The only thing that seems to meaningfully set this apart from any of the other space 4x games that have been released over the past few years is the 32 player multiplayer. It's a shame that the combat is so hands off and that there's no tactical use to any of the stellar bodies or anomalies...

The trailer got me excited... but then I watched the first episode and found lots of slow, awkward, humorless babble. Here's hoping that they find their stride fast and the rest are better.

I'm probably sure this doesn't exist as I've looked around but on the off chance that I missed it does anyone know if there is a mod out there that disables combat animations? I played the heck out of this game in early access and I noticed it then but after a few hours now I can't stand how...

It looks good but would it kill someone to create a show about a monarchy other than one in Britain? The Borgia's was great largely in part because it felt fresh and different. Take a map of Europe/Asia and throw a dart FFS I'm sure there are tons of other interesting stories that haven't been...

Back in the day on live I did velks castle in a group for decent exp and some drops/gems. Also did siren's grotto at the bottom of the well which isn't bad at all if you are religious about dispelling everything and can resit or stun them fairly reliably. If you are asking about soloing as a...

The ghosts in Venril's pit are very good exp. It's not easy but it was novel and fun, decent gem drops too.

I read them all a few years ago and while I don't remember much about them I do recall not being very satisfied with where they went in the end. It was another case of an interesting premise taken nowhere all that interesting unfortunately. If you're already on the fence about continuing then...

I charm killed in BW to mid 50's then KC with my necro till 60, it was pretty fun but not relaxing in any way.

At this point I would respect him more if he just had Kvothe pull an unreliable narrator and informed Chronicler that he was just pulling his leg that night and proceeded to tell him the true story of what happened during the time frame of book two. I'm sure it would be easier to start again...

From my point of view this wasn't a movie in the usual sense, it was more of a statement about how things can truly function when the decision is made somewhere. It wasn't entertainment. At least I didn't find it to be as none of the characters were particularly sympathetic and as such there...

I finally got around to watching this; I was leery of another space flick after Gravity's explosion fest of a story (yeah lynch me) but this was pretty good. A little dull at times and predictable but overall a decent feel good movie with some enjoyable humor, character and tension. I...

Well that ending... was an anti climax. Logically it was bound to happen to him at some point but what an unsatisfying end to an otherwise good show, despite the realism. That said it looks like they might make a third season of this but it wasn't planned from the start.

I'm not getting the reference if there is one.

Every time the weekly racial injustice segment of each episode runs I can't help but ask; Edwards why don't you go back to France? You had to have been less frustrated, you were allowed to train, practice and publish without being shat upon... whats the deal? Pack up your family and go...

First completely WTF episode that I've seen in years and it was hilarious. They went back to their roots with this one as far as random lunacy goes.

Sometimes the surface details of certain characters are more than enough to add that element of flavor that they provide to a story. Thus providing fully fleshed out points of view for each of his family members is completely unnecessary for us to understand what is going on in his home life...

Yes and Cochran giving up right before the cops would have stormed in, saved him and found the evidence he planted is absurd even if Ray really did bash his head in; after all it's not like he has much to live for besides vengeance. Also love how Finny seems to have zero security besides Ray...

Your post was reminiscent of the reviews that you would find on the back of a novel or other advertisement which was fun whether it was intentional or not. As for the book, I read it a few years ago and remember enjoying it for the most part.

It felt pretty happy considering that in reality their family would probably have been ruined by getting involved in the way that they did and all of the synths would have likely been identified and re rounded up in short order considering Britain has at least 1 public surveillance camera for...

I will second the dull comment. It started out strong with the intro to the psyche and the mood swings but then it seemed like they decided to just tread water the remaining 75% of the film with those overly long Joy adventure sequences. The premise of the film was good but they should have...

It's still depressing and not very funny most of the time but it was entertaining and just as enjoyable as the first season.

Balto was a really good animation and Homeward Bound was fun also if your kids like dogs.

No Willow? I loved that one as a kid as well as the old Disney animations like sword in the stone and robin hood. Also loved the Three Stooges to death.

Does anyone have a recommendation for something that is well written and completed or at the very least has some well developed arcs and character development? I'm weary of all these 100+ page comics that seem to have no ambition beyond dragging things out as long as possible because the author...

If you have played any space 4x in the last few years then you will be done with this game after a few hours when it's few novelties have become stale. It's another case of a game's foundation being released before anything truly defining and interesting has been added to it to take you beyond...

I miss Viole. It's never a good sign when authors rehash what's come before and deny their characters a chance to grow and change for better or worse.

This was a beautiful episode and Roger & Peggy really made it shine.

These last few chapters of ToG are making me feel that Rachel might have had some good reasons for trying to kill off Bam. Judging from what hes said he wants to what? Drag her back to a cave so he can stroke his 'precious' in quiet isolation and live happily ever after? *shiver*

I enjoyed the season but I agree that they shouldn't have dragged out the Paige angle for the entire run; the consistent lulls in the story devoted to that tug of war each episode was unnecessary. But that said, when they finally got going I did enjoy it quite a bit; the meeting with...

Just once would I like a superhero show where the dialogue and general writing don't make me laugh incredulously every few minutes when I'm not being bored to death by irrelevant, predictable side characters. Comic books can get away with the way they are written because you can go through a...

Yeah that was pretty funny... hold my hair tight now!

Well Bamstartsto go Gohan. La de da. The filler is real. The most interesting thing to happen this chapter was that dumb girl finally getting to the top of a staircase.

Asian guy with a katana ? Big black guy ? Hispanic girl ? Grizzled Captain/first officer sort ? Assertive looking woman ? Sensible, science officer looking lady ? The pretty boy ? I'm not so hot on the initial premise of everyone(?) being a memory deprived killing machine (as per the...

Am I alone in not liking this siege episode? I know that the Vikings were supposed to have a big Valhalla fetish but the number of times these people have disdained any sort of armor and abandoned their shields is intolerable to me; their commanders at the very least would have had something...

This would have been better as a two part movie IMO instead of a 12 hour dragging out of a somewhat thin plot stuffed with repetitive flashbacks and "Ohh Mysterious Foreshadowing" (waves hands in face). I enjoyed it for what it was but by the end I felt no interest for any of the cast and was...

If you are looking for a news source that has done a pretty good job with this and other important issues then giveDemocracy Now!a look. You can say whatever you want about their political leanings (they have them just like every outlet) but I've found that they do a pretty great job of being...

I just wish that their confrontation had happened while I still cared about the issue. It felt like the story had moved on... until it hadn't. I hope that something decisive happens next chapter at least. Also: The Idol chick... slowest stair climb ever?

Agreed. According to Goodreads: "The first three novels in New York Times bestselling author Peter V. Brett?sgroundbreaking Demon Cycle series?The Warded Man, The Desert Spear, and The Daylight War?set a new standard for heroic fantasy." I would be interested in perusing the demographic...

Tried what? I didn't suggest anything. All I said was I am tired of how they are doing things. Last season was complete shit because they tried to one up themselves on the goofball nonsense scale while adopting an inferior show premise. If I had any suggestion it would be for more moments...

Obviously they need the at home drama to reinforce the sleeper agent aspect of the story and to provide opportunities for the cast to question their commitment to this war. What I find tiresome is the writers need to repeatedly underscore the conflict over the daughter nearly every episode this...
