@kyledshade This is what a true villain is supposed to be.

[Guy @Invinium]

@Stan19Stan I've been praising phantom blade and criticizing as my own thoughts, I literally praised it by saying it could win game of the year. If you choose to hear what fits your narrative that's on you.

[Guy @Invinium]

Phantom Blade story telling is nowhere near as good as fromsofts. In fact, I’d argue the way its story is conveyed speaks to how terribly fromsoft story telling can go if you can’t trust your audience.

[Guy @Invinium]

@Stan19Stan What? 😭 The Battle of Aeonia, GEQ theories, and the DLC vow are still debated today. Beyond Vaati, SmoughTown, Miss Chalice, and Tarnished Archaeologist pulled views. Even TikTok accounts like Grand Welf kept heavy discussion years after Elden Ring's release.

[Guy @Invinium]

@Stan19Stan Do you know what objectively means? I don't think you do.

[Guy @Invinium]

@Stan19Stan Since the game has come out have any memorable lines sprouted, any praised voice deliveries, anything that's repeated in the minds of people or is discussed? No, because none of was delivered in a way that was memorable. Compare this to Elden Ring discussions, it's night and day.

[Guy @Invinium]

@Stan19Stan See how you keep dismissing the analogy without addressing it? Different mediums don't invalidate its point, delivery alone doesn't determine quality. PB0's excessive exposition and hamfisted dialogue aren't made better simply because they're voiced.

[Guy @Invinium]

@Xuran13 + Insane disrespect to Armored Core VI as well that's one of their best stories to date lmao.

@Jamesthesayian You dumb fuck both the way the lore is conveyed and the story is told fall under the umbrella of story telling, and both are poorly conveyed which is what I talked about in the the thread.

[Guy @Invinium]

@Stan19Stan It makes perfect sense, because the idea that an audio automatically makes something better is dumb. Keep in mind you haven't explained why it is dishonest as well, now don't sideline this into deltarune or whatever cause it won't stop you from being wrong.

[Guy @Invinium]

@Stan19Stan It's a simple analogy that you won't address because you know it breaks your logic apart. But I'll spell it out either way, just because one uses an audio cue, it doesn't automatically make it better.

[Guy @Invinium]

@Stan19Stan Do you think listening to an audiobook of harry potter is better then reading a song of ice and fire?

[Guy @Invinium]

@M11122233344454 fuck them both actually

[Guy @Invinium]

My tolerance of obnoxious and corny Dark Souls 2 fans dwindles more with each passing day.

[Guy @Invinium]

@PSVegeta To make it clear, this is me talking about the translation of it, which fromsoft deliberately makes sure is approved well.

[Guy @Invinium]

A writing quirk I love is how Genichiro refers to Ashina with feminine pronouns, speaking of her as though she's an actual person. An intimate, almost maternal dynamic that's distinctive to his character.

Almost as if she's a stand-in for the mother he lost.

[Guy @Invinium]

What makes Genichiro fascinating is how you can interpret his obsession with saving Ashina as a projection of his insecurities. He ties his self-worth to its survival, convincing himself he's serving a greater good when he's really battling his childhood trauma.

[Guy @Invinium]

@PSVegeta From what ik, Japanese doesn't use gender references to describe a homeland, so the choice to have him speak of Ashina this way seems deliberate. Tho some other characters use feminine pronouns too, none speak of Ashina as though she's a living being quite like Genichiro does.

[Guy @Invinium]

I'm aware that other characters also use feminine pronouns for Ashina (though most use neutral ones), but Genichiro is distinct in how he speaks of her. To him, she's almost a living, conscious being rather than merely a homeland.

[Guy @Invinium]

@Eikonic16 Of course brother.

[Guy @Invinium]

Got a hint today that it's about time I trimmed my beard when some kids (distant relatives) at a family gathering started pointing at me from far away just to come up and ask me a question about sunnah.

@vicerrs "Elden Ring is DS2 2" When an ugly bitch calls u twin

[Guy @Invinium]

@Jamesthesayian You dumb fuck both the way the lore is conveyed and the story is told fall under the umbrella of story telling, and both are poorly conveyed which is what I talked about in the the thread.

[Guy @Invinium]

@ShinobiLegend7 Sekiro and Armored Core VI wipe phantom blades story with their ass lmao

[Guy @Invinium]

@couldbearcade Imagine this but with wavey hair and a sharp beard/hair line up. I be in the bathroom using like 3 mirrors making my shit as straight as possible.
