Final Fantasy VIII

The plot has a lot of dumb shit but the timeline in VIII actually makes sense. Nobody is allowed to change the past because changes made by time travellers already "catch" by the time the present arrives. So the protagonists beat the villain in the future before going back to their time, but because history is set in stone the villain will eventually arise generations into the future again. It is neat.

The only way time travel is done "right" is if it's a set timeline. Nothing you do in the past changes anything in the future.

If go to the past to change something, then you never had a reason to go back back in the first place.

Although that does raise the question of if it's possible to change the past if what you changed had nothing to do with your reason for going back.

I don't if there's much of a difference between the two versions. I watched a 3DS playthrough and the only issue I saw was that the guy recording the game was recording it on a camera and not from something that could emulate it, so the video + audio quality was bad.

Is the vita the better version for gameplay reasons? I have this annoying tendency where I don't like to play something if I know I'm missing out by not playing it under better circumstances. Never played Metro 2033 when I had it for xbox because I know it's better on the pc and my pc couldn't run it, didn't play mother 3 until I got a flash cart and played it on a GBA because I knew emulating it would fuck up the battle combo system, stuff like that.

Sands of Time

>>291221402

The vita is the worst version for gameplay reasons, mainly due to the fact that note taking can be incredibly annoying due to no stylus and second screen. It's a god send for the 3ds version. Makes shit so much more enjoyable.

The visuals and sound are better and it is less buggy, despite there only being one bug in the 3ds version which has had a work around patch for it since ages ago.

Majora's Mask nails the concept perfectly since it's far more gameplay-oriented then focusing on a paradox-laden story.

There isn't a point to going back in time because the new future it would create already exists in a separate dimension. Just go straight to the other dimension and cut out the hassle.

It doesn't make the least of sense at all compared to all the rest, it's the most plausible, look if you have the possibility to send a message back in time to yourself and do it right now you are still the guy who never got a message earlier in your life, you are the guy who sent the message, you wouldn't know you received the message, you wouldn't change.
Now since the message will arrive never the less there will be a you who get a message from the future.

Yea, but then you stop to think, and it's still bullshit like all other time travel stories.
How and why does Young Xehanort have the ability to travel through time if only someone who does not have a physical body can do so?
How can any of the new Orgy13 travel to the current time period if they could only do so if a current living incarnation of Xehanort needed to be around, and old man Xehanort only fully reappeared after all the new Orgy13 members had gathered?
How did Ansem SoD even figure out he could time travel?
If one cannot change the past, as Master Xehanort said, then what is bringing all these other incarnations of Xehanort from different time periods doing?

plebians exposed

the situation was so out of control by that point that killing himself was the only option. bruce willis was already close to killing tetsuo's mom which makes him grow up into psychic hitler. killing himself served a purpose for the good of someone other than himself, the young version was a nihilistic edgelord remember? it was thematically sound and a perfectly fine end to the movie and closed the time loop.

time travel is usually a clusterfuck in movies but looper handled it well.

the movie was fucking horrible. It was two completely separate plot lines that are forced into one another with one line "oh, and some people have telekinesis, parlor tricks".

no, there are at least two timelines, possibly infinity. but if young joe dies in any of them he ceases to exist in all of them. all the different versions of old/young joe existed until the specific moment in time where young killed himself in that timeline.

time can't be viewed as explicitly linear for these types of stories to work.

The new Terminator movie looks awful. Like, it actually looks worse than Terminator 3. I wish this series had stayed dead, because the last good thing to come out of it since T2 was a TV show that got canceled on a cliffhanger ending after two seasons.

At any rate, I think it's safe to say this will be the last Terminator movie. Every studio that has made a Terminator movie has gone out of business, and this will be no different. The franchise is cursed and I don't really see how anyone will want to touch it again if the new movie bombs.

As much as I love Terminator, it is sadly not a franchise with legs the way many of its contemporaries were. It had two good movies, two mediocre ones, and a pretty decent TV show spinoff, but it hasn't actually been popular since the 90s, and every attempt to revive it has only driven that point home.

