My thoughts on Four Newer Licensed Killers in Dead by Daylight

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I may talk about the four newer licensed killer characters. To be honest, all of them were quite interesting to me in some way. I wish I would've stayed a little longer. The upcoming tenth anniversary on the way. I recently discussed my guess on the licensed killer or killers we're about to get.

Today I will be talking about Dracula, Ken Kaneki, Springtrap and Stranger Things Vecna respectively. What an interesting bunch of guest characters indeed. Bringing in Castlevania, Tokyo Ghoul, Five Nights at Freddy's, and Stranger Things again. Now tied up with Resident Evil having two licensed chapters.

I will start with Dracula to finish things with Vecna. Dracula brings in shape shifting to a degree. He can transform int a huge bat that can teleport to vault spots or a huge wolf. I really was surprised they added in his transformed form. From Castlevania: Circle of the Moon I loved that!!!

I also loved Dracula has this cool fire attack that can hit multiple survivors. Officially Konami's second killer in the game behind Silent Hill's Pyramid Head. Now both of them being in 2v8 mode is mind blowing!!! I also happy with his cosmetics being very awesome at best.

The fact one of the most iconic game franchises now in Dead by Daylight. Castlevania perfectly ties into this composite canon within Dead by Daylight. I respected they finally went for Castlevania's Dracula. I was very satisfied from everything I seen with the character. Another aspect I liked they tie in was somewhere at a distance was the iconic castle.

I also felt in his bio the perfect opportunity for The Entity to take Dracula. This is a bit interesting for people that didn't read the bio or not that familiar with the main Castlevania timeline. Julius Belmont defeated Dracula during a Solar Eclipse. Unexpectedly this led to Dracula having a successor/descendant named Soma Cruz.

This particular dying moment for Dracula, The Entity simply took him on the spot. I know it's a little weird since Dracula was using powers from a deity being Chaos. Who created the Chaos Realm meant to be the same scale in size to the main universe. I previously had that concern with The Demogorgon. Until I found out that particular Demogorgon was created in the real world without Vecna.

I also liked Castlevania done a lot of cool crossovers the same year this chapter dropped. They once done a rather mind blowing sale with those crossover. Castlevania is officially back thanks to several factors. Dead by Daylight getting Dracula was essential for it's success. Such an iconic game villain loosely based on the famous novel version of the same character.

This further opened the doors to more video game crossovers. Which I'm actually quite happy about. There's a huge amount of horror game franchises they could possibly go for. Castlevania chapter was a huge success indeed. I also liked they went the distance with the Legacy skins. Even Death from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night gets in on the action through The Nurse.

The next one was a huge surprise to me. I previously kept noticing leaks about a possible Tokyo Ghoul crossover. A little closer to the announcement, it became clear the crossover happening. Already out doing Junji Ito and Attack on Tian crossovers. In terms, this was treated as a chapter. I instantly knew before I saw his bio when he was taken.

In my mind, the perfect opportunity for him to be a killer. Most fans of the franchise already knows this. He fought back against this ghoul tortured him a good while. This was the one point in the story his humanity was gone. Now for those that aren't familiar with the character or the franchise. Kaneki eventually led the world in a surprising direction for the better.

Kaneki still done some not pleasant stuff on the way. He was taken following his hair turned white. Personally I loved how they handled the character in the game play. A horror Spider-Man style that swings at long distances towards survivors. You bet that's terrifying to imagine. I do prefer his mori over Dracula's it's just more satisfying to me.

I also was surprised they done a few Legacy skins. Majority being survivor skins funny enough. The very ghoul that started everything in Tokyo Ghoul is in the game. In a weird way, we needed another killer with tentacles. Not in that sense sick bastards!!! I was in all honestly quite happy how they handled Kaneki.

Five Nights at Freddy's franchise is quite huge even for an indie mascot horror game franchise. I knew Springtrap was another huge requested horror icon. They actually went a little bigger than I expected. A new map that's both outside with some sections being inside a famous restaurant. I personally wished they would've done more Legacy skins.

Springtrap himself was done amazingly well!! This is a hot take I'm not a fan of The Huntress. I felt he's a superior variation of that concept. He does have an hatchet he can throw. Unlike her, he instantly can get his hatchet back. He also could get a free grab if he reaches the survivor hit with the weapon in time. He's also armed with a long blade.

I really liked they added doors that acts as teleports. He even can get a free grab if a survivor inside one of these doors. Another huge reason I'm quite happy about the character. Actor Matthew Lillard reprised the role in a Legacy skin for Springtrap. I know some might be a bit disappointed he doesn't get to reprise Stu from the original Scream in the game.

I'm happy he done a lot of voice overs for the game. They done an amazing job looking like him from those FNaF movies. People waited a long time for the franchise to show up. I felt they truly delivered bringing it to the game. I was hoping for some Shaggy jokes. Considering Lillard also famous being Shaggy in many Scooby-Doo things.

Of course, we have to talk about Stranger Things Vecna. I can't go any further without discussing the elephant in the room. Now the game has two different Vecnas. Which is mind blowing but they did replied to a question about that. The way they view the situation is they're both incredibly different from each other.

They may share the same atlas but they truly are vastly different characters. D&D version is more magical while Stranger Things version being more mental powers theme. ST Vecna not only inspired by D&D Vecna. Some of the licensed killers they already gotten also were inspirations as well . Pinhead in terms of his terrifying presence.

Freddy a bit more interesting in this situation. In a way, both target people through their minds. One of Vecna's hands strikingly similar to Freddy's claw glove. Robert Englund plays Vecna's dad on the show. ST Vecna plays very differently from D&D Vecna. He also has some cool cosmetic skins. Another huge difference is what they're called in the game.

I absolutely loved how over the top violent his mori is. Another spinning saw animatronics shows up. Springtrap forces survivors to get sawed up. I highly doubt people wanted to see an empty animatronic gets stuffed with a survivor. This is easily among my favorite moris from a licensed killer in the game. Some might criticize the length a little bit though.

