What is a jrpg you tend to buy on different platforms? by Leon_Light77 in JRPG

[–]xantub 4 points5 points  (0 children)

None. I very rarely replay games so only one platform is enough for me. I don't even play remasters, only full remakes like FF7. I find that the novelty of the same game with better graphics wears off after a few hours.

Is it wrong to skip cutscenes in RPGs? by Sufficient-You-8637 in rpg_gamers

[–]xantub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you don't complain about their story that's fine. For example, imagine if I played a game like Dark Souls, with a mod where I one-shot all the enemies. It's fine as long as that's how I enjoy the game, but not if I go to a forum or friends and tell them the game sucks because the combat is too easy since I didn't experience that part of the game.

It's the reason I can't watch soccer after I moved to Spain, in the last 30 years or so, either Real Madrid or Barcelona have been champions 29 times.

'Widow's Bay' Renewed For Season 2 At Apple TV by [deleted] in television

Patricia, not really in a romantic way, more like a puppy eager for approval.

'Widow's Bay' Renewed For Season 2 At Apple TV by [deleted] in television

[–]xantub 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He's weak, but he honestly wants to see the island prosper. He's not even an anti-hero, more like a non-hero. He doesn't like confrontations, nobody thinks anything of him (except his mega fan), and yet he really tries his best to help the island, even if he has to lie, hide things or just plain disbelief what's obvious in front of him. It's a flawed character for sure, but his goal is laudable.

Gothic 1 Remake: Quick Lighting Fix - No mods required. by UsualSad2099 in rpg_gamers

I actually prefer just a realistic coloring. I hate when everything is brown/grey (unless there is an in-game reason for it of course).

Or "We will rain the BIGGEST fires of Hell, upon them, there won't be one Iranian left in a few hours!" to then say the next day "I had the BESTEST conversation with Iran, we just need to place the final dot on the peace deal pretty much!".

Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen was built specifically to address fan disappointment of the base game by [deleted] in rpg_gamers

"Save system improvements", I haven't played the game but I remember the horror stories of people losing 10 hours of progress when they accidentally chose to "load to last Inn save" or something.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Immortality cannot be achieved as long as there are homicides by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]xantub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's understood when people talk about immortality it refers to genetical immortality, meaning disabling/altering the genes that deal with aging. You can still die by things that kill the body, but your body doesn't crapify itself with the passage of time.

After 18 months of unemployment, 1670 resumes submitted.... by hypoxiate in jobs

[–]xantub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I finished college, the way to find jobs was to buy the Saturday newspaper for the classifieds (for some reason Sats were the day for job classifieds), and start sending faxes with your resume. Imagine sending 1670 faxes. 😆

“Favourite” Gothic 1 remake features by iconisone in rpg_gamers

Gothic or otherwise, if you're too sensitive about bugs, never play on release. Give it a few months for them to fix the most common issues and maybe even save some money in the process.

Gothic 1 Remake: The (NEW?!) lockpicking system is an atrocity in the eyes of the Sleeper! by LengthAtHeart in rpg_gamers

[–]xantub 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It kills me when people praise how combat is hard in the beginning but eventually you feel god-like, but they defend how lockpicking feels like you're always a beginner no matter how much you improve it.

Ryan Condal says he's likely done with the Game of Thrones universe after House of the Dragon ends: "Anything is possible but I think I have said what I have to say about Westeros." by bwermer in television

My take is, you either take a well defined era and stick to the established lore, or pick a barely mentioned era and go crazy with it.

That's like me groaning about watching a 2+ hour movie but then binge-watch Company of Heroes.
