    Not quite, 29 and a half. much cut scenes, many many cut scenes. So again lets break it down. Not counting sprint or teleport or any non-combat shit just Like I dont count hearthstone as a skill in WoW. Defiance. Provoke. Some long CD defenses like Rampart, Reprisal. I guess Thrill of...

    Never once mentioned any of that shit, gear, speedrunning, ddr? yeah not once. absolutely nothing to do with what i'm talking about. You also seem to be conflating story and gameplay. Story is not gameplay, story does not supplement gameplay. Story is a movie. They did that already...

    By level 10 in classic WoW I would already have my core skills and have an understanding on how that class is going to play. Things would change as I got higher level abilities of course, hell you don't get your talent capstones til like 40, but you'd have the core abilities down. For example...

    Umm yes, actually. What you are describing is called efficiency, which implies choice. You are given a bunch of options and based on that selection of options, you choose the one that is the most efficient/makes the most sense in the context of the fight, etc and so forth. That is depth, and...

    Uhh i played mystic quest back on snes? Never really got into jrpgs but i have to imagine they are more complex than press 2 buttons, cus even though they are turn based rpgs even mystic quest required more thought than pressing the same 2 buttons in order on repeat. Im going to take the...

    Yeah im not overly concerned about end game i rarely dabble in those activities these days, im talking core gameplay loop. Every mmo, hell every game really introduces the core gameplay loop early on in whats considered the tutorial. Heres your abilities heres how they interact with each...

    That is...disappointing to say the least. So basically treat the first 60 levels as a tutorial. Gotcha. At least i don't have to reroll. How hard is it to level a new job?

    So they opened up and let you buy this game now. I guess on the 25th of jan but i was retreading swtor at the time. Doesnt look like free trials are open yet tho. I went ahead and bought the game and finally got my SE account unfucked (i free trialed this game back in 14 and couldnt remember...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Morrison isn't the original actor. He's never played Boba Fett before. He was Jango Fett in the prequels. "oh but he's a clone" yeah but he's also supposed to be 30, 35 years old. The "backlash" over hiring an age appropriate look a like who could still do action sequences would of been far...

    I mean yeah I guess, lol (Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens) He'd still be a better choice than old man boba.
  11. Sylas

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Actually im arguing the opposite. They are going balls deep maintaining prequel canon by hiring the guy who played jango to play boba to the detriment of the show, for memberberry points from kids who grew up on the prequels and recognize the actor. I would have rather they hired a 30...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    The first 4 episodes "sucked" because it wasn't what people were expecting. His reintroduction is mandalorian s2e6. He starts off old man hermit in tusken gear, recovers his armor and then goes beast mode and saves the day. We see him a few more times and learn more about boba, his values...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    rewatching those grogu scenes really cements how much I hate what the prequels did to Yoda, and thus, what filoni did to Grogu in this episode. Grogu is effectively a half trained 5 year old child, yet his species is especially force sensitive as he clearly demonstrates. With training he could...

    The 25 mil was a troll post on their forums mocking smedley. The 16mil was a projection based on 4 months worth of opening month performance. This game had a total of between 4 and 6mil users at most. I dont care how big your backlog is, 21mil ppl didnt buy the game and never once logged in.

    Yeah there estimates are a total crock of shit. Read their methodology, based on launch numbers only and online "sentiment" at the time (prior to/ at launch) If the game maintained 1 million peak players each month despite losing 90% of their players each month, then you could assume they must...

    Welp chalk me up as not a fan of filoni. I never watched the animated clone wars but heard great things, but it seems he made them to continue and expand upon the prequels rather than to course correct them. Cgi yoda doing flips and shit ruined yoda as a character and invalidated everything he...

    oh wait, lol, i forgot this game sold for $40 not $60... It may have lost money they cleared probably 25-27 bucks per sale, and if they only sold 4 million copies that means they just about broke even ignoring opportunity costs. so yeah colossal failure as a game and as a financial investment...

    welp the youtube deepfake dude definitely a good call to hire him. so much better than the de-aging from mando last season. who was the blue dude with red eyes.. Oh and rewatched those scenes in mando season 2, boba definitely not a mandalorian and he states as much several times in ep 6-8...

