That Metal Gear Solid 4 thread is killing me, especially this one section from a poster not particularly fond of the entry.

"MGS4 is a shining example of absolute bad taste. So many cut-scenes and plot threads in that thing are horrendous. Actually kind of embarrassing. Kojima was not only content with making Pants-shitting Johnny a major player in the franchise with a terrible romantic angle to boot, the entire ending revolves around Pants-shitting Johnny and his wedding to Meryl. The fuck is this?"

People who shit their pants need sudden abrupt romances too!

I'm not being hyperbolic here when I say MGS4 is one of the top most disappointing things to happen in my life and I used to wallow in regret and shame. It's easily top five. I still haven't bothered to play an MGS game that came out after it despite probably digging the ideas of V and Peace Walker. The pain is just too real.

Oh so you've been alive all this time, BB, doing nothing interesting. Then you die. Then Snake dies. But no one cares because no one likes Old Snake anymore. Then the shit guy gets married or something.

The first and third games are really great. 2 was a mindblowing experience at the time and an eerie predictor of the future but it does have some structural problems.

Her Noble Phantasm is literally called Rule Breaker after all lol. :P
Fate has a lot of broken shit or in theory like Lancer spear in theory should mean if you ever in range your dead but then Saber has spider sense, Berserker is basically unkillable without some bullshit at play, Gilgamesh ilcan win any war but is an.idiot,

Saber is oddly a pretty durable character. I'm on season 2 and Gilgamesh is fucking OP and he's less of an idiot and more super cocky. So far it seems like the less broken one is UBW Archer and Saber

If these jokes were in the Japanese script, these people would be praising them. In fact, there is an actual example of this. Krillin's ring tone being the One Piece theme is a meta joke (which isn't even Dragon Ball related like all the dub additions are) and everyone loved that.

Even with all the expanded lore Fate has nowadays, Gilgamesh is still in the top 5 most powerful servants. He's practically considered a god. He really only ever loses due to his arrogance and ego.

And yes, Cu has an instant kill NP, but never kills anyone with it because he has shitty luck and a lot of servants have ways around his instant kill NP.

Fate lore is silly. Also filled with deus ex machinas, asspulls, and power levels.

This practically makes them sound like Jojo stands.

What's great is that in Japanese, Krillin and Luffy share the same voice. That's probably why they added that easter egg.

It's obvious how little of a sense of humor they have when ever you try to debate DBZ. At least Jojo fans know how stupid Jojo can be and is.

For real... especially when it comes to power levels. Even though Toriyama's whole point during those arcs was to show that "power levels are bullshit" and can't be easily measured.

I think I have only done it once just for comedies sake. I haven't been in that thread since the last ep aired. Dragonball ain't my life and I'm passionate about other animes.

People are way too eager to enshrine "the original". I actually find it quite thoughtless.

My absolute favorite localization change will always be the Black Knight in the Tellius Fire Emblem games. Turns it from being super dry "not my real power" anime to something actually good.

That is such a good change. They altered the whole character there, but it just made it so much better.

But if the original writing is poor, I want to see that for myself. I don't want some translator putting his own take and fixes onto the storyline from the original writing. I want to be able to experience and criticize the originally intended art.

an actual argument people have and will make
