Man, I'm unemployed and even I have better things to do with my time than sit through MauLer's hot garbage (although God bless the people who made the 'long critique is not good critique' video). Not that somebody who experiences 'unbridled rage' at Black Panther is somebody I'm going to listen to in the first place, but still.

I just can't imagine his thought processes watching a film. Like, that clip of him whining about the themes of TLJ made it sound like he thinks that a film's plot forms out of the aether and is then mangled by the writers and director to fit the theme, or some poo poo. Beyond that, half of his loving comments are the most tough-guy logic pedant poo poo. Watching a scene and smugly declaring "Well ~I~ wouldn't have made the mistake that character did" is grounds for getting a slap.

I can't believe there is someone who is even worse then Doug Walker for the whole "basically show the entire movie through its highlights while making comments, but make jokes" fair use thing.

Also my position is, and always has been, that Dark Souls 2 is the worst game in the series but only by process of elimination. Its much better than its non-Dark Souls contemporaries and is a great game in its own right.

DS2 had the best weapon in the entire series and all the others are worse for not bringing it back. (Bone Fist) Also power stance was times better than the mostly useless weapon ability junk of DS3.

AnEdgelord posted:I disagree with Hbomb's Dark Souls take but lmao at either watching or making an 8 hour rebuttal to it. Having played through DS2 not too long ago, DS2's problem isn't that it's bad, but that it's just kind of the weakest of the series (I say this not having played DS3 yet, despite having it installed at the moment). Jimbot posted:I used to think Dark Souls 2 was bad but then I thought about it some more and it was within the context of that series as a whole. So it evolved from Dark Souls 2 is bad to "I was let down by Dark Souls 2". But even when I thought it was "bad", I thought the PvP in it was incredibly entertaining even though dual-wielding that rapid-fire crossbow thing was god-tier broken. One thing I remember being said in the DS2 thread is that, as a "game", DS2 is really good. By that, what I believe they meant is that carrying on from Dark Souls 1, DS2 made a lot of improvements to combat and weapons to make things a lot more versatile (dual-wielding, power-stancing, etc.). On the matter of world-building, area design, lore, and bosses, however, DS2 doesn't match up. However, by that same token, one of the things that I think turned me (and I assume a lot of other people) off the game at first were the changes to the stat systems. More specifically, if you jump into DS2 right after DS1, stats like Vigor and Adaptability are off-putting, and then there's stuff like Soul Memory as well. The DS2 thread is worth a look for some more insight into that sort of thing, though.

I once encountered a guy on the Internet who said that the episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer where Buffy is placed under a spell which causes her to believe she is a patient in a mental hospital and all her adventures have been products of her imagination ruined the entire programme. Why is this so? Because he honestly seemed to believe that no artists actually "create" stories; they only "discover" them. As though all narrative fiction actually exists "somewhere out there" and writers are simply a medium through which it is communicated. By suggesting within a fictional story that its fiction is indeed fictional, you apparently "destroy the verisimilitude" of the story, or something to that effect. I recall a lot of the same thing coming up in those old TV Tropes mock threads we used to have.

i've said it before and you can't loving stop me from saying it again DS2's biggest problem is that it controls terribly and the combat feels like poo poo, and even if it was perfect in every other way that would be enough to ruin it for me. but it isn't perfect in every other way, it's a mess

The secret to DS2 being awesome is the adaptability stat you can just pump in that poo poo and never need a shield and then troll dudes during PVP by just dodging everything until they give up and then they send you really really angry messages on PSN god I love DS2

There are like 2 things Dark Souls 3 did better than 2. It didn't have adaptability, so there wasn't this feeling that you needed to pump levels into a stat that made only a bit of difference (while the i-frames are near fat roll, it's still a fast roll so you can at least move well). Dark Souls 3 just had the 2 rolls and it was fine. The Embering made you have bonus health, rather than taking away health when Hollowing. Its fundamentally the same as in Demons, but it is presented in the opposite direction. This way, Embering feels like a buff rather than dying feeling like even more of a punishment. Nothing else. Also those DLCs are almost entirely garbage bosses. They even made the Old Monk iteration bad.

Dark Souls 2 is the best Dark Souls game. Of course, Demon’s Souls and Bloodborne are both better.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsXtBa_ULfM Even game modders are dunking on boogie. Frankly compared to his both sides-isms, this is a harmless Boogie take, but he's still an idiot for thinking the star wars license couldn't fall into worse hands than EA. EA is godawful but I would not want it to go to Bethesda.

Could someone whose beaten DK64 break down what is needed for 101% and just how nested the process is? Example: to 100 sync Assassin's Creed 4 you need to master 45 main-missions, beat 61 side-missions, clear out 53 locations of collectibles, overtake 11 forts, reach 58 viewpoints, dig up 22 chests,, defeat the 4 legendary ships, collect 16 stelae, and open 8 taverns.
