Genuine, albeit snarky, question: Did anybody understand FFT's story enough to have an opinion on it? I never beat it and most of my attempts were as a kid, but I remember thinking it was just longwinded and inaccessible.

Its not difficult at all to understand as an adult. Yeah there are spots where the translation is bad, but theres really only one spot where it requires more than a token effort to puzzle out the basic meaning.

Well like I said earlier, I only got it when I played Death Stranding. But as I also said earlier, I'm dumb! The tldr is that I think V and DS are (at least trying to be) rejections of the "lone badass action hero saves/changes the world" trope. It's much more obvious in DS than in MGS, which is a series full of badass action heroes.

This is actually consistent because Solid Snake is the simpler "big damn hero" version of Big Boss, who is basically held together with duct tape and friendship as Old Snake! And don't get me wrong, I love Solid Snake because he's a big damn hero but I definitely think Kojima got sick of that whole thing.

I mean Snake is literally based on Snake Plissken who is a quintessential 80s action movie hero. Its interesting to watch Kojima eventually reject the premise that inspired the entire series.

Older games had simpler stories due to the constraints of the medium. I dont think thats the same thing as saying (in all cases) that they were lesser, regardless of your age or experience.

Unlike Leftists, I find it possible to enjoy art that may be divergent from my own political beliefs. Life is not very enjoyable if you view everything through such a narrow lens.

I mean, its one thing to enjoy art that expresses beliefs contrary to your own. Its another thing entirely to be militantly opposed to politics in games while constantly singing praises for one of the most, if not the most, political game series in existence (which also expresses politics radically opposed to your own).

I just think Kojima's attention for detail as well as his prescient story-telling and just... his wonky idea of how to translate "fun" into video games like this were tailored specifically to me.

idk it seemed more logical to me to assume I'm 38+ in this scenario than the age of consent being lowered to 9. One of these is much more likely to happen than the other!

Also, one of these is just way more plausible all around even setting aside legality.

I'm surprised people feel more confident fighting an eagle than a large dog. At least kicks would be viable against a dog

Id feel more confident that Id make it out completely unscathed vs a dog.....but Im certainly not fearing for my life against an eagle. They have negligible reach and zero ground game. Once you get your hands on one its fucking over. Also, not an eagle, but I still feel this video is relevant....

I never played ME3 back in the day, but I remember the uproar. Does this version do anything to fix the ending everyone hated?

The original ending was literally a 0/10 troll ending.

The fixed ending is still only like a 3/10 if were being generous. Theres only so much they could pull out of their ass in a limited time. The game overall is still great though and would probably have been like an 11/10 all time masterpiece with even an average ending.

I know it's Marvel and we've had a break thanks to covid but 4 movies a year over the next 2 years is gonna be a testing point I feel lol

Remember when these used to be 2 a year, what a time


In the beginning the Marvel movies were spaced by 24 weeks, then 12, then 6, then every 2 weeks. The last one was a week. In four days we could be seeing a Marvel movie every 8 hours until they are coming every 4 minutes. We should witness a double movie within 7 days. Numbers dont lie. There will be a double movie, and then shortly thereafter 3, and then 4...

And then were dead.
