| Topic | Is baseball really that athletic of a sport? |
| GeneralKenobi85 06/17/19 5:28:46 PM #8 | Babe Ruth was also in pretty good shape during the peak of his career. It's just a lot of his image comes from photos taken near the end of his career. But yeah, watch any good defensive plays in the infield or outfield and you'll realize baseball absolutely does require a high level of athleticism. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

We're just never exposed to the shitty side of entertaining people for a living. I know a lot of the RT people have been vocal about how much they love their jobs, and I don't doubt it.

| GeneralKenobi85 06/16/19 10:02:14 AM #9 | dr_marble posted... GeneralKenobi85 posted...Pokmon is awful and it always has been. Probably the worst thing about it is the removal of good features with each installment. https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/6qjy0f/essay_the_features_removed_over_the_pokemon/ This is from two years ago, but still relevant. The two most egregious ones are probably the removal of the Battle Frontier/postgame and the removal of difficulty levels. And now with Sword and Shield you of course have the removal of Mega Evolution and Z-Moves, along with the total absence of hundreds of Pokemon. Stagnation is another issue with Pokemon in my opinion. It's just the same tired formula over and over again. They actually did try to shake things up a little with Sun and Moon, but with those games came the other major issue I have with Pokemon. That would be just plain nonsensical decisions. In Sun and Moon they purposely made the newer Pokemon harder to obtain. Look at Vikavolt as an example. You can capture its base form early in the game, and then evolve it at Level 20. Then you have to wait till almost the end of the game to evolve it to its final form because it requires being in a specific place. And that place happens to be all the way at the end of the game. Oh and they gave it a ridiculously low base Speed for no particular reason. They did this with a lot of the Gen 7 Pokemon. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

WiggumFan267 posted... improving their offense and they can still improve their pitching There are a number of Yankee fans who would disagree with you here. A lot of them seem to think Hal Steinbrenner is Wilpon levels of cheap. Not going after Keuchel is definitely suspect, but Cashman makes far more good moves than bad moves, so I'm not going to blame ownership too much. Also, Mets barely eked out a win there. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

| GeneralKenobi85 06/14/19 8:19:58 PM #24 | IHeartRadiation posted... Yeah, def want to get a try. The most I'm hoping for is an option in the later game to go and brutally exterminate the last pathetic vestiges of Hornet's worthless bloodline and put an end to their despicable people with Hornet accepting that she is a worthless bastard and she holds no value except provide minor services and to be the whetstone for the blades of her betters.

Of course this was a boss many considered to be one of the easiest in the game. I had quite a bit of trouble with it though.

The got right into the action and the fight scene was amazing all around. The lore behind the monsters were all good too. About damn time we got a good modernized Godzilla. Nah the human stuff in the 2014 one was completely uninteresting. I'm not saying it was particularly well-written in this one either, but it was definitely more compelling. It also felt closer to the human stories in other Godzilla films. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

It varies for Godzilla, but even in Godzilla's heroic portrayals, he's usually not driven by protecting the Earth like Mothra is.

| GeneralKenobi85 06/13/19 10:47:01 PM #387 | Anyway wins are also hard to come by for the Yankees now too. They need starters desperately at this point. Having a very good bullpen is nice, but all it takes is for one guy to be off his game to ruin it. Usually I think Yankee fans overreact to a lot of things, but this particular issue is one I do share with them. Also, in other baseball news Ohtani hit for the cycle. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

It's unfortunate how much trouble Diaz has been having. It was too much to expect him to be as great as he was last year, but still he was expected to be one of the better closers this year. Looks like it was indeed a pretty awful trade. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

They have many issues, but they know how to throw curveballs and twists in the gameplay department. I don't know about that. I expect the Slate to return, and all the Runes with it. They just seem like convenient abilities. And I don't really see why they'd get rid of them at this point. I would like to see some additional tangible items though, similar to the paraglider. If a good chunk of the game does take place underground, reintroducing the grappling hook sounds like a good idea to me. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

They have many issues, but they know how to throw curveballs and twists in the gameplay department. Yeah I'm optimistic here. I think having a whole map to use already will let them focus even more on some additional new areas. The thing I would like the most is for shrines to be cut down or eliminated in favor of either more traditional dungeons or dungeons like Hyrule Castle in BOTW. Or a mix of both. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

| GeneralKenobi85 06/13/19 8:35:08 AM #6 | Moon was the last one I played and I couldn't get into it. Plus I was finding that I can no longer enjoy the games without self-imposed challenges like Nuzlocke. And even those were getting boring. The series is just stale overall at this point.

| Topic | With the Link's Awakening remake and BotW 2, will we see a new Zelda pattern? |
| GeneralKenobi85 06/11/19 2:23:20 PM #2 | I think they'll remake a couple more games in the future, but I don't think they'll totally replace new traditional Zelda games. And we don't really know what BOTW means for the future of the series either. I do expect the big 3D games to continue to have an open world. But I can easily see them bringing back staples of the Zelda series too, like proper dungeons and items. Hell, it could even be this upcoming game. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

The Swords of Sanghelios is the primary faction that made peace with humanity, and they try to distance themselves from the Covenant as much as possible.

| GeneralKenobi85 06/09/19 10:44:42 AM #22 | I once thought Halo as a series should have ended with Reach. Halo 3 had a very satisfying conclusion after all. Ultimately, I'm glad they did continue the series. Halo 4 was initially a disappointment in every way to me. I still think it's the worst Halo game by far, but I've grown to appreciate certain parts of it. Other than the QTE boss fight with the Didact, I agree that the final three or four missions of Halo 4 are great. I wasn't too impressed with The Didact at first either, but now I desperately hope that he returns as the villain for Infinite. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

Go play a battlefront game or one of the 100000 generic shooters out there. This. You're still going to use the lightsaber 90% of the time. But a combination of that, guns, and the Force lets you do some cool things. I think you need the variety of the Jedi Knight games to make it truly worth it though.
