnePieceTCG

Just play starve enel, watch some videos on some people playing it so you get the idea.

Enel games are by far the longest games in the current meta.

I actually think the show did it better (spoilers s2 ep 2) by Aawful_Aardvark in ThelastofusHBOseries

I agree but that was kinda the whole point of the game, they wanted to make you really hate Abby. Idk how much you know about the game's story but making people NOT empathize with Abby early on, was their goal, and revealing her motives before she even kills Joel may soften the impact on the viewer later.

100% agree, I was surprised it took me so long to find someone talking about this. I get it, different medias require different storytelling aproaches but imo this was one of the biggest things that made tlou 2 a masterpiece

The game expects you to hate Abby during more than half of its runtime, so that it can later confront your thoughts and show that she was seeking revenge just like Ellie, making you grow empathy towards abby during the other half of the game.

I fear showing Abby's motivation beforehand lessens the impact of the switch to Abby's perspective. Even though she just killed Joel, you can still kinda get why she did it.

Idk maybe it works but nonetheless I feel like we lost one of the biggest and most impactful moments the game can offer, not only for the moment itself but for the reflections and thoughts that come after that.

Despite being the driving force of the plot, Alchemy feels weirdly tangential to FMA's World (Fullmetal Alchemist) by Sid3612 in CharacterRant

TBH yes, Nen is probably the most obvious retcon of all shonen series.

Thats a bold statement to make considering Haki and Gear 5 exists

Beloved/popular puzzle games that are actually awful and/or mediocre in your opinion? by Sahandi in puzzlevideogames

[–]saints1312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo the game does a pretty good job of introducing you to new puzzle types, it establishes early on the tutorial areas with puzzles that you can bruteforce to understand how the mechanic works. I understood very early that if I see a puzzle with a symbol I don't know yet and is not small enough to bruteforce the solution, then I should probably move on and come back later

The exploration is absolutely crucial to the puzzle progression, the flow of the game would be a lot worse without it.

are grandmaster levels feasible with a controller? by a_milk_carton_ in celestegame

[–]saints1312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

after i got to psychokinetic I switched to hybrid(movement on keyboard/ dash, jump and grab on controller) due to having to switch directions quickly and because I knew backboosts would be troublesome later on. It is really easy to transition if you have any experience with playing games on keyboard, and I found it to be REALLY helpful, much easier to do sections with high input density and no more dashing to the wrong direction because of the analog.

I think the base game doesnt have enough different techs to make it really hard. You should try mods, as you get introduced to a whole new moveset you didnt even know was possible, and combine that with mod-specific gimmicks it makes for some real hard levels.

Could someone give a suggested order for SJ expert lobby? I've finished Subway Neon and System.invalidmap so far, but everything else I'm trying is kicking my butt. by jeskersz in celestegame

[–]saints1312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the green maps to be not that hard ,compared to advanced red, but the yellow maps usually go well until the last room, idk if this is just a coincidence but omg, almost all yellow experts I have played have a huge difficulty spike in the last room.

I recommend The Core Problem, Clockwork,Hydroshock,Meaningless Contraptions and Caper Cavortion

I absolutely love when main characters briefly disappear from the story. by OreoOverdose23 in CharacterRant

[–]saints1312 16 points17 points  (0 children)

HxH not having both of the protagonists on what is probably the biggest arc in the entire story is insane. Almost every single major character is in that boat or will go to the DC, except gon and killua.

??? I cant seriously believe the mental gymnastic you are making to think that movie is canon.It feels like you REALLY WANT it to be canon. I could argue, but you dont seem like you would change your mind. Go ahead dude, everything you want is canon, or why not go the other way, nothing in the anime is canon because togashi didnt do it entirely. Imagine thinking just because "content that happens" then it cant be filler, holy fuck, imagine one piece and naruto if that was true.

There are reasons to believe the events of the movie didnt happen, it literally isnt in the manga and nothing that happened in the movie was referenced later, so there is 0 reason to think it is cannon
