Something related to Doctor Who and I not sure how reliable the OP is with the evidence is.

Minecraft CRT, can you please give your thoughts?

Hey, can you give your input on this thread and especially its counter arguments? We really need another staff input before it becomes a 11 page CRT like it once happened (most arguments were resumed on page 4 btw)

Yo, Deangox, if you wanna to continue our discussion we had in the GoW general thread, I'll like doing it with a conversation thread rather then the Gow general since it seems our conversations usually make the thread argumentative, a bit heated, and just demeaning to the other supporters.

The novel describes Kratos as needing to grind them into dust to prevent them from reforming. I am aware this is secondary canon, but I am using this to make a comparison. The finishers/hammer serve a similar purpose, the guide describes this as "finishing them off" and that the hammer has "extra power" to "easily smash them into pieces."

It gives a similar impression that this hammer and finishers simply achieve a level of damage beyond what normal attacks can inflict. Even in the hammer gif above, you can see the O button spinning above the skeleton, he's ready for a finisher and nearly dead, but even more hits from the hammer do not fully finish it yet.

I agree it's slightly muddy, but that seems more likely to be a result of game mechanics than an unmentioned negation. The guide describes why the hammer works in place of a finisher and decides to address the fact that it can smash them into pieces. The book speaks to a similar framework even if it's represented differently. I don't think the theory of negation is solid enough to warrant indexing, the damage threshold has its own bumps but it seems much more natural given the information we do have. Significantly so.

I still think there are problems to have with the conclusion.

If the Hammer smashing them to pieces was why it can easily kill them, then why does the guidebook tell us that Kratos's blades can, as per the text, be "effective at breaking to pieces" and still need a finisher to or the hammer to legitimately end them. It feels contradictory for the damage to be described as the same and for both to have different effects.

But I do see it being far more plausible now, that Kratos is simply reaching a damage threshold to end these pests rather then posses an entire full on ability to end them.

I understand that issue, but despite the similar description the book is expressing that "easily smashing them to pieces with extra power" is why the hammer kills them. The fact that the swords "break them into pieces" must be considered distinct from this despite being similar.

I don't disagree that this is a bit awkward, but the negation stance is IMO a fair bit more clunky in terms of what kind of assumptions and mechanisms are involved.

However it seems like we more or less have reached a common understanding.
Hi. Can you check this calc please. Just supporting feat.

Every time a gunshot does not connect isn't a feat of dodging the bullet, man. People in Walking Dead just miss a pretty realistic amount of the time.

I'm tired of the constant nega-feats like this being brought up for evaluation over and over. I don't know how to help you people, or whether you even really want to be helped.
Could you give the okay to using the new calc since the old one uses an outdated size (you already evaluated to new calc)
