My main issue with JRPGs is the overall lack of Female MCs.
You're always the plucky young man hero, it's just boring to me.

I'm aware there are some but it's still very skewed towards male MCs.
I'm pretty sure once you dig past the surface mainstream games JRPGs have some of the most amount of female protagonists of all gaming genres besides VNs/interactive adventures. And maybe survival horror?

They could still throw a molotov through your window and make you come out.

lmao I love that mental image. Instead of using their ancient supernatural powers they could just gun you down with a blicky. Imagine a vampire with a sniper rifle aiming inside a window because they can't enter it.

I don't like the age difference argument at all. It doesn't matter if your partner is a similar age the creation and distribution of erotic pictures of children is illegal, period. Doesn't matter if the person who made it is underage they still broke the law by creating it and then sending it out and if the boyfriend kept it he is also breaking the law. It's not moral because they are similar ages they both broke the law and pretty sure most underage people know what they are doing in that instance is illegal. I'm firmly against mandatory minimums but let's not pretend the argument of small age gap somehow makes the action not problematic. How often do high school sweethearts stay together? Is that picture going to stay in his private file once they break up? When he's 30 or 40 is he still going to have it and still be looking at it?

That isn't what- *sees MAGA tag*

RE6's story being what it is is still so funny to me
I still find it really funny how that is by far the most globally devastating incident in all of RE with Carla becoming the closest to destroying the world but it's pretty much never mentioned again other than a brief reference to Edonia in RE7 DLC and nobody cares to mention Carla or Simmons despite regular references to other incident perpetrators.

yeah 7 is campy but i still enjoyed how eerie it was with remake 1 the horror vibes and feeling of dread for me was higher in those games compared to the rest

Oh for sure. They're definitely on the more atmospheric side for RE. Still rocking shotguns, magnums, and grenade launchers at the end though. Not that it's a bad thing of course. It's very cathartic.

How was Village?
I loved it! I've replayed it 3 times already and intend to replay it 3 more times (one would be a casual run speedrun for the achievement though) The gameplay is honestly one of the best after RE4. Plotline could be better and more coherent but the emotional beats hit well and the 5 villains are some of the most memorable in the series. 7 and 8 really did the antagonists well by characterizing all of them personally instead of having them only really show up at their final confrontations.

Not really a hot take. It transitioned into "action/horror" starting with RE4 tho recent games are trying to get back in touch with their survival horror roots.

gikos posted...
pretty much tho 7 and remake 1 did better in creepy horror vibes right most of the series is mostly action flicks

Even 7 and remake 1 are more campy and action-oriented than psychological horror of stuff like Silent Hill. 7 has Jack being an absolute riot and referencing Evil Dead 2 with a chainsaw scissor duel and driving donuts in a garage. Remake keeps the Jill Sandwich lines and "wesker you've gone senile!"

Even the first is ridiculously campy and goes action scifi at the end.

Meta Knight is a villain turned good(?). Same for Protoman. In fact, Zero is the best example of a character-type most commonly misattributed as an antihero.
Batman is a vigilante, like almost every other super. He actively works with local law enforcement.
He's not rude, he's curt. I'd love to see Batman telling Superman to go fuck himself.
He works alone except all the times he teams up and coordinates with other superheroes. He's not just a founding member of the JL, but often the one to actively hold it together. He's also got a revolving door of bat-family who fight crime with him.

And if we're using Wikipedia as an authority:
I actually think Megamind is the best example of what makes an antihero on there. Not because he's secretly heroic, but because he's a loser through and through. He's a coward, uncharismatic, kinda dumb, socially stunted, etc. The only thing he's missing is the impending sense of doom. In that regard, having a criminal MC is an easy way to make an antihero. Tony Soprano is another good one, clearly flawed human and not heroic.


Meta Knight is still seen as an anti-hero as is Batman as is noted in their wikipedia articles.

Wikipeda also outright says Walt is an anti-hero turned villain front and center.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_White_(Breaking_Bad%29

An antihero[a] turned villain protagonist as the series progresses, Walter becomes increasingly ruthless and unsympathetic, as the series' creator, Vince Gilligan, wanted him to turn from "Mr. Chips into Scarface"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_of_the_Author

Not to say Walter is an anti-hero but just because the creator says a thing doesn't mean it can't be interpreted as something else by the audience.

If we're not using "official neutral classification" then that would speak even more to one's personal morals and values.

Thinking Walter is an anti-hero isnt a worldview... >_>
Not one person in my personal life would ever say those things about me, because they know it isn't true. I even have a suspicion that you wouldn't say these things to me IRL because it would sound absurd.

