    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    I liked the idea of 400 years in the past, aside from Yoda there won't be any ties to the current Saga which they seriously need to move away from. I also think the idea of doing something similar to the MCU vs trilogies is a good idea. A bunch of solo movies loosely tied together coming...

    The Witcher

    I enjoyed the show but it was by no mean a great show. I like the source material, and fantasy genre so I'm biased toward this type of stuff. The time jumps were confusing at the start because nothing indicated that they were happening. At some point you realize that it's happening and can...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I did my homework, I bought a new Quantum Drive. Port Olissar to ArcCorp I managed to reduce my travel time from 8:44 to 6:55 which a pretty decent upgrade, but still way too long to be doing nothing. This is with a size 1 drive which is the size that fits on my ship. I'm broke now though...

    Overwatch

    I'm curious to see how season 3 will play out with the teams actually be on the road and have local games. I mean how will affect the players. Will the venues sell well. Probably going to have a serious impact on Twitch viewership because of games being in different time zones. I really...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I haven't had a chance to fly a big ship yet, the biggest I flown is the Freelancer which is a medium size and only because there's a bug of some kind and the fix was to give everyone a Freelancer. :) The major issue right now for me in a few days of playing is the Quantum Travel times and the...

    The New Mutants (2019)

    The only character I really like in the new mutants is Illyana, others are fine but not ones I really look forward to. The girl playing her looks the part too, though I'm unfamiliar with her.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    There's also a few issue I'm wondering about, mainly how progression will be handled between episodes. Does it transfer your progress to the next episode or do you start with stock characters in each episodes. If the progress transfer, how will it handle the transition between PS4 and PS5.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I totally agree, and understand that splitting up the game is very predatory business on SE's part knowing full well the nostalgia and feeling people have for this game and aggressively preying on this by releasing the game in an episodic format. Episodic games just sucks. My point was just...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Episodic content sucks. That said the outrage about paying full price for a game the length of 15-20 hours is ridiculous and a bit hypocritical. Compare this to Uncharted series. Times come from howlongtobeat. Uncharted 1: 8.5 hours main story, 17 hours completionist. Uncharted 2: 10.5 hours...

    I'm confused...this actually looks interesting.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    You know I can understand them wanted to diversify regardless of whether I agree with it or not. I can understand the movie being bad, it happens to the best of them once in a while. What I don't understand about TLJ was this, didn't anyone realize that the movie which is the middle of a...

    Witcher 3

    I'm not 100% certain but I think the icons disappear when the NPC isn't there, like the armorer going home for the night.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    After playing this a bit more this weekend, I have a few more things to add. I won't cover bugs, or instability or missing features since it's alpha, mostly about gameplay decisions, and how the game feels when it works. If I can resume, I'll it's strangely satisfying but ultimately tedious...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I agree with you. I did say the game was tedious and didn’t recommend it to anyone. The way things are, I’m not sure there will be a huge appeal for it but it might have enough dedicated fans to keep it alive. As you said the gameplay loop need to be streamlined a lot. I’m not sure they’ll do...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I actually went back a few hours later. First off, all the personal missions are “illegal” which I didn’t know and isn’t really mentioned in them either, and the place I went to Grim Hex is a place that allows pirate to sell and one of the most popular place. So essentially I did just about the...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    It's still and most likely will forever be in an alpha state as I'm sure it's more profitable this way than if they release it. That being said, there seems to be quite a lot of stuff you can do in game right now. I would not necessarily call it a game yet though.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    So I hadn't played this since 2015 when I got a starter pack, and decided to see how improved things were, and try the MMO part since the last time I played there was only racing and the arena commander. I downloaded the game, it had an error every time I started watching a YouTube video while...

    Overwatch

    Ended the season at 2329 with both Tank and DPS and 1942 as a Support. I’m kind of in shock that I climbed so high with DPS and fell so low with my Support I expected the opposite. Mei was my most played with a 63% win rate, she’s just a-Mei-zing. :) I almost gave up on tanking since the...

