Twin Snakes isn't terrible but some cutscenes are horrendous and easily mocked (
) and I dislike some music changes. It does have far better audio quality for the dialogue over the original dub.

With the other titles

I actually prefer Metal Gear Rising to the Kojima titles that followed.

Raiden's personality completely changes in 4 for the worse, Rising brings him back in line, everything in it is actually foreshadowed in MGS2 and MGS4. Brings back an actual fun miniboss squad and things that are missing post 3.

The HD version of Peace Walker is alot of fun, especially if you play it co-op although the story gets really stupid, especially concerning the Boss and the main villain. Control scheme on the PSP isn't the best.

Totally ignore Portable Ops, lame story and the gameplay is painfully slow. Although there are a few good things like Python, it doesn't reedem the rest.

4 has neat gameplay ideas (that can really only be used in Act 1 and 2), but is heavily bloated by cutscenes and has quite a number of awful story decisions. It definitely has to be gone through but I don't think the game is that great.

V has some good gameplay but the mission structure is awful and the plot is easily the worst in the series. Although personally I found Ground Zeroes to be great for what it was, actually makes better use of some of the mechanics.

That's it for the canon titles.... Well aside from the odd tie-in for Ghost Babel.

Oh yeah I did go back to the house. Cool scene but it wasnt enough imo. I liked their relationship as well and how it progressed. Im not saying it was a bad game but it did leave me wanting a bit more from it.

Also Atreus being Loki just doesnt do much for me, considering they arent really sticking to the lore - what with making Odin and Thor evil and all that. I mean, it was like oh, thats cool but that was about it for me.

Im looking forward to the sequel for sure.


Odin and Thor aren't exactly upstanding citizens in mythology.


Odin did lots of shit, Loki calls him out for not being too far off.

Thor other than his ridiculous hatred for Giants is chill and anything he does is pretty much because they started it.

This game makes them ridiculously evil while making the Giants clean.

Really the one thing that annoyed me about it actually.

I really did enjoy the game other than that.

I'm not even going to keep arguing with you if you won't admit you are wrong about them sensing Frieza's ki.

They sense Sorbet and Tagoma.

They don't sense Frieza at all. They talk about the presence they already sensed leaving (those being Tagoma and Sorbet)

Because honestly if I'm going to try debating with someone who just stomps around and never admits he's wrong it's not fun to do.

End of.

I don't think the Cell Jr. Thing is an asspull at all.

There are things Super does like Goku somehow knowing how to copy Hakai without seeing it, that are but not this.

Keep thinking what you want, if you won't consider someone else there is no point.

And thus they felt it. Just because they didn't immediately check it out doesn't mean they wouldn't have eventually. The whole reason Sorbet and Tagoma quickly left was because they knew someone would come after them if they stayed. Trunks and Krilin didn't immediately go after Cell's energy when they felt him; they still went to check it out eventually. Nothing suggests that the Z Fighters wouldn't have eventually come after Freeza's energy had Freeza stayed on Earth.

Furthermore, Freeza's ki was small upon being revived as he needed to be healed; thus, they have less of an incentive to immediately go to where his energy is. The Cell Jrs would have been far stronger than the weakened Freeza (they were above buff SS at birth. The Zenkai they would have gotten from Gohan would have brought them far higher than that, too), so the Z Fighters would have more reason to check them out. There's no comparison here.


Except they didn't feel Freiza's ki you.

They felt Sorbet and Tagoma's ki.

You were wrong.

The Cell Jrs aren't going to be going Max power because they were scared of Gohan, again. They started trying to flee as Gohan was brutalizing them, they can conceal ki since Cell did it too like the Z-Warriors.

And yes, eventually they would have checked it out, but since Tagoma and Sorbet were there for minutes and they ignored it after they couldn't feel it.... Why would that be a different case?

And thus you're talking out of your ass. The fact you're going to such desperate lengths to defend garbage writing, so desperate that you're coming up with your own head canon, is pitiful


You were flat out wrong dude.

So maybe stop thinking of your own head canon and consider the facts.

And again, you stated that you don't even like the series. So why do you keep caring anyhow?

LOL yes they fucking did. They all felt Freeza's Ki come back when he was resurrected. In literally all versions of Resurrection F's story (the movie, the promotional manga and DBS's anime).


