Real question is how do they handle the actor change?

I’ll still watch if I like season 3 because I’m not going to prematurely make a decision on show season’s quality years before it comes out

The best compliment I can give this show is you could strip away all the Star Wars stuff and it would still be a good show. It uses the IP to enhance, not as a crutch

I think the bigger problem is they focus less on an overall narrative arc beyond a single season. Now I can understand the pitfalls of that: If your story arc is too broad, and you don't get renewed, then there is no satisfying payoff for the fans. But unless you have some really strong...

Movie profits will live or die on how WTF amazing the 3D is. They’ve had 13 years to improve

Pretty much everyone forgot about this show, but they just confirmed season 2 will start 2/17/23. Looks like 10 episodes with them dropping 2 per week. Also confirmed to be the final season

On the topic of bots, they have been somewhat absent from the Brimstone zone, which is interesting. And nice. I've actually been able to harvest high end materials. Of even greater interest, I have noticed the gold farmers returning to the old ways: Actual humans playing shared accounts...

Depends on what you mean by new? Brimstone Sands is well done - they have a much more cohesive story/quest experience there, a lot of interesting POI that you can either run solo or in groups, time specific spawns (ie, they only spawn at night or daytime), chest runs that take a bit more...

It would have been cool to go that route, but I am not 100% sure it would have been as successful. Avatar played well with a large demographic (domestically and internationally) because you had the action pieces, but you also had the love story stuff.

I recall that Nintendo picture from an old Nintendo Power magazine - I think it was a concept "World of Nintendo" mini-store, although you never actually saw shit like that in the wild

Not surprised

Didn’t a chunk of engineers from that project go to Blue Origin?

They plan to milk this out for another couple movies, so unless they delve into prequel territory, they presumably have a story arc planned I am guessing they will at some point a) address the world tree can make you functionally immortal so long as you have a vessel to transfer your mind...

That about sums up S8: they went style over substance. There were a lot of cool set pieces that had trash logic or out of character characters

They waited too long. I see a few main factors that might help them 1) That Disney area (Animal Kingdom) I think that is Pandora based might get some kids interested…maybe 2) People remember it actually did 3D really well and that alone was fun to experience, so people will actually go to...

The biggest problem with a MMO BR is at a certain point, you’ve already lost the game before it has ended. Think about a fps BR. Everyone tries to loot up early and you see lots of deaths at the start. Then you get into that mid game where you hope to find better stuff and an advantageous...

I used to try to run packs during non-peace periods to get more reward, but I always did it during off hours where the risk of ganks was extremely low Again, path of least resistance

All I know is if I play the game, go to mine some ore, and some cockbag standing on top of a 50 foot tall rock 2 shots me with a bow and I have no counter and they loot my shit, I'm done lol

The concept is basically a strain of cocepytcus fungus exists that can infect humans gets unleashed and infects the population (that is the "zombie fungus" that infects ants and basically controls their bodies to move them to an area where they eventually die that also happens to be a good place...

We would have actually gotten the “Godfather in space” that people were expecting

Most of the new player experience was focused on Monarch's Bluff and Everfall. They plan to revamp the other zones later.

I can't speak for Shadowbane later on after they sold it to that company in China, but the combo of super sandbox mode + punishing PVP is what killed it at launch. To get good gear or even maintain your existing gear, you needed a leveled city and NPCs. So if your city gets killed in a war...

Vin was pushing the TTRPG love before it was “cool”, he isn’t a pretender. Or at the very least, he wasn’t in the past

You can even setup an ingame alarm for specific times gathering nodes

This is what happens when Honeybunny doesn't stay cool

Preach and Zepla are doing a Haunted House decorating contest right now on Twitch. Only 2 houses in, but the 2nd one was fucking amazing for just a small apartment

Ya, some of the games were great. Tundra was just so dominate - clean sweep in finals. This was pretty good on the final day as well

Right, there is a market but a extremely small one. I'm not sure how much money is being pumped into AoC, but a small market presumably isn't what they need to break even. I don't doubt that AoC will have a big initial launch population. But if they decide to keep this Shadowbane style PVP...

It probably came down to the shooting schedule of Witcher wouldn't let him do Superman, and Superman was going to pay a fuckton more

Keep in mind many of those PVP legacy mechanics are what drove people away from New World: Expensive travel, punitive storage, PVP allowing a small number of people to dictate the play experience of the rest of the server AoC essentially wants to replicate all that stuff that people rejected...

The hype is basically the hope that this will be better than BFA+Shadowlands, as well as them dangling some nice talent tree nostalgia bait

You can’t craft at 625, highest is 600. You upgrade items with umbral shards to get them to 625. Although it should be noted the improvements between 600 and 625 aren’t very large - an extra stat point and some fractions of a percentage on perks being the biggest takeaways Also, mutations...

Leveling crafting is still expensive as fuck. The only "cheap" way to do it is go on chest runs, salvage items, and pray you get scraps that you can use to get free crafting XP. Besides, with their RNG crafting system (even when using items to reduce RNG), it's not like people are churning out...

The Seasnake show could actually be cool if they showed off all the Lovecraft inspired lands to the far south. Like that jungle full of deadly animals and plants, or that China inspired empire that battled against some ancient enemy, or that Mordor place full of dark magic and necromancers and shit

Pretty much this. Look at stuff like 7 Days to Die. It has been “alpha” for like 10 years. Patches come, but on a relatively slow time scale. Although not Project Zomboid slow (although I think they have a really small team that does work on this game on the side)