D&D Vecna called The Lich while ST Vecna called The First. The later led to confusion for those that haven't seen the show. Some quickly saw it as D&D Vecna was the first. In a few ways they would be right. But the usage of the name was actually meant for being the first test subject. I'm glad Eleven also finally in the game, she belongs in there.

This might come off as another hot take. Why Dustin out of all the possible characters they could've chosen. Yes I'm aware characters like Eddie were Legacy skins. But shouldn't this easily been either Hopper or Max? Hopper became Eleven's dad thanks to a scientist. He's been through some crazy situations himself.

Max was one of ST Vecna's targets to start the final phase of his plan. She ended up being trapped inside his mind a good while. I mean look Dustin is a character a lot of people loves or at least respects to a degree. This virtually has nothing about the actor's disability either. I'll lose respect anyone trying to play this on that.

They actually given ST Vecna two moris in the game. I liked both of them more than expected. Some players felt D&D Vecna better but it depends on things including your taste in things. I do like they also given him a lot of voice overs. It's not from the actual actor but still sounds great. I just wished his bio had more interesting stuff written than what it actually is.

Conclusion

In recent years it's more fun to watch Dead by Daylight then actually play it. Survivors constantly gen rushing with the developers doing nothing about. Many questionable changes with selling out on cosmetics. I bet all of their kids went to rather decent universities or colleges by now. I don't support those aspects of it's future.

The actual aspects I truly give a damn about though. They could go for more iconic horror franchises. Personally I want more indie horror franchises. As long they kept going for some of my favorite franchises. I'll always be close by watching them. Honestly, for a few years that's what kept me interested in Dead by Daylight.

Even if some aspects of the characters is a little disappointing. Like I get why they taken Chucky from Child's Play 2. Which is actually my favorite Chucky movie. But I felt not going for Cult of Chucky or Chucky show limited some of that potential. I really was hoping being to swap between multiple dolls in the maps.

This also would've given them more to work with the cosmetics. Speaking of which, Tiffany in the game as a Legacy skin for Chucky. Yes Jennifer Tilly reprised the role with several of her own voice overs. Another massive disappointment I can't let go even if Hellraiser DLC gone. I really wanted the hospital with some sections being Hell from Hellbound: Hellraiser 2 movie as a map.

We only gotten Pinhead with Chatterer being a Legacy skin. Do I even need to mention Remake Freddy? Englund more recently wants to do the character one more time. This could be that final time we ever get to hear him as Freddy. Yeah not even as a Legacy skin with voice overs. This next hot take might actually upset Saw fans.

I personally dislike Amanda a lot. I was hoping for Agent Hoffman instead. Obviously who wants to play as a dying old man? There's been a few Saw movies since then. She also has some cosmetics with some looking better than others. For me, that's the one aspect of Saw chapter I disliked. Everything else about it was surprisingly done amazingly well.

I know some of this might be viewed as me having high standards. I previously confessed to several things I had such standards for. But this is currently being seen as the big crossover horror video game. You sorta want the very best they could possibly give. I do think there's always room to grow. Sadly some of the stuff they're focusing on actually what's killing the game they're working on.

It also doesn't help Fortnite and Call of Duty been adding in licensed characters. Indirectly making a lot of people sick of crossovers. Especially when I was a kid playing video games. Crossovers within em was such a rarity. Now it's virtually everywhere to the point it's too difficult to ignore anymore. So I would understand those people not supporting em for many reasons.

The crazy part is Dead by Daylight developers thinks there's ten more years worth of content. Who really wants to play the game for twenty years straight? You could be missing out on a lot of newer games you wanna play. Possibly a lot of classics you previously had or never played before. It quickly felt like you're missing so much in your life.

I already reached the point if I do return it'll be brief. Just long enough to maybe enjoy something then leave. Which is a real shame that's the current state of this horror game. It used to be more balanced as well as more actual fun. Now it felt too survivor focused to the point. Any major killer players still playing already knows hours wasted before they resume playing it.

I may get what I need out while I'm here. I wanna support the crossovers as much as I could. But if they really don't change their priories soon. They may loss a warning amount of people playing the game. They even went forward with a controversial update they previously delayed. I think the point was cancel it altogether could've saved your game guys!!!

The fact they did not care enough to do that one update means they only care about the money. I really don't wanna view it that way. But it would explain the sheer lack of trying to fix things for killer players. They believe more money in making survivor players happier than those players. When they should've tried to balance things for both sides was the right way to go about this.

Dead by Daylight 10th Anniversary Killer guess

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I may been away from Dead by Daylight. I always kept a close eye to see whose coming to the game. Yesterday, we gotten a short clip that really gotten people talking. Usually they do a huge requested licensed chapter for their anniversaries. There's a huge possibly one of my most wanted horror icons finally coming to the game despite things.

Prior to this clip, a lot of people were convinced we're getting Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th. Jason always been among the most requested horror icons to come to the game for a long time. This short clip officially ruled him out for the upcoming anniversary chapter. Personally before the clip I was thinking Art the Clown from Terrifier series.

Considering Terrifier 4 on the way meant to end the series. Art became a huge request among the horror icons as well. Sadly he also gotten ruled out by this clip. The actual clip in question shows a young guy on a train. They quickly throw in clues forcing you to pause often. You also might have to get a little creative to see some of these clues.

People noticed the word Circus was on the train. The more interesting portions are at a subway. The bigger clues showed up that made it more obvious. Like what appears to be Stephen with a crown drawn above. Obviously the famous horror author Stephen King. When the glass broke like that at a nearby building. It was playing off that scene in It: Chapter Two with a kid.

You know the mess up scene Bill couldn't save the boy then watched him die horribly. Which also involved glass getting broken. If you pause at the right time, the guy's eyes goes white. A reference to seeing the Deadlights. The narrator sounds a little too much like Pennywise from the movies as well as It: Welcome to Derry show.

The guy in question looks like a younger Stephen King. Some people possibly think it's King as a survivor. Which would directly reference his many cameos among his adaptations over the years. Assuming this was him we been watching the entire time. The ending portions of the narration was directly describing Pennywise.

