I think he knew the effect of introducing the reveries. I just don't think he gave it much thought until he realized his own mortality/that Delos was going to fire him. Ford seems, to me at least, a character that is motivated almost entirely by his own self-interest, which in this case worked to the advantage of the…

Not really. You forget that the log showed that Arnold, not Ford, was the one who changed Maeve's code. There's an argument that it was actually Ford, but again, there's a level of ambiguity there that was intentional. Also, even if Ford was the one who did it (which I was thought was the case in the middle of the…

Even then. Ford arguably does what he does in reaction to the board kicking him out of the park as much as he does to realize Arnold's vision of consciousness among the hosts.

" . . . we find out that Ford really wasn’t the bad guy after all, and that, surprisingly enough, he’s been on the host’s side from the beginning."

Yeah, Japanese music in particular sort of branched off and is in its own little pocket of time now.

There were futuristic sorts of vehicles in VII, VIII, and XIII, I think. This is the first game to directly reference 20th century automobiles as a design point.

Probably, yes.

That would be funny if I weren't virtually certain there were many, many women who have had that very thought.

It's not worth getting yourself riled up over. If these people were capable of listening to reason, well . . . things would be different now.

Take it easy on poor Head. He didn't do anything wrong.

I know a woman with a PhD who is a rabid fan and voted for the guy. We went to high school together — she's not stupid. But she did make a terrible, terrible choice. She won't talk to me about this anymore.

A friend of mine has a daughter who just started college. (Yes, I'm old, let's move on.) I was shocked to find out her daughter (1) didn't vote, but (2) said that if she did, it would have been for Trump. I'm still not clear on the reasoning; I can't think of why any young woman in particular would vote for that. But…

Good Heavens, you don't like my opinion? I shall retreat to the wilderness.

Nope. Which is amazing, because I didn't think a movie that featured Chris Pratt for two solid hours could be so boring.

I don't disagree, but FFXV also is the first entry that feels a tad homoerotic to me, and that was even before someone suggested they go out into the desert and "pitch a tent" together.

X was great. I also liked VIII, though most disagree with me on that.

Another way to look at it is they don't have a scantily clad woman as a sex object. Instead we have Gladius in various states of undress + leather pants, which some of us greatly prefer.

I liked XIII as well. It may not be my favorite but it was consistently enjoyable.

I know it's not a popular opinion, but I liked XIII better than either XIII-2 or Lightning Returns. I mainly thought the battle mechanics and character variety was interesting, as was the level-up system. The later games did better in terms of being more open-ended, but they kept whittling down the player characters…

I played this for a few hours last night. I generally like it so far, but the controls in battle are a tad frustrating. Also, did no one think to make a way to switch between "Active" and "Wait" modes without going into the menus?