No they don't dude.

Literally made me go watch the movie to confirm.

Gohan and Piccolo sense Sorbet and Tagoma go "that energy feels evil and familiar" decide not to check it out.

Then remark that it's gone after they leave.

Wrong again. Cell has Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Freeza and King Cold's energies all in one being. That applies to the Cell Juniors, as they're his children. The Z Fighters logically shouldn't assume everything's fine if they randomly felt Goku, Freeza and King Cold's energies on Earth when Goku, Freeza and King Cold were all dead.


They initially mistake Cell when they first sense him, then focus in on it and notice. Specifically noting the energy readings matching specific people when they mimic attacks.

LOL, there is no reason why their energy would undetectable when they're literally Cell's children. Cell has detecable energy; so should his children. Only cyborgs and robots lack energy. This is you just reaching.


I will admit that is me fishing, no doubt.

But again, they don't bother to immediately check out Sorbet even though they describe it as evil. So it's pretty clear they aren't always on top of things. Think of how powerful Uub was and how nobody noticed before.

For someone who hates Dragon Ball, you sure seem to follow it very closely.

6. Cell's ki felt like their own, regardless they don't pay attention to a lot anyhow

Everyone instantly felt it when Freiza was revived, how can they not sense 7 significantly higher power levels?


No they didn't.

They detected him after he returned months later and decided to blow up towns and power up to let them know he had returned.

When he was first brought back in Earth's orbit they don't show them react.

They confused Cell's energy readings with Piccolo when they first saw him, they aren't constantly interacting either.

To add they never specifically mention the Cell Juniors giving off energy readings, and it was only after Cell absorbed 17 and 18 who had undetectable ki because of their cellular structure that he made them.

https://imgur.com/LLhOWFO

LOL, it is an asspull, because it comes out of nowhere in the plot and is completely random; the very definition of an asspull. The Cell Juniors were intended as dead in the manga. This is an after the fact retcon.

The_Ivory_Man posted...
The Cell thing actually was fine in the OG English dub where they just say "if even a cell survives, he lives"


Dub =/= canon. Not that Cell's regeneration was badly written to begin with, but this retcon provides no fix. It just makes Gohan and the other Z Fighters look stupid for not destroying the Cell Juniors' remains.


"These are Cell Juniors they have all the powers and abilites I have"

"WOAH TORIYAMA THEY REGENERATED LIKE CELL CAN WITH HIS ABILITIES WHAT AN ASSPULL"


It's an asspull that just raises a bunch of other questions.

1) Why didn't the Cell Juniors bother to help their father Cell against Gohan?

2) Why didn't they bother to get revenge on Gohan? Gohan was completely drained after killing Cell; that would have been the perfect chance for the Cell Juniors to kill him. No one would have been able to stop them. Even when Gohan had recovered from the fight with Cell, he still got weaker over the years due to not training.

3) If the Cell Juniors are supposed to explain how 17 got so strong, then how could he even "tame" them in the first place? 17 would have been even weaker than Imperfect Cell prior to "training" with these Juniors; the Juniors were on par with buff SS Vegeta, and would have gotten Zenkais when they regenerated from the beating Gohan gave them. These Juniors should have just straight up killed 17.

4) If 17 did train with them, then why did he tell Piccolo that he had done no training?

5) Why the fuck didn't 17 just kill them? He hated Cell, yet he's comfortable working with his children, even though his children could potentially betray and kill him, especially considering the fact they should have far more potential than even him and Freeza do to get stronger?

6) Why the fuck didn't the Z Fighters do anything about these Cell Juniors? The Cell Juniors didn't keep their energy suppressed all this time, because they were fighting 17 and the poachers on 17's island. The Z Fighters should have hunted these Cell Juniors and killed them.

7) Why the fuck didn't the Z Fighters bother to destroy the Cell Juniors' remains when Gohan defeated them? They knew the Cell Juniors could regenerate.

And no, none of whatever head canon you can make up is an actual answer for any of these. The Juniors were supposed to be dead, end of. Keep on defending bad writing.


1. Because the Cell Juniors were already panicking and trying to run away when Gohan started killing them.

3. They may not have fought 17 too hard and been lost without Cell as they only did what was ordered until they panicked.

4. 17 liked jokes anyway, and forgot to tell people things that happened too.