Yes this also would fit the description of The Entity. This thing has a lot of killers from many universes. I'm curious to see if The Entity forced Pennywise to serve it or they have a neutral agreement. Which means they would often share those trapped within the realms. The constant fear in those realms means Pennywise doesn't need to hibernate anymore.

The number 13 is a few possible references. It movie the majority of the Losers club was around 13 years old. It turns out Stephen King also has a fear of the number 13. Some saw this as a direct reference to Friday the 13th franchise. I can't argue it isn't by any means. Stephen King isn't a fan of video games. Assuming we're actually getting Pennywise is truly mind blowing.

I will be more honest, I don't think they stop at getting Pennywise. This is their tenth anniversary for the game. I actually think if they gotten King on board. They possibly went for some of his most iconic villains. Which means if I'm right we're finally getting a multi killer chapter. I know another huge requested horror icon was Jack Torrance from The Shining.

In particular the movie King hated but he okayed Doctor Sleep movie being a sequel to that. His dislike for the movie led to making The Shining Miniseries. I would be surprised if we're also getting Torrace. King made him the Miniseries version was in the game as a Legacy cosmetic. I don't think he would've agree otherwise.

Another huge one I think they possibly going for. He actually better ties into how The Entity does things. The Man in Black who has many names through out King's multiverse. A evil magic user that easily have some famous Legacy skins. They also could give The Houndmaster's dog a Cujo Legacy skin as well.

Which would be rather sick if they do. Also tie in to the upcoming Cujo remake. We also possibly could get Carrie. Not a lot of people knows this Carrie was his first horror novel he's written. Which quickly gotten adapted into a classic movie. For some reason already getting remade again!!! I also saw Annie Wilkes from Misery getting thrown around.

Personally if Wilkes coming to the game. I really hope they bring in Kathy Bates to reprise the role. She's an amazing actress, she would do truly amazing for this version of the character. They also possibly could go for George Stark from The Dark Half. A fictional character that died in his book series.

He ends up coming to the real world to force his author to bring him back to life. Essentially being the author's dark side a truly horrible person. Considering for a few Legacy skins, The Entity made digital characters into actual living beings. This would fit in with The Entity plus won't need his humanity removed.

Stark would be a rather interesting choice. There's a lot of Stephen King characters to choose from. If I had to pick one to be the main survivor character. No one even comes close to Roland Deschain from The Dark Tower series. This man traveled a few universes to reach the tower. No one is more prepared for this hell than Deschain.

He directly would tie in to The Entity taken a lot of people across universes. Of course, The Entity remove any real way to fight back. In all honestly, this character really needs a more faithful adaptation. This could be that if Roland coming to the game. I highly doubt an handful of King's villains work together.

Let me clarify since a few killers has allies to a degree. I don't think we would have a few of them in the matches together. This would make the game unbalanced as well as confusing to play. All the crazy possibilities depending which villain characters were chosen. If The Twins made anything clear, people don't wanna swap between killers.

I also doubt all of them being force to share one killer slot. Which would bag a lot of questions with too little answers. King still writing books today is a testament in itself. I always wanted some of these characters in Dead by Daylight. I know rather ambitious guess for their upcoming tenth anniversary. But if you think about it, this would be the perfect opportunity to go that ambitious.

This could be a once in a life time opportunity. I'm hoping they actually convinced King to be on board with this. In my mind, it isn't just Pennywise we're getting. The fear not getting any of them led to more of his characters getting in the game possibly. Which is quite crazy logic when you think about it. If I were doing this anniversary chapter, Stephen King among my top choices.

Yes even higher than Jason and Art respectively. I do think eventually those horror icons going to be in the game in the near future. Pennywise's popularity kept going up with his adaptations for the most part. It: Welcome to Derry already blowing people away. I know some people doesn't want another clown in the game.

Yes his most famous form is a clown. But Pennywise essentially be whatever he wants to be as well. This is why I strongly felt he's going to be called The Shape Shifter. I highly doubt they call him The It or The Thing. The later being another huge requested horror icon I really want in the game. The fact people also requesting Art the Clown should say something.

I do felt more indie horror franchises needs to be in the game. Some of the ones I seen or played were truly amazing stuff. This also gives us a lot of possible Legacy skins for the survivors. I don't think they're going for He Who Walks Behind the Rows from Children of the Corn series. This character is widely inconsistent in the actual movies making it very frustrating.

Which version of the character to use. We already have a few maps with corn fields. I also don't think Children of the Corn franchise is popular enough either. Personally my most hated horror movie franchise. A slight chance they might possibly consider going for Pet Sematary. King confessed this was among his books that scares him the most.

There's a few movies of the franchise people still talks about. The concept involves burying people and animals at an Indian burial ground. Their corpses becomes possessed doing unspeakable things. They actually could add in a new mechanic for the concept. Sure this could cause some problems being a new feature.

At the same time, survivors could finally continue playing after being killed or sacrificed. This would be mind blown for such a game. The fallen are now assisting the killer or killers in 2v8 mode to go after their former team mates. This by itself could bring a lot to the overall experience. This would be among my biggest ifs if they're going for Stephen King.

At the same time, people would have a lot of fun with this!!! King easily tie in to majority what's already in Dead by Daylight. Hell King himself could be the new killer. He is among the most broken characters in his own multiverse. Another cool idea if The Observer still alive within the realms. He could team up with King to directly face The Entity.

King being in the game could go in so many different directions. Honestly, it would make me briefly come back to the game to play his characters. Stephen King always meant a lot to me for a long time. To be honest, some of the newer licensed killers I been interested to play as well. I highly doubt they reveal Pennywise being The Entity.

If it were to be the case. Then Pennywise unofficially was the first licensed horror icon in the game. Beating out Michael Myers from Halloween franchise. I highly doubt that's how they wanna blow our minds. Stephen King simply brings a ridiculous amount of possibilities with him. I really hoping they went big with the horror author.

I did figure out the newer number puzzle. Chigge, I looked up to find Chiggers not racist I promise. It led to a particular type of insects. Now Pennywise also has a famous insect form. Which further confirmed to me it's Pennywise the short clip was talking about. Pennywise is one of a couple beings to predate the multiverse's existence.

