McDragon posted:Being able to change the story in the options menu seems weird I’m kind of reminded of how Brutal Legend gives you a prompt at the start to toggle how gory the gameplay will be (...and profanity). The difference being, of course, that BL’s blood and gore doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb in the setting, since it wasn’t starting from a children’s game series.

We’re only one update in, and we’re already questioning why the hell this cult even exists. Between their leader treating them like cannon fodder, and the “god” they worship taking one look at the poo poo they’ve done in it’s name and running the hell away, it’s a wonder they didn’t start revolting the moment she was out of earshot.

Plus Insurgence’s grimdark stuff so far has been unintentionally hilarious (again, Darkrai taking one look at the ritual sacrifice made in it’s name and going “fuuuuck this”), while Reborn’s never really risen to that level. At best it’s just dull with how overbearing it gets, at worst, it makes me sincerely wonder what the hell is wrong with the creator.

It’s kind of funny how posters in this thread have seemingly already largely forgotten the whole “ritual sacrifice” introduction, while the train bombing at the start of Reborn still gets referenced.

So, if it’s not too spoilery to ask... Is it going to be a while before we hit the next “holy poo poo that got dark again” point in the story?

I mean, it’s not like they can make it any worse than it already is. ...Unrelated question: what would be the hypothetical worst type combination possible? As in, it has the most types that it is directly weak to.

Jesus, that’s one hell of a villainous entrance. And... Honestly, it feels like the majority of the Delta mons are gonna wind up being “cool in theory, botched in execution”, which kind of makes me wonder why they even bothered with most of them if they weren’t going to also give them some kind of viable niche. And don’t get me wrong, I really do like the concepts behind a fair few of them, and we haven’t seen anything as cringe-y as the evolution of the possessed Substitute doll from Uranium, either.

DariusLikewise posted:The story would be deceivingly less edgy and make more sense if you used the pocket full of creatures you have to try and save the hiker and his family I’d fully expect that plot armor would kick in and the lead villain would still blow them up even if you did confront and beat them in a battle. Then again, my expectations are pretty tempered by Reborn pulling that poo poo all the loving time.

See, that could actually make for a decent character hook: what do you do when you’re basically set for life, have all the money, power, and influence you could ever want... And you still can’t find any satisfaction?

And we don’t have an absolute flood of characters who all have their own overly-dramatic story arcs that you’re expected to keep track of for the overall plot.
