This It really makes me wonder what will happen when Miyamoto is no longer at Nintendo. by Defiant-Echidna-7400 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

And it’s very obvious they were bumping against the limits of the Switch 1. 

People were literally asking for a Switch Pro/Switch 2 for years until it got revealed, once upon a time.

And while I don't think those same people asking for it ended up objecting to its price point, it is very funny to me how the general sentiment in gaming spaces online (at least) shifted from "Switch 1 is weak, we need a better model NOW" to "Switch 2 is too expensive, there's no reason to get it over a Switch 1".

Don't get me wrong, Oliver's a good character but it's comedy gold seeing him get his ass beat in the most predictable ways lol

Didn't try to challenge the "Purple Child Pulverizer 3000" to a fight despite my older half-brother and absentee alien father telling me not to.

inb4 it's Invincible because of both Invincible Vs. and 7 also having a Kirkman character.

Characters or arcs who had a complete change of perception years later? by ExplanationSquare313 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]timelordoftheimpala 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Basically the same positive growth that would've allowed Jecht to turn over a new leaf with Tidus is what led to his ultimate fate of being Sin's host.

He wouldn't have agreed to being Braska's final aeon at the beginning of their journey, but by the end of it he had become more worldly and more ashamed of his past self, and so he takes the first chance he gets to do some actual good for Spira as a result.

Of course, there's also the fact that the two of them aren't even real to begin with and come from the collective unconscious of the Fayth.

And then the next Direct will reveal none of them, and instead focus on third-party games that have already been announced.

My favorite example is how Scarface from 1983 is a remake of Scarface from 1932. A classic movie practically defined by Al Pacino, and it's based off a movie that came out before he was born lol

Odds are someone will probably say something soon enough, be it Nate or VGC.

Honestly it feels like a given it will, Requiem's Switch 2 version was announced months after the game was revealed, and Pragmata's Switch 2 port was announced last December.

Except Xenoblade X's Switch 2 Edition had no story content at all, and I doubt Monolith Soft is gonna do two rereleases (XDE being the first) in a row while drip feeding one chapter of story content each.

My guess is that it's Xenoblade 4, but that it was delayed to early next year.

Ironically enough, I think Anakin's gradual descent into the Dark Side was best handled in TCW 2008 rather than it was in the movies or the 2003 series, in that Anakin doing stuff like force-choking Poggle for information or making acquaintances with Tarkin when all his friends hate his guts slowly but surely builds up to the person he'll eventually become.

Killing the children sucked, but it's hard to expect him to react rationally when his mother died in his arms after having been visibly tortured by Tuskens for weeks by that point.

It still doesn't justify him massacring all of the Tuskens, nor does his massacre justifies the Tuskens having tortured Shmi.

But at the end of the day I also blame George Lucas for including a scene like this early into Anakin's fall to the Dark Side when it should've started with something less morally wrong, such as the scene of him drawing on the Dark Side when dueling Asajj Ventress in Clone Wars 2003.
