You can’t force something onto the collective conscious of the internet like this dog. If it was going to happen it would have months ago, not now.
So... just gonna be blunt... the reason the internet likes Dimistrescu is she’s an attractive older woman who trips people’s size difference fetishes.
I’m noticing that she doesn’t have that moxie like Savathun. Oh sure, the evil queen’s blatantly leaning against the fourth wall but Savvy’s got us on edges, wondering all the time how much she knows, how many lies she’s telling, and if she’s even talking to the Guardian or you the player. Savathun’s got a silver…
She’s cool enough, and her design is fantastic, but for mass appeal I’d say she’s missing “a couple things”.
I seem to recall one of the lead developers agreeing with that point now.
People will always gravitate towards meta builds and the largest numbers instead of getting wacky.
yes this is my issue with D3... like obviously I don’t want to go a million years without a decent drop but there is a happy medium between “loot is mythical and impossible to find” and “acres of trash”
Did you read the section of the article where they brought that up and the elephant in the room and talked about the reason why they decided to cover it? Or did you just skip down to the comments to whine?
Played a couple hundred hours when it came out. Not a hardcore player (almost exclusively single player), but obviously enjoyed it.
Really did not expect it to hold up so well all these years later, and fully expected to realize my rose colored glasses made the game better in my memory that it is now in 2021. But I’m…
How much progress is it really when it’s just a bunch of liberal creatives expressing their liberal beliefs in a liberal echo chamber? Do you call it progress when you’re bullshitting with your like-minded friends over a beer about issues you all agree on? We’ve always dominated the entertainment industry. Making…
Not sure if this was mentioned either here or on the other article, and I think I’m remembering this right:
That’s a fine accomplishment and I hope it continues, unabated.
Well put. If you want a recent version of this narrative, look no further than CDProjektRed, who worked really, really hard to portray themselves as the ‘goshdarn good-natured lil guy up against the big mean bullies of gaming’... whilst putting their employees through exactly the same hell as those ‘big mean bullies’…
Frankly I think a lot of the praise/energy around it was because it was woman-led and woman-directed. And that does make it important, and I’ve listened to people I respect tell me how moving it was to see an iconic woman character who is powerful, who is strong, and who hasn’t been overly sexualized and whose…
The only reason the first Wonder Woman was so well received was because it was the only bright spot in a disaster of a franchise, a lonely lifeboat in a vast sea of poop. If it were a Marvel flick, it would have been placed among the Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 tier of movies.
For a substantial segment of the population, the drawbacks of seeing a movie in the theater outweighed the advantages, pre-pandemic. First of all about 10 years ago I stopped going to any theater at all where I couldn’t reserve seats. Then there’s travel, cost, the random chance that someone sitting near me is some…
It was actually discussed quite openly by both of them at the time. Takei said that Sulu wasn’t really meant to be Japanese (The name is only barely recognizable as Japanese, as it’s not a real surname —and if it were, would almost certainly be romanized as Suru). The idea of Star Trek was that it was bringing these…
Ben Affleck infamously pulled this shit during the filming of Gone Girl over a Yankees cap. Shut down production for four days.
