Nah, Woolie's right. The interesting bit of Eva is the writer/creator's depression leaking through and because of that none of the characters really seem right or act right because they're not.

Shinji's probably the most well-written and realistic character in the entire drat series, and that's also why most people hate his guts

He's got crippling depression, anxiety, abuse and trauma issues and the few times he actually gets proactive and does things with a positive goal in mind it results in Literally The Apocalypse and he just falls that much further into the depression hole

Nah Shinji's fine because he's just a stand in for Anno's depression, it's the entire rest of the cast that are hilariously unrealistic and terrible.

Also, Evangelion wasn't the first reluctant pilot. That was like Amuro from Gundam who had to get bitchslapped to be the only hope for his crew.

It's more that it's both annoying and funny to hear people who like Eva a lot act like it was the first of it's kind in anything, when it's just another take an the genre.

Well, this latest DS episode was bountiful in information. Pat never taught Woolie how to double estus, and Woolie takes his entire right hand off the controller to switch on the hotkey inventory. That explains every death when he dies trying to switch to Estus.

Also Pat never taught him how to parry. Or how to be aggressive without wildly flailing. Or how to actually roll through attacks. Liam should have helped Woolie through the DLC so he can learn how to be a crazy cool guy because it's honestly a lot more fun and makes a lot of the DLC bosses much easier.

Just off the top of my head.

But I suppose that goes same for me in regards to the PS4. There's absolutely zero exclusive titles on there that I care about, and thus, don't have one.

KI looks okay but I would rather play any other new fighting game that's been out recently (Ultimax and Xrd are leagues better), Scalebound isn't out for more than a year and we don't even know what its going to be, Sunset Overdrive is yet another third person shooter platformer by Insomniac games with some of the loving most annoying writing I've had to sit through in recent memory and Quantum Break looks super loving generic like despite all it's big flashy set pieces and time things the game play looks stiff and boring and unfun to someone who has had enough of third person cover-shooters.

Wow.

They are completely different games. That's like saying, "Virtua Fighter is way better than Fatal Fury" and honestly, I'm super tired of Arc System Fighting games, as they all play very similarly. Have you even played KI? Or know anything about it? It seems like you've "looked" at it.

I've played about 30 matches of it and the most I can say for it is "Eh. This isn't for me." Which is why I said I'd rather play another fighting game, because KI just isn't my bag. Sorry, Matt. :shrug:. It doesn't help that I can't stand KI's art style or character designs. The whole game just doesn't click with me. The only character I actually think is cool is Skeleton-Lord Spinal

Plus Ultimax's lobby system is so much better than any similar game I can think of from recent years. It's very good.

Fair enough. Similarly, I don't like Arena, or it's expansion, Ultimax. They are not for me, not to mention I couldn't care less about the persona universe.

That's kind of how I feel about KI. It just feels way too 'Trying to be cool' in a 90's way so to me all the characters just feel like MK characters. That's a bit unfair, KI is 1000% more diverse and interesting than pre-X MK, but they fill that same Niche in my brain.

To be fair Best Friends' weird hate of George (He's in all of 2 loving scenes and they have this hilarious hate boner for him) and new George Surrogate Loki is pretty funny/dumb.

As is their dislike of Luka's new design because he looks dumb. Because it's kind of the point. If you ever looked at Luka and though "Wow look at how cool this guy is!" you're part of the joke that is Luka. He's a big dumb nerd messing with poo poo way over his head and is just a joke.

I dunno, the fact that he is the one person so overly cluttered makes me think it's on purpose so it comes across as "Man maybe if I dress all cool and fancy then Bayo and friends will notice me!" and like the big loser that he is he just kept stacking on affectation after affectation.

The only thing I know about Bayonetta for sure is that the nerd tears when I say I don't like it as much as DMC and think it's not all that great are delicious.

I still like DMC 4 more. I wouldn't say it's a better game, but I would say I prefer playing it to Bayo, personally. The style swapping is so much fun and the weapons in Bayo aren't exactly...as important as DMC weapons are? Like in Bayo one the only ones that REALLY changed how you fought were the whips and the cannons. Otherwise it was the same combos with roughly the same speed. Compare that to the differences in Using Lucifer and Gilgamesh just for example.

Bayo does have a dedicated dodge button though, so that's one thing it has over DMC.

Well The Colonel is a loving ignoramus because he doesn't understand the crazy beauty of The Time Has Come and So Have I. Also the first Bayo game REALLY suffers in level design. Especially any area with the wall running, because the camera in Platinum games barely work on a flat open fight area so when you stick a 90 degree turn into an arena the camera just doesn't do it's job.

And it has loving terrible bosses. They're big pretty spectacles but none of them are actively fun to fight because they're 80% run on enemy to weakspot, hit until dead, do more platforming to get back, repeat til victory. The obvious exceptions are Some of the Jeanne fights and parts of the Lumen Sage boss fight.

Also the game is filled with lovely instant Game over QTE's, or at least gently caress-up-and-take-big-damage, some of which are in the middle of actual boss fights.

The final Jeanne fight is the worst because it combines the Walk on wall mechanics that break the camera with AI that loves to hove at the corner of the two walls because it's easy flip between walls to dodge your attack that has a lovely minigame gating the boss every time AND has lovely super fast QTE moments between the phases of the fight. I will NEVER understand the 2BF's reverence for that fight when that whole level is basically a condensed version of everything bad Platinum sneaks into most of their games.

Jeanne 3 (The plane fight) is pretty great though, mostly because it's a big enough space the camera doesn't poo poo itself.

And is preceded by one of the worst Space Harrier style levels Platinum's ever done. They're a lot better in W101, but boy was it terrible in Bayo 1.

Yeah I would have LOVED to see more extra cases but holy poo poo Pat's loving intense screaming crying about "NO DO THE THING I WANT" was kind of ridiculous in part 3 and 4. Like yes I know the giant man is interesting but it will very obviously progress the overall plot along so we might miss some poo poo so have some loving patience. The most interesting thing in this so far are the characters and they're kind of just glossing over them and that's a bit disappointing.
