    Because sometimes fans can make a good product. A better example is hiring a car enthusiast to help design a car. Sometimes the enthusiast knows just enough about what makes a car work to help design a good one, even if they aren’t engineers. They know what works and what doesn’t, and can...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Was that something Anakin flew or just a random Naboo ship? I do agree that basically a Mando episode you can’t go wrong with. It’s smart really, keeps people excited for a season 3

    Doctor Who

    Smith was great - although Amy and Rory helped tremendously in that regard. They’re probably my favorite Doctor + companion grouping

    You get an action back, but you still have to reload

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Alphi does improve a lot. He basically gets a massive reality check, learns humility, and gets an alpha chad role model to set him on the right path He’s basically a kid in high school at the start that learns lofty ideals and his own self importance amount to little in the real world - he...

    Damn, that would be Op on a sniper with the talent that lets them pistol shot everything on screen in a single round

    That’s a good theory, because I could see Furor doing that lol survival game could be cool if done right, plus I’m sure they gave leadership a hardon for all the RMT they can charge for cosmetics for base building.

    Patch notes. Mostly just potency buffs for various classes. One additional buff which is nice is Dragon Eye for Dragoon has a 30 yard range now. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/9325d2a5dae2ac34b9f970c803848e8fb1c3aaf7

    Who gives a fuck what they want to play. I have yet to see a positive opinion from any of them on any type of media unless it’s from the 90s or earlier

    The Expanse

    The book and show are pretty close in terms of adaptation. You could pick up book 7 and still follow along just fine. The biggest changes you would find are 1) Alex is still alive 2) Drummer in the show is a combo of Drummer and a belter pirate named Michio Pa. In the books, both characters...

    Who knows, but I suspect they couldnt find a balance between those two things without making the "job" thing completely optional. It sort of sounded like their idea was City of Heroes, but you have to be Clark Kent for half of the in-game day.

    Project Titan, from what has been revealed, was going to be like part-action game, part-life sim or whatever. Like you would work a job during the day or whatever, then at night become a hero or whatever. It's one of things that sounds cool on paper, but they could never make it "fun" and the...

    Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Activision side of the house was mostly to blame for this. They probably thought "Hey, we sucker morons into buying a new Call of Duty title every year or two, let's do the same for OW and make money!"

    What feature(s) or circumstance would persuade you to install a brain implant?

    It was both - you could record and watch your own, or watch others. The main character was addicted to reliving memories of his time with a past love.

    It was profitable for Blizzard so long as they found suckers willing to buy team slots for the league lol

    Battlefield 2042

    Going f2p before they fix all the issues (assuming they can be fixed) is a recipe of further failure.

    That's adorable that you think humanity hasn't been carried by the few in spite of the dumb masses fucking things up throughout human history, like this is some new thing.

    The Expanse

    You'd be hard pressed to find many Filip fans from the books either. Some people tried to argue that Peaches was in the same category, but it's apple/oranges (or peaches if you like) Peaches: Kills some innocent people to frame Holden. I forget the ship death count, but it wasn't massive...

    What feature(s) or circumstance would persuade you to install a brain implant?

    Realistically it will come down to main factors for the population at large 1) Price 2) Safety 3) Benefit But even before we get there, all that rests on us understanding the brain. There is still so much we don't know about the brain, our mind, etc. I think until we fully understand it and...

    It shouldn't be mutually exclusive, though. That is just bad game design to shoehorn someone into some ultra specialized role that brings nothing to the table except a raid buff, even if that person likes it. Even if they brought in other abilities to buff other buffs, then you get into a...

    I thought the wookie was security and had caught the aliens cheating. Nope, he was just salty and wanted to kill some folks lol

    Overwatch

    I doubt directly. But I was presume that his direct reports, and their direct reports, and so on and so forth felt pressure from the top and that manifested. They had a lot of investment tied up in OW/OWL and it (was) pretty profitable at its peak.

    DOTA: Dragon's Blood

    Auroth was Winter Wyvern. Kaden's connection with Crystal Maiden also makes it seem like he is Sven. I mean, people had thought he might be Sven because his signature weapon was a big ass sword, but him being all chummy with her makes that possible identity even more strong.

    Right. Kings buff for Paladins was a prime example - pick shitty talents that barely improve your character just to get Kings that was all but mandatory for raids. No one wanted to be the kings buff paladin. That was like being the enchanter that would cast tash and instantly die to the...

    Reminds me of that chapter in World War Z where they talk about trying to rebuild the west coast and all the trades people basically become the new top earning kings of society and a lot of white collar workers have to do manual labor because they have no valuable skills in that situation- like...

    Cobra Kai

    All I remember from Karate Kid 3 is they dropped some ancient Bonzai tree into the ocean and spent like half the movie trying to save it

    You needed cross server group matching because a) too many servers b) too much server imbalance. They didnt want to merge servers overtly.

    LFR didn't ruin anything - basically was a way for super casuals to see content. Where they went wrong is they had way, way too many difficulty tiers Skill trees in WoW were always an illusion of choice - unless you ran a couple specs, you were just gimping yourself Spec swap button was fine...

    Fixed. Riot will probably be looking a lot at FF14, not just WoW. 14 is a lot better at catch-up mechanics and providing a good mix of solo and group stuff

    There was some mega gap between when he started MSQ and started doing it regularly. I think he tried it during the queue apocalypse then decided to wait a few weeks

    Invincible

    The best analogy I've heard is Lion Dude (Battlebeast) showing up at that fight is like a street thug bringing Thanos to a back alley brawl. He peaced out when he didnt get the challenge he wanted. He probably didnt know about Omniman. As for Invincible, they're basically Saiyans so think...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Besides being a popular trope, it also isn’t that much out of the realm of realism. If you traveled to Earth at different times in its history, you’d literally find an ice planet (ice ball Earth theory), a swamp planet (Carboniferous period), a mostly desert/arid planet (Permian/Triassic...
