I think it's actually the opposite, Nemesis is too dangerous. He's much harder to avoid and he hits you harder. I think this is why he ended up not being in the game as much. Having a Mr. X that can jump across a map the way Nemesis can would be obnoxious if he were chasing you as long as he was in the RCPD.Guess I worded that wrong, but that's exactly what I meant. Nemesis is stronger but is a worse stalker than Mr X because he's more restricted. He was RELENTLESS in the original, I kept salivating at how Savage he would be in the remake but also deep down knew they wouldn't be able to fit all his random appearances in a modern game... But to only let him freely hunt you once in the remake? Pathetic. They really shouldn't have bothered remaking the game if they were not going to do it full justice. --- :) |

| xlr_big-coop 05/09/24 8:41:55 PM #9 | Nah, it disrespects the original in so many ways. Plenty of areas and enemies got cut, nemesis is more neutered than Mr x despite being the better stalker, it's too short for the asking price and

| Topic | Is 30fps in a video game acceptable to you? |
| xlr_big-coop 05/09/24 12:40:18 PM #73 | Depends on the game, I'm not going to bitch over old games having this limitation. I'd say though, modern games need to be released with 60 as a baseline. One would think that 60+ would have become the standard by now yet here we are.

| Topic | why aren't kids into modern comic books? |
| xlr_big-coop 05/07/24 10:25:59 PM #131 | Because modern comics suck. Spiderman has been suffering for what, 10 years? Plus nothing really matters when everyone who dies comes back or they find some stupid way of retconning everything (flashpoint).
A bud of mine has been showing me some older stuff that is legit fun but modern issues are just not interesting. --- :) |

The Dreamcast had more and better games in its short lifespan ffs, it'll also be more fondly remembered than the current gen.

| Topic | ITT a truth you may or may not be ready to hear |
| xlr_big-coop 05/06/24 4:20:27 PM #7 | If a series clearly drops older fans to chase new ones then yeah, I'd say there's fair criticism to be made. Hate when an artist chases trends rather than staying true to their style, like Shakira and Coldplay did for example. I'd say one as a fan isn't entitled to the work constantly appealing to them, but we also don't have to show up and support every little thing they do either.
Pokemon arguably keeps dropping in quality every release yet they have no incentive to improve since fans keep defending and purchasing every entry. What do you do then? --- :) |

what do y'all think of hifiman. they have some in that budget range $150 but ik they don't have a great reputation when it comes to QC. I've had like 3 break on me and another one that came with a broken cable but was fine otherwiseI got the HE-4xx and they're my favorite set of cans. They do feel a bit cheap but I care more about the sound quality than looks. --- :) |
| Topic | Zelda: Twilight Princess... Good game or nah? |
| xlr_big-coop 04/30/24 5:57:05 PM #40 | For me, TP is one of the absolute lowest points of the series. Unremarkable OST, fugly characters, piss easy combat/dungeons, wolf link is an eye rolling addition that boils down to a single button QTE here and there. the worst offender imo is the plot, literally nothing important happens in the game. Hell, I find it hilarious that even aonuma himself doesn't understand the meaning of

| xlr_big-coop 04/27/24 8:43:14 PM #35 | It bothers me in the sense that they marketed and sold the game on something that you clearly cannot get anymore. Beyond that? Meh, PC always wins for a reason.

| Topic | After 11 years my headphones have finally broken. |
| xlr_big-coop 04/20/24 1:54:52 PM #6 | Depends on what you want. The ones you listed are closed backs with noise isolation, so the Sony's would probably be the closest. I have a pair of xm3's but these are known to have a bug/glitch on the right cup that comes and goes. Mine have it and the leather is peeling off the cushions so I might need to replace them soon.
For open backs I'd recommended something like the Sennheiser 6xx or hifiman 4xx. I have both and they're amazing. The 6xx is great for when you want to hear the artist pluck each string, they're warm and the sound feels like it's surrounding you. The 4xx are much better suited for electronic or stuff with synthesizers. They're my favorite pair of the 3 I got. --- :) |
