I would preffer a remake of flashpoint.... But:

That is, because 9/10 superhero movies these days are a "fight your own clone origin story". And this flash was obviously yet again the same movie I saw 30 times in last decade.

@LukeAlmighty oh uh sorry for the spoiler, I figured it’s safe to spoil a dumb story from a disappointing game that I could be wrong, too. So don’t listen to it. Hah ha…

@RehnSturm256
You cannot spoil a game I have 0 interest in

@RehnSturm256
So, now I saw an explanation for the story....

And, there was literally nothing new I learned, since the ending + first artefact was all I needed to expect this exact shit anyway.

@RehnSturm256
BTW, you are canonically the most boring person in all of multiverse fiction.

Immagine. You get the ability to travel the multiverse, and you use it it return back in time 1 week earlier to slightly altered universe.... And then do it again and again....

You are canonically Groundhog daying yourself.

@RehnSturm256
And no, I am not joking or taking game mechanics too literally.

You have the knowledge of previous universes, because it grants you dialogue options, and there are even random universe variables, that are there specifically to show, that you are in fact the same person in a different reality.

@LukeAlmighty see!? I hate that stuff. You can explore the friggin universe…and they instead have you playing deja vu in the same boring handful of planets occupied by ugly people. It’s lazy and terrible! All the lives you affected mean nothing because it’s all reset. The game doesn’t even let you eliminate most quest npcs, so it really feels like you’re trapped in a purgatory.

@RehnSturm256 @LukeAlmighty bethesda can't stop using the chosen one trope to save their lives.

@icedquinn @RehnSturm256
BTW, this is actually the thing that made me fall in love with Skyrim.

I had an extreme dificulty mod installed, so there was no chance of fighting a dragon in 2nd story mission.

So..... If you don't do story missions, there are several reactions.

1) The world doesn't mention you as the "dragonborn". You are just a gigachad.

2) You cannot do main story, so you have to do sidequests instead. That leads to EXTREME IMMERSION. Especially, when you cannot fight anywhing stronger then a guard.

3) I realized, that the game literally is split between a true RPG, and a GOD power fantasy. And most people have never seen the first half.

@LukeAlmighty @RehnSturm256 i wish they had kept to the civil war storyline. they have developed a bad habit of sidelining stories with human values (drama) with some stupid save the world thing.

a lot of morrowind content was jobbing or drow house politics. the stupid save the world plot was present as todd is contractually obligated by god to include, but played a diminutive role in the whole game.

@LukeAlmighty @RehnSturm256 saving the world is a pretty bog standard heroes journey but to play that out you have to actually stick to the heroes journey. mass effect gets away with it because EVERYTHING ELSE in the game is within the context of HOLY SHIT BBEG EXISTS and the reactions to the existence of the BBEG.

bethesda games always have a chosen one saving the world but the world doesn't really seem actually that endangered and nobody seems to care about the fact the oblivion gates are showing up everywhere.

its just like damn another space vagina. anyway i gotta file my taxes.

@icedquinn @RehnSturm256
Seems realistic though

@LukeAlmighty @icedquinn @RehnSturm256 the Fallout 1 survivors guide had more realistic planning into a nuclear attack than this.

@icedquinn @LukeAlmighty @RehnSturm256

> space vagina

some gamedev out there needs to make this a reality

@LukeAlmighty @icedquinn yes! Same, I did a playthrough in Skyrim where I didn’t learn I was Dragonborn as well, and it made the game more enriching as you accomplish things based more on your own merit and the game’s skills. I loved it, and was willing to forgo using Shouts and fighting dragons for that better experience

@RehnSturm256 @icedquinn
Interestingly enough, the world itself feel more real, when you're not being ambushed by dragons every 20 minutes :D

@LukeAlmighty @icedquinn @RehnSturm256 Truth be told I find it hard to get immersed into Skyrim. The roleplaying is fun but I feel myself get sucked out of the game anytime I enter combat. Combat is so boring to me that none of the playstyles I tried out ended up being fun.

@supersid333 @icedquinn @RehnSturm256
I will definitelly agree with you there.

The combat didn't age well, and mods cannot fix it.

@LukeAlmighty @supersid333 @RehnSturm256 oblivion had the Deadly Reflexes mod that made the combat more interesting. not sure if skyrim ever got an equivalent to it, or if such a mod did exist and was kept up to date with ten years of rereleases

@icedquinn @LukeAlmighty @RehnSturm256 I tried a bunch of different combat mods, even one that gave me the ability to do misc DMC attacks, but they all fall really flat since their built off of Skyrim's combat to a degree. Skyrim's combat is aggressively linear to the point of seemingly being impossible to fix without completely unending the foundation and rebuilding it.

@icedquinn @LukeAlmighty the most boring chosen one of all time, you relive entire universes but can’t use your knowledge of accumulated lifetimes to improve the living conditions of people that seem like they are living in a globalist “utopia” in the year 2050

Multiverse “theory” is a concept made by nihilistic, jaded, joyless people with no sense of adventure, wonder, or will to accept responsibility for their actions. Keep it out of my entertainment.

I don't believe that. It is a great storytelling tool, when used by people, who aren't retards.

@LukeAlmighty @RehnSturm256 it's not a good storytelling tool. its the last refuge of a comic book IP holder who is desperate to scrape the barrel for any more relevance before eternal reboots were invented.

@icedquinn @LukeAlmighty it was the worst aspect of even Star Trek TNG, because in the episode that had multiverse theory, you realize there are no real stakes and nothing matters. They still exist somewhere so it’s ok if the ship blows up, guys! Don’t worry! XDD

It’s awful and never used in a fulfilling way. It reached its peak with Marvel time travel shenanigans and that’s it i also want to point out that Leftists like multiverse theory b.s. for the very reasons I mentioned in the previous post of mine, whereas Righties like exploring in their stories. Globohomo doesn’t want humanity to grow and value what is wonderful, they want to trap us in nihilism with stories that don’t matter.

@RehnSturm256 @icedquinn
Lefties like it isn't areason I can take seriously. Sorry, I am just not that jaded yet.

@LukeAlmighty @icedquinn uh, that wasn’t what I was implying, 🤨 I’m giving a reason why they like it, whether it’s 40 years ago, or now, Lefties like multiverse b.s. for the reasons I mentioned, like the nihilism “nothing matters” and unwilling to accept growth, etc.

When you have atheist le heccin science bros who want space communism stagnancy for humanity, they put that in their created media.

@RehnSturm256
Are you just begging to be blocked for atheism slander?

You know you can just block me instead if you hate atheism so much.

@LukeAlmighty @RehnSturm256 @icedquinn the problem with comic multiverse is that its really just a marketing ploy to collect everyones favorite characters from all the most successful stories and cram them together in a way that doesnt actually work but execs are dumb enough to think it will help them stay profitable.
