Pretty much. As Xiraiya said as well, screen tearing is shit.
By the way how goes the JoJo? Finish it?

Turns out that JoJo Eyes of Heaven will have online multiplayer. Hype train is moving.
At least Mirei got more screentime in the last episode.

Shame the game play so far looks average at best.
Speaking of though, did you guys see that J Stars is getting localized?
Here ya go then!
Pirate Warriors 2 is the better game, Unlimited World Red is okay but PW2 is the better game.

Well that would be a one way ticket to just end Dark Souls 1 on the PC.

I laughed.
@Maragi; Issues number 1 and 4 I agree with so hard. Especially 4.
What the fuck 4.
This is why Polnareff is the absolute best.

No one is going to come at you with pitchforks. Part 3 and Part 1 are really weak parts. Part 2 is better than both of them combined.
Anyway, two thoughts.
1.
I agree that Dio's almost complete absence from Part 3 really hurt it's quality.
Subjective, but I enjoyed Part 1 more than Part 3.
Now go read Part 4 i.e. one of the best parts.
Part 4 has what you want
That is basically how I felt when reading Jojo. I really liked 2 and I think that, while still being good, part 3 is a bit too long and unconnected. 2 was a story that flowed well from beginning to end.
LOL at issue #4.
I pretty much agree with what you've said, part 2
has a more coherent story and a better JoJo and I can understand your issue with the stands as far as power levels and whatnot go. Though my biggest gripe personally with part 3 is the fact that sometimes it reaches levels of ridiculousness that make it hard to "suspend" disbelief.
Though I do think that part 3 is just...more fun to watch. And I have an irrational and overwhelming love of
senior Joseph's character
What am I looking at here?"Pay no attention to the metal backdrop framing. Also in unrelated news, our DP is totally getting fired after this episode."

While I understand where you're coming from on 2 and I do agree on some levels, I would'nt really say that all of the Stand users were totally uninteresting. Enyaba was pretty amusing and as brief as he was I actually loved how scummy Steely Dan was.
As for Hamon over Stands, I completely agree. With Stands you have the possibility of just having something extremely absurd just to have it be that way, such as The Sun. With Hamon it had to be used in rather creative ways to make use of it outside the norm. That's not to say that some Stands aren't actually quite interesting such as Hermit Purple. The way he used it to defeat The Empress was fucking awesome. The Hanged Man was a pretty interesting one as well.

On the issue of Ripple being used in more interesting ways, it's certainly true, but that kind of thing was still present though in a smaller sense. They often figured out other ways to use their Stands and their abilities. The Lovers fight for example, the shrinking was something that made you go "That's bullshit, that's also kinda cool." Joseph as well eventually figured out his stand wasn't just for smashing cameras, he could possess anything that could give him information and even just use it as a regular dumb rope. Kakyoin wasn't just Emerald Splashing, he was binding his enemies and stretching to fool them. Kakyoin and Polnareff doing the coin thing was another one of those tricking people things that happened a lot in Part 2. Sure it's not as obvious because Stands are the ones doing the work in the end, but it's still the same basic action of outsmarting your opponent then using your ability. It's just that abilities this time are different. You're right though there was a ridiculous lack of posing. Unacceptable
BTW I've been reading not watching
WE NEED YOUR OPINION ON THE MANLIEST HANDSHAKE TO HAVE EVER BEEN SHOOK
that doesn't really change, but remember jotaro is also a 30 year old character archetype. plus at the end of the day even if he isn't really showing emotion now he did show a little (in the usual jotaro way) when holly wasn't there to greet him in the morning
but at the end of the day stardust crusaders up until the final part is about the journey to dio and the supporting cast is really good
Love his tag, tho.

Lewd Question. Click at your own risk and only answer with a spoilered answer
If the technology became good enough, would you ever consider stuff a lewd robot?
Does that mean they will
What the fuck? This is some horror movie shit.

You're going to stop right before one of the best parts of JoJo and instead read a really long, albeit good, manga? Ok...
Cool! Thanks man. *adds to favorites*
Absolutely not.
Even the world imagined in Ghost in the Shell I find deeply disturbing and unsettling. Im sure it's a good anime/movie but for some reason I find cyborg fiction deeply upsetting to me.

Ghost in the shell is fucking great. If you aren't gonna watch that at least watch blade runner
they ain't "gay" they just two adult female friends going on a vacation, who might spend their days and nights talking, laughing, putting each others faces between their legs to make funny mustaches, and having fun where no living man resides...

That sounds like the only way to live honestly.
Hell yeah. Give me my cyborg legs.
Eh could be worse.
Yep, definitely happened a few times for me too.
And well...
it's not that I prefer senior over junior Joseph, he's a fantastic character all around, but he is one of my favorite things about Part 3, no doubt about that. It's hard to compare considering Part 2 JoJo is super rad and also a main character, whereas senior Joseph is part of the supporting cast and makes me laugh every episode.
