Yeah... the weird thing about Riot’s spinoffs was the lack of marketing. I remember the fighting game community looking forward to 2XKO back when it was called Project L and it looks like there will be a demo released late April even though the game is set to come out next year.

For me it was what came with the PVE. Halloween events aside, the PVE usually brings a lot of lore and world building. Like each of the Archive events led to a glimpse of Blackwatch, Talon, and major battles/encounters in the setting. The PVE batch they did eventually release for OW2 added Lucio’s first encounter with…

From what I can recall, people weren’t satisfied because of how little there was. It was little more than a glimpse and something that they should have been capable of adding content to at least every other ‘season’. When they released it, it was pretty much the equivalent of their Archives or Junkenstein seasonal…

I don’t think we were overestimating it. I mean, that small pve pack that they did eventually release was the type of pve that was expected. I just expected there to be more of it. I’m fine with ‘horde mode’ pve. Horde mode was the only reason I kept playing Gears of War, and the reason I liked Mass Effect 3's…

To be fair, that applies to a lot of philanthropists too. Even if they just gain thanks to taxes.

A lot of people were drawn to the world building and characters. PvE would’ve allowed that to develop further than the animated shorts and comics we get like 2-3 times a year. People wanted more of that since the characters all have solid personalities and are well-voiced and animated.

I’m still mixed on Joker. The performance was great. It felt like someone mashed a bunch of Scorsese films together then applied some DC comics branding to ensure people actually went to the theaters to see it.

There was that animated show ‘about’ him called Kid Notorious, I remember it being mildly amusing. Plus Two Broke Girls had a creepy character based on him on one episode.

True. But it also doesn’t help when they release tie-in material between films that are promptly negated by the next film because the creative teams aren’t on the same page.

Yeah... I kinda feel bad when you can see actors who do their best in garbage scripts. Both the prequels and sequels seemed like the casts were doing the best with what they had to work with. In both trilogies, the casts were better than the roles they were given. The prequels got hurt by dialogue, pacing, being a…

It started out in the past.

Rebel Moon is a film that is basically a Warhammer 40K and Star Wars crossover fanfic written after reading the Magificent Seven remake’s wikipedia page. It is one of those few films where even turning off your brain and just taking in the visuals and/or action can’t even make you enjoy it. It is one of those films…

She stands out and is likeable every time I see her, but most of the time I see her she’s usually a side character. Hell, she was a side character in The Mummy despite playing the Mummy thanks to Tom Cruise Cruisifying the movie.

Plus saving her winds up with her under Reaper control and needing a rescue anyway. Which might involve Grunt if he survived. If either or both were killed, they were replaced with a generic Krogan and a generic reaperized Rachni queen. Either way, the choices didn’t matter.

Meanwhile all your choices went to an arbitrary score system, with characters that died throughout the trilogy being replaced by carbon copies of themselves. Other characters and plotlines were either forgotten, popped up once to be added to the score system, or were killed off in an email you had a likelihood of…

Harbinger is the lead Reaper attacking Earth. Its there at the start of the game and is the primary Reaper attacking at the end of the game.

Ahead of its time? 

I’d add that the endings wound up just being the dialogue wheel options again. Same color options plus a ‘walk away’. None of the franchise-long promises about your choices mattering actually happened. Everything was pushed towards a readiness score that you could boost through multiplayer or a mobile game so nothing…

Aya Brea did pop up as a limited character in the mobile game, Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius last year. Complete with Parasite Eve branding.

Gotta cater to the red state viewership somehow. Make Tim Allen’s neighbor Kevin Sorbo.
