“I studied Santeria, and certain other things that squares like you would call The Black Arts, due to a lack of understanding, from Chano Pozo in New Orleans”
@haruspis ME1 had a big skill tree and customisation but the actual combat sandbox to play in was bland and boring, so it all felt very superficial.
To each their own but some players will look at numbers on a spreadsheet, and flat lore dump conversations, and think “this is deep”
@KeepOnRotting69 I think these 4 are a no brainer but it’s tough to leave out Obituary and Suffocation.
But I’d say in terms of influence it’s those guys for sure.
@KatIsADreamer Definitely some critics back in the day - they really just wanted the typical Zelda formula over and over, which I think is a little ironic as the games got incredibly linear and they always mix it up with each title anyway
@highlumencount@jxudo@Bynx_Plays RE1 remake has had some of these people out there too, claiming it kills the soul of the original because the art direction is different
@ConsolePit@Bynx_Plays Lots of the positive reviews have had criticisms about challenge and sanding the edges off.
The misery merchants have said “this animation is different - enjoy your soulless remakeslop you mindless corporate dickriding cattle”
I need to know what 30 year old white guy made up the rumor Iron Man was a C-list Marvel hero before MCU despite the fact he’s a founding member of the Avengers and was in like almost every pre-MCU project under the sun
@glitterdohnut@_Zeets I…idk what to say man. Iron Man is a long running Marvel hero but he was never ever as popular as Spiderman, Hulk, Fantastic Four, X-Men and other flagship characters. Guessing you got into Marvel via the MCU?
@mypalfootfoot7 American and British Indie just feel like two entirely separate worlds. I see it with the millennial/indie sleaze nostalgia posts that talk about electro pop and stomp clap folk instead of that more angular guitar sound
@glitterdohnut@_Zeets War Machine was more popular than Iron Man in the 90s. Avengers came about because they had a bunch of solo characters that weren’t selling books, so they teamed them up!
@_Zeets They started with Iron Man because that’s basically what they had. Sony and Fox had the rights to Spider-Man, X-Men and Fantastic 4. They had Hulk but that was wrapped up in weird stuff with Universal.
DC had the whole slate of characters at their disposal
