“Why would you not compliment yourself after cooking a delicious meal? You’re the one who made it happen.”

That’s the OP’s point—that if you make something, and then compliment yourself for it, that you are“saying so yourself.” The guy in the video did not create the 3D mode, so he can say it’s cool, but he can’t “say

I really liked Banner Saga as well, but I think the combat could’ve used some refinement. I liked the systems they had in place, but I think it needs tweaking so that it could be a bit more fun (while retaining the gloomy atmosphere) and not feel like the enemy was always getting in cheap shots.

Wait, this game isn’t about Dark Souls slash fiction?

“Walking everywhere means discovering things you’d never see or notice under normal circumstances.”

It also means countless backtracking.

The game is not designed to show you everything. So many missions, be they story missions or side missions, have you going to and from the same areas, AND via the same routes. You

Yeah, the setting plays a big part. My first Far Cry game was Blood Dragon, which I loved. Then I started playing 3, which I did enjoy: it played the same as Blood Dragon, but felt very different because of the tone, the music, etc. Then I played Far Cry 2, which I really liked (other than it also being too friggin’

That’s not their duel in Cloud City.

Dang, when I first saw this set I was really hoping the mechanic would be that Han lowers, swivels, then rises back up. The “lean back, swivel” mechanic doesn’t quite have the same feel as slowly lowering Han into the carbonite chamber.

Still, it looks like a decent set. Hopefully LEGO will make a companion set for

This just reminds me I’ve been meaning to pick up Sublevel Zero.

Is this actually VR or is it just a POV video? The camera didn’t seem to move around when the viewers moved their heads.

I’m not disagreeing with you that the asteroid chase would work in an Indiana Jones movie, per se. But with my example of the invasion music from Episode 1 sounding like it would fit Indy, it can only sound like it would fit an Indy movie because there had already been Indy movies. When I saw Empire Strikes Back, the

Empire Strikes Back came out a year before Raiders of the Lost Ark. The asteroid chase theme might be fitting for an Indy scene now, but in 1980 there was no Indiana Jones movie for anyone to say John Williams’ Star Wars music sounded like.

Overall this game was pretty solid. The story and comic-style cut scenes are kind of nonsensical and not really up to par with the rest of the game, but the rest was good. It’s not a long game, but some environments wore thin a bit. There’s enough level variety throughout, just you linger in a few areas too long.

Dammit, I thought this game was called Navel Action.

So much this. It KILLS me that Bethesda barely worked into Fallout 4 some (if any) of the obvious improvements Obsidian made in New Vegas. The companion wheel, for instance, is so much better than the system in Fallout 3, 4, and even Skyrim. It’s one thing for Bethesda to not incorporate things that modders add over

Good to know!

I just think it’s silly that, after setting up the radio tower at The Castle, there’s even a reason to have to keep going back to talk to Preston about these quests. Why not just restrict activation of these quests to the Minutemen radio broadcast? If I want one of these quests, I’ll tune in. And when I complete the

Yes, I explained how that was my problem, and I never said his work wasn’t amazing.

So true with James Horner. But I think it’s a little different with Williams. Like, my example with the Rey music sounding like Harry Potter: it doesn’t sound like one of the Harry Potter songs, it sounds like a new song that would fit Harry Potter. With Horner, you play those songs back to back and they just sound

I like the score the more I listen to it, but that held true for me with the prequels. The new music in the prequels was just a lot harder not to notice, so the themes got stuck in your head a lot easier.

But my problem with the music (and let me be clear, this is *my* problem), in both the prequels and the new film,
