I thought the combo system sounded interesting when I first heard about it. Plus it's pure, undiluted 90's comics in video game form, apparently.

I just don't understand how anyone can stand to watch it. The models and movement look so clunky and stiff and the particle effects drawn out everything else to the point of it being a massive mess.

You know I like Liam most of the time but sometimes he does poo poo that's just seems like he's arguing to be dumb and petty for no reason and the last podcast had some of the worst of it in awhile

Someone says something he disagrees with
Liam: "No but that doesn't count because we're talking about Globally"

is followed by him cutting in on someone's counterpoint by trying to go "But in Japan!!! I know it has no real baring on the conversation BUT I'M JUST SAYING!".

His main point was that dumb "farmvile but with weeeeed" things are lazy and may be not worth holding as examples of evil censors.

He then goes on to say "Just don't make games about drugs because that's artistically void." That's not paraphrasing. Dude's got some weird issue on drugs. Apparently you can't have a thing about drugs or the people around them (unless it's good but then it's not actually about drugs). From the way he was talking the farmville bit seemed like the least important part of it.

There's no joke there, it's just kind of hosed up some of Liam's opinions come off because of how much he loves to be contrary/play devil's advocate.

I would say if someone's memorized Smelter, then all 3 bosses in Sunken are harder than Alonne. However, the enemies, NPC phantoms, and Fume Knight are way tougher quite literally.

I mean at least Pat has said with the warning "To my knowledge" as a crutch on all his sentences.

What? The only thing difficult about the Sunken boss fights are the adds in the Queen, and then it's only the Not-Aegis one and you can literally just ignore him and kill her.

The Dragon is yet another Dragon boss fight and is easy dealt with in the exact same way as all the other Dragon boss fights with the added issue of 'Having to walk around a bit more than usual' to it.

I don't think anyone here is complaining about woolie at all? They're saying Pat is kinda annoying. I only watched a few episodes but it didn't really seem all that entertaining.

Speaking of Pat being annoying, what's with his weird hate of fighting mostly cool knights/people in a setting that is like 90% Human-ish knights adventuring around and loving poo poo up? Like I'd rather fight a bunch of unique and interesting sword mans than a bunch of lovely monsters.

It's like he doesn't remember the Dragon God, or the Barrel Spider, or the Fool's Idol, or that dumb Butterfly in Dark souls.

Souls games are pretty bad when it comes to giant monsters. Though I do admit when they get it right it's some of their best poo poo.

I feel like they're getting deliberately misconstrued in a lot of cases. It's 10 years later and people still use that soundclip/ytmnd to dismiss what is essentially just participation points. Which is kind of besides the point as barely any guilds bother using DKP anymore. Most just use an open /roll system.

Also most good MMO's have basically said "gently caress everything about that" and use entirely different, less lovely systems. The Best friends have the same problem a lot of people do about MMO's where WoW is the only one they really know and assume everything's the same. Which is a safe bet, since for a long long while every new MMO was a WoW clone.

The problem with TWD in general is that it's a franchise that has a fine setup for exploring a devastated society starting to rebuild itself but the scope is character drama so all you get is Failure of the Week ad nauseam.

Also, nothing you do will ever actually rebuild society because the setting is 100% about the dumb failures.
