Definitely felt like a "save the budget filler episode", but was fun to hear Campbell as Satan. Given how the episode ends, big stuff is coming

Knowing Activision-Blizzard, they’d mess up the business deal. Supposedly they tanked an animated Overwatch series during the peak of its popularity because they wanted too much money

Colbert is a huge LOTR nerd at least

First Contact probably resulted in Nemesis. Insurrection landed with a plop, so the studio execs probably thought “well First Contact was mostly an action movie and fans loved it, the Trek fans must want action! Moar action!!!!!”

Feels like the type of conversation you have when you join a company and ask someone who has been there why they do something a certain way “idk, because”

Hope you don't need a new router anytime soon... https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c74787w149zo

I watched the pilot and snippets of other episodes - it's written and mostly aimed at a younger audience, but because it is using an IP that normally isn't associated with that, it comes across as kind of simplistic. I'm looking forward to the post Kurtzman era Star Trek to see if we can get...

Finished the season - was good. The show has a paradoxical mix of not taking itself too seriously, but many of the actors still put their all into it. Wasn't expecting that Chopper backstory episode - Zoro must have been chopping onions somewhere nearby

They had already filmed the 2nd season, which is probably the only reason they’ll even show that. Cancellation doesn’t surprise me, though. They aimed for a young audience that isn’t there and sprinkled enough memberberries in the hopes they could get some long time fans to tune in

For those who didn't read the book and love speculative biology/evolution concepts, this video does a deep dive into the biology of the Eridians and Astrophage that the movie doesn't cover in as much detail

Originally the game was going to be PVE only, then they pivoted to make it PVPVE extraction.

You just answered it yourself - they're adding current stuff to add to the realism because the show takes place "in the real world". Is it realistic that some people might over-react and cause an escalation? Yes. Is it realistic that all agents aren't all poorly trained idiots? Yes. People...

They just announced on their website they plan to add a patch to address some control issues edit: link to page [Notices] A Message to Our Players | Crimson Desert

Going full evil in the game literally deletes a shitload of content...and companions lol

It's probably an easy sell also "I'll save you a bunch of money on special effects" "You're hired!"

Didn’t realize he was 86 years old. For some reason I thought he was younger

Doesn't need to be Dune lol All they needed to do was lean into the multiverse shit early, shrink the scope of the game in terms of systems, and have the player jump to different realities that have meaningful changes beyond the "everything is the same except your intro to Constellation"

I watched some streamer play this - the control scheme for m+kb looks like a nightmare

Dammit, now I have disc 2 PTSD resurfacing

Decent intro trio of episodes

Season 4 started today - first 3 episodes are available

It’s holding that 50kish player count, which is respectable, but when you consider the budget, probably falling well under expectations

It’s an old scam. I remember when PS2 came out, people would buy them from stores with cash return policies, gut the unit, then try to return the empty shell

I know people wanted live action, but unless they’re doing a 20 years later sequel to Serenity, it was the most budget friendly option. Like Babylon 5

Amazon seems to want to distance themselves from the gaming sphere, so it doesn't completely shock me even though they're effectively just a publisher in the west.

Looks like the game isn't dead - large base patch that seems to overhaul some stuff and another story DLC (which you get automatically if you bought the premium version)

The worst thing to happen would be if devs skimped on good art “because dlss5 will fix it”

It was a good show. It had budget issues, but some of the storylines got pretty good (and dark). They murdered like half the cast

You didn't read the part where I mentioned some people still think it is a buggy POS because they never bothered to play the game and just parrot shit online

Right, most of our fond memories of EQ1 were the interactions between fighting because there was so much downtime. With hindsight, the game was boring as fuck from a mechanical perspective unless you were pulling in the raid

Most of the bugs were overblown and solely on ps4. I had literally one game impacting bug on pc which was fixed with a reload. Complaints can fix things, sure. But you have to be careful when you have grifters like Grummz or Drinker or Quartering who have a conflict in interest between...

Yes you can tell some games might be shit, but you also have NPCs parroting whatever the internet tells them. Cyberpunk is a perfect example. The game was great and benefited from fixes that came from complaints, but you have lots of people who never played it and still act like it is a buggy...

He isn’t wrong. It’s like a toddler crying they hate a food they literally have never tried before

It was part they didn't like the "tomes 4 relics" model in EW and in part they wanted an area to grind for something. I personally think the new Beastmaster instance might be a clue on what we see in the next xpac - they say it is something that "hasn't been seen before" in the game, so it is...

The lackluster GAS model for Avengers is what sunk it. Midnight Sun and GOTG weren't objectively bad games

Hildibrand probably uses resources for animation mostly, although they will recycle some of it into the MSQ. I do wonder what the exploration gameplay will be like in the next xpac - probably too early to make another Occult/Bozja-like zone again and I don't see them doing another crafting...

They tried that when Ion wanted to cater to the sweatlords. Oh wow, what a surprise, most of their population aren't sweatlords and they bled a fuckton of players because the non-sweatlords had nothing to do. People also got sick of "borrowed power". When a game is that old, there is only so...

Because it itches that "modern military in ancient times" fantasy people have

Another GATE series - although they're on a sub? How TF did they get a submarine through the gate?

Here is a more simple explanation: How do you grow a playerbase on a 22 year old MMO? How do you retain players who are getting bored of doing the same shit for decades? You add additional content that appeals to a different subset of players, or provide a good amount of "side content" to...
