No, the patch was 100% to homogenize Bayonetta.

 

[ChikoLad]

This nerf to Bayonetta was great. I think she is still a really good character. The best? Probably not.

Proto's right....

He says Probably not the best...

How's that translate to she's still the best?


The maps are different which at least makes the gameplay unique, so it's not to bad. The story gets good at that point, and did you get

as a unit? It's a pretty awesome random choice imo. I like that you get him.

My phone was displaying it weirdly then, as it stopped neatly after the "Probably".

My bad.

Ironically, this debate would lead me to lose chunks of my own dinner about four minutes ago. It was probably Karma's way of saying that I was wrong and merely circlejerked until the eventual hurling.

Now I am in need of Ginger Ale and sleep for the night.

Ah I see.

Smashboards doesn't work well from my phone either. It either will take forever to load, or load inaccurately. It's weird as my wii u displayed the site better.

I'm starting realise Heaven's Lost Property may be one of my favourite animes.

I've been re-watching some of my favourite scenes and listening to the soundtrack a lot.

The soundtrack is definitely amazing, for sure, probably my favourite anime soundtrack.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Looking at the older Family Guy episodes, they had quite some charm to them without relying on the most ridiculous of shock humor. The characters like Brian and especially Louis were much more likable at the time. Even the charters felt real at the time.

Comparing that to the current seasons, it's the same old tired cutaway gags with no rhythm along with more shock humor for the sake of it. Hell, the entire Griffin family (even Meg) would grow to be much more unlikable due to severe Flanderization. But don't get me started on the side characters, especially Quagmire.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Maybe it was because I stayed away from Family Guy for many years (it isn't exactly meant for children lol) for years, but I've never liked the show. Even when I look at it now, there isn't much I can find that I like out of it.

I've never fully understood the appeal of it.

Similar to South Park and Simpsons it has some generally 'stupid' comedy to it...One thing about Family Guy is that it has a sense of relatability that makes some things funny...such as when Peter hurts his knee and clutches it in pain...'I know that feeling, so that makes it funny' type deal...

 

[LegendOfZeldaNut]

Hey guys what did I miss-oh God. A new patch, a Bayo nerf and holy mother of backlash. I never thought I'd be thankful for EOG's and MSL's, but if it keeps me safe in Vault 627 (it's a joke, if that's a real vault I had no clue) I'm all for it. Also, anything else happen during my hiatus? (I had to study)

In ALL 50 states, Team Iron Man is favored

I found some funny comments about how Cap was for the people's interest while Iron Man was for the Corporate Interest

Wait seriously? I thought Team Cap was more popular. I guess the fact that I myself was favoring could have biaised my view.

What about the rest of the world? Is there other info aside from in the USA?

I'm seeing kids having a real fun time with my Pokemon toys, it makes me smile a little. They're pretty smart! I asked them if they liked YW, and absolutely love it! I gave them the medals that I already have a copy of and one of my YW books imported from JPN. They said they watched all of the YW episodes on Netflix, and they have such a lively discussion about the show it's so cute!

Witnessing such love for the franchise is an amazing feeling as a fan.

Ironically I feel like it was the otherway around...

Cap's line of thinking is generally why people go to war, while Ironman was thinking more along the lines of guilt for the casualties that happen during the war...

Cap: "What we do saves people"
Ironman: "What we do kills people"

A lot of Americans are fed up with war in general and a fair number of them have also lost loved ones in war...

Or I'm just looking too deeply into it and they were team Ironman because of Spidey...

Captain America follows my ideals of government having smaller power, while Iron Man wants the government to enforce more power for the safety of it's people. That's the way I see it

I lean toward being Libertarian, so of course I would support Captain America

Besides, Captain America 2 showed that the government can very well be corrupt

I haven't actually SEEN Captain America Civil War yet, so I don't know what differences they made in the movie

That's actually a very good point you got there. Didn't thought about it.

I supported Cap mainly because they were actually fighting to save the people from a greater threat...Collateral happens, but if nothing was done far greater losses would've happened...And the threats that occur were way out of the league of any normal government military...

I suggest you go see it...it's a good film, imo the best Captain America film...though I kinda don't consider it strictly a "Captain America" film as it's pretty much The Avengers minus Thor and Hulk...I think of it more as a Captain America vs. Ironman in a way...

It goes beyond that, really.

