Lastjustice

No it's an offender of almost everything he said actually. It sure as heck counts.

They altered the movie so the usual main heroes and villains no longer were the main attraction. Purely to sell more toys of charcters most of us didn't give a crap about. (atleast initially.) They tossed in a bunch of oddly placed music scenes that didn't really age well and offed characters in a series that never killed any prior. They tried too hard to mimic star wars in alot of ways, even right down to the cast. It was too dark for lil ones and too cheesy and shallow most for adults. Was probably more niche than Scott Pilgrim since the only people who probably liked it alot were fans of the show at the right age; Why it horribly bombed. I mean who wants be in a theather of crying children?

Tons of old characters were murdered in the first 20 mins. Iconic characters were speed bumps for profit and we were given a bunch of new guys we were just expected to root for because the story told us too. They never existed prior to the movie.

They just kind of randomly bounced between planets without any particular direction. The series went against it's initial concept of robots in disguise and was just giant robots fighting in space as you couldn't tell what half the new characters turned into or wouldn't be able to hide them in plain sight.

They tossed a bunch of different actors who did the 86 film that didn't really fit. Like Spock doing Galvatron just doesn't work for me. Then they dropped all of them soon as the movie ended.

See everything he said easily fit into that movie as well. The new films commited no sins that weren't done before. Transformers changes every so often period as it's reinvented itself more times than Madonna. Anyone who think oh my childhood just isn't paying attention to what's gone on since G1 to the present. (beast wars /machine, Robot in disguise , Unicron Trilogy, animated, the live action movies, and Transformer:Prime coming out soon.) You don't like the current batch just wait till the season changes.

Yeah I hated when they did that to Transformers back in 1986 too.

I'm sure there's exceptions to every rule; Not the point I was trying make though. Otherwise I agree your assessment as well.

Sure he/she would if I turn into stone or an animal they don't get paid. If I can successfully wish for everything I want they get their cut. (power cosmic baby..I don't need 3 wishes then hehe. )

As far as powers go that I wouldn't want to have. I wouldn't want super hearing to the degree super man has. Even if loud sounds didn't hurt your ears like Daredevil, just constantly hearing everything going on around you would drive you nuts. Every bad thing that takes place is always in ear shot, and you can't do much about it.

Cosmic awareness without all rest of power cosmic is in the same boat.I think it ultimately would be much more rewarding once you learned to control it since unlike super hearing it has an off and on switch. Just all the info coming in could easily crash your brain as it's all too much. It's not on the absolutely no side like super hearing but it's a risky power to have since not everyone can handle it. (it caused Genis to snap.)

Sure there's plenty of fighting games who's stories are nothing more than a bunch of characters from around the world having a giant **** measuring contest for whatever personal reasons.(that's like 90% of them which this tourney will some how decide the fate of the world...like being the best fighting is how people get elected or something.) Street fighter has gotten mindblowingly stupid infact as it's story is best ignored.

But many types of games can be thrown under the bus for having paper thin or little to no story. Megaman for most of the original series was Doctor wily (or someone fronting for him.) has created 8 robot masters...blow em up. Beat em up were usually someone got kidnapped and rather than call the police(because the justice system gotten so bad that it's no logner an option.) lets go take justice into our own hands and pile driver every hapless idiot that walks up to you. (which I wish more of life's problem could be solved that way.)

Most Jrpgs are so cliched that there's an entire page outlining them all. Basically some 12-15 year old boy needs chase after some girl he just met and kill monsters which will somehow lead to him saving the whole planet. (thank goodness for teenager hormones being the catalyst for saving planets.) Most genres have a mountain of games with the same formula for stories. Fighting games really aren't any worse offenders than the rest.(which if I had say the two best story lines of fighting games I'd say Mortal Kombat and Soul calibur ..atleast till recently in 4 were among the two best.)

I think gaming really needs work on being more than a thinly veiled excuse for people to beat up or shoot stuff. That's really the whole gaming culture as a whole not just fighting games.

Yeah I thought this was singlehandedly the stupidest statement of everything he posted. What because it hasn't because yet another genre watered down into an open sandbox game it hasn't changed? Sorry fighting games have as much forward movement as any other genre in gaming. Tell me what has greatly evolved in the last 10 years? All his examples of progress are bulk. (fighting games can be played online just like FPS can.)

If anyone can defeat you by spamming the same attack over and over;News flash unless the game doesn't allow you to counter it(like the horribly defective Justice league fighting game on genesis and Snes wouldn't let you block a sweep after blocking a jump kick. It was a terrible game.), then you horribly suck at fighting games. I get if it's a move you haven't seen before you'll have no idea how to counter or block it. (hence why takes skill and it's good to fight a variety of people to learn new tricks and tactics.) But at some point you need figure it out or it's your fault for being dumb enough to let them win by using the same attacks over and over.

Any game that's worth a crap will allow you some way to punish anyone who doesn't have a deeper bag of tricks. Same with button mashers, they might surprise a person and steal a round or two but once the player adjusts for the fact the person they are fighting has no clue what they're doing they will manhandle them.