If you can't accept something as simple as the creator of the character themselves saying you're wrong then it's not a stretch to see it happening with more meaningful worldviews too. But like I've said, I'm also basing it on other things I've seen from you. And of course you're hypocritical about this since I've seen you immediately jumping on judging others for their casual "online" takes as well.

In most interpretations of Batman he's a straight hero. Has a no-kill policy, strong heroic morals, not afraid of challenging other superheroes when they break said morals. There's no anti about him, he's a hero who wears black.

He's a vigilante who breaks the laws to do what he does. He's rude and often likes to work alone over cooperating with others. His modus operandi is striking fear into others. The whole point of the no-kill policy is that he'd be crossing a line into irredeemable because of the lines he already crosses. These aren't ideal heroic traits. Meta Knight is basically a much straighter hero than him and Meta Knight is considered an anti-hero.

ChocoboMogALT posted...
In no way is Meursault heroic. If you think Holden Caulfield is heroic you might need to see a therapist. Clint Eastwood in the Dollars trilogy is ethically closer to Walter White than Batman. Hell, Rorschach is Batman if Batman was actually an antihero.

That's literally the point. TC was actively calling Walt heroic in that thread. If you think calling Holden Caulfield heroic means someone needs to see a therapist then you're proving my point. He didn't have the literary definition in mind at all in the beginning until he could conveniently use the wikipedia entry to validate himself.

I'm not seeing how thinking WW is an anti-hero, or even hero, means that someone is a Nazi sympathizer, transphobe, and sexist, or even a bigot in general. At worst, he's simply wrong.

Whatever went down in that other thread must've been huge to spark such a, seemingly, obsessed and weird derailment like this.

Yeah you should read that thread (unfortunately site seems down right now so you have to wait a bit). He was way worse in it and doubling down on awful takes.

I linked to the wiki multiple times, I'm not sure, but I think it was you that called using Wikipedia a poor source.

I didn't, no. I did point out however that wikipedia's article was simply as broad as possible and that wikipedia also called Walt a villain. The creators themselves called Walt a villain. It is undeniable that Walt is a villain.

I got 2.

Also threw a regular egg at Salazar's portrait for a sidequest. I've done every single sidequest in the game so far. Also collected every treasure on the map for both areas so far. Only thing I've probably missed are some Salazar statues. I think I'm at like 9? But I have been scrubbing this entire game. Every single area.

I actually really like stealthing in this. Fun and rewarding. Plus if it all goes tits up then oh well.

Huh. So the JJs are just the big head guys now.

Aw shit. Regenerator time.

Fuck! Yeah that's as scary as ever. Just running my ass off.

Got the thermal scope. Made sure to take out every Regenerator one by one. If I didn't, they'd probably all bust out at some point.

Got another assault rifle too. I'll store it for now.

I see you're a fellow completionist of culture

Walter White doesn't fit the modern definition of anti-hero, but fits more classical definitions to a T. Protagonist lacking heroic qualities, utterly flawed, ultimately doomed to failure (one way or another), villain from outside perspectives, etc. Seriously look up classical examples of anti-heroes. Immediately my mind goes to Madame Bovary, any Kafka protag, Meursault, Heathcliff, Holden Caulfield.

Batman is not an antihero.

The classical definition of anti-hero doesn't exclude the protagonist from being a villain which is what TC was heavily arguing against, treating the two as exclusive. Batman is a modern anti-hero now though, which is noted in his Wikipedia article, which TC kept propping up for himself but ignored when things that went against his worldview.

GeraldDarko posted...
Anti-heros dont have to be good or moral people. Don't know why you keep saying in think he's some noble hero.

They do, yes. They have to be something that's heroic. Simply being a protagonist isn't it. That's a villain protagonist. If you want to use the outdated classical definition that's still a villain protagonist.

i know the term"anti-hero" but i'm not sure i fully understand "anti-villain"
that feels more like something you'd put on Zuko in Last Airbender that WW

Anti-hero is a hero without fully heroic presentation. Anti-villain is a villain without fully villainous presentation (such as having a sympathetic motivation or backstory or having overall noble standards and personality even if otherwise villainous). Mike and Saul are anti-villains. Walt is barely an anti-villain and is much closer to a full villain with only a single redeeming quality in genuinely loving his family (which the Salamancas and Jack the Nazi do too) despite putting his own interests above them.

YaBoyRoshi, one of the big reaction channels on Youtube which has three enormous weebs, gave up after the third episode.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Nz9j18MzI0

At 3:19, the editor speeds up a scene and it's still fifteen full seconds of slow panning across a still image. And that's just the one still image, the scenes they show immediately before and after are two people sitting down with the only visible animation being a gorilla setting down a cup of coffee.

At 8:17, the episode's big fight scene is so bad that Sheera just bursts out laughing because it's so garbage and choppy.