    I just finished Blood and Wine. That was an amazing DLC, awesome main story with a fabulous ending. It’s a masterpiece of a game.

    My biggest complaint is igniting candles and torches everywhere while looting. ;)

    Witcher 3

    I’m level 45 and mostly alchemy with enough in mutation to get 2 extra skills, rest is in combat with 3 points in the ability to use the force in conversation to make people do what I want. I just love running around with 3 decoctation on all the time and use 2 or 3 potions on top of it. In full...

    Witcher 3

    I just finished the Heart of Stone DLC, pretty interesting story, some really fun quests along the way as usual. Started on the Blood and Wine, I love the look of the new zone. Story starts pretty interesting too. It looks like it will be a pretty lengthy DLC judging from the map, and all the...

    The Mandalorian

    I enjoyed the season overall, while not great tv it was entertaining and good Star Wars. i do hope they bring back Gina also, she’s a good character that plays off well with Mando. The other thing is the episodes with recurring cast were the best in my opinion, the first 2 or 3 and the last 2...

    Witcher 3

    84 hours in, finished all of the main game, side quests, contracts, scavenger hunts, all points of interest except those in Skalligae, oh I didn’t do the Gwent related quests. I still have the 2 DLC to do now. I mostly had the same ending as my first play through, a few things different along...

    The Witcher

    I don’t mind diversity as long as they are good, and capture the essence of the character. Anya Chalotra did a good job as Yennefer despite being of Indian descent. She mostly looks the part and I think she did good of nailing the attitude. Anna Schaffer on the other did not in any evoke...

    It is worth the hype, one of the best game. Don't skip on side quest, they go from good to absolutely spectacular. :)

    Witcher 3

    One thing I’m enjoying a lot replaying this right now is that they are referencing a lot of stuff that is happening in the TV show which is kind of cool since now I have more context for it rather than just being a throwaway line. I’m now in Skelligae and I had forgotten just how many POI are...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I just came back from seeing this. The movie had lots of flaws but I was entertained regardless and enjoyed it. As someone mentioned, you can pretty much skip TLJ now as it mostly ignores it.

    I don’t remember those in Captain Marvel, this leads me to believe a rated R version would have been better.

    I'm 50, I don't even remember the plot of Death Stranding I played for 90 hours less than 1 month ago(all I remember is I loved it and it's GotY for me), no way I remember the plot of any of the FF games that I played 10+ years ago, I don't even remember if I liked them or not...hell some of...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I'd like for them to move away from this era(episode 1 to 9) and either go back to the old republic which is what 3000 years before the events of the movies, or move forward in time a thousand years and create something new. Honestly I would probably probably would like to focus more on TV...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I think part of the hate now is due to what TLJ did to the characters and threads TFA had setup, basically it took a shit on everything, thus making the movie a lot less satisfying now than before TLJ.

    The Mandalorian

    Why do I get the feeling this was originally a tattoo of a dick, and the dude realized he could salvage it by turning it into a Baby Yoda.

    The Mandalorian

    Great episode, makes ton of difference using already established characters compared to new ones each episode. Looking forward to the rest, I hope this goes toward setting season 2 with Mando having a crew with Gina, Carl and the droid.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Well, read a few spoiler free reviews and as expected it's not a a good film. All pretty much say the same thing and I'll quote the opening statement from IO9 since it seems to convey the best just what everyone is saying.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    We'll know more tomorrow when embargo lifts, but the first impression seems to be there's tons of stuff happening and lots of fan service, both of which have some good and some bad. It seems it does too many things. I saw one that said it felt like an apology for TLJ. All in all, doesn't seem...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    As the cast of characters grow, I could easily see them move away from solo character movies, and have most of the movies be like Thor: Ragnarok where there is a main hero, but it has a few guest appearance in it also. It would make replacing the main cast a bit easier as you wouldn't be...