He mentions things being repetitive, but what genre isn't? How is any sports game any less repetitive than fighting games? MMO's is nothing but constantly repeatedly the same basic concepts of healing/tanking/or dpsing all way to the lvl cap and best gear. FPS are just mowing down people over and over. If you don't like repetitive thnigs, video games aren't for you. Since the bulk of the time they take the same concept and steadily up the ante every level till end of the game.

This like me posting an article why wine tasting sucks despite never actually partaking in it just because I don't like wine. Stamp this guy Noobtard on his forehead. He doesn't deserve anyone's attention.

Very carefully. I'd consult a lawyer before making any wishes with a genie or Calypso from Twisted Metal.

It's only by choice. If he wills to go in that direction then he does due to his reality warping powers.(whether it's thru air or space.) Not that someone can't use his momentum against him as World War Hulk sidesteps him and causes him to fly forward at high speed when he shoves him from behind. (if you're unstoppable...Then keep going!) Cain can stop but due to the timing of him trying charge the hulk and his extreme lvl of strength he could use it against him. Cain can stop himself once he realized what happened, but he probably was a good distance away by the time he did.

If he gets sent too far away he can always contact cyttorak to teleport him back. (It's always been implied Cain has the power do more than he does he just doesn't due to his own ignorance and he's lazy.)

Aside from being like 10 feet tall and weighting 900 lbs that's really the only down side to having Juggernaut's powers. I just imagine you accidentally break alot of stuff as the one guy did in the one episode of Xmen the animated series when he stole Cain's powers with the Ruby of Cyttorak.

The too faithful for it's own good edition of Lord of the rings. Now with an extra 5 hours of footage...all of the local wildlife and terrain in up close detail.

They already have one, it's called inviting me to your team heh.

I actually particularly agree with this sentiment. If a game doesn't have it's hook at launch it's probably going to fail. Obviously you can't fit everything, but the thing that will get people in the door and sticking around for awhile needs be there from day 1. Whatever that might be.

in the case of PVP in CoX, it was an after thought. The game wasn't based around it and it painfully showed when the arena arrived.(being a defender fighting perma 9th tier melee characters was not fun.) It basically was there for a novelty and had it never been added it probably wouldn't have made or broke the deal for most players. I'm glad it's there for the people who enjoy it of course, but the majority largely ignore it. It was never the hook for this game.

I've played other games where it was the hook, and was created as an intergral part of the game. All classes are geared with it in mind then. It's a very different experience. Not say balance has ever been realized in a MMO, as the balance of power shifted often with nerfing and buffing of sets. It was by far the best PVP experience of all games I've played because it was meant for it.

Now with all that said, Jack had some odd ideas and often forced his point of view on players without really listening to. Most the intial sets had powers with excessive drawbacks or were so situational they got replaced. (like the original telekinetics made a team mate fly.) He did ultimately lay the ground work for this game and I respect that. I also know It's better off without him. He's good at intial concepts but the finer details seem better left to others.

I can just imagine all the needlessly specialized devices people would make if they lacked imagination. Granted all the offensive and scary things they would make if they did have it and no morales is worse heh.

Yeah he needs take on a couple safe projects to give himself some credit with the execs. I don't see too many people willing bank on him as a leading man after this for awhile. I'm guessing he probably can still get work in some larger cast as a supporting actor though. His career is far from over all things concerned...atm anyways.

Thank you for changing it in anycase.

As my friend said, (which others have said about The watchmen) Scott Pilgrim probably would done better as a Mini series than a full length film. I agree you can't do it both ways most times. I'm sure was some way of getting more money out of this...but that probably won't be the lesson taken as someone will be burnt by this ordeal.

Finally you say something I can get behind and fully agree with heh. I think He's killed more super heroes than Super boy/manchild Prime.

*watches Foamy explode into coins as NP drop kicks him from the shadows*

Ninja pirate said exactly what I said.(Which if we had rep I'd throw some your way.) You are injecting this broad vague statement when people are having a critical discussion of details which you know nothing about first hand yet you carry on to despite you don't know what you're talking about. Which you don't simply and quietly bow out of till you have better info.(like batman you gotta have enough time to plan, you come back with all right tools to win..instead of being one. You should know that as knowing is half the battle heh. Even I have the decency to see the movie I am nerdraging up threads about.)


Or save even more time and not post anything till you've got a relevant point to the thread. (as you'll see below.as I actually will talk about said movie.)
Or if you haven't seen it, how can you have a substantial critical discussion of the movie or make any relevant points about it?


Actually I never said I didn't like I just thought was average. Give me a better first half and I could given it a much better rating. Even Angry Joe who gave it a 9/10(opposed to my 6.5/10) said the first 30 mins was crap. Which he said till basically the first ex showed up, which seemed longer than 30 mins close to a hour but Im sure someone has the exact time for when Matt Pattel first showed up. Thats really when the movie started being worth watching. Prior to that I was strongly considering walking out.(which I've never have walked out of a film before.)