I liked Terminator 3 when it came out and got plenty of fapping done with the Terminatrix's help, but I saw it on my 16th birthday. When I went back and watched it as an adult it just plain did not hold the same appeal to me as the original two did. It was an alright action movie, but the first two were instant classics. And let's be honest-- everyone in T3 was kind of a jerkish asshole, without nearly enough of the human moments that made you care about the characters in the first two movies. The asshole T-850 from T3 had some great comedy moments, but as a character he was not nearly as memorable or endearing as the more empathetic T-800 from T2.

Yeah, Achron came out. It's really good, but MAN, is it hard to grasp.
It's a game where you can lose a fight in the past and then send units from the future to actually ensure they even get built.
It's also a game where I've once seen someone zerg rush his opponent with the Humans, then go back in time and choose one of the other races just to confuse his opponent.
It's completely ridiculous and I'm really bad at it.

There's almost no point in caring about the Terminator series when you realize that John Connor can't actually even be John Connor.

I'm pretty sure in the new movie they are just taking a bunch of shortcuts and using CG instead of makeup.

Also, let's not forget that Stan Winston died right after working on T4. He was a master of practical creature effects, and his work is part of what made even the bad Terminator movies special. The new movie does not have him and it shows.

Hell, even the TV show had better makeup effects than the new movie. Their low budget forced them to employ a lot of the same techniques Stan Winston used in the original two movies, and they got people who were passionate about doing makeup the old fashioned way to work on it. The new film makers grew up in the CG generation where you just slap a motion tracker on someone's face and have the computer people do the rest, and they don't even have the budget or resources to do it convincingly.

Yeah but SKynet made itself from a chip the First Terminator left behind when it died and there's no indication a Convergent Engineering feat would create something exactly like the original Skynet if they tried (Especially since they blew up Cyberdyne).

Skynet as it was shouldn't still exist.
>>
>>291226923
It's not even that. If time in this universe is a line that can be changed then the John Connor we see in T2 and those further in the series can't be the real John Connor. Since Kyle Reese was sent back in time by John then the original had a different father. By sending Kyle back in to protect(and fuck) his mother, the real John Connor pretty much ends his own existence and is replaced by a different person with the same name.
Skynet won

Well, it's an indie RTS that is four years old, so yes, it's pretty dead compared to, say, 3 years ago.
Although there's still people posting on the forums, so it's not super-dead. And the latest update is from November 2014, so you could join the official forums and look around. I definitely recommend it.
>>
>>291227520
Prosthetics and puppets are actually there in the shots, while CG is merely an image. Plus, while I don't know for sure, I like to imagine acting in a movie with CG is harder on the actors, since they need to pretend something is really there, instead of in older films where they can actually see the damn thing.

3 was so fucking horrid, it's hard to compare. Arnold should have never been involved. It should have been some bizarre divergent timeline where the T-1000 and the T-X fight each other instead. That would have been a much more interesting battle. The final battle between the two at the end would have had the T-1000 dropping all pretenses of appearing Human, and becoming some shrieking liquid metal horror.

I think my favorite moment with Achron was when I was in a 2v2 game.
I noticed that my ally was attacking one of our opponents, but my army was, at that moment, faffing about somewhere else.
So, I went back in time about a minute or so, gathered my army and timed it so that we could tear his base apart from two different sides.

Then there's also the super weapons of the three species. The Humans just have a standard nuke, the Vecgir (bipedal insect aliens) have a nuke that, shortly before hitting the target, teleports towards it and the Grekim (weird... things) have a nuke that sends all enemy units in the target radius 30 seconds into the future which is HILARIOUS.

Maybe it did, and that attempt failed, and set into motion events that caused Sarah's birth that otherwise wouldn't have happened, maybe Sarah is her own grandma.

The later Terminator movies say the future is immutable, everything they did in the Terminator movies with time travel just created unchangeable inevitabilities (DoublesGuy managed to check this 6, allowing him to retcon it, but still)

Terminator 3 had the right ideas but a terrible execution. The idea of a femme fatale as a terminator abusing her charms to get her job done was awesome.

I never really understood HBO, Starz, etc. The nudity always seems shoehorned in. And you'll get called a Puritan if you complain about it, but I feel like it's just included to be as edgy as possible. It's like porn for people who don't know where to get porn. I've never seen a show in which a five-minute sex scene with bouncing titties had anything substantive to offer aside from teenage boners.
