I want to go back to the theaters ASAP, but will not do so until face mask requirements are dropped completely.  I can wait a few more weeks.

They took a page from The Witcher 3 and turned them into huge, open-world maps full of question marks to explore. They’re fun, but I do kind of wish they’d return to smaller, more intimate character-driven stories like the first couple of games. The mechanics of the last two games are impressive, as is the scale, but

yeah the movies needed a guy who makes cartoons for children and adult shut-ins. that would have made them good.

I wouldn’t mind if he had a more powerful role creatively, even if I don’t think that everything he does, or has done, is gold. I like most of what he’s done with Star Wars, but not everything. Some things are just too out there for me.

No one really changes or has any meaningful catharses.

I’m with you there. Even as someone who loves DBZA, I don’t think you could say that it’s better than the source material, especially when so much of what works about DBZA is dependent on it being an abridged version of an anime.  I personally don’t feel comfortable saying that it’s better than the original series.

No offense to TFA, but that’s why I don’t care for the IS DBZA BETTER THAN DBZ debates? Because DBZA, for as well written as it is, is still entirely dependent on the source material for most of its content.  It’s a remix, albeit one that feels like an anime for a modern, internet age, but still...

Alright, put simply, they don’t want to jump the shark. Does anyone else find it odd that they compare their projects to actual franchises when they’re just overlaying referential parody dialogue over existing footage without changing the actual plot of the original material, and they’re at constant risk of receiving

“Dragon Ball Z Abridged as always the superior Dragon Ball experience.”

The Stockholm syndrome it takes for everyday people to defend a company with a license over the creator of the licensed work astounds me. At least demand the company pay you for running interference for them.

Reading through that thread it actually seems like what he was against was a company using the video game rights he had signed over (to a company that had since been acquired by another company) to produce comics and other tie-in material based ostensibly on the games, but not actually covered in the original

This is just his kind of humour. He’s always been like that even back in the 90s when the books were coming out. It works better in person so he was always fun art conventions.

This is the way CD Projekt spins this tale. The reality is that he had sold the rights to Metropolis, that CD Projekt has later acquired, around 10 years before CD Projekt made the first game. The studio broke even on Witcher 2 (Witcher 1 was a financial loss for them) and made Witcher 3. Up to this time Sapkowski

He didn’t sue anyone. At least get your facts straight. 

My reaction to this interview is “. . . Oh, I guess I can kind of understand how I can grate on people now.”

Okay, so, fans of this show, I have questions:

Eh, people have misunderstood him on this. What he said referred to the fact that the books, being published in English and some other languages with game covers, ended up being perceived as game tie-ins and while this got him some new readers, it also lost him readers who were put off by the perception that his books

It’s not Westworld here people.  It’s not *that* complicated.

“oh no no no no no no”

Eh, I found the show more enjoyable than the games. I like Cavill as Geralt more than game Geralt. Game Geralt is probably one of the dullest characters in gaming history.