Well I understood it was supposed be if life were a video game and didn't why either because I had that understood.(which people on the forums even when asking Why does he have super powers even when the first trailer was shown. Why is an important question alot of times hehe.) Had the movie simply conveyed that alittle better to people who had no background then it would have gone over alot easier. Just knowing that and having the keys to kingdom of geekiness Im sure you and people on the boards generally can jump right in just fine. So makes sense you weren't thinking why, not that you're shallow.

As I said above, if it conveyed that better people would probably gotten it. Like the beginning of the movie was like a title screen saying press start or the the opening credits were all video game related instead of the pointless guitar outline we saw. Besides the universal pixalated was the only warning it gave to the audience and the continue screen at the end which probably went over most their heads. The movie just assumes you know it's rules(which Im sure some people who were gamers caught on well enough.) and never bothers to try to bring people up to speed. So either the people who got it or don't care what happens might have been fine. Everyone else...not so much. I think it's amusing premise and a clever idea, they just needed get everyone who wasn't part of the inside joke on board if possible. (hell even if they had Scott opening lines like sometimes I feel like life is like a video game....(insert remarks why.)

Ultimately I had a bigger problem with the lack of on screen relationship between Scott and Ramona, but you've even agreed to that. (which Chris ...your signature sprite is really hard to look at due to the flashing colors and motion. Could you change it to something less annoying please?The regular avatar one of Scott Pilgrim is perfectly fine.)

Hollywood seems take alot of the wrong lessons from things. I imagine they'll probably go with the former than the latter in this case.

I got the paper work for ya if you ever want to find out...muhahahaha.

Collosus, Captain Marvel, and the Green Lantern are all super powered characters with an off switch that works a heck of alot better. I'd rather have my powers shut off when I turned them off at will, yelled a secret word or pulled the ring off my own finger. Don't get me wrong those are by no means the worst defects to put up with to achieve power but there's far better packages that get the same perks.

I'd definitely want the option to go all natural.(it is a world made of cardboard after all heh.) I think always being in super mode you'd stop appreciating certain aspects of life (such as hot and cold like Doctor Manhatten talked about in watchmen.) It might start to alienate you from the rest of the planet if you stay that way for too long. Switching it off gives you a reminder of what life was like and what makes have powers special in the first place. (plus it prepares you for the rude awakening of if your powers ever were to shut off against your will.)Just seems like it would help keeping you grounded and mentality well adjusted not being above everyone all the time. That's me though.

I grow tired of you being denser than lead. You don't seem read posts so if you really don't get it just say so(as look at the thread...other people are quoting what I said and trying have a discussion.) and I'll ignore you saving us both time.

And I got the message in your first damn post. You're broken and irrelevant record. And like I said still had nothing do with the discussion. I didn't disagree with it...I just said it was a pointless statement to make in the first place. Something that seems to escape you for several post oh captainfoamforbrains.

And what does that have to do with anything I mentioned? Heck what does that have do with anything you mentioned? And why even mention transformers in the first place on a thread not about them? Oh here why, Foamy has no ability to stay on topic or make a gosh darn point.

You first say what I mentioned was using data from the first to resolve said plothole I was saying was covered there for it didn't count since it was from the first film. I mention people wouldn't know what happened in the first to know it needed covered up. Now you mention the finale of the second film...how does that go with what you mentioned before? I'm not even sure what you're trying show me or prove as you're all over the place.

Oh but you have before. (see district 9 and several threads we discussion batman in.) Basically you go doesn't need be explained because it's fiction. There's no rules...nothing needs be coherent or make sense because the writer says so....That was your arguement against me on several fronts. It's all fine and great you're a simpleton , but don't expect me follow suit.


Settle down? You realize who you're talking to right? I haven' even remotely nerdraged up this topic at all. I've kept it rather civil compared to some of my more explosive moments. I think you've seen your share of them to know better.

Don't play coy like you've been this stellar and intelligent poster.Your words are as empty as your soul!You've posted nothing constructive this entire thread. You quoted Arcannaville's entire post just to say Speedrace was awesome.(and it wasn't. It was meh.) You tossed in photos oh Mrs Hendrix as a point to a movie you haven't seen. And tossed in several posts to me and others about a point that didn't need to be made in the first. Kettle black troll king. I dont even know why you're in this thread other than to be disruptive since it's all you seem to be doing is trying to derail it.

You want to tell me Im not reading posts when I said I got it. I wasn't intent on arguing your point, I was intent on telling you shut the heck up because you're off topic and irrelevant to this discussion. You want to tell me what I was intent on doing...be right about that atleast.

Your post (which I opted to ignore till several posts down when I saw your pointless statement was going keep coming.)
Lets look at what I said.

In my first post I replied to your "point" I agreed right then and there.Who's not reading? That would be you. So yeah you've proven you're a few pokemon short of full dex. Not much else.
