I watched the first hour of this. Incredible, especially in front of the pyramids.

Disappointing to read the bad reviews. I had such high hopes for this one.

Wife and I started our rewatch of season 1 a few nights ago. Even though I know what to expect, some of those "tougher" moments still punch pretty GD hard. Not sure what's more brilliant about this show - the writing or the acting. Hell, some of the patients are so good, you think they're...

LOL. This thread degraded into a pile of shit bigger than the actual game itself. And that's saying something.

I’m also one of those who occasionally checks in on this game’s development progress. Every time I do and catch up on all the latest buzz about it, I always come to same conclusion - I just don’t want to play EQ anymore. As much as I loved the grindy, XP and rare camping gameplay from twenty or...

I've only been keeping tabs on this one from afar due to where it was in development. I understand PvP was always planned to be a big part of the game but I always assumed it would still be a PvE-centric game at it's primary core. Based on what I'm reading now, am I correct in understanding...

More times than not, people "demand" sequels only to be disappointed. It's like they need to be protected from themselves. Just say no to the sequel here, John. It will likely be garbage and will tarnish what is an otherwise legendary movie. Even more than it already has been (see 2011).

Ultima brings back so many memories. I started with 2 and loved it. Then finished 3 before going back to play the first one where the villain was Minax. Ultima 4 was awesome for me and my friends. The four of us were pretty much locked in my room for almost two weeks playing it non stop. I...

For the actors? Of course. But you aren't behind the scenes watching the director give that instruction, direction, and inspiration to those actors so please explain how you the viewer are seeing the effect of all that? Or how you the viewer are able to discern where great directing ends and...

Um, no. Not once, ever, have I ever said "Gee, the directing here really sucks". Fucking no one does. But there are tons of examples of dialogue that is absolutely and utterly cringeworthy, or shows where you wonder wtf they were thinking casting x actor for y role. Neither is anything a...

I mean, you're definitely not wrong. But as much as people might fantasize about her responding to that potential scene with "Awesome! I've always wanted to go completely nude in front of the camera", it's quickly replaced with the much more likely response of "and that's where the CGI comes in...

It's also too bad they can't make a stipulation that in order to be cast in the movie, you had to have played the game previously. Cavill of course being a prime example.

So many focus on who is directing in these video game adaptations but IMO, it's way more about the writing and the casting as to whether or not it's worth a shit. That very well may be true for all movies but specific to these types, they get them both completely wrong the vast majority of the...

The population on Dreamscythe (PvE) has been massive since release but I never really paid much attention to what that means from a raiding guild perspective. That is until this past week with the release of phase 5. The semi-HC guild I'm in had most of it cleared by Wednesday and Cthun down...

This is exactly how I feel as well.

First time seeing this one. I thought it was New World just with some updates to it.

So I downloaded it and tried logging in with an old account that didn't work. I guess it was blitzed long ago which is fine. The problem is it won't let me create a new account because no matter what email address I put in at the account creation page, it says it's already in use. Is the only...

The last time I played LOTRO was so long ago that I think the game was still relatively new at that time. I don’t really remember why I stopped but I have thought about trying it out again recently. My biggest concerns are how does it hold up to today’s standards in graphics and gameplay? And...

That’s actually a more plausible explanation, not to mention one I can feel better about having still not beaten that fucker myself.

So, let me get this straight...this chick...is fighting Radahn on two different systems...at the same time....using a controller for one and a dance pad for the other?

Too costly to make and to maintain. Not to mention the mindset of the typical gamer has changed over the last decade or so. No longer willing/able to invest the time most MMOs required due to an increase in RL obligations as well as market saturation of games as a whole. The only real hope I...

What I mean is, I’m not interested in putting money in their pockets any more. Do I think they’ll miss my few dollars if I don’t watch it? Of course not, but it makes me feel better to know I’m not supporting shitbags like that any more. Now, I might still put the remote down if I come across...

Also, actors in general sorta piss me off. Tom Hanks, who I consider to be the best of all time and one I do like, encapsulated it perfectly for me when upon receiving some award joked, “We get paid an awful lot amount of money to pretend”. First, it is a lot of money. Ridiculous amounts in...

A good number of them are probably due to politics. For example, he’s old but I won’t watch anything with DeNiro in it now because he’s such an extreme leftist asshole. Will Smith is there, which sucks because he’s done some really good acting in some good movies, but any respect I had for him...

I have my own list of actors who I've personally disavowed. Just won't watch any of their shit because they're all miserable, insufferable, entitled human beings. Basically, avoiding their work is my own little way of saying "fuck you". J-Lo is one of them.

At what point does this thread get shaw'd? Even the falling gifs game has gone to complete shit.

I went back on my bleed toon this weekend to try out the Dragon Katana, which he already had, and the Sword of Night, which I still needed to get from the black night's corpse in the fingers church. The Dragon Katana is nice but I don't like the ash much. It just didn't seem to land as much on...

Took another 20 stabs or so at Radahn today. No Albrecht. No Mimic. No cheese build. Just me and my Backhand Blades. Got him to phase 2 one time in those attempts. Just when I feel like I'm starting to learn his combos, my timing will be off on one swing and it's usually pretty much over...

I ran through ER's base game on 5 different toons. Two of those 5 I took through the DLC. None of them used a shield. I did try a shield very, very early on in my very first toon's playthrough two years ago but hated it, mostly because I found it very difficult to switch my mentality between "I...

Also, in the latest patch, they changed his start point to always be off in the distance, like he does when you first encounter him, instead of right there in front of you. Just that change alone made him more manageable, even if the hit box still needs tweaking.

I actually thought of that and tried it several times. It helped some with his gravity-based attacks but he was still able to hit me through the wall with his spear thrust and that GD boar charge. Part of why I mentioned he induced more rage than any other boss. I eventually got him on my first...

Gaius gave me more rage than any other boss in the DLC, moreso because of the boar charge attacks than anything else. Definitely top tier bullshit.

The word was that this same dev team was supposedly going to be entrusted to create a new LOTR MMO that Amazon has the rights to make. No real details on it have been released yet to my knowledge but given the way those guys were developing and managing New World, I have very low expectations...

I started NW about a year ago and loved it. The game took forever to load on my decent PC but once I was logged in, I rarely had performance issues (I did have to drop the settings a bit). Once you reach max level and hit the grind as someone mentioned above, the shine really starts to lose its...

This is me, although I've got probably 10-ish attempts in on him. Did get him to phase 2 but nothing close to a kill. I'm just shelving it for now until I feel a stronger desire to give it a go again. The problem is, there's nothing else out right now that has my attention.

I can appreciate that. This was my first (and only) FromSoft game so I fully acknowledge that I just may not be used to their design. As stated, I found parts of the DLC to be a bit different/unfinished than any part of the main game, but you certainly could be right in that maybe it just...

Perhaps, but there's no denying the emptiness in the DLC is exactly that. I mean, there's nothing at all to even pick up in these places save for a couple of cookbooks in AW. Jagged Peaks had a few items, bosses, etc at least. I was just disappointed in how little there was to actually explore...

He's not wrong about the finger ruins areas though. Not one but two pretty vast areas of nothingness save for the bells and some shitty fucking serpent dudes that can stunlock from range. And outside of Manse Hall, Abyssal Woods is in the same boat. That's three huge portions of the map that are...

Watching shit like that makes me feel like I've been playing a completely different game than them.

All DLC bosses down on my second toon except Radahn. I got him to phase 2 a few times but not really close to a kill yet. My primary build centered around fire and Messmer's spear doesn't seem to do jack shit to him so I pivoted to a holy one instead. I tried the Euporia blade a few times but...