We already gotten Freddy in the game sadly based on A Nightmare on Elm Street remake version. The Dredge itself would be similar to cursed spirits in Jujutsu Kaisen and devils in Chainsaw Man. A being created out of composite fear from a small group. Inevitably we were going to get a being more god like that loves causing fear.

Now I know Dungeons & Dragons Vecna was a threat to his multiverse. The fact an handful of these killers are on such a scale. Speaks volumes how truly powerful The Entity possibly could be. This could be the most insane amount of licensed content for an anniversary chapter to date. I really hope that ends up being the case here.

What I hope to see is full blown fan service. A massive love letter to Stephen King's works. Literately in nearly every possible way. We're getting some rather cool, sick stuff. For this to be done justice it needs to be very overwhelming. This is Stephen King we're talking about here. To just go for one character easily could be seen as a huge insult to him as well as his legacy.

Even if that character was Pennywise, the people always wants more. King been giving the world nightmares since 1974. I expect whatever what we're given to be very well designed. I also hope they really add in a lot of references to his stories. We also possibly getting some rather amazing animations. Not only that, some amazing voice overs.

If they get Bill Skarsgard to reprise the role. A lot of people stopped whatever they're doing to check out Pennywise. Even if he doesn't, they'll find someone that could somehow make it work. I highly doubt the legendary Jack Nicholson briefly gets out of retirement to reprise his role as Jack Torrance. Thankfully Henry Thomas who played the character in Doctor Sleep available.

As for Carrie, which version would she be based on? The assumption would be the classic 1976 movie version. There's also a chance we might be getting the 2013 version of the character. I know some people expected The Mist to show up. I don't think they could do just one creature. Also I highly doubt they're used The Mist show for this.

If anything The Mist movie might give us characters or Legacy skin cosmetics. It would be tricky to blend in the mist with the fog. This is why I don't think they're going for The Mist. In all honestly, it's hard to tell which direction they're going. I still can't help some of these clues screaming Pennywise. I'm going to be incredibly disappointed it's nothing Stephen King at all.

Stephen King is ideal for a multiplayer horror game representing many types of fear. King himself has plenty of stories to directly tie into Dead by Daylight's lore. People forget they do connect licensed franchises by their stories being rewritten. Which makes me more curious how The Entity gotten any of these Stephen King characters?

You can tell I'm possibly reading incredibly deep about these clues. But you also can't blame me either. What's bigger than Jason right? Of course the horror author Stephen King. King could be bringing many gifts as well as surprises with him. If it turns out to be exactly what I think it is. This is easily going to be my favorite anniversary chapter for the game to date.

I also could've said beyond this point they aren't going to top it. Which says a lot about how essential it is to have Stephen King in the game. Two of the biggest horror things coming together. It's way better than the perfect sandwich. What we're getting is simply beyond gold. What we're possibly getting is something we may never ever see again.

This is exactly why I think they are going this big for Stephen King. Virtually majority of those requests with just enough to spice things up. How could any party lose on such an opportunity? Especially a mind blowing one that's going to change the world the moment the chapter hits. I do expect chaos in many forms with this!!!

Why Metal Gear should win the poll to get into GOG's preservation program?

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, not long ago today GOG started a poll for those in their patron program. Five classic games including the original Metal Gear are the choices. I will confess I actually haven't played the other four games selected for the poll prior to writing this. I did play through the original Metal Gear a few times.

Obviously everyone has different taste in things. It's even possible you may dislike all five games. Just like you actually love these games. The original Metal Gear was a mind blowing game for it's time. Legendary game developer Hideo Kojima came up with a surprisingly complex game. Prior to this, the world was more use to games killing enemies.

He threw in a twist you may not have enough ammo. You also had to get through trying to not cause alerts. This led to quite an unique experience. You had to use your wits to get around many situations. A lot of key cards to memorize where to use them. You use the codec to contract with a few characters. The story at first appeared simple until the twists started coming.

By the end of the game, everything you thought you knew was turned all upside down. You play as a young Solid Snake that's exploring a few locations. Here's a game that was previously thought to be impossible for MSX2. A lot of tricks you could do in the game was clear proof of fantastic game design. The audio as a whole is so iconic for that era.

I confess with a lot going on my end. I'm not in their patron program. I decided to write this to convince people to possibly vote for the original Metal Gear. Although it's a little indirectly led to a once truly fantastic, legendary game franchise. Considering the questionably designed NES counterpart game with it's own sequel.

You wouldn't have some of the finest stealth video games in history if this never existed. This by itself truly speaks volumes for it's legacy. You get to rescue a lot of people including the legendary Gray Fox. You also got a few floors to explore. Some rather unique puzzles I'm still impressed they pulled off. Some of the most intense boss fights in history of the genre.

Metal Gear is a game that completely changed the genre as a whole. It also changed how some people want to experience games with guns. There's a lot of people that prefers only using them when they need to. You also wouldn't have Assassin's Creed, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, Syphon Filter and Hitman without it.

The original Metal Gear is a true master piece. Despite not looking like much on the surface. Once you get beneath that wow this game truly delivers. You get such an amazing action stealth game. I also liked some boss fights forces you to take them on in particular ways. There's a good variety of enemies through out the games.

Obviously a lot of the bosses stands out. Very few were rather unexpected during an 1st playthrough if you didn't use any guides. You have a lot to remember as you're playing this. The journey getting to the end is just satisfying enough. Sometimes you may wanna replay the game again. I know the port I played had a boss rush that's well designed.

Konami nearly went bankrupt until the success of Metal Gear on NES true story. I won't get into the whole Hideo vs Konami situation. I will say this game was the beginning to Kojima's legendary career in gaming. I also gotta mention this ended up getting it's own direct sequel on the same computer system.

Which was truly mind blowing easily one of the greatest Metal Gear games I ever played!!! The original Metal Gear is essentially to gaming as a whole. In a game with the odds stacked against you. The challenge can differ many ways. You could play barely killing anyone but take longer or kill everything to run through it faster?