And at 10:47, they talk about how it's so badly animated. Roshi says that anime is meant to enhance what's in the manga, but the animation is so bad that it's making it worse. You're still getting a still image, you may as well read the manga where the image is better illustrated.

I've never watched OPM, I have no stake in this game, but goddamn the animation in this video alone. I've seen more fluid animatic for Epic: The Musical people made for free on Youtube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glYh3O2Rcz8
Roshi is great and they watch a TON of stuff so the fact they actually gave up on this says a lot.

I've been to a bunch of states and Canada, England, France, Italy, and Greece. I went to Seattle for a month on my own just to do it. I've hung around educated intellectuals, blue collar works, people with disabilities, thieves, drug dealers, dorks, popular people. I've got a lot of life experience, I even lived a little too much, in my younger years. I've seen a lot.

If true, while you may have actually traveled out of your home, you've still been to less places and experienced less than I have so you don't have anything to say here.

That's been the crux of your arguments. You've also called me a hypocrite, but the only the only thing our points have in common is that they're judgments. Other than that you've only had empty words and vagaries. You're truly an internet kid. It seems as though your foundation for understanding the world is primarily based on the internet and fictional media. There's so much more out there, man.

I haven't disingenuously ignored anything of yours. And yes, that's the hypocrisy. You're clearly very lacking in self-awareness. Just repeating things that applies to yourself even more. You've been going on about how I don't know anything about you other than your internet comments yet you've immediately made an assumption of me out of me criticizing what I've seen of you. I'm positive I've seen more of the world than you have. From what I've seen of you, you're someone who really likes watching channels of random crackheads on youtube with single digit views and I have doubts you've even traveled out of your home state.

Because I think Walter White is an anti-hero and he's a bad person, I must too be a bad person. That's been you're argument and it's a poor one.

Disingenuously Ignoring everything else that's been said like a troll is also a good indicator.

I need to reflect on anti-heros and my cannabis usage? I need to reflect on being hypocritical for making a judgement that is based on a direct relation vs one that is vague and convoluted? I dont think I do. Unless there's something else I need to think on. Honestly, some of the moral superiority you seem to be trying to assert seems to only be surface level. You have a idea of what you should say, but lack depth and wisdom.

Way to miss the point which is becoming a pattern with you. You should reflect on your questionable morals and the hypocrisy of your generalization of things you don't understand then getting upset when people generalize you. And now comes the part where you just deflect from yourself since the last two sentences apply to you much more.

you keep saying TC says he's a hero, TC says he said anti-hero. these are different things, and anti-hero most certainly does not mean they're a good person, or that you align with their beliefs or actions by calling them such. it's a character archetype. just pointing this out, idk if you're deliberately misrepresenting this or what was actually said

This was explained indepth in that topic. He's an anti-villain (and even barely that), not an anti-hero. Anti-heroes are still on the good guy side or working with the good guys with a heroic goal or overall actions even if their behavior and morality aren't ideal. Hank is an anti-hero. Walter's goals and actions are evil and the only good actions he does is kill even worse villains which just makes it a case of evil vs evil. TC kept insisting as if Walter's goals and actions weren't actually that bad and was relatable. He kept using things like "being powerful, cunning, and charismatic" as elements of a hero, ignoring how this would apply to villains like the Salamancas or even the Nazis. He ignored the creators themselves calling Walt a villain.

You see the difference between having a penchant for children is suspicious as to pedophilia vs thinking Walter is an anti-hero being suspicious as to being transphopic and a nazi sympathizer, right. The causality should jump out at you. It does to me, and I'm just some idiot that doesn't have any comprehension.

No, it was stuff like quoting The Office and the fact that you immediately jump to assuming pedophilia is exactly part of the point. Genuinely believing and doubling down Walter was a hero is definitely suspicious of someone potentially having bigoted tendencies. And you know, given who Walter literally worked with.

Just something I'm observed from your history including the aforementioned topic and this one. The subject of your substance use is that you're often incoherent so I'm not sure if you understand what you yourself are saying at times. Although I will point out that you talking about being judged for your posts makes others shallow is ironic given that I've seen you immediately judge others for posting weird and "sus" takes yourself.

From that topic I have been called transpobic, a Nazi sympathizer, a flat out bad person, and now sexist. All this over think Walter was an anti-hero. It's a simple difference of opinion. I think making it about my person character is immature internet behavior and likely a indicator of a lack of personal depth.

What are you talking about? I was agreeing with Murphiroth about you having a personal issue on your end. You just said you existed. You meant sexist? Although I wouldn't say you're consciously sexist you do have that toxically masculine casual narrow-mindedness. Doesn't help you seem to regularly be on substances.
