It looks like a lot of shit going down in that film... as always of late. I think making bigger and bigger films that affect the entire universe seems the norm now. It'll be a loud, busy, psychedelic mind-fuck. But, if we zoom in really close into a tiny, dark, poor, almost useless point in...

First episode was good. Not overly complex. Quite a few fan easter-eggs. Kept things moving with a simple set-up and an equally simple plot. I liked it. aa

Yup- Chris, you said what I was trying to say (or thought I said). TOS IS multicultural, progressive, far ahead of its time without being self-aggrandizing, nauseating or cow-towing.

Huge fan of TOS. I am, and will always be, appreciative of how they cannibalized the original idea of ST:TOS with "The Menagerie" episode. Despite being an old fart Trekkie, I cannot keep up with the newer series after ST:TNG. However, the idea of Pike/Spock in the spirit of The Menagerie and...

Finally finished HFW. I'm still not certain why they went so PC and diverse. The music , vocal talents, and the graphics on the PS5 were extraordinary. The side quests were a little too similar to each other. The underwater and aerial components were pretty cool; but they (for me, at least)...

I think Liam Neeson's "Darkman" deserves an honorary mention on that list...

what an a-hole...

Maybe that's because medical school is FOUR years...

yes I DID go to that Diner. Great coffee. Okay food.

This thread is amazing (and I am a little reticent to post here). I fear it may be inviting disdain for my coffee ignorance. However, I have come to believe that the Keurig machine has deprived me of one of life's (possibly not-so) simple pleasures. I used to have a coffee grinder and a Melita...

Actually, the lack of a "male gaze" is fine. That is why the game is so wonderful without being in your face. Aloy is strong, compassionate, independent, and rose from being a figurative and literal "outcast" to hero in a very nice progression in HZD. This time around, we need to have a...

I am playing it-- HZD is one of my all time favs. I am only a little bit into HFW. But I will keep going (and be a better, more woke, diverse, SJW for it). The example video I showed required a hundred plus moves all in correct order or you have to start from the beginning all over again. It's...

What I mean by "grindy" are extended sequences of gameplay that offer only one option (like the jumping and platforming and swinging in that 4 minute nonsense). There are no "alternate solutions." You do all the sequences in the same order until you make a single mistake and then you start...

PS-- here is an example of pure grindy nonsense in HFW (no spoilers):

So it gets better? Good!

HZD is an amazing game. One of my all time favs... I purchased Forbidden West, but it's not the same. I'm only about 8 hours into it, but it is nowhere near as fresh. Plus, it's a bit grindy, and less "open world"-ish than it's predecessor. Funny, however, that I thought the original game...
