Loki Laufeyson Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I can't think of an instance I've liked. Not even when Wayne or Garth talked to the camera? Or when Ed O'neil talked to the camera and Wayne says only he and Garth can talk to the camera? Only on some occasions, such as when it would be shit-wreckingly hilarious Indeed. Im ok with fourth wall breaks or leaning on it in certain instances. In super serious stories, no wai, but in comedies and satires, oh bring it on!

Passionfruit Cappuccino Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Well, Deadpool did it in hilarious fashion in his own game, so im ok with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mewyeon Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I actually like it when they break the fourth wall. I do wish they'd do it more often, tbh ;) Don't judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Depending on if it fits It works well in Deadpool but it may be jarring in something else Edited December 23, 2014 by Thor Odinson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rxmonste Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 When it's not overdone it is actually pretty hilarious to see. Some do it in a stylish way like Marvel's Deadpool. If you do it in something that is to be taken seriously then it actually can work as proven by Metal Gear. But not when it's done too much, because that can hurt the overall experience.

Draco Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 When it's not done too much, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I prefer two forms: 1. Outright parody - make it as disgustingly obvious as possible 2. Subtle - as in, it doesn't break immersion (Pokemon's tutorials are an example of how NOT to do it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaze Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Favourite remake: Final Fantasy I (Remade for the GBA). Great game made even better on the GBA system. I put all kinds of time into that thing. Fourth wall: Usually unacceptable. Okay in some instances for comedy. A good thing in a handful of instances such as House of Cards. Never seen an acceptable second attempt. Supernatural, that means you. Edited December 23, 2014 by Makaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euklyd Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Discworld says yes, and is in a class of its own. In general, yes, so long as it's done well and is appropriate to the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Not even when Wayne or Garth talked to the camera? Or when Ed O'neil talked to the camera and Wayne says only he and Garth can talk to the camera? Never seen that. I just mean, I don't think it's a bad thing in general. I just can't remember any examples I might have liked. But then Euklyd posted Discworld so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrhesia Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Question 419. What are your thoughts on hard cash as a gift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Best gift one can give, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) I think it's better if you're the kind of gift giver who either knows the person receiving the gift to give them something they will like - especially when you are the kind of gift giver who can scrounge something up that the person never knew they wanted, but enjoy upon receiving. But if you're not, I don't see much difference between giving a gift card and giving hard cash - and I think both are acceptable.