This game also allows you to make enemies unconscious a few ways. You even could sneak around inside a card board box. A recurring joke within the franchise. Translation can differ depending on which version you're playing. To clarify, there's a few translations for the original MSX2 version. The newer versions updated the character imagines within the codec.

Metal Gear is in a rather huge map connected by locations. Somehow Kojima found a way to make it work wonders. Essentially an 8-bit computer game pulled off this much!!! He's given us such an iconic stealth game hero. Every major location truly stands out. A lot of the appeal is talking to other characters.

Either upon rescuing them or through the codec. This game surprisingly has a lot of personality. Every weapon you get to wield all differs just enough to help make the game play exciting. One of my personal favorite weapons is a remote control rocket launcher. Easily among the most unique aspects of the game play.

You also gotta memorize trap locations as well as how to avoid them. Which can get rather tricky from trivial and error. Metal Gear will rough you up to a degree. Once you figured out a lot of stuff it becomes a fun action stealth game. Even with a lot of back tracking somehow it remains fun. The original Metal Gear truly deserves to be in that preservation program.

No disrespect towards Thief Gold, Thief II, Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive and Commandos Ammo Pack respectively. I'm sure those were such amazing classic games as well. I just can't deny everything that happened because of this classic stealth game. The original Metal Gear led to so many things since it's release.

Metal Gear is a game you must play before you die. Especially if you're a huge Metal Gear fan that surprisingly never played it before. I felt a lot of those people are in for quite a surprise. Yes this MSX2 game held up amazingly well to the test of time. I strongly felt this game should win the poll soon. Metal Gear is so essential to the gaming industry it deserves that spot.

Yhwach vs Lucius similarities

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I also been writing a long list of similarities between Bleach's Yhwach and Black Clover's Lucius Zogratis. The more I kept comparing the two, the more obvious Lucius really was another Yhwach. Also currently there isn't much to go on regarding their connections on the internet. I should share my list of similarities with some being quite surprising.

Yhwach and Lucius are the main antagonist of their respective stories.

Yhwach was the source of quincy powers while Lucius made himself the source of grimoires in the Clover Kingdom.

Yhwach was the son of the original Soul King while Lucius shared a body with his twin brother Julius.

Yhwach was the king of the quincies that commanded the Wandenreich that also rule Hueco Mundo later claimed his father's throne while Lucius manipulated his siblings that ruled the Spade Kingdom as well as his paladins.

Yhwach foreseen his demise by Ichigo while Lucius foreseen his demise by Asta and Yuno.

Yhwach made Uryu his successor while Yuno wanted to avenge Asta by defeating Lucius.

Some of the same powers they shared.

Yhwach shown Ichigo respect to a degree while Lucius never shown respect to Asta and desperately wanted respect from Yuno.

Yhwach turned off Masaki Kurosaki's powers led to her death while Lucius reincarnated Asta and Liebe's mom to use against them.

Yhwach was based on God whose name references his Jewish name YHWH that absorbed the original Soul King and Mimihagi to become the new Soul King while Lucius considered himself to be a god whose name is a variation of Lucifer.

Yhwach tricked Ichigo into killing the original Soul King while following Lucius' death, his brother Julius fixed things before he died.

Uryu fired a Still Silver arrow into Yhwach then rewrite the past to help Ichigo win while Julius stole control of their body forcing Lucius to take two slashes with both antagonists defeated the same way.

Yhwach attacked the Soul Society, Hueco Mundo and Soul King Palace while Lucius attacked Clover Kingdom, Heart Kingdom, Witches' Forest and Hino Country.

Upon absorbing the original Soul King gain a monsterous form while Lucius gain a new form after he became the source of grimoires in the Clover Kingdom.

Yhwach was an unusual being while Lucius whose possessed by a devil loss to Asta who lacked magic yet mastered usage of anti-magic that works outside of the natural order of things.

Original quincies gotten close to Yhwach that lasted over a thousand years before he threw away his people while Lucius forced his will onto others transforming them into his paladins.

Yhwach faded following his last conversation with Ichigo while Lucius faded following his last conversation mentally with his brother Julius.

When Yhwach is asleep, he swaps The Almighty with Jugram's The Balance while Julius and Lucius share the same body respectively swapping between black and blonde hair men.

Yhwach merged the human world, Hueco Mundo, the Soul Society and the Soul King Palace together to remove death altogether out of fear while Lucius planned to alter the world to remove death as part of his vision.

Yhwach wanted revenge against the soul reapers while Lucius upon seeing the future decided to make it happen.

Yhwach defeated Ichibe'e, the strongest of the 0 division captains in the Soul King Palace while Lucius finished off half of the devil Lucifero who was the strongest devil.

Rory disguised as Yhwach faced Yamamoto's Bankai forced him to face many fallen comrades while Lucius reincarnated a few deceased characters as his paladins.

Yhwach strip powers from impure quincies caused Kanae Katagiri, Uryu's mom to die while Lucius' siblings murdered Yuno's father.

Before connecting with humans, Yhwach couldn't do anything while Lucius wasn't able to walk before becoming possessed by a devil.

Yhwach was accompanied by two beings predating his existence that's connected to his father while Lucius' siblings were possessed by the three 3 strongest devils.

Yhwach became the new Soul King while Lucius took control of his brother Julius' body who was the Wizard King.

Conclusion

I was more surprised Lucius had more in common than Naruto's Kaguya. It's no surprise Yhwach could easily destroy the Black Clover verse with ease. It's debatable if Death Battle would do this match up. I am assuming they might also tie in to Black Clover ended this season we're in. What I do know is now I can say Lucius and Yhwach virtually are the same character.

Even considering their differences are among the most broken anime/manga villains I ever heard of. I seen enough anime to know that's quite an statement. This is going to be the last time I'll directly talk about this match up. For what it's worth it turned out to be a rather interesting match up. Despite being a huge stomp in favor of Yhwach.

Death Battle Fight Prediction: Yhwach (Bleach) vs Lucius Zogratis (Black Clover) Follow Up

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I realized there's some more information that wasn't in my fight prediction blog. In particular the one I wrote for Yhwach vs Lucius. Some of these following information quite interesting to simply leave out altogether. I figured why not do a follow up post adding in those missing parts of my argument?

