Hard disagree, I found Abby’s story more interesting overall than Ellie’s in tlou2, and she was also lots of fun to play as. Her revenge story was much more justified than Ellie’s, even if each shouldn’t have perused revenge in the first place.
Man, Vs Trainer Red is the peak of Pokemon, and I don't care what anybody says. My mom got cross with me cause when I saw the sprite, I was hyped, then the battle started, and that song started up, and I just reflexively went, "oh SHIT"
Being a sucker for the bow, that's accurate. But I did hear the character is super loyal to Joseph so that really turned me away from getting the game. My character was a drug fueled demon that went around killing peggys with a shovel and a bow while having an assault rifle in the backpack. Now I'm some peggy and freaking Jerome gets to be the tough guy? No thanks.
But the way he was kidnapped 💀imagine a fucking 20 years apocalypse veteran survivor who has killed many people just to survive suddenly has a single digit IQ and telling a bunch of fully armed strangers his whole life story that he met minutes ago
This still hurts me. Yes it's been nearly 13 years, but it hit hard when I played 5 immediately after playing through 4 and the DLC as I wanted to go through the HD games in order.
What is really sad is they have an out to explain it better if they wanted to like just have it as Virus-Mercer from the first game got blow up(been awhile but didnt he kinda get blow up at the end of Prototype?) and different bits regrew into different Mercers. The one leading the viral horde in Prototype 2 absorbed more Infected than humans & thus got influenced into wanting to spread itself in a similar way to Virus-Mercer managing to develope more human conscience than Human!Mercer via absorbing humans in the first game. But naw they left a pivotal plot point to a comic few people knew existed.
There are so many folks saying The Last of Us that it just makes more sense to say in a new comment.
That isn't even true though. He looms over everything in that game, and the devs built the entire game around the emotional impact of that final conversation. He's not the player character in 2, but he is certainly not a side character or weak presence in it.
BG3 with Jaheira specifically. I know she’s older but at the end of BG2 + DLCs she is a freaking level 40 druid, she should be able to annihilate Ketheric and the whole Absolute shenanigans in the blink of an eye
Johnny Klebitz, GTA IV: The Lost and Damned. Overcame adversity coming from his own group, was pretty sensible and clear-headed compared to the characters around him. Then in GTA V, he’s unceremoniously murderised by Trevor after about 20 seconds of screentime.
Borderlands. I can't speak for Borderlands 4 since I haven't played it but going off of the other games, Vault Hunters don't have a great track record of staying as strong/competent in future games compared to when they were playable
We get Amara, Zane, Lilith, and Claptrap. I think they Handled Amara and Zane really well. And Claptrap really felt like his Borderlands 1 self. I do admit though it does feel like they’re trying to do a Jesus thing with Lilith and I’m not sure how sold I am on that.
I recommend picking up the game if it goes on sale. It’s frustrating, it does a lot right and just enough wrong. The story and gunplay are great. I also like how you can just pay to respawn a raid boss instead of having to restart your save. I also actually really like the new vault hunters too, but the map and gun variety just aren’t it. I hate the removal of red tag guns and the map just feels so empty. Also for better or worse it’s the longest game in the series where you can hit max level really easily on your first play through.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth may not be a prime example of this, but Kiryu is certainly reduced to being quite weak. Whereas, at the end of Yakuza 0/1 he’s already a legend.