Spoiler: Light Civil War spoilers, plus previous film spoilers

Stark's whole thing stems from accountability, more so than tyranny. After all that's happened with him, he realizes they need to be put in check. The big turning point in the first Iron Man film for him was when he realized how dangerous his weapons of war were, and instead focused on using his suits for good after he escapes in the first Iron Man suit. Since then he's been kind of atoning for his past (the effects of which are still seen in later films, as with that one woman's son being killed in Ultron's uprising, or Wanda and Pietro's parents being killed by Stark-made weapons). After receiving a vision of a ruined future in Age of Ultron, he tries to essentially play god to stop that vision from happening and ends up creating Ultron, which nearly ends all life on Earth. He sees firsthand what happens when they're left unchecked and are given too much power, and feels that if there's oversight, odds of them going beyond what they should are lessened.


Cap, meanwhile, looks at what he sees as the bigger picture. The number of deaths in the incidents in New York, Washington DC, and Sokovia would have been much higher had it not been for Avenger intervention. Add to that, Cap is a WW2 vet, so he's familiar with the concept of war casualties. His best friend was thought to be one. Adding to this, he's also seen what could happen if governments and organizations get corrupted and power-hungry, as with the infiltration of SHIELD by HYDRA in The Winter Soldier, or when the World Security Counsel voted to nuke New York in response to the Chitauri (which, by the way, was also a HYDRA move, as Agents of SHIELD revealed).

Both sides go much deeper than pro/anti registration. Of note, Steve was seriously considering signing until Tony basically called Wanda a WMD. Cap cares about his team, and cares about what they do. That's often what's considered Cap's biggest character flaw: he can't live without a war. He's been fighting his whole life; it's all he knows. Age of Ultron actually does a really good job of exploring this.

The whole theme of Freedom vs Control is a great one. What makes it even better is that the teams are designed around the theme in a bajillion ways. Look at Cap's team. It's people down on their luck. Criminals. People who want to atone and friends wanting to give them that chance. They focus more on the personal relationships. Not what society has deemed them.

Meanwhile, Iron Man's team has people in power. A rich man. A king. A practical god. Control isn't just what the government wants. It's what Team Iron Man has always had. They understand it more and understand that society needs it.

The teams have so many themes. You could spin it so many ways. It's quite amazing.

Going off of that, I just find it funny that, besides Cap himself, Falcon's really the only one with a clean slate. Considering Scott's an ex-con, Clint and Bucky have both murdered people under the influence of mind control, and Wanda knowingly aided Ultron in order to get revenge on Stark. Funny thing is that it's basically lifted right from the comics, with one of Cap's earliest decisions as leader of the Avengers was to let Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver (then, all wanted terrorists and criminals) join the Avengers.

Poor Sam though. Never was a criminal in the MCU before the Accords.

My issue with MoS and BvS is that Superman doesn't seem like the light of the Justice, the guy that's easy to look up to and doesn't save citizens or Metropolis because it's the right thing to do.


Nope, he's less of a hero but more a marytr that does the things he does so the world won't hate him and they still do. Plus trying to give him a darker edge in his character where he's a lot more depressed and self-loathing like Batman doesn't work when you have the same character that are SUPPOSED to be total opposites.

It's like people want DC heroes to be all like Batman have that darker, brooding edge in design and characteristics. It's like people ignore what other writers established in the comics or what Bruce Timm did and go for the Frank Millar route.


TL;DR:
I like my Superman having confidence and isn't a ***** who would let his city and people go to hell

All-Star Superman is pretty close in that regard.


I just like the villains in The Elite.

I watched Man of Steel twice, and I did enjoy it.
Maybe it's because I wasn't expecting anything when I was going to watch it for the first time, but I still find the critism towards it to be a little too harsh and inconvenient.

Though I also was disappointed with Batman V. Superman.

The American one is way too nice. It's like he causes trouble by accident.

UK Dennis is an absolute rebel.

To be fair, the American Dennis was more of an intentional trouble maker in his original incarnation until he was put on TV and de-fanged.

Spoiler

Fuga

as a unit? It's a pretty awesome random choice imo. I like that you get him.

Spoiler

I've obtained Fuga as a unit sometime around after Chapter 17 or 18 from what I remember (I upgraded my hot spring to level 3 around that point, which is how I got him). He makes a pretty solid replacement for Izana. He came in as a Master of Arms at Level 10 with some already really high stats, a B weapon rank in swords, and a C weapon rank in lances and axes. I've decided to pair him with Hayato for my playthrough because Hayato will be the only unit that won't have a child, and I want to make use of him somehow. From what I've experienced thus far, Fuga is a pretty solid unit overall, and will probably be useful from now until the end of the game.
