Gameplay wise it's fantastic, however it's just lacking in...something

There's the odd chest here and there but other than that there's no reason to explore. It tried to copy the Dark Souls format, but the NPC's don't have much value, you can't buy anything, there's no quests. If there was just a little more to sink your teeth into it could have been something truly special. Because as it stands now, you traveling around and mastering your fighting style, it's a great feeling and something I've wanted in a game for a long time.

Maybe that's what sequels are for.

It doesn't have the charm or polish of Overwatch but gameplay wise it's as good as Titanfall 2. Which is a good fucking game.

Like what

Well instead of going through the entire catalog I'll just name 5 of my favourite action scenes. In no particular order

1) You gotta give it up to the Airport scene in Civil War. Every second that transpires is something fucking amazing, funny, an interesting bit of character interaction or just a wonderful spectacle to behold. There's so much going on and yet it works so goddamn well. The Russo Bros are absolute masterminds with how much they were able to pack into this movie.

2) It would be cheating to say the entire battle for New York in Avengers. So I'm going to narrow it down to the best minute of action, dare I say in any movie ever. I honestly love this sequence so much

https://youtu.be/SKfQrFTLGk8?t=170

Here's the link here. It brilliantly interweaves all the Avengers together in this amazing sequence that takes you through the city. From the initial shot of Black Widow taking over the chariot, sliding into Iron Man controlling the skies, swooping in to help cap down on ground level. Then we follow Iron Man back up to the skies to see Clint on top of a Skyskraper, right in his wheelhouse sniping dudes at the top of the city. Then he takes out a chariot that crashes into one of serpent things that happens to have Thor and Hulk riding on it, making mincemeat of some Chitauri. Hulk rips off one of the scales of the serpent, and Thor smashes that fucking thing right into the brain of the beast. Bringing it right down into Grand Central Station. I had the biggest fucking grin when I seen this scene transpire in theatres, and I still love it to this day.

3) Honorable mention to the brief chase sequence through the office from Captain America Winter Soldier

https://youtu.be/U2fap9_S30M?t=120

Just the fucking speed and power they managed to capture from Cap is unreal. Such a great little scene

However my choice is the the highway fight scene later on in the movie.



You can just feel the expertise of the Winter Soldier on display here. They give such weight to the character and make him feel like an ultimate badass. When he switches between 3 different firearms and then a knife in 10 seconds. And let's talk about that fucking little knife dance there because it never gets old every time I see it. Sebastian Stan absolutely fucking nails the roll





4) Safety spoilers for Dr. Strange Ahead


The whole end fight with the Eye of Agamotto. I mean in a movie with absolutely breathtaking visual design, every scene where they rip apart reality is worth mentioning. But I particularly love the end scene. First you have Dr. Strange reversing the destruction of Hong Kong with the time stone, and THEN you set the fight in that. It's the total opposite of every other fight scene where the destruction and mayhem has already happened and the fight is happening while it all reverses.

But that's not the most creative part. The best part is the final confrontation with Dormammu. The protagonist goes up against a force so powerful he has absolutely zero chance of winning. So he outsmarts it by losing forever until it concedes. I fucking love this scene.


5) Hulk Buster Scene in AoU. There has been so many amazing moments brought to life straight form the comics, but this is one of my favourite. In case you forgot how much of a menace the Hulk is this movie reminds you quick. The scene is so visceral, so powerful. And I just love the idea of having this contingency in place, so well thought out that it comes with replacement parts.

IDC the train was sequence better than almost anything in modern movies. Plus Raimi actually did the character of Spider-man right.

Not "do you bleed" murdering Batman" or mopey Superman that barely saves people

Your go to example is a superhero movie on par with Batman & Robin?

Every MCU movie has a dozen scenes better than this.

I don't know what to tell ya man, but I refuse to believe that there was an entire server full of toxic people just after the game launched.

It's one thing to not like grouping but it just seems to me like because the game forced you to interact you probably got testy and projected your feelings on others. It sounds like you didnt really enjoy the game so that says to me that you probably were rubbing on your parties the wrong way.

I'm sure many others can speak from experience, I would like to hear from others what they think. I mean there are millions of people who played vanilla wow and built strong relationships (many of which carried into real life) because of random people they met while everyone was sill wide eyed and exploring the game for the first time.

B. You joined the game much later on. I played it mere months after release, so this was pretty much Vanilla FFXI and where everything was still somewhat fresh and new.

Nope I was there from Day 1, played for a couple years. Quit for a while and came back for a little bit.

Community was fantastic. Was in a few different LS, everyone was super friendly, super helpful. Sometimes I felt bad asking people for help with certain things because they were huge time sinks. But they didn't mind at all, they would come through and help you complete things through no benefit to themselves.