    No idea about the number of boxes sold but it was at least 4 million given the peak concurrent users and number of servers released. Avg server can support 2k players (some more some less) and they had 500 servers, so they could support up to 1 million players online, and they peaked around...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Whoosh. Uh not quite. Might need to rewatch mandalorian but iirc it made jango mandalorian for the canon, but as a test tube baby it made boba fett a joke. None of the mandalorians respect him at all, to them hes just another clone trooper. They go out of their way to mock him and his voice...

    Financially it was a massive success. It sold a fuck ton of boxes and it got people to play it just long enough to no longer be able to get a refund on steam, so they get to keep all that money. It's buy to play with no real cash shop, so initial sales is about the only revenue stream it was...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    We're not in disagreement here, lucas is an asshole. The EU was always just fanfic to him. As long as the checks cleared, he just ignored it. Most of it was shitty fanfic so he didn't care. But if the lore was good, like the mandalorian shit? He took it personally, like how dare someone come...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Exact opposite. To lucas, Boba fett was effortless cash from toy revenue. The fans created all this bullshit backstory, basically invented the entire mandalorian culture mythos from a throwaway character in a cool suit of armor. George went out of his way, in what you call his "subplot" in...

    Except no, it wasnt. George would put his stamp of approval on anyone writing him a check but even he claimed that none of the eu shit was ever canon. Most of the EU shit was such shitty fan fic that even fans and authors maintained lists of which books the fandom considered "canon" vs...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Yes. Did you read my post? Non-de-aged boba fett and a de-aged is going to be jarring as fuck. Even if its a flash back scene its still obvious one is 5 years older, the other is 20+ years older and 30 lbs fatter. From what we saw in mando and the beginning of this show i thought they were...

    You mean 60 to 90 seconds of screen time, and yes. Look. Favreau gave us iron man and laid the framework for the IW saga. I never watched the cartoons but I hear filoni redeemed the pre trilogy history even though he was restricted within the confines of the shitty prequel framework. They...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Interesting if true. Opens up a huge can of worms though with my biggest complaint about this show. Do they de-age him? They have to right? So how do we explain boba? He falls into the saarlacc a 30, 35 year old man and crawls out 6 hours later, 20 years older and 30 lbs fatter. Or since...

    The fuck he was. He was an action figure. And subplot in the prequels? That's a reach. He got a 5 minute origin story i guess Thank you. My point exactly. He was a cool action figure that little boys loved to play with. He was never more than a throwaway character in the films. He was...

    Hey thanks for proving my point about boba being a toy first and foremost lol. I didn't realize his entire schtick was a fucking toy pyramid scheme. That makes the nerd rage even more hilarious lol He wasn't in star wars. At least not in the 70s. Not until 98? Or whenever Lucas did his...

    lol. Hate to burst your bubble but I wasn't even born yet in 1979. never had any star wars action figures. In fact, the first time I sat down and watched Star Wars I was a teenager, mid 90s maybe? I watched them all on VHS. All my posts in this thread boil down to this. There are 2 types...

    6 minutes of screen time? Fuck no, the mother fucker has like 90 seconds of screen time, and 75 of those seconds is him standing in the background fuzzy as shit cus the camera is focused on the main characters on screen. If he had 6 minutes of screen time they could of made him more than 1...

    he spends at most a few hours in the saarlacc, or however many hours of oxygen his suit has? He wakes up and is struggling to breath, he immediately steals some air from the dead storm trooper, then flamethrowers his way out. Jabbas barge was still smoldering when he climbs out, and as...

    Oh yeah. Duh. I do expect some kind of tie in though. Maybe they find some maguffin on tatooine and then in the obiwan show we find out obiwan had some part in it. Only so much a hermit can do chilling on tatooine for years

    didn't expect the entire episode to be mando but it definitely following the outline of this show so far. First introduction of the show was post credits(?) scene after mando season 2, boba and fennec kill bib fortuna and take over Jabba's throne room. That set the premise for the show. Each...
