As good as one could ask for with a first attempt dry run. Now playing it on my 3DSXL on the other hand...Ive got some fucking words for that one. The 3DS itself kinda fails Samus Returns. Games fine but the hardware is hand cramp inducing trying to hold those shoulder buttons and do all the other shit the game asks on something less then half an inch wide while holding it. Fucking annoying. I wish the 3DSXL had a grip that wasn't some ugly rubber piece of shit. The grip I bought (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013JDH8J0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) is pretty good, but yeah, I was irritated that I had to buy something just to be able to play the game comfortably for more than a few minutes.

Hawkingbird Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) My biggest gripe with Samus Returns as I talked about in the Metroid thread is the how needlessly complex the controls are. They forced the use of the touch screen in that game when it didn't need it. We didn't need to touch screen to switch missiles, power bombs, and the goddamn ice beam (the fact it doesn't stack with the other beams will forever piss me off). Super missiles are always better off as neither an upgrade to regular missiles or a charge combo. It being it's own thing makes no functional sense. Power bombs should be it's own button.

Especially with white people lacking the hair texture to achieve dreadlocks it, to get their hair to go into dreadlocks they just stop washing their hair period. It's disgusting, and if you chop a white person's dredlock off 9 times out of ten you find mold growing inside the locks. There a hygienic way to do it, but it's needlessly complex and ridiculous regiment you have to follow to the letter. Key part is have to rinse your hair in hot rose water, and dry completely. It also means never touching shampoo. DoctaMario and Abbachio 2 Quote Link to comment

Abbachio Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 When you have dreads you're encouraged to wash them, especially with stuff like tea tree shampoos you just make sure not to use conditioners or stuff with extra oils, just make sure to thoroughly dry them. Also you don't just stop washing your hair and obtain dreads, I mean it is something you can do but back combing sections of hair creates them too and is pretty much instant. Also the Greeks and Vikings had them. If you don't like em on white people meh it's whatever but saying they can't have a hairstyle is twitter levels of fucking stupid.

MillionX Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 Yeah most are likely fake. It's more believable when you're seeing a person's reaction on a live-stream as whatever event is happening in real time. It also surprises me that anyone believed those prank videos on youtube when that was a trend. Funny thing is that there was a dude that ended up in the news for being shot and killed here... for doing some "prank" videos where he was pretending to rob people in a parking lot, something like that....haha he didn't get the memo that you have to fake that sort of thing...learned the hard way that in real life that's a good way to get yourself beat up or shot.

TheInfernoman Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I can't hate on "unboxing" videos because as a guy who makes quick shorts about opening MTG booster packs, it would be contradictory of me to say anything against it. They do indeed bring in views and have gotten me subscribers on YouTube so it works. I don't mind let's play videos because sometimes i reference something in the video and it helps to have a visual.

MillionX Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 I have watched an unboxing or two for that reason... to see how the product in question actually looks...also to get a glimpse of what the box for the Switch OLED looks like to generally know if I see it at a glance in a store in the near future. -As a kid growing up in that grand era of horror slasher films being the new hot thing... at least for me, Jason was a lot cooler than Michael. I'll admit this *might* be because I saw the Friday the 13th films first. Jason is an odd case though, because his look differs from one film to the next. My favorite Jason "style" I'd say is the one from part 4, 6, and 7. -Batman--- I prefer Batman being a lone wolf hero. The "dynamic duo" of him and Robin, and the later extended "Bat family" never appealed that much to me. The occasional team-up/crossover kinda story is ok, but he should be the type that works ideally alone...or at least no one outside of Alfred, of course. ...and I mentioned it before, most likely, but Batman is also one of the only heroes I'll give a pass for not having powers. Normally, I prefer my superheroes to actually be clearly superhuman in at least 1 way. Batman is the exception to the rule there for me. Most other "regular people" heroes I just look at as kinda lame.... obviously gimped in comparison to real deal shit like Superman, Spawn, any of the mutants from Marvel, etc. RSG3 1 Quote Link to comment
Darc_Requiem Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 @MillionXI've always preferred Michael Myers and I saw Friday The 13th first. Myers is just a man that refuses to die.

Lantis Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I've always preferred Jason because he seems to come across as more sympathetic/charismatic in his interactions, not as one-track as Michael Myers (although they did try to give him that "human side" with his niece interactions in the original sequels). Also loved how they went along with Jason's undead persona as every sequel displayed him as being more decomposed. Quote Link to comment
