i've been told that it explores a lot of themes and expresses the same kind of messages that i do about life and whatnot

but if that were true, why would it be so goddamn popular

Sure, but only if they were interested, and we knew where to go and what to do. I can see that sort of thing getting awkward otherwise.

botw is amazing, but there are too many aspects that could be improved for it to be the best imo

WW is as close to perfection zelda has ever gotten

When I get back into it, I'm gonna have three characters to grind FM for: Kolin, Ed, Abigail.

I wonder who I'll grind for first.

Maybe Ed, 'cause he's Balrog's apprentice.

By the way, her default costume was actually """censored."""

Here's how it originally was:

Spoiler

Art of the original still appears in some character intros. Even Capcom decided it was a little too fucking silly.

I put "censor" in quotation marks, because the reason had nothing to do with fear of backlash or anything. They just decided it looked better in terms of color balance, which... it does.

The reason no one got upset is because, as it turns out, people actually find the spandex a lot sexier. ::)

Also, what do you think of her theme?

Some say it's the worst theme in the game and doesn't fit at all, but I honestly dig it.

Story costume is the way to go, but I can't say no to that white & orange.

That said, I don't play her 'cause she's hard as fuck, but she's actually my favorite character to fight for some reason.

Got to round 27 as Juri before getting fucked over by a low health. Ended up losing to Zangief because of a trade.

reeeeeee
difficulty?
Hard.
Have you tried going online at all yet?

There's a cheesy thing you can try with Fight Request. With Fight Request on, you can accept matches during Survival mode, and when you come back, you'll restart the fight with your health replenished from where it was when the fight began.

You can't rely on it, obviously, but it did save me a couple times.

The Flood / Re: Should we arm teachers and professors?
« on: August 06, 2017, 07:21:40 PM »
remember when you were in school and you had a substitute teacher and the first thing you thought was

"i'm going to make them cry"



yeah let's not give that person a gun
I said teacher not substitute
If you're gonna arm teachers, then logically, you would have to arm subs too. If a teacher is planned to be away for some time, and an unarmed sub comes in, someone could theoretically take advantage of that.

That said, I think it's a pretty bad idea. I'd prefer if we had less guns, not more.

If you asked my parents, they believe everyone should be armed. They think you should be legally required to have a gun on you at all times.

A technically indefinite amount, as you could just make an arbitrarily long post, and I could just read it at any point.

The hatred around this game has always seemed like completely irrational hysteria to me.

As for MGSV, I can actually understand from a story standpoint why the game gets shit on. MGS4? No.

« on: August 06, 2017, 10:27:05 AM »
I legit had no idea. That's fucking lame.

Also, why does Spiderman keep changing actors? I don't care much about comic books or superhero movies, so I haven't seen any of the movies that came after Maguire.
The series that came after Sam Raimi's trilogy feat. Tobey Maguire was a total reboot; it's called The Amazing Spider-Man rather than just Spider-Man. So, it's as simple as that—new series -> new actor.

This happened because the planned Spider-Man 4 got canceled due to Raimi leaving the project. He had to finish the film in about three years, and wasn't confident that he'd be able to do it without compromising his artistry. Tobey was always close friends with Raimi, and has stated that he wouldn't want to do another Spider-Man film without him, so he didn't. The industry, too, felt that the core Spider-Man story was always about a coming of age, and the series had been beginning to deviate from that anyway, so they figured it was time to reboot it.

So for the Amazing Spider-Man, they cast Andrew Garfield, with Marc Webb directing. The first movie went over reasonably well with audiences, despite being a near-total rehash of the first Sam Raimi film with re: the fact that it retold his origin story and used mechanical web shooters instead of organic webs to be closer to the comics.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 wound up being one of the worst superhero movies of all time, though. Take all of Spider-Man 3's issues and turn them up to 11, basically. It was fucking bad, and, relatively speaking, it performed poorly at the box office as well. So that franchise was shitcanned.

Spider-Man is still an immensely popular character, and Sony is determined to make any effort to milk him, so they expressed interest in grouping him up with the MCU (the Avengers movies). He made his first appearance in Captain America: Civil War, which would've been a surprise appearance if it wasn't so heavily advertised. This new, completely-unrelated-to-Andrew-Garfield Spider-Man is very young and stated to be fifteen years of age.

So, this NEW movie, Spider-Man: Homecoming, is another reboot and I'm not joking. It is an expansion of the Spider-Man that we saw in CA: Civil War, and that's where we currently stand.

It's a mess and you're not wrong for having missed out.

TL;DR

They just keep rebooting the series, which entails a new story, which entails new actors.

Wait what, Spiderman doesn't always generate the web? What is this shit
Welcome to......2013?
Then what does he do instead? Does he have a machine that makes fake webs? Because that'd be the dumbest shit.


yyyyyep

it's as dumb as you think, too, because there are plenty of conflicts that involve him losing/breaking the damn things

Daily reminder that the Tobey Maguire movies are the only acceptable canon lore.

Organic webs are an affectation by Sam Raimi.
Organic webs were in the comics first, but it was Peter's clone, Kaine (Scarlet Spider), that had them.
i see

following comics seems like a massive headache
Some are easier than others, but Spiderman is awful to follow. The Clone Saga was easily the lowest point of the comic's history, but (surprising to those new to comics) Spiderman has a LOT of overly convoluted and mediocre stories. The Night Gwen Stacy Died, The Amazing Spiderman run by Straczynski, Superior Spiderman, and Renew Your Vows are basically the best of his history (with a few other good ones mixed in). The only reason he hasn't ended up like the Fantastic Four is because of the legacy cemented by Secret Wars, the 90's cartoon, and the Raimi movies.
please just tell me Spider-Man Reign isn't canon
It isn't 616/2.0 Spider-man, so no.
what's that mean
Like DC, Marvel comics have a multiverse. The primary Marvel universe was Earth-616; then because of the events in Time Runs Out and Secret Wars 2015, we got a singular comicbook universe that took the favorite parts of all the universes (616 Peter Parker, Miles Morales, etc) and combined them into one continuity.
And is that considered canon to the MCU? Or are they two separate entities?
MCU is a different continuity, yes. Most of the characters were based more heavily on their Ultimate incarnations as well, and not the mainline characters.
i like this

so it's not that things are "non-canon"

they're just "different-canon"