Lucius couldn't foreseen futures affected by Asta. Now Asta himself lacks magic automatically making him being unable to be seen through that ability. Anti-magic from the devil Liebe actually works outside the natural order of things including most magic types. In comparison, Yhwach himself was a rather unusual spiritually being.

The Almighty operates similar to Asta's Anti-magic. Yhwach also absorbed two gods to become the new Soul King. Further making himself virtually unable to be seen in every future he affects. Considering he can rewrite them, this means every future Lucius foreseen doomed to fail. Yhwach automatically affecting every future at once.

Aizen used Hado #99: Goryutenmetsu which is capable of erasing anything from existence. This technique unleashed five energy dragons that either absorbs or destroys spiritual energy with the area. Yhwach was capable of surviving against such an technique.

A variation of the concept exists with Asta's Anti-magic that effectively nullifies magic even of the strongest magic types. I will quickly go over a few magic types that follows some or all Hado #99's description to a degree. You can bet some of these are truly ridiculous themselves.

His former captain Yamo had Dimensional Slash. Which is capable of destroying magic as well as cut through dimensions!!! Both Lucifero and Lucius through Gravity magic create black holes. Word Soul magic can use words to destroy, erase or create including magic attacks.

Absorption magic can absorb massive amounts of magic then release it. Which also makes the user almost immune to elemental attacks. Demon Fire magic uses fire to burn through magic including concepts that do not exist physically. Yes this actually is a concept within Black Clover.

I bring up all of these magic types because Yhwach survived Hado #99. Which could absorb or destroy anything within it's radius. Yhwach was at the center of that meaning Lucius won't get far with making black holes. By now you should be seeing how truly ridiculous Yhwach actually is!!!

Asta's swords differ in some way how they work. Demon-Slayer Sword can destroy or deflect any magic spell. Demon-Dweller Sword can absorb magic of opponents then releases it as slashes. Demon-Destroyer Sword can erase magic effects which does include complex spells as well as curses.

Asta also has a technique called Black Hurricane that was used in his final duel against Yuno. A spin attack that absorbs all magic in a huge location. Obviously Asta's usage of Anti-magic comes the closest to Hado #99. Ultimately along with Yuno was the one to put Lucius down for good.

The only reason it took so long for the duo to defeat him. Lucius was constantly focus on avoiding making contact with Asta's Anti-magic. Almost the entire time including the short gap Asta was out the fight. It even highly suggests Asta's Anti-magic was capable of fully nullifying Lucius' ridiculous amount of magic.

I did take a closer look at Steel magic. Which is quite a versal magic type itself. Unfortunately, Lucius wouldn't know anything about Still Silver arrows. Sure he could create steel arrows with the magic type. Lucius won't know he would need Yhwach's blood.

Not to mention, Yhwach cast Auswashlen first. Then apply Yhwach's blood to that arrow to temporary disable his powers. To sum it up, he could in theory recreate the arrow. He just lacks the other essentials to make that happen. Also if this were an one on one fight there wouldn't be any other quincies.

Therefore, Yhwach simply wouldn't have a reason to cast that. Further removing a possible win condition for Lucius off the board. Another huge factor is later in the story Lucius directly controlled a lot of people. Essentially being the one will concept in an army like Dr. Robotnik.

This means while facing Asta and Yuno. He was controlling a lot of characters at the same time with huge distances included. On paper, this could be ideal in the event Lucius were to get close to being defeated. But his over confidence going to work against him.

Lucius could have his entire army. Yhwach by himself could easily destroy em. There's still a critical factor I surprisingly forgot to mention. Well it was mentioned when I discussed Yhwach vs Kaguya though. Yhwach is spiritually connected to every quincy there ever was.

We know a lot of quincies we seen in the final arc are soul reaper captain levels. Everyime a quincy dies, Yhwach gets a longer life span, their abilities and added more raw power applied to his own. Yes both of them were essentially the strongest character within their respective manga series.

Yhwach actually gains more from his spiritual connections. Lucius mostly gains their grimoires with whatever spells were inside after they died. This also means Yhwach knows of a lot more abilities with plenty unknown ones. It is possible very few abilities Lucius has, Yhwach surprisingly never heard of.

This also means Yhwach other than the usual steps to regain his powers. Which does notably differ in time before he can do those processes. Everytime a quincy dies, he automatically gets boosted up. In comparison, Lucius had to do a few additional things. Like devouring the heart of the devil Lucifero whose half was in hell during that encounter.

He also had to do a process to add his siblings along with their respective devils' magic types to his own. He also shares the body of the Wizard King for majority of the story. He cheated his way to becoming the strongest magic user in the series. Yhwach's spiritual connection already given him much more plus he even take back powers while killing em as well.

Yhwach can just focus on his goal outside the process of fully regaining his powers. Lucius secretly planned to make himself into a god. Majority what we know of that he went out of his way to do. A major difference in how they do things. This is exactly what happens when you compare a ridiculous character against an even more ridiculous character.

Lucius' light speed came from Light magic. Which also could be used to directly attack an country from the air with many projectiles. It's debatable how fast Lucius could be when Light magic no longer usable. Going back to manipulating a lot of people for a moment.

Yhwach is really overwhelming for an opponent to begin with. There's no way Lucius could keep up with many situations with his paladins while facing him. Yhwach not using abilities from his people is actually a good thing. We don't truly know how ridiculous Yhwach possibly could've been.

If there was a timeline version that would use their abilities over his own The Almighty. I still could say Yhwach easily going to win this fight. A lot of quincies has some rather broken powers. Quincies actually could win against elves from Black Clover.

When I was in the process getting further into Black Clover manga series. At the time, slowly getting caught up. I kept realizing how strikingly similar The Elf Reincarnation Arc was to Thousand-Year Blood War Arc as a whole. The elves waited around five hundred years to attack the Clover Kingdom.

