I agree with the OP and I’ve played and beaten every mainline Final Fantasy game except XI.

Makes sense on the surface, but this would inevitably lead to a firestorm of enraged parents followed by advertisers pulling out.

Had to be Boyega, right?  although from those pictures it might have been a completely new character called ‘knives for hands’

One of the things I love about ‘The Last Jedi’ (a legitimately great Star War, in my opinion) is that it humanises Kylo just enough that you start to have hope for him ... and then brings that hope crashing down as he tries to convince Rey to join him as head of the new evil empire. It shows that someone can be hurt…

does it let you escape the game’s gross button mashing action gameplay and replace it with something that would make it worth playing?

It’s even worse than that. If you look at the page of Daniel Levy (https://vyle.artstation.com/projects/bK5Jar), an official concept artist for Rise of Skywalker whose work also appears in the official art book, there’s a plot that existed after Duel of the Fates but before the final draft of Rise of Skywalker...

I don’t know why you would call him the dumb guy’s smart guy. It’s not like he has a reputation as especially intelligent compared to any other director. He’s written some thoughtful sci fi, and I can only assume that it’s not thoughtful enough for OP. But he doesn’t have a Rick & Morty style cult of people who call…

Yeah as I previously posted, he seems to have made a successful career of making basically indy films that people still talk about today.

So it’s a prequel/sequel (?) for DMZ (comics & miniseries).

He’s just a genre guy who makes stuff that isn’t total trash. He’s not trying to be Kubrick or something. He’s not a high-on-his-own-farts guy like Nolan. He’s more like a John Carpenter.

Huh, looks like Sonoya Mizuno still gets a part, but not the leading role this time.

A documentary is a rare departure for Alex Garland, a director known for dystopian sci-fi film.

It only makes sense Evil Ron Swanson has no mustache.

“Western Forces of Texas and...California”

That’s like saying the country “didn’t need” Apocalypse Now or The Deer Hunter. Artists reflect the world we live in. No one’s making you not watch reruns of The Office instead.

I see nothing to guarantee this is a dud, it looks lovely and everyone’s doing thier best acting, but I bet there’s a twist thier saving and its aliens or each side is being played by external forces (probably Madagascar, I dunno).

You think a bunch of no money indie games are committing fraud to sponsor their games that will probably make a couple dozen thousand dollars each? Are you truly, TRULY that fucking clueless about how literally anything works?

As is now traditional (these features have been going for three years now!), these games are selected at random from the hundreds of emails I’ve received after appealing for suggestions. Unless I say otherwise, I’ve not played the games, and as such can’t vouch for them, not least because most have yet to be released.

You got Deck Builder, so that’s like, one in ten. Good job embarrassing yourself.

And no insult to you, either, but I beg to differ. Its a copy of a game mechanic that has been around on the table for years. Its a good game, but not nearly the best. I can list dozens off the top of my head, even in the last ten years.
