You can just hold the options button and it will give you an option to skip. Its per-sequence so many times you have several separate individual sequences stiched together for a given basic activity... but its better than nothing.

I do really hope IG-11 can be repaired / reprogrammed as they make such a cool duo in the short sequence we get. He needs someone to play off of.

But they arent an independent developer anymore. They got acquired by Microsoft (which is likely what precipitated the sudden 'just ship it' nature of the game)

They look very human and are possibly derived from the same base species as the other humans in the Galaxy, but they are their own distinct warrior culture who had fought the Republic in the past.

I think it was necessary if only to show that the badass main character, whose face we don't see, is not a 'mary sue' reincarnation of Boba Fett.

Yeah it is breaking under the strain, which any reasonable person knew it would and likely why they released it just a bit ahead of schedule to try and weed out the most die hard of fans wanting to see The Mandalorian. Wasn't enough I guess.

Good think the Xbone app works as the Android version can't seem to chromecast to my TV. I suspect it has to do with the same reason that DCUniverse did not support Chromecasting to my TV at first.

Hell of an introduction to a new character. Lady Trieu is a badass and yet I can't tell whether she is good, evil, or something much more complicated. I suspect the latter. Given that she owns what used to be Veidt I'm guessing she may be Adrian's jailer? I'm also kinda shocked no one has...

Other than Azerite being a stand-in for Unobtanium the whole DSTS business has been largely ignored as a complete afterthought all expansion long. The whole war was just idiotic in the extreme and has made no goddamn sense. Yeah I get it that they are trying to recreate Warcraft 2 Sea of...

It does seem like they aren't going to address this whole giant sword sticking out of the planet business. Then again Azerite isn't mentioned as part of Shadowlands so maybe there will be some closure?

I got through chapter 6, returned it to RedBox, and then watched a stream / read a synopsis of the ending to see if my deductions about the plotline were on point or not. I'm glad I played it, but I'm also glad I only spent $3 on it.

There is definitely an endorphin sort of thing going on with the stuff you can build. I took great pride when I finished the road in chapter 3 (plus a ton of likes from people using it).

There are some urban concrete decay to navigate but up through where I am its been pretty much Mars landscape as a rule. Hence my comment about how amazing roads are once you start building them.

I think we are meant to think that the world got shattered by the whatever apocalypse that kicked all this off...hence the giant sea in the middle of the country. But yeah given that I can drive from Ohio to Texas in about 4 mins I think any direct literal mapping is likely out the window.

I had the game all sorted out, build roads and support network, gather stuff, make deliveries, avoid BTs and all was sensible and normal if a bit dull. Then I got to Chapter 4.

So far the game has made it very clear that roads are good. I don't know that I'm really enjoying it, however, so much as persisting through it.

Okay a couple hours in and this thing is trippy as fuck. I don't even feel like its a game yet.

Picked it up at RedBox to see if I will like it given how polarizing it is. Kudos to @Utnayan for suggesting such a thing in the Jedi Fallen Order thread.

That reminds me, when is the Magicians back? It usually is winter yeah?

Wait there's a semi-shared-world sort of thing going on here kinda like Dark Souls? Just saw a streamer that came across a rope that had been left by someone else and they 'liked' them for it.

I start to wonder if anyone on the planet has a cohesive vision of the overall world-line for the Terminator movies. I know 'timey-wimey' and all that but good lord people.

Ive not read the books nor seen the Golden Compass so this is all brand new to me. I'm enjoying it quite a lot so far. I think X-23 was a good choice for the character.

I like Maurice far more than I probably should

Season 4 is out now. Some interesting foreshadowing in the modifications for the opening credits. Glimmer's new look is much more mature and Scorpia is looking like she's second guessing her role in the Horde.

I always forget about Redbox... despite walking past the damn things all the time.

The frame rate thing is absolutely genius in my view. Its sort of a brain hack that allows for pretty amazing action segments as your brain gets tricked into interpolating frames early on when things are fairly static and is thus able to react with more agility once things start moving.

I feel like this is an Xbone game for me for the 4K realness on a big screen.

I do wonder why a demon of hell needs to have a gender... I suppose any athropomorpic rendition will be just assumed to be male lacking any other detail.

Any read on this by non professional reviewers (aka y'all)? It is tempting, but I have also never been a MGS fan so I have no concept if a Kojima game is 'for me'. Plus Jedi Fallen Order is out next week and as the one remaining Star Wars nerd I am obligated to play that ASAP.

MoP and Legion were my faves so I had high hopes that this one would be promising.... I am very not whelmed.

I dig Maurice. The holiday event is also pretty cool for free content, I like the direction they are heading with this in terms of offering up a fun space to shoot things while chatting with your friends. Not sure how they are monetizing it though, I assume they rely on the paid DLC elements.

For an expansion about going to the lands of the dead this seems very underwhelming. Does this mean Sylvanas is the big bad for release and then whatever she's allied with is the later one? With no new classes or races it feels very formulaic. I agree that it feels much more akin to the EQ2...

I mean from the livestream it looks pretty fun already... release date 2020? I'm kinda shocked they said PS4 and Xbox One instead of PS5 etc.

The all-hands meeting on Monday was amazing in that soooo many internal people were hopping mad over this and yet the CEO was stiff-arming questions and sliding around complaints like a goddamn figure skater. That's really the only true skill for a CEO.

They just need a COD turn-based option for the elderly gamers

Towards the end of season 1 I felt like they were building out this world with quirky characters to show up on a regular basis as in Futurama. Since then I've just been increasingly confused as the show introduces and then discards major plot elements. I like some of the longer term things...

What I do like is the very real way they let you choose to murder hobo if you want to. I got to a point where it was very clear there was a peaceful resolution possible, but one of the faction characters didn't care for how I had handled an earlier question and thus wouldn't play along. So I...

I could see a Tinker class being fun, especially if they limited it to Gnomes, Goblins and maybe Vulpera. It seems at odds with a death-themed expansion however.

Where is this Tinker discussion coming from?

There are some things with the science weapons that they talked up at PAX that don't seem to have made it to the final released game. It was suggested that tinkering was going to be its own quasi minigame where you would build out weapons and armor using various types of technology including...