Which was half the time the quincies waited to attack the soul reapers in the Soul Society. This matters because Lucius also had the elves' Ultimate magic type. In his rather long list of abilities. Essentially it embodies all of the magic of it's user and creates a unique, powerful spell. Basically this particular magic type successfully combines with all other magic types Lucius has.

It's hard to believe all of this didn't make it into the actual fight prediction blog. But in a way I'm glad I could still present more information that was indirectly left out. Lucius was more evil and selfish than Yhwach as surprisingly that might be for some. Ultimately, Yhwach was this insanely well covered truly mind blowing!!!

Responding to Too Much Anime on Death Battle criticism

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I been hearing a rather silly, harsh criticism about the web show Death Battle. This could've been before they officially stated to be more into doing anime theme episodes. A lot of people are sick of them doing those episodes. To be fair, we already have a few episodes this year with anime characters.

At the same time, I actually plan to defend Death Battle on this criticism. Unlike Marvel vs DC episodes, there's so many possible angles left to go. There's plenty of characters from franchises they used before. There's also a good amount of manga/anime franchises they haven't done before. The only major thing hurting future ones is the short gap between them.

The possibilities of match ups is virtually endless. A major factor why manga series beating out comic books is their universes for the most part doesn't do multiverses often. In fact, as insane a lot of them goes kept things from getting to that point. Suddenly comparing them is more of an unique experience. There's a very large variety of abilities in manga series.

Even considering the usual powers you see in majority of them. Somehow they differ just enough to bring something amazing to these characters. When they done Bakugo vs Reze, this was virtually that in a nut shell. We were given two characters with a vastly different take on the concept of explosions. There's still plenty amazing stories that could be told through their show.

Death Battle done many anime theme episodes on the show. Vegeta was the first anime character they used on the show. This criticism felt like people didn't understand Chainsaw Man always had intentional sexual moments. I'm not going to criticize something that was always there in some form. Anyone doing so really doesn't understand what they're watching.

Sure an handful of anime franchises they love doing. I will be honest I'm getting a little sick of seeing characters from. Either Dragon Ball, My Hero Academia and Naruto respectively. Once again there's plenty other anime franchises they easily could've done!!! I'm also sure most Death Battle viewers has a huge list of anime characters they wanna see on the show.

Not too long ago, I made a list of that myself here. I really do see the potential of anime episodes. Let me put it in another yet unique way. They could do some concepts again but somehow it comes out quite differently. This by itself is exactly why I continue to support them doing anime episodes. Even if a couple I could be brutally honest coughs Liam was bias with questionable logic.

No surprise I'm still heavily disappointed about Aizen vs Madara. Especially now in Ichigo vs Yusuke, you guys finally acknowledged indirectly that also was wrong!!! They were going to do that match up way sooner. But swapped Yusuke out for Naruto for more views confirmed by the way. I'm going to call this out while I'm here.

You guys should've given us Ichigo vs Yusuke from the start. By changing it to Ichigo vs Naruto, you decided to sell out rather than give people the match up they really wanted!!! Yes I know this plays more into the Big 3 rivalry. Which also why Luffy vs Naruto a huge request I can't stand the least. To me, it just makes sense to do Ichigo vs Yusuke.

After all, the show is about putting two or more similar characters against each other. Even I felt with Death Battle wiki thank you finally made sense of Ichigo vs Naruto. I was honestly confused by the match up. I also gotta criticize once again Aang vs Edward Elric. Thankfully Aang going to lose against Traveler so it's all good now.

I'm also glad they also see how much this brings to the show. Obviously a lot of people whose into anime more willing going to watch these episodes. I don't think anime episodes is killing the show. What could seriously hurt them though is some questionable logic. I mean seriously they given the speed advantage to Bardock from a filler Goku feat wow!!!

People always going to criticize scaling. Let's be honest that's any match up they do on the show. They could do so much with anime characters. Maybe distance the usage of a few franchises could go a long way. This is also upsetting some people. More recently, we're getting another episode with an Chainsaw Man character.

Literately two episodes later that's not much of a gap guys!!! To be fair, Yuji vs Denji despite the toxicity it's bringing. Actually a rather unique match up for what it is. In a way anime episodes kept bringing this show back from many declines it had over the years. By this point, it's amazing their backs didn't break yet.

I also question how exactly do they pick their match ups? I know a large amount of the episodes were highly requested to the show. I still gotta bag the question at times. Death Battle team are huge anime fans for a long time. Honestly, it's mind blowing a lot of people don't see some of what I'm saying. In fact, a lot of them are just plain tired of seeing anime characters.

Another notable factor is they reused some of these characters. Vegeta later came back to face Thor, I loved that episode!!! Shadow came back to face Ryuko from Kill la Kill. More recently, Metal Sonic came back to face Perfect Cell. I think another factor surprisingly not a lot of people say. They don't do the most wanted match ups for some characters when they first used them.

This also resulted in some match ups people weren't as crazy for or simply not expected at all. A great example of this was Asta vs Deku. At the time, Deku's most requested opponent was Miles Morales from Marvel. Eventually Deku came back to face Miles on the show. Indirectly, some people were rubbed the wrong way by this.

I also loved they do some of these match ups in 3D animations. Personally my overall favorite style is hand drawn. Sometimes that could involve using sprites. If it's fully hand drawn I absolutely loved watching them. Suddenly I'm watching both of their shows at the same time. At least, that's how I felt about them.

Besides Goku vs Superman situation that ended up with three episodes. I know some comic book characters only face comic book characters from a rival comic book company. To be brutally honest, this gotten rather old. The well virtually dried up years ago by this point. Thanks to a weird loop hole coughs Dragon Ball fans caused.

They put Vegito vs Gogeta as a season finale episode. The only episode Goku gets used in both fusion styles. They made a wish themselves to make an impossible match up happen. Eventually it would be nice Goku faces someone who isn't Superman. The fact they're actually considering to do Composite Goku vs Composite Ryu idea.

Which would include every single version of both characters. Now that's a ridiculous amount of research on both sides. Despite not being a fan of the match up. I did respect they chosen to use alternative universe versions of Trunks and Silver the Hedgehog. This by itself was a rather unique take on the concept that goes way further than their main canon versions.

