Weird stance but good on you for having principles I guess. 

I played about 5 hours of multiplayer in patch 3 and it worked way better than it did in launch week.

You should play it or watch some long form gameplay before writing it off as not faithful enough. I’m curious as to why you think it is not using any of the D&D game systems because that has not been my impression with 20 hours in early access.

It is really wild how the opinion of ME3 multiplayer has turned around since before launch. I remember trying to defend it when it was originally announced because ME’s gameplay was ripe for a co-op mode. 

To be fair, the games you listed are all PlayStation exclusives games. They were all super successful of course but those games were designed to sell consoles. Not everyone who has a playstation will buy Spiderman but everyone who wants to play spider-man will buy a playstation. They do not individually need to make a…

Sony pays for these movies but they do not make them. That is all Disney/Marvel Studios.

I do think the issues of the first two episodes kind of persist through out the series. I’m enjoying the series enough but I don’t think it is the most smoothed out MCU storytelling. Like it really gets bogged down in the external and the internal storytelling kind of suffers. It kind of reminds me of Age of Ultron…

Jared Leto joker wearing a crown of thorns for starters.

They are a lot of fun and I think they could have kept those first 3 episodes 90% the same.

Long winded but really hit the nail on the head.

I do think the first couple episodes are pretty good don’t get me wrong.

Yeah I think what bothers me about it is that people will claim what we get will have always been his original vision. But clearly he has added scenes and changed scenes based on what fans have been demanding the last couple of years.

I always thought it was clear that he had sequenced all the filmed parts of the movie but didn’t have most of the effects done. Which of course is what the article states. I think the fanboys always misinterpreted as “final cut”

I almost wonder the shows first couple episodes would have been stronger if it told us what Agatha was trying to do. Like the first 3 episodes are fun but we don’t really have any reason to care if the dinner is successful or the magic show goes well, because we the audience know it is all fake. 

Not sure if your comment is about Wandavision specifically,

Personally, I think we got enough new good content last year, shrubs, swimming, dreams, couple of NPCs, that make me pretty excited to see what kind of stuff they come out with in year 2. 

I tried to get into FF XIV multiple times in the past. Usually stopping around level 30-40. But yeah these patches made it super easy to get into. It is still a bit of a grind and the gameplay didn’t really click for a while. I kind of just thought I was button mashing. But now I’ve got 3 classes around level 45ish…

Screw the haters. Bring back the deluge of mediocre Star Wars games from the 2000s. 

I would have paid for a golden robed Snoke that tells me why he keeps a rabid cur in a place of power at the push of a button. And then calls me a child with a lightsaber in a mask. And then yells “GENERAL” in that deliciously raspy way he talks.

I mean there is a big difference between your first three examples and your last two. Orson Scott Card is not currently tweeting to a couple million impressionable fans saying “if we let the gays marry we will all burn in hell”