Your experience makes absolutely no sense. The game is fresh and new, which means everyone is still learning and figuring things out, having fun just being a part of something new. I could see maybe if you came at it like years late after people become jaded, complacent, entitled, etc. Which tends to happen with any community.

Like I said earlier. It definitely sounds like the problem is you. You sound like a pretty miserable person.

and an even shittier community,

This is where I'm going to stop you. It definitely sounds like the problem is you. FFXI had an absolutely fantastic community full of really helpful and cool people.

An MMO you can do almost everything by yourself is pretty fucking lame if you ask me. I don't think the game should force you to group either. But it shouldn't be playable almost 100% solo. Might as well be playing a singleplayer game at that point.

Typically the social aspect makes it worth it.

Amusingly, the aspect I dislike most about MMOs is the actual "multiplayer" part, I hate having to rely on other people or for them to rely on me in order to get anything done.

Suffice to say, FFXI was about the worst first MMO experience I could have asked for, to the extent I almost swore off the entire genre right there when I played it way back then.

Now this is a person that shouldn't be playing MMOs.

I miss exploration in mmos. I played Everquest on the ps2 and had a blast exploring caves and shit. The little time that I played ff11 I had a similar experience. Now everything is instanced and you don't need to actually search for anything. You just follow your mini map.

100% this. I absolutely loved in FFXI how you actually had to acquire the maps for each zone. It led to situations where you would be following the one guy in the party with the map. Small things like this help sell the experience of being in a big world with other people. Many zones were actually very maze like and quite difficult to navigate

Suggestions for improvement?

In my perfect MMO the combat would have the weight and fluidity of something like Dark Souls. You don't need 143254345 abilities, you just need the basic mechanics to be fun. And then when you add layers on top of that you have something special.

megamanzero1000 posted...

So what are you saying? That vanilla wow was good?

That's actually the popular thought these days, you don't need to hear if from me.

Vanilla WoW did have a lot of things going for it. The most important thing was that it was new, and you can't recreate that.But that's an important takeaway. People are nostalgic for the days when you could just explore the world and discover things, meet new people and get into interesting scenarios. The endgame grind is not what people fell in love with all those years ago.

It was nice also that it didn't hold the players hand at literally every opportunity. I remember getting your different forms as Druid was actually involved and fun. When everything is given to you without any effort it feels like the game plays itself.

And you wouldn't know how to not stand in the fire, or look out for other fight mechanics.

Ah yes how could I forget

The basic combat mechanics are so archaic and boring that in order to add any variety or "fun" to the fights they litter every boss fight with macguffins and gimmicks to arbitrarily increase the length and "difficulty" (i.e. useless shit you gotta remember).

Yeah, super good game design.

This is one of those examples where I can't understand why people enjoy this style of game.

All the trappings they have to deal with such as

-The game doesn't actually "start" until you reach level cap. You're spending dozens of tedious and boring hours churning through all this irrelevant content? Why is it even there? This would be unacceptable in literally every other game so why do people put up with it here? "Hey guys I know you want to see what happens on the journey of Joel and Ellie in "The Last of Us" but you're going to have to spend 37 hours walking through empty streets and desolate woods where nothing happens at all. Once you've done that the story begins"


-The gear treadmill. You complete Thing A to have a chance to get Gear A so that you can go do Thing B which has Gear B which is better stated but not as cool looking as Gear A, but that doesn't fucking matter at all because you can just Transmogradoodledipdopskiparoosirmixalot and change its looks into whatever piece of gear you want.

-And that leads me to my next point that they make things so convenient that nothing you do has any weight or importance. The hours of time you spend doing something doesn't have any weight. It doesn't make you feel good when you accomplish it. Because everyone does it easily and you're moving on to the next thing immediately

-Basic gameplay. You stand there repeating a rotation of abilities with ZERO thought put into it. Nothing changes from fight to fight, things really don't get harder or even more interesting as the game progresses, you just have a few more abilities. And then when you get into a group it's just a clusterfuck of animations and particle effects until you have a fucking seizure.



What the fuck is actually happening on screen. Nobody knows, it's just an ejaculation of graphical nonsense to trick your little lizard brain into thinking you're having fun.

But if you're actually confused and unsure of where to look, then allow me to make it easy for you.



You don't need to pay attention to a fucking thing that's happening on screen. Don't stop for a second to enjoy the scenery, plot out your objective, the terrain, the enemies movements or the enemies themselves. All you need to do is stare directly at that minimap that's pointing your dumbass to your next objective. Your quest log that tells you how many time sinks /100 you have left to complete so you can go turn that in without reading one word of the quest details because it's all useless filler. And finally you just have to glance at your hotbar so you know what abilities are coming off cooldown for you to spam.


It's absurd.
