The first time my family and I saw Treebeard, we immediately thought of my grandpa. His face, height, and crazy deep voice were just like Treebeard. He even talked pretty slowly.

Best anti heroes have to be Arthur and John from reds deads redemptions. Like by the end of both games you've been fooled into thinking they deserve good things. But they are bad men
@OwenIsOnline7 ай бұрын
They were bad men, but they redeemed themself. Just like Kratos, you can change as a person. You can choose to be better and you shouldn't be damned because of who you used to be. That's what makes it tragic. In the end Arthur finally become a good person but it was too late. It doesn't matter who you were, what matters is who you choose to be.
@captainvalencia7 ай бұрын
@OwenIsOnline That's one good way of looking at it. But I often feel thats one of the reasons why these games are so sad in tone. I don't think the writers really think there is such a thing. Their punishment comes for them in the end. But I'd like to think the same as you

Its weird thst the idea of anti hero had shifted over the years Seems it used to be more.of a neutral/ grey area where you sided with whomever served your personal goals best I.e catwoman/ black cat whereas now it's More someone who is on the side of good but saves the day using questionable means I.e punisher or agent venom

There are definetely villains in the TLOU universe. There's nothing good about Isaac, seraphites or the rattlers. While I agree that no playable character is "good" by the definition of being a video game hero, there's a shit ton of characters that do despicable things without any type of remorse. Isaac tortures people because they're not in his faction. Actually, scratch that. He tortured Abby's mates when she goes missing to search for Owen. Nora tells Abby this just before Abby descends to the Ground Zero area at the hospital. The seraphites torture and murder anybody who don't follow their religious bs cult. The rattlers have slaves and turn them into infected for fun.

I’d say Yakuza Kiwami. It’s the first one anyway, and the most enjoyable of the six games I’ve played so far. Serves as a great introduction to what Yakuza is without needing to know who half the characters are, as is the case in later entries. It looks great too as it was a complete remake.

@@jackolantern_8239 Rosie was talking about her personal experience with the game, which I felt was clear was the PSP version. Your comment of “it feels like you *only* played” just comes across as condescending. Not everyone has the time to play all versions of a 80+ hours JRPG.

@@NotElsewhereClassified I didn't intend to come across as condescending. I think you're probably taking this worse than I intended. But in case Rosie does see this, I didn't mean anything bad by it. It's true that not everyone has the time to play long games, I don't dispute that. My point is that the features she was talking about with third person exploration are not new to reload. It's just that portable was bad for exploration and downgraded in that sense due to being a portable title I guess.