We actually need more episodes like this on the show. This really would help bring in more people to watch the show. Let's be honest, some alternate versions of characters more interesting. People wants Heaven Ascension DIO whose a rather broken version of the character. This by itself really opens the doors to some mind blowing possibilities.

I felt a lot of people are looking at the glass half empty rather than half full. Once in a blue moon, they used controversial manga/anime characters like Guts or Lucy. To be honest, this also really need to start doing this more. There's some rather interesting characters out there. Even if some stuff they done may rub people the wrong way.

Anime episodes is far from being over. They easily could put anime characters against any media character. Not only that, majority of anime characters they used are Shonen characters. They previously stated Shonen Jump characters to be the Japanese comic book equal to Marvel and DC respectively. Which brings me to a rather unique perceptive.

They should start using anime characters of other genres. Suddenly these anime episodes becomes gateways getting into those genres. Thus, both sides would ultimately gets more fans in the long run. Honestly, this also could be game changing for the web show. Other than that, I still felt they're heading into a decent direction.

Monkeybone (2001) review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, here's one of the weirdest movies from my teen years. More recently are finding out about today's movie. Some considered it the early 2000s Beetlejuice. Which is actually saying a lot here. I'm going to review Monkeybone, easily one of the strangest movies of that era I seen.

Monkeybone (2001)

The story follows an animator whose in a coma. He gets to explore the afterlife meeting several of his creations. Among them was Monkeybone whose a recurring cartoon character in his work. For those that haven't seen the movie, it's quite a strange movie. Monkeybone came up with a plan to steal his animator's body in the real world.

They actually referenced author Stephen King!!! I liked King confirms Cujo as in the famous dog in one of his stories taken over his body. Yeah I can't imagine how ugly things went. This movie also had a difficult production including the original director fired.

According to Rose McGowan, she preferred this unique scrapped concept over what ended up happening. It sounds like the replacement director didn't know what he was doing. It often gets compared to Beetlejuice since it's also a dark comedy movie with the afterlife.

I will say Whoopi Goldberg as the Grim Reaper works way better than you think. I liked she has several extra skulls in the event the one she's using gets destroyed. We actually see the animator Stu take over a corpse to stop Monkeybone. It turns out the guy running this location Stu was at turned out to be the Grim Reaper's brother.

His creations gets to watch Stu's nightmares every night treating it like a great movie. I know saying this movie was strange following Brendan Fraser in another movie. Bedazzled is already quite puzzling indeed!!! In Bedazzled, he made a deal to get a lot of wishes from the devil.

Somehow this ended up being even weirder than that. I kinda liked the main afterlife location of the movie. Sure this also reminded me of Corpse Bride to a degree. Thankfully differs more than Beetlejuice Beetlejuice did to that movie. McGowan plays one of my favorite characters in the movie.

She plays Missy Kitty whose a cat lady that befriends Stu. Possibly among the most normal people Stu meets there. Monkeybone reminded me of Roger Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? movie. Just not quite as rememberable that's a bit annoying. I first seen the movie as a video rental from a local library.

The same library I gotten into Ninja Scroll movie funny enough. Yes the same location I also was introduced to Bedazzled as well. Somehow memories stayed with me a long time. Monkeybone was easily the strangest movie I rented from a library. I felt some scenes works a little better when you're in the right state of mind.

It wouldn't say it's a terrible movie. It's not great by any means. Especially compared to the original Beetlejuice movie. It still had some unique looking designs as well as visuals. Both of which also sticked with me. Monkeybone may not be for everyone. It also reminds me of a particular Stephen King story, The Dark Half.

The Dark Half involved the author who wrote a successful book series. Then he decided to end the character. Somehow that character came back to life but in the real world. Which led to the confrontation prior to George's demise. I'm more familiar with the movie version myself.

Somehow Monkeybone even stranger than that!!! Keep in mind, CGI was in it's early years. The movie blends CGI with a mix of stop motion animation as well as live action thrown in. Personally I felt that somehow came together a little better than expected.

I also liked how most reapers looked in the movie. The movie ends with both Stu and Monkeybone back in the afterlife. Death forced Monkeybone back inside Stu's head. Then Stu wakes up for a happy ending. The actual ending is among the best parts of the movie.

One of the strangest early 2000 scenes that isn't necessary horror. We see this guy used to work with Stu tried out this spray Monkeybone had made. The scene suddenly turned into a 360 of a person's sanity. We find out Monkeybone promised Death's brother to give people nightmares.

Let's be honest, this plot comes off like a weird drug. They wanna get people sprayed to instantly start having nightmares for their own amusement at their expense. We even get to see an older person get sent out to come back to life. The way the movie played it off like someone just won the lottery.

Monkeybone is a movie that's always been at the back of my mind. I'm not even sure how exactly I truly feel about this movie. It wasn't full blown terrible neither it was among the greatest movies I ever seen. I would say right around the middle is this movie.

You wish several things were either done a little better or done very differently. The story could've been much more than what we actually gotten. End of the day, Monkeybone always going to be among Fraser's weirder aspects of his past. Fraser had quite a successful career since the movie.

This movie is like a much less focus Beetlejuice. To be honest, I preferred Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey. Which also was a dark comedy movie involving the afterlife. Yet I felt that movie worked amazingly well compared to this. Now that's a decade prior to Monkeybone.

Monkeybone is a movie you should see at least once. Otherwise you won't understand how tricky it is to describe the movie. I felt I already named an handful of similar movies better than it. I also felt Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is slightly better as well. I know some would prefer Monkeybone over Dudley Do-Right movie.

Yes another Fraser movie get use to it. This one was based on the classic cartoon show of the same name. Sure the movie isn't perfect but Fraser tried his best. I actually liked Alfred's performance as Snidley Whiplash in the movie. It was somewhat closer to the cartoon show than some live action adaptation movies.

Even Monkeybone was a little better than The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas. Which was released the previous year to Monkeybone. I know some reviewers didn't like the first live action Flintstones movie, I loved it!!! I rather rewatch Monkeybone than that Flintstone prequel movie!!!
