Is Jackie Chan a girl?

eh, twilight princess on gamecube is the definitive version anyway (link is actually left-handed in that game)

botw honestly feels like butter

actually, if you're not into touch controls, i can see how you wouldn't like phantom hourglass or spirit tracks as well

but you know, that's still more a problem with a select few individual games than a recurrent problem with the series, imo

I'm still really confused about SF's new character

like what the fuck
https://twitter.com/HiFightTH/status/887810769236054016

can you honestly say NO to this backdash animation
That's an actual character?
yee

i think he's great

6847
Shit controls have plagued the series from the beginning. The only outlier being link to the past.
has it?
Yes
gonna have to disagree

skyward sword tends to receive the most complaints (though in my experience, the motion detection was actually spot-on), and ocarina of time can be a little bit janky these days, but beyond that, i've never really had any glaring issues with the controls for any other game

street fighter v

pros:
+ we could play it together if you get it on PC (cause i know you don't like adding internet people on PSN)
+ it's a lot easier to get good at than most fighting games, while still being pretty fun + memes
+ largest player pool in fighting games right now besides maybe tekken
cons:
- you're supporting shitcom if you buy it
- lots and lots of DLC characters to get the full roster/experience (though characters CAN be free, if you work for them)
- silly looking gumby-on-steroids artstyle that may not appeal to everyone

blazblue:

pros
+ you like weebshit and blazblue is pretty hella on the weebshit
+ in terms of gameplay and design and mechanics, it's all-around the better fighting game
+ pretty cool stylized visuals that don't look like gumby on steroids
cons
- it's far tougher to learn and get good at, with an emphasis on lengthy combos and execution
- pretty small pool of players, and i for one do not plan on purchasing it myself
- low character diversity with insultingly bad female character designs (yes, even worse than R. Mika)

if you were looking to become a hardcore fighting game connoisseur, i would say blazblue for sure
if you just wanna play some fun fighting games casually, i would recommend SFV

so, whichever end of the spectrum you find yourself closer to

Hey Verb, interesting movie

https://myanimelist.net/anime/32281/Kimi_no_Na_wa
i just got done with this actually, i'll talk about it later
I already know you'll hate it because the boob grabbing
how do you know that

stop getting caught up on this one thing and have it influence everything else
ahaha

because you're predictable, and sorry, what i said is true~
i'll show you how predictable i am:

your name is a 10/10

kill la kill was the only anime i've ever watched in full lmao

space dandy is kinda fun, it kinda feels more like a western cartoon with all the wacky shit and lack of continuity between episodes
space dandy looks GOD AWFUL but i'll have to add it because it's popular

6856
Spice and Wolf was still great. Idk what trope you're on about. I assume you saw Holo naked and immediately cringed and thought "UGH FANSERVICE" or something
that's certainly a big part of it, there's virtually no way to make that sort of thing tolerable, especially when it's always a young attractive female and never anything else, because that wouldn't be pleasing to the assumed male audience

most of my problems with the show revolve almost entirely around holo who is one of my least favorite female characters ever

but also

>shitty, generic, unadventurous artsyle

>draw an underage girl for sex appeal
>call it a several hundred year old god so it's perfectly acceptable to jerk off and sexually exploit her

>trite "will they or won't they" type romance story with two "opposites attract" type characters

>female character does annoying shit that's supposed to be cute but it's actually just really annoying

fucking garbage

Nvm

if you're giving Spirited Away a meager 5, then yeah
what do you mean

i wonder what rating verb would give hunter x hunter 2011
i'll get to this, but i can tell you right now that i hate the character designs

But a dog is a dope animal, and a really good family member.

A dog is flawless.

It achieves everything it sets out to do.

Nevermind the fact that they have the glaring flaw of being able to die and that they're a little dumb, which fuels the first one.

But it doesn't set out to live forever so that isn't a flaw.
i think you realize how tenuous and lackadaisical this argument is, so i won't entertain it

also dying is great
most sarcasm neither seeks nor warrants response

so yeah
i realize you're being sarcastic, but i'm saying that the underlying point you're making is tenuous and lackadaisical
I did not refute that.
so are you just done or what
I've run out of serious things to say.

I maintain that Zelda is mired with imperfections, and that some of the imperfections jested over in this video are reasons the series lost my interest.
ur enditled to that o🅱️inion sir :DDD

but honestly, call me a fanboy, but the franchise (when taken as a whole) is technically flawless
holy shit i'd never thought of that
I need this explained to me because I'm a simpleton.
is zelda, at its core, a flawed franchise?

can you think of anything that zelda, as a franchise or collective, does wrong? something that goes beyond what you personally dislike?

you can point out flaws in individual games, sure, but as a collective, what flaws does the franchise have as a whole?

to test it, try to see if you can do the same with other franchises

personally, as much as i love pokémon, the franchise has a lot of (what i'd consider to be) objective flaws that are rife throughout the entire series

•Because if entertainment doesn't entertain someone who pays money to be entertained, it's an abject failure.
you say that as though i'm disputing it

are you familiar with the philosophical concept of pluralism

it refers to when things have multiple states of being—like, dogs can be thought of as animals and/or as family

most people become familiar with this concept at age 2

video games can be both an entertainment medium and an art form

•If flaws had to be based in objectivity, there would be no such thing as subjectivity.
first of all, i said "some level" of objectivity, in concession with the idea that we'll never know true objectivity

also

Quote
•They're also definitively entertainment, and therefore not purely, and solely, art, like you're trying to pitch games as.
i never stated otherwise

snake may disagree, i personally make the concession that video games are both

i WISH video games were purely an art form, but they're not

6866
When you market a piece of art as entertainment, you forfeit immunity to the "it's boring" argument.
but why

Quote
Being boring, or failing to grasp interest, is a flaw in all entertainment.
flaws have to be rooted in some level of objectivity

just because we can never fully grasp objectivity doesn't mean we can't have an idea

i don't understand how your personal taste means anything
Quote
They're interactive blockbuster movies more often than not just out to make a buck.
blockbuster movies are art too

6867
your disinterest in the franchise comes down to your personal taste, but your personal taste does not dictate whether something is "flawless" or not when you're trying to be objective

there are movies out there that i don't enjoy, but i'd have to concede that they are technically flawless regardless of my personal distaste

that doesn't mean they're perfect; it means that the director succeeded in everything that he attempted to do, and i can't argue with that—and i can tell you one thing: "pleasing everybody" is one thing that is NOT on any artist's agenda (or at least, any artist with an ounce of wisdom)

6868
Oh, sorry.

I forgot being boring isn't a fundamental flaw in entertainment.
i'm looking at zelda as an artistic oeuvre, not a piece of entertainment

sometimes art is boring, and not everyone is gonna like certain pieces of art

personally i find most zelda titles exhilarating and beautiful

6869
legend of zelda is perfect on a conceptual level in the same way as tetris. this is life changing.
Tetris isn't perfect either.

name a single flaw.
If a game isn't universally appealing to everyone, it isn't perfect.
I have always found Tetris boring.
"perfect" is a really, really loaded word, and i bet even you realize that

personally, i draw a distinction between perfection and flawlessness

a director intends to make a movie where he just films a soup bowl for ten seconds—and he does it

flawless movie? yes
does it appeal to everybody? no
perfect movie? define "perfect"

6870
but honestly, call me a fanboy, but the franchise (when taken as a whole) is technically flawless
No. Not at all.
it does and succeeds at everything that it sets out to do
No it doesn't.
fuck

you convinced me
