Yeah, I think there is a certain risk here that they might go into the completely opposite direction and it might make the game worse for it. Like, obviously they’re going to have some sort of resource interaction, that’s a given.

I partly agree. While survival elements’ natural home is as a core game mechanic, it still has a lot of value as a side mechanic to contribute to a game’s atmosphere and narrative when used correctly. For example, topping up your gas tank is not a particularly engaging activity, but in final fantasy 15, it really…

Yeah I'm really imagining that the survival elements are essentially going to boil down to "I need more heat resistant armor to navigate this planet without taking damage" 

Because Taylor-Joy and Day aren’t doing voices. That’s just them. So Peach is coming across as kids-movie-generic-female-badass voice #3 and Day just sounds like he’s making his own voice slightly higher pitched.

Yeah that’s what Grounded got wrong. Repairing equipment just became a cycle where you lost days of doing anything interesting so you can repair necessary items.

The thing about Charles Martinet is I don’t think his usual performance is something I’d want to sit through for 80 minutes.

Survival elements without all the stress? Well that’s ok, mods can fix that for them too.

Agreed. There’s no point to even having them there if they aren’t stressful. To have non-stressful “survival” elements misses the point of what they are supposed to be completely.

You’re alone on the ship, you’re out of fuel. You desperately search around the few asteroids in the system scavenging what little you can find. But you’ve stayed too long. You hear the footsteps, he’s here. And all that fills you is dread as they speak.

I have been a member of that cult since seeing the movie in cinemas when it first came out. I had the collectible cups from Wendy’s that changed color when you added cold beverage. That movie heavily informed my pop culture vocabulary. It wasn’t a big hit at the time, but it did decent enough business.

Major kudos for not trying to drag out the “Who is Elora?” mystery, since I’m sure I’m far from the only one who had it pegged the second she was revealed to be lower class. Also, it’s pretty amazing to FINALLY see a Disney product that says right off the bat “Yeah, they’re gay. So what?”

It was ok. Nothing amazing, pretty standard fantasy fare, which honestly fits with the inspiring source. Has more of a mid 2000s TV show feel than a Disney offering though.

Kudos to them not trying to keep things that were obvious from the start as supposed mysteries. I’ll definitely give them that much. Some shows…

I don’t see a problem with that.

Rare Candies and Masterballs.

I can imagine Peach voiced by Elizabeth Debicki after her role in Guardians Vol. 2.

The exploits were the biggest reason I usually preferred to play Blue again rather than any of the newer games! Catching Pokemon above level 100, duplicating items, manipulating the wild Pokemon table to catch those damn Tauros outside of the Safari Zone (who cares about Mew, Safari Zone was torture).

If you can’t write a good video game movie, write one with a reference to something from pop culture in every scene. The more references per scene, the better. That feels like what this trailer is. There’s no reason the Mario Kart scene had to also reference Mad Max-style vehicles.

On the one hand it’s very fun to watch that section of PDS fans that are very into the studio’s output for acting out their Wehraboo or Crusader-Christian fantasies getting angry at a game portraying left-wing economics as superior but at the same time I can’t help but laugh at the naive “if you just give a higher…

What do you mean? Looking it up, it looks like it happened in the S3 episode “Guest Starring John Noble”. Which means it wasn’t even the most memorable thing from the episode it was in as I definitely remember John Noble guest-starring as himself working as Denethor on LotR in that episode.

I didn’t even remember Grodd trying to kill Obama from Legends. Maybe I need to rewatch it but I feel like the most “did they really do that” scene from the show is the Legends summoning a giant Beebo to fight the demon-esque Mallus in S3. It was a perfect way to end the season that I doubt anyone remotely saw coming.
