I thought Batman got pretty good respect when on the right stages. Just not memetic level respect.

Still think Rika is absurd. Was stuck on a team with relatively low firepower though.

The Doom characters felt weird to argue about for some reason. Had bo idea Cyberdemon was listed as a 4/week lol

Batman + Rika

Reading the topic to learn that Batman has his no-line-of-sight teleportation is actually what swayed me. I think even just 1 redo of knowledge makes him ganking BJ a certainty. Even if Batman spontaneously combusts after that, Mega Man and Leon are probably enough to put down Cyberdemon and a dying Zagreus.

Going with the Yeti. Vampires could be really tough depending on the interpretation (many don't have all the traditional weaknesses) as could Zombies (many aren't slow)

Yeti haven't seen anything that would make it much more scary than a Grizzly Bear. Seems like a big gun/explosives and advantageous terrain would win you that one.
Where are you getting explosives and big guns in 24 hours?

Because they were bad! The Last of Us is probably the only time I can think of where people complained about a port that wasn't bad. Like, where was this outcry for Skyrim Anniversary Edition which did nothing except add fishing and break mods?

I just don't believe the internet would've gotten out of shape without The Last of Us 2 resentment. The worst that would've happened is people going "oh, I don't need that" and moving on.

I know they can, but there's nothing wrong with having a newer version with updated graphics. That's objectively a positive unless it's like a Silent Hill HD Collection situation. I'd get people being miffed if the PS5 version was a bad port, but from what I've seen it's not. Other companies have done way more egregious rereleases than updating a 9 year old game and no one cared.

I don't The Last of Us was ever stuck in PS3 jail. The PS4 HD release has been around forever.

TLOU PS5 Remake I would say is probably the most egregiously worthless of any major remake that's been done.
Funny you should say that, because the PS4 release came out like a year after the original and was absolutely derided by some people as being 'unnecessary', while the PS5 version came out 9 years after the original.

My point is none of these are worthless because not everyone had a PS3 or PS4. Some people are new gamers or just plain skipped on the original and would be interested in a version with a fresh coat of paint. The gamer outrage over the PS5 version was and continues to be ridiculous and is just a byproduct of people's lingering resentment over TLOU2.

I'm fine with any port, remaster, or remake that's done well. Not everyone gets to play something the first time around. For example, I didn't play any version of The Last of Us besides the original, but I think it's a good thing that it's no longer stuck in PS3 jail.

Hmm yeeeah Doomguy

I do think that with a more normal weapons loadout this would be highly debatable. As far as fantasy JRPG characters go, Squall and Tifa are great choices for fighting gunners. I don't agree with the general consensus that seems to be them getting headshot the moment they try to approach. Both of them canonically defeat numerous enemies with bullets, and they both have Advent Children-style mobility to close the gap. They wouldn't beat Chief or Doom Slayer, but they'd be an non-negligible threat...without stuff like the BFG in play.

I mean he clearly states that hes going to be reinstated at the end of that very game and is then the star of the next game. The next two main entries were very well received, DD smashed sales expectations and SoJ met them. So whatever you think of the decision itself I dont think it had much of a negative effect on the series in the long run.
AA5 beat sales expectations because expectations were in the pits. It almost didn't get localized - a Capcom higher-up had to lie in order to get approval because of his faith in the series. Even then the sales weren't nearly as good compared to Apollo Justice, which had amazing sales in Japan thanks to goodwill from the DS trilogy re-release popping off. Nothing ever came close to AJ's opening sales numbers again.

I haven't done the math, but I think Phoenix spends more time disbarred than he spends practicing Law, even adding all games in the series.
Much more time. AJ also presents the disbarment like absolutely no one in Phoenix's life giving a shit that it happened to him, as if they didn't exist in the writer's mind when making the story.

Phoenix being disbarred is legitimately one of the worst-executed plot twists I've ever seen in a game. The series never recovered from it.

Recommending FF14 is weird because it theoretically wouldn't take someone *that* long to complete. Not compared to the insane hours some people post about, anyway. Playing just the main story and maybe some side quests here and then is 'only' five full-length JRPGs strapped together. You don't NEED to do the insane amount of side content. I've seen people here marathoning the Yakuza series and that's way crazier to me.

Some people who start FF14 absolutely would be sucked in regardless and do all the side stuff, though, so it's not a recommendation I can make without recognizing the potential for it to drain someone's time.
