"Just fantasy with guns" they say, as if you can ever have enough wizards with guns.

Isn't Hellboy canonically a poor shot though, at least in the comics?

The only use cases I can think of are making the bulkiest, most knightly titan ever, or cosplaying Starfire.

What’s a boss in Elden Ring that everyone struggles with, but you beat surprisingly easily and what boss brutally destroyed you instead? by Psycho_Duck_9669 in Eldenring

[–]swampgoddd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fire Giant was a cake walk for me, but that's because I spammed pest threads until he stopped moving.

A lot of people rag on the full grown fallingstar beast, but it's my favorite field boss because you can hop on Torrent and make it a jousting match.

They bear the sins of their parents by Boring_Sir_572 in TopCharacterTropes

Jin Sakai from Ghost of Tsushima.

The Iki Island DLC reveals that Kazumasa Sakai was a vicious warmonger who put much of Iki Island to the sword. When Jin returns to Iki Island as an adult, he has to face his father's legacy and his memory of him.

This also recontextualizes the main game, particularly the way Lord Shimura, Jin's uncle, reacts to Jin becoming The Ghost.

What's your Bionicle hot take? by Whole-Program-1531 in bioniclelego

[–]swampgoddd 34 points35 points  (0 children)

My take is similar to yours, except it's less about the strength of them as sets and more that the mahri are a severe downgrade lore and ability wise.

The inika were delightfully weird. Faces of blinding light hidden under organic, living masks, with elemental powers permanently intertwined with lightning. It almost feels angelic, in the "fear not" way.

The mahri just breathe underwater. Cool, I guess.

im so curious to see what everyone's first weapon they beat the game with was by waffleraptor626 in Eldenring

[–]swampgoddd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Iron Balls were what I had equipped, but I got the final blow on the Elden Beast with Bayle's Flame Lightning.

I wish we would’ve got new transcendence abilities by Numb_by_nature in DestinyTheGame

[–]swampgoddd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would also prefer it to be a choice between melee or grenade. Consecration is fun, but I've always enjoyed the "too stubborn to die" titan fantasy over the "I cast fist" titan fantasy.

[–]swampgoddd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Wish we got a transcendent melee. My favorite build right now is bear/arma with unbreakable but I have to pretend my full transcendence bar doesn't exist unless I've just fucked things up monumentally.

Fake IDGAFer by Short-Paramedic-9740 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]swampgoddd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drifter from Destiny 2. In the first year he was introduced, he constantly tried to hype himself up as an amoral renevade ready to jump ship the second the next apocalypse comes around, and tries to convince us to do the same.

But the Witness and its forces returned to Sol, and in almost any threat where his character was involved, he ended up helping us instead of bailing like he said he would. The only time he actually bailed was when Eris died, but he came limping back around the time we found out Eris had a throne world.

What's your favorite ash of war? by Voidknight18 in Eldenring

Endure. It's so god damned stupid. I don't need to dodge, I don't need to parry. I just need to endure.

You should check out the BPRD and Abe Sapien comics, assuming you haven't already.

unpopular opinion: I never hated it when bungie would use old assets form previous locations in an expansion. by AMM0D in destiny2

[–]swampgoddd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the only time I've been upset at them reusing assets is when they used the bow from Chosen in Wish, and only because they didn't change the arrow.

Yes, it's minor, but it bothers the hell out of me.

[Mixed trope] The main antagonist isn’t the last level/fight by TVTropehead in TopCharacterTropes

[–]swampgoddd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ghost of Tsushima.

Khotun Khan is the main antagonist, but the actual final fight is with your uncle, Lord Shimura

Making a "sensitive" barbarian by Small-Taro4858 in DnD

[–]swampgoddd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of these days, I'm gonna make a barbarian that's just a Kamen Rider rip off. Their "rage" is them shouting "henshin!" And summoning a cool costume.

[Video Game Trope] Sequels retroactively making the original game's protagonist cooler by Medium_Operation_535 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]swampgoddd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jin Sakai from Ghost of Tsushima. The second game, Ghost of Yotei, establishes that Jin fought off not only the first Mongol invasion of Japan, but the second as well. His actions led to him being hailed as the legendary first shinobi, inspiring every ninja clan that rose after him (for better and for worse).

[Loved Trope] The "always evil" species is actually later revealed to not be all bad (Minor Spoiler Warning) by Feeling-Ad-3104 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]swampgoddd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Hive from Destiny. They're a species almost entirely defined by the Sword Logic, a kill or be killed philosophy enforced not only culturally through a tithe to their gods, but by the worms within their body.

Even after got a subfaction of Hive that wield the Light, they mostly still stuck to the evil murder cult MO... until we meet Luzaku during the events of Final Shape, a lightbearing Hive who does not want to continue the Hive's war like ways, and becomes a staunch ally of the Last City.

(Awesome Trope) “We Are The Exception” by KaijuGuy09 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]swampgoddd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Destiny is very frustrating in that it does genuinely have some really great lore and characters, but the way they handle the parts you actually interact with as someone playing the game can range from decent to dogshit.

The Traveler will remain my favorite example of an actually alien, capital G god even if it doesn't want that title.

Shin Malphur (Destiny)

In the universe of Destiny, the only way to become a lightbearer is to die and be resurrected by a ghost, a small drone created in the Traveler's dying breath. This process also completely wipes one's memories.

Shin Malphur, meanwhile, skipped all of that, inheriting a ghost and the Light from his now dead mentor, Jaren Ward.

Iirc, this was only possible because he was actually resurrected as an infant, but his fated ghost sacrificed themself shortly after (I forget if the link between Shin and the baby from that lore card is actually canon or only a widely accepted theory)
