The reason people are exciting is because Pokémon is (very) slowly becoming what it’s always touted: Something that can be enjoyed by everyone. Inclusion of LGBT characters is a great start. There’s a gay character in Sword and Shield as well. He’s the the main character of the games second DLC pack, The Frozen Tundra. Honestly the best thing about is they don’t parade the fact or shove the fact in someone’s face that x or y person is gay. They just mention in passing or descriptions of the characters you read through various means. Its inclusion without making a big deal. They want to to be a big deal to the players. Not to have people focus on that person which may or may not cause controversy. It’s in the same vein of why the scene where Miles Morales using ASL to talk to a girl in his game was so significant and important to the deaf community I wouldn’t be surprised as the series goes on, new games are made, etc that revisions to characters happen and new characters of that represent other groups of people are introduced. I can easily see a trans character, a blind character, a wheel chair bound character, etc all playing pivotal roles in Pokémon in the future. Just as easy as I can see legacy characters being retconned. The latter is fine as long as it’s done properly; like Diantha. Funny enough, not the first LGBT character from X/Y games. One of the NPCs you can battle is implied to be a Transgender woman so it’s not the first time a Pokémon game has done this.

DarkSakul Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Is it me with my build or the Sentry Bots in the old Silo/ The Divide is relatively easy. Sure they fucked my guy up a bit, but nothing a few sim packs can't help. Acquired ED-E who does all the hacking for me as I got a Whopping 1 Int, But when you got 61 skill in Guns, a 10 Agi and a grenade launcher its a piece of cake I also acquired the outfit you see in all the Promo materials of NV, so thats cool. I also went around before that and shot any NCR I found. Link to comment

The moment me, the friend, and 2 randos made it to where Magnamalo was he was immediately like 'NO....AND FUCK YOU ALL FOR EVEN THINKING YOU COULD!' immediately one shoted 3 of us 1 after the other in short order LITTERALLY within the span of 10 seconds.

It would be good to prepare an armor set that either counteracts any stuff he can abuse, or a set that allows you to have more survivability. Link to comment

One thing I found about what little I've played of DS1 is that they dangle things in front of you that you aren't really supposed to get into at that point, like that cemetery beer the beginning. I beat that black knight but I think I had to be really strategic about how I did it. This year is going to be the year I beat dark souls 1 finally. Chadouken and RSG3 2 Link to comment

DangerousJ Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 My gut feeling is that they really want to do a MCU universe and purely want Johnny to be sequel bait. I have a feeling there will be a post credit scene briefly showing Johnny. Kano will be probably be "good" for most of this film and then betray them towards the end ,leaving an opening for a new hero. RSG3 1 Link to comment

That's a weird excuse. Kano does wisecrack but he's more crude than anything as opposed to Johnny who is less dark while erring closer to goof. They could have easily wrote around the both of them with out each other taking uo the same space or even had them at odds with eah other making it easier for the actors to play off.

Jurassic Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Johnny Cage does add variety in regards to the games. I think it is over-literal and unsubtle to have a character be a movie actor inside a movie where I assume a more serious tone is trying to be achieved. Kano as a snarky bad guy makes sense, and more characters like that will subtract from that goal. It would be like Batman telling jokes while fighting the Joker. Link to comment

Johnny didn't go into Mortal Kombat knowing it was a cross dimensional tournament with major stakes to his realm and the politics involved with it. He thought it was a blog standard material arts tournament to prove to his critics he wasn't a fake. It would have made far more sense for the movie to have used him in this role instead of creating an OC. DangerousJ, RSG3, Sonichuman and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment

iStu X Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Johnny’s popularity has everything to do with the first movie. They wrote him as the audiences perspective but also made him a funny and charismatic dude you wanted to see kick ass. between that and the original timeline being fleshed out he became one of the most popular characters in the history of the franchise. And not even because he was one of the core 7 fighters. his character was great, when you paid attention to the story (especially pre-reboot continuity) it was awesome and his gameplay while not always top tier it was still amazingly fun to fuck around with. post-reboot Johnny was great too. He’s just a good character RSG3, Hawkingbird and DarkSakul 2 1 Link to comment
