Rants and Reviews

This should actually be titled rants and review since it's mostly just me ranting about various things. Although I will have my """""""review"""""" of Daemon X Machina as well.

 

First rant, it's about the new pokemon games (although this is copied and pasted from a post stuck on reddit, that place is only good for football and porn)

Spoiler

 

First a bit of background; I've been a fan of the pokemon franchise since it first released in the west (pretty much, I was 5 at the time) mostly through the anime, my first actual game was Silver and bar a break during gen 4 I've played pretty much every mainline game when they came out (I did go back and play through diamond later on though) and every gen had at least SOMETHING I liked in it. But with the recent leaks and all the information I've had beforehand as well as the growing trends (starting with gen 6 imo) I'm really starting to feel as though this franchise just isn't for me.

 

To begin with, I feel the designs for the pokemon have been getting farther and farther away from what make the original designs great, it's as has been said before: they're not pocket MONSTERS any more they're pocket CHARACTERS many of the newer pokemon look like the sort of character you'd see in a kid's cartoon they don't look like something that could feasibly live in the wild or are wild creatures. Some of my favourite pokemon from the last gen (all two of them) are Lycanroc (midday form specifically) and Passimian (I called mine Brian) both look like they're wild creatures, you could imagine a pack of Lycanroc or a group of Passimian living in the wild but I couldn't see a group of Incineroars (even if tigers are solitary by nature anyway) or Cinderaces living in the wild, hell I like Corviknight (only gen 8 pokemon I like) but I couldn't imagine there being a murder of Corviknights in the wild because none of them are CREATURES they're all CHARACTERS.

The designs aren't the only reason, and to preface this I'll give you my top 10 pokemon (I'll be referring to this, it's also in order):

 

1. Arcanine
2. Espeon
3. Nidoking
4. Feraligatr
5. Sawsbuck
6. Salamence
7. Scyther
8. Raikou
9. Articuno
10. Blaziken


As you can see from that top 10 it's mostly gen 1 and 2 pokemon and I'm lucky in that my top 2 favourite pokemon are in the game but here's the thing NONE of the others are. But even with that Dexit should NEVER have happened, that line "every pokemon is someone's favourite" is so very true, I may not like Incineroar (I think all of the gen 7 and gen 8 starters look like crap) but I am 100% certain that someone out there does and is it fair that they don't get to use their favourite pokemon but I do? Obvious answer is no it's not and the reasons for the cut are absolute bullshit (I've tried to avoid swearing but I'm sorry it's the best way of describing this) it's literally down to Game Freak not caring about the games anymore.

As for the Charizard controversy, I like Charizard (it's not in my top 10 but it's definitely in my top 20) but the pandering it gets is WORSE than what Pikachu gets who's the series mascot. As far as I'm concerned if you're adding a starter to the game (outside of special events) you have to add its two companions with it, either all three of them get in or none of them do.

 

 

Second rant, about the Outer Worlds:

 

Spoiler

So I bought the Outer Worlds on the windows store and I played it a bit but I haven't really picked it back up and I've come to the realisation as to why (thanks somewhat to a youtuber I follow as well) there are no women in this game, yes you can choose to play as a female but all the "female" characters in it are pretty much just slightly thinner men whose baws haven't dropped yet. And that's led me to a realisation: Western games aren't being made for the likes of me anymore, they're being made for 12 psychopaths on twitter and reeesetera, neither of whom will actually buy the game so of course there aren't any good looking women in their games with nice tits anymore because those fuckwits would kick up a fuss if there where, I'm not trying to be political here but it's starting to infect fucking EVERYTHING in the West and it's starting to get a bit worrying.

 

 

the """""""review""""""

Spoiler

 

This might be a bit brief but I really like daemon x machina (not as much as three houses though, but more then astral chain) it's pretty much the perfect mecha game for me, there's an absolute shit ton of customisation for your Arsenal (what they call mechs) that can fit a variety of playstyles. Want to be a tank with low manoeuvrability but high defenses? You can do that, want to be a speedy glass cannon? You can do that. Want to run into battle with 4 swords? You can do that, want akimbo assault rifles? You can do that. There's an insane number of weapons (4 different types of bullet weapon alone) and you can have up to 4 main arm weapons plus a shoulder mounted weapon (I personally use akimbo assault rifles, a bazooka, sword and a missile rack) on top of that before each mission you can tailor your loadout to fit the situation (provided you have the equipment for it) so you can theoretically overcome every mission with relative ease.

 

As for the story, I've stopped paying attention to it after a fairly weird incident in it which left me bemused an emotion the writers probably didn't want. Basically you have a mission with two npcs, you've only had one other mission with the one before and she had no character development, and one of them dies it's all very tragic... for the npcs but not so much you as you have no idea who the fuck this person is and it's not helped with the fact that rather then the actual characters (by the way there's character customisation and you can unlock new voices to use in game and can switch anytime you want provided you have the currency for it) to at least emote about this (although one of them does wear a mask) it's the Arsenal's standing around while the characters talk, y'know the giant mechs that can't emote at all. That incident kinda turned me off from the story, but who cares I've flying around in a badass looking mech blowing shit up.

 

Speaking of badass looking mechs these mech designs are some of the best I've seen, even as a Gundam fanboy, and the customisation for them makes it even better with any of them truly being YOUR Arsenal. Also a final note on the music, it's pretty good but nothing spectacular but there is one funny thing to say about certain character's theme songs and how they play; these songs are effectively being broadcast over the comms for every Arsenal on the battlefield which I thought was a nice touch.

 

 


finally a sexy lady for you to look at:

Women being thinner men is actually not that inaccurate. 

Did said youtuber tell you what is missing to make them 'real' women? More cleavage and we're cool?

It's not like most women in RL show off their tits in their everyday life.

Tbh. I found the Outer Worlds pretty enjoyable, but flawed. I'm surprised that by all fair points of criticism you didn't like the women ingame?

I'd like more variety, have masculine looking women sure but some more feminine women to balance that out would be nice. My rant while using the outer worlds as an example (and I'll admit I'm not the best at articulating my points) was more about how the mentality that women can't look attractive and must look like men because that's what a "strong" woman is it's getting worrying.
