@MizzixMizzixera@LudicrusCulture@PurpleP64@RowbyYT It’s not creepy or eerie but it does carry an abrasive and confrontational tone not applied to the actual game at all. Especially in the sound design using a minimalist synth tone as the backdrop to the sound of breaking glass and radio distortion
@Hydralisk__ Is it fucked up for me to personally prefer a potential ice age developing rather than the heat building which I assumed would be happening? Both castrophic for humanity but I deal much better with the cold and immediately shut down if it goes above 30c
@Roquerubio317 i be gooning im ngl but even to me 99% of mainstream frontpage, industry backed porn is completely vile. always so aggressive and exaggerated with zero aesthetic sense, playing to dangerous stereotypes and expectations
@ringotainaka I need my shit as on-model as humanly possible, I’m here for the character and how they are authentically, not someone’s distorted idea of a “sexier” version
@tippity I’d agree there’s some massive high points and some of his best compositions and production, there’s just too much filler imo, cut that to a solid 12 tracks it could be up there
@NintendoFanGirl I’d understand not including either mmo but having 14 and not 11 feels a bit odd. 11 has just as much if not more narrative value than 14 in certain respects if that was the concern, obvs if it’s just too jank/weird that’s fine but if narrative was a concern 11 has great stuff
@thegreatdane269 Yeah this is the problem when you view games as a toy and not an art form for self expression. And if you’re gonna tell me you have zero interest in art or self expression you’re unsouled and will not escape samsara
@TobuFox Ngl my biggest beef with III is that they build up this sincere and reverent atmosphere with the pre title screen intro with the orchestral version of don’t think twice, then they completely fuck up the vibe with face my fears slamming you in the face with dubstep basslines
@NightSkyKing_ My copium is that Nomura is possibly planning to revisit / reimagine versus XIII with Verum Rex / Yozora in the kingdom hearts continuity. The secret ending of re-mind and a few lines certainly hint towards that
@totaltarnished Actually dawg I’m gonna need you to start off with Armored Core Last Raven, the first game myazaki worked on then his directorial debut Armored Core 4 and it’s direct sequel For Answer, joke aside start with DS1 then 2 then 3 it’s simple
@16th6toothSon@MetalGearTakes Just finished it a few days ago and hard agree. I can see what kojima was maybe trying to go for but it’s handled so clumsily and without any subtlety or sensitivity
@moonmin_03@sleightknight Dude I adore everything about this game from the atmosphere to the mechanics literally everything. But the main thing that stops me getting *completely* hooked is like a solid 45% of game time being wiki simulator
@PunchDaMuffin@inkblotPrincess Then surely that points to the fact that a fully open world doesn’t work and is a detriment to the gameplay loop they have cultivated?
@__Niko__04 the moment Big Boss meets Kaz is lost to a Japanese only drama CD called Peace and Kazuhira Blues so they do this a lot. Recommend giving it a listen too if you haven’t
@KaiKai2492 You’re both wrong this is insane, his lust for power comes from the fact he believed his mother didn’t try to save him in the first place, to never need to rely on anyone else because he thought his mother abandoned him and only saved Dante
