Super Best Friends Thread V6: Funko Pop appreciation thread - General

Honestly this is probably just down to Woolie being bad at video games (well, anything not SF). He keep jumping between "gut reaction" and "check everything ever" and keeps managing to hit all the ones that make people hate him. I'm assuming you're talking about Woolie running away like a coward. If the game doesn't adapt to your choices and assumes you made this other choice, that's the game's fault. Woolie running away like a coward should be just as viable as any of the other choices in the game, but instead it assumes he didn't run and thus makes this robo-Jesus thing come out of nowhere. Thus, Woolie isn't to blame here. It's way more subtle than the rest of this game and his other games to the point where I'm convinced Cage had the least to do with it. Both of the actors are also doing an A+ job in their roles. I'm hoping we see more of them in other games. Still, between Connor and Agennahmunjayden, the detective parts of his games seem to be the best parts but I admit to being a sucker for noir detective stories, especially in sci-fi settings. Even in Farenheit/Indigo Prophecy the investigative parts were slightly less shitty than the rest of the game (the basketball and whatsherface in the basement parts can go to hell though). Maybe he should focus on making those instead.

I mean considering Atreus is a god and all the weirdness that surrounds gods, I think such an emotional state having magical repercussions on its own shouldn't be out of the question

I was more excited to see their reactions to sick boy combos than the last boss and the twists and turns in Dad of Boi. Good LP though, even with all the time stop-tier moments.

And the most tolerable part of Omikron was the beginning when you thought you were investigating the murder of secretly dead cop's even deader partner.

It is partly down the the limitations of writing a branching plot when you can barely write your own name first try, and honestly seeing these guys go on gut reaction every time would probably be more entertaining than the careful "look at everything" thing as they wouldn't be thinking through possibilities as much. Honeslty not a lot about Markus' story had really intrigued me as much as it could have. A fairly by the numbers revolutionary thing so far.

You have no idea how much I want God of War: Ragnarok right fucking now

i'm not saying it wouldn't potentially be a spoiler but dude it's norse mythology there aren't exactly many endgames

Having Surtr as a Kronos-scale boss would be pretty goddamn awesome.

not familiar with the game they're teasing here. what is it?

Godhand.

Which is gonna tear their asshole apart.

Why are they playing this garbage when they can play the clearly superior Imagine: Party Babiez instead Old jokes aside, they've played this already right? I'm pretty sure they've referenced GodHand previously. Still gonna be a fun playthrough at least

They've played the start of GodHand for something or other special, but never deeper into the game.

Woolie getting so confused that Freya would want to protect Balder Says so much about his relationship with his mother

Don't forget the wild times at Maddentown

I honestly was confused too- my mother loves me, but if I threatened her with death at any point she'd have me locked up. I absolutely abhor what they did with Freya's character during that fight, and this was a big part of it.

maybe a big part of it is that Freya knows his precious baby boy dying kicks off Ragnarok and wants none of that business either.

Which is made more clear because Freya (and everyone else) were clearly aware of the prophecy. Like, it was common fucking knowledge for everyone except Kratos 'cause Kratos wasn't from around those parts. Frankly, it's baffling to me that Atreus didn't know, nor instantly went 'waitfuck!' when he found out his true name.

I still believe that Atreus was just drunk for that period. odds are it was some strong as shit Greek fortified wine which has who know how long been fermenting in that vault

Actually from what I can remember about Norse mythology: Baldr's death isn't the exact cause of Ragnarok, but instead is one of the very first things that led to it. What his death did start was Fimbulwinter (The winter to end all winters says Brok). After Loki got imprisoned, he was sentenced to years of torture and when he eventually escapes, he free his son, Fenrir, which is the actual start of Ragnarok. Of course GoW games are already heavily romanticized versions of mythology, which themselves are already convoluted. So who knows really. v v

If that was talked about in the game I'd agree, but as far as I remember she never says anything about Ragnarok, and I don't think mimir mentioned baldur in any talk on the subject. No, Freya just "loved her son so much since he was the one good thing about the marriage with Odin", which is bullshit to me because the man grew up to be an asshole. Even if she was thinking about him as a baby, that was over 100 years ago and should not reflect her feelings now. It just feels like a complete waste of her character and it soured me on the game a lot.

Perhaps it's to pave the way to the obvious parallels where Kratos says the very same about Atreus - that he wouldn't resist, if that meant his son lived on. Seems to be an important theme, especially in Kratos' development as a character.

I just can't get into Kara's story at all

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZYp-qx5ZE4 IT'S TIME

I really need to play through just a bunch of Platinum shit right now

i havent been keeping up with detroit anymore because whenever i think about detroit i remember how utterly dull and boring both of their stories are they're not good but they're also not funny-bad like cage's other work so they're just boring

It's been said about a million times already, but the game should have just been about Connor and Hank.

Woolie is also playing in the most boring and yet worst way possible, every other person ive seen has Marcus as a violent Revolutionary which is fun as hell to see unfold Kara is just boring as fuck
