The Like/Hate Thread - Rem-13 - 06-11-2011 You know who hates hipsters the most? Hipsters. The Like/Hate Thread - Jonathan Meer - 06-11-2011 I was going to say I like hipsters, but now that being hipster is hating hipsters, being hipster is liking hipsters. EDIT: It's like trying to define art. Delineate your definition all you want, and fifteen seconds after you've finished it, some irate Frenchman will flip a urinal upside down, scribble a pseudonym on it, and have it featured in the Tate Modern. The Like/Hate Thread - Jarka - 06-11-2011 Ashe Wrote:You say that, and yet I just decided that I was feeling too lethargic and had too much of an urge to go practice my greatest vampire in its coffin impression. So I just dropped a 5hr Energy shot. Don't do it, man! I was up for, like, 42 hours or some shit like that. Granted, I drank a full Monster and hardly ate anything and then in the morning I had a double latte, but still. Also, I discovered that too much energy + not enough sleep = poor spending decisions.

Granted, I drank a full Monster and hardly ate anything and then in the morning I had a double latte, but still. Negative - poor spending decisions are when you are hungry and tired and decide to stop at the grocery store for a half gallon of milk that ends up costing you about $100.

I just hate people who follow trends and do things to seem cool, and not because they actually just enjoy them. You know what's cool? Being yourself and not giving a fuck. The Like/Hate Thread - Kaden - 06-11-2011 Milk Bubble Wrote:I just hate people who follow trends and do things to seem cool, and not because they actually just enjoy them. The problem with that generalization is that, often, people simply didn't know about X until it became "cool." Then, once they knew about it, they found out they liked it. The iPhone, for example. It went through that "its too cool so I can't like it" period. Then people were all "man, this thing is handy" and it moved on to simply being a thing.

Then, once they knew about it, they found out they liked it. But then there were people who just bought it because they tried it out and liked it, and didn't really give a fuck what the current general public thought of it. That was my point, heh. The Like/Hate Thread - Super Buu - 06-11-2011 Like: Metroid marathon. SOOO MUCH GOODNESS. Hate: Deep paper cut right down the inside of my index finger. RIGHT THROUGH THE FUCKIN CREASES MAN. WHY The Like/Hate Thread - Kaden - 06-11-2011 Milk Bubble Wrote:But then there were people who just bought it because they tried it out and liked it, and didn't really give a fuck what the current general public thought of it. Yeah. I get that. MY point was that a lot of people don't know to try it until the "general public" has any thoughts on it. Yeah, being an early adopter is cool or whatever, but sometimes things just need exposure and it's dumb to denigrate people because they didn't know about something until lots of people were using it. The Like/Hate Thread - Super Buu - 06-11-2011 Hate: Other M reviews. Not just because it was a great game, but because it's a major discouragement to trying anything new with the Metroid franchise in the future. And yeah, I'm late, but I've been playing through again and remembering just how goddamn fun it is, easily worth the marks other Metroid games have gotten. Pretty much all the complaints have centered around the story, which I really liked for the most part, or equally-frequent complaints of it being too easy or too hard (which is pretty amusing). I really hope Nintendo doesn't buckle and backpedal on all the cool changes, but it's hard when they do this new stuff and it just gets knocked for taking a different approach. The Like/Hate Thread - Nori - 06-12-2011 Didn't they make Samus into a little bitch? The Like/Hate Thread - Super Buu - 06-12-2011 They portrayed her as not-flawless. God forbid Samus show emotion or weakness. But if you read the manga (which was written by the same dude who did all the Metroid stories besides the Prime games) or play Fusion, you see there that she's got some demons too. It's just that in most games, they let you fill in the blanks, so people are pissed off that it contradicts their perfect vision of Samus.

It's just that in most games, they let you fill in the blanks, so people are pissed off that it contradicts their perfect vision of Samus. Eh, I thought it was (from what I have read, I haven't played the game yet) because she's sort of portrayed as being in an emotionally abusive "relationship". It wasn't so much that she showed emotion or weakness, it was that she did so in such a seemingly uncharacteristic way to a man more than willing to dominate her to the point of manipulation. Considering how few truly strong female characters there are in video games, it was kind of a slap in the face to give her a personal dynamic that "puts her in her place." Again, this is just what I've read about it. The Like/Hate Thread - Super Buu - 06-12-2011 I already said why it's seemingly uncharacteristic - because people have made up their own personalities for her based on being an ultimate feminist rolemodel. As far as I'm concerned, being flawed makes her a better character. I mean, she watched her parents get killed in front of her, then got raised by a bunch of foster-aliens who were then pretty much all massacred too. Any character that's not a bit fucked up after all that is not very believable. Latching onto her commanding officer as a father figure may not be the most BAMF thing to do, but it makes a lot of sense considering her background. Then the end of Super Metroid, which immediately precedes the game. So yeah, she's got a lot of reasons to not be perfect. I wouldn't really call Adam abusive, that's just reading into things too much. They just needed a way to limit her powers without coming up with some story about losing them all and having to regain them, so they had Adam be a bossy git about it. They had to do it somehow. He's manipulative in that "for your own good" kinda way, which culminates in him *SPOILERS*[spoiler]locking Samus out and then sacrificing himself.[/spoiler] The Like/Hate Thread - John Doe - 06-12-2011 Unrelated Like: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/extra-credits/3126-Learning-from-Other-M The Like/Hate Thread - Super Buu - 06-12-2011 ^I won't deny that they could have presented the story a lot better. I mean, it's no Portal 2 by any stretch. But I could pick apart a lot of his points. Part of the problem behind people's surprise is that the manga, which is the official backstory and helps make perfect sense of Other M's story, has no official English translation. The Like/Hate Thread - Kaden - 06-12-2011 Rose Wrote:^I won't deny that they could have presented the story a lot better. I mean, it's no Portal 2 by any stretch. But I could pick apart a lot of his points. Doe actually beat me to linking that. I pretty much agree 100% with their analysis of Other M's presentation. I have absolutely no problem with Samus being a flawed or troubled character, but, as you yourself said, there's stuff about her that the players know or can infer from the other games. Other M either abuses or simply ignores those things, I thought. I honestly would have liked the game more if it hadn't been attached to the Metroid series. EDIT: Oh. And the voice acting. That can neither be defended nor excused. Just... wow... I thought the mechanics made it a lot of fun to play, though I'd probably side with the "a bit too easy" crowd. Regardless, the final boss fight was a blast (I mean the final, final boss fight, not the final story-boss fight) and I actually greatly appreciated that they created a mostly-suitable control scheme using just the remote. Not having to use the nunchuck or a classic controller is a nice change of pace. The Like/Hate Thread - Jarka - 06-12-2011 Hate: The Escapist refuses to load for me anymore. I always get a server taking too long page. The Like/Hate Thread - Super Buu - 06-13-2011 Like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSiUCwgzvI8 Correct way to smash stuff. The Like/Hate Thread - Milk Bubble - 06-13-2011 Hate: Being hot. Fuck this. Waff, let's move to Canada. |