5. Because he was just shared by people who tried to kill him and was really thinking about everything. Seems logical that he would extend a hand when one was just extended to him.

6. Cell's ki felt like their own, regardless they don't pay attention to a lot anyhow.

7. Why would they bother when Gohan destroyed them in single hits?

I'm not so sure. I would think that asexual would mean an absence of a sexuality.

The prefix "a-" comes from the Greek meaning "not."


And yet, in terms of researchers it's just placed as a sexuality and used that way in discussions.

Almost like the absence of something still counts as something.

It's the "Is shaved hair a hair style" debate.


I'm not sure there would be a better place to discuss asexuality, if not alongside sexuality. Describing the absence of something still requires a discussion of that something. That doesn't mean the absence = that something.

The same thing goes for a bald head. A bald head is best described in context of the opposite scenario, which would be a person having hair on their head.


So a shaved head isn't a hair style according to you?

But authorities said that through their investigation, "detectives have discovered that this is not a hate-related incident."

Uhhh yeah it was.

Even if race wasn't even factored, it would still be a hate-related crime.
Telling a Hispanic man to "go back to Mexico " and then brutally assaulting him are pretty hateful actions....


The crime has to be purely motivated by racism to be classed as a hate-crime. In this case, the woman claimed that the man bumped into her daughter, sparking the assault. If she had attacked him without any claimed provocation, then yeah she would have been charged with a bias crime.


"Well sorry officer that black man called me a slur while I was in my KKK robes, so I violently beat him."

"Ah well since he provoked you with a slur that clearly wasn't hate speech."

I mean Nightwing has been straight up raped twice in the comics.

My favorite was that writer after going "well it wasn't consensual, but it wasn't rape" as if there's a secret magical definition we don't know about.


What is it with writers raping so much.


Most are weird people anyhow?

Alan Moore wanted to follow up the Death of Superman with The Rape of Wonder Woman and do a comic about Wonder Woman being brutally dramatically raped graphically

Meanwhile in Japan, the writer who made DBZ really did make a manga about a girl who tried to become a superhero only to be repeatedly raped, who then gave up and became a hooker instead because she kept getting raped.

That's a real thing


I'd like to ask for a source for the second one.

Akira Toriyama is into gags and I can't easily find it with searches.

Alan Moore is famously weird though, you see Lost Girls?

Forgot that this is CE where feminism, which is literally just believing that women and men should have equal rights, is bad.


As a female, and a feminist, I just want to point out that modern "feminism" is not at all similar to classical feminism.

Just because someone is crazy and happens to be feminist doesnt mean that all feminists are like that.

Holy shit, not so fucking hard.

Really, so when have modern feminist groups pushed for equality?

Women are already over 60% of college graduates and I don't hear talk there, in fact just pushes for women in areas where they aren't already.

Where are shelters for men?

What about custody?

What about prison time?

And so on and so on.

Saying you support something while not doing it, means very little.

This is sad that youre legitimately upset about this.


Sounds to me like you don't actually have a response?

I'm not angry about the issue, I'm angry about hypocrisy and lies.

We can't go topless. In most places, at least.

To be fair, this would bring about the fall of western civilization


It's legal in a lot of states actually, most women just don't want to.

Pretty amazing how most of those cops are Hispanic lol


About half of border agents are also hispanic.


I think it's over a quarter of ICE agents in general as well.

Must help considering how much immigration and illegal immigration is done from Latin American countries.

So this is how it starts. First it's the gays, then once thats sunk in and has presidence, it's any other group the Liberals considers a "fine organization." Thus is how society ends, to thunderous applause. Shame on you

Maybe not fire people or kick them out of college as soon as an accusation starts and instead wait for an actual trial?

you realize that "code of conduct" is a thing, right?

people get fired all the time for things that aren't necessarily illegal


For things that breached the code, not an accusation of something that hasn't been proven one way or the other yet.

Imagine get banned from Gamefaqs for someone telling a moderator you sent them racial slurs on another forum without providing evidence.

you could push for means to curtail false accusations

Other than "not believing people when they make accusations" what other methods are you suggesting?


Maybe not fire people or kick them out of college as soon as an accusation starts and instead wait for an actual trial?

There was a case where two people reported the other person for raping them because they got scared of being kicked out of school when the other person reported them.

It's ridiculous.
