I respect the authorial intent of the creators and believe nothing should change their Perfect Immutable Artistic Vision, which is why I yanked out my ethernet cable the second the game asked me to update.

I’m sittin here in my late 30's, not particularly enjoying this show.

And then Boba Fett came over the hill on a god damn rancor and I literally said “Alright they got me”.

I’m not American and my friends and I found it unfunny and all in all passable at best ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The ship’s armaments would’ve been useless against the battledroids’ shields. Remember Mando’s line: “Our energy weapons can’t get through, and our kinetic weapons have too much velocity.” The Rancor, on the other hand, could easily overwhelm them with its physical attacks, because it didn’t rely on lasers or…

Ten year old me would have loved seeing Boba Fett ride into battle on a rancor.

This is exactly the kind of smug, holier than now bullshit that’s making people hate the film even more. I’m definitely not one of the people the film is making fun of. I believe in climate change. I’m not in the media in any way. And I found it to be an unfunny, unoriginal slog. So congratulations. You’ve met one.

Yup, the whole “Curse them if they do. Curse them if they don’t”.

That would have been the complaint instead.

Maybe they thought that dressing up in traditional attire of cultures that aren’t their own as white people would’ve been 10x worse.

So....a solution? Sounds like you don’t want them to explore these cultural identifiers and the explorer-genre tropes. Should half the cast be fired and people you find “approved” be playing this game?

“This may seem like an overly cynical and bad-faith interpretation of what Critical Role is doing with this new campaign.”

Sheeeeit, I guess the thing I’ve been using to game (and horror of horrors, stream/play bluray) for 4 years is a giant pile of donkey crap! I think I’ll just light myself on fire now for being such a dumbass for actually enjoying my $250 investment.

This post is mindless drivel from a drooling fanboy in mommy’s basement. As an owner of all systems last gen, I will categorically say that you, sir, are full of shit. The Xbox one is a powerful system that still does a great job at playing games that look nice and play well.

I mean, we can say that, but looking at game sales charts, the only PS exclusive in the top 10 of sales over the holiday season of 2021 is Spider Man Miles Morales. The rest are multi-platform or Nintendo Exclusive. For all of 2020, according to metacritic, of games with a 90 or higher score, 4 were PS exclusive (3…

They bungled the launch, but came from behind and surpassed Sony on consumer friendliness a few years ago. MSFT messed up, but Sony just constantly has so much contempt for their customers.

No kidding. The console that brought us GamePass “sucked”? This has been my primary gaming machine for the last 7 years. Between GamePass and Cloud Gaming, I’m in no hurry to update to the Series X.

Played Resident Evil 8 on the Xbox One X and experienced no problems. Have no idea where “Toward the end of its run, if you played a glossy AAA game, you could almost feel the thing wheezing under the pressure” came from.

Maybe you were trying to play on an original xbox?

Well, this is a stupid take.  

Even having been lucky enough to get an XSX near launch, I still quite miss the Xbox One’s HDMI pass-through and the ability to use Kinect for voice controls. So take your “Xbox One sucked,” turn it sideways, and cram it in your kiester.

I personally don’t give a shit if they get banned for this. They don’t own the content, and it’s very debatable over whether they actually “elevate” or even add to the content. I don’t blame companies for stopping this.... because it’s effectively the same thing as pirating the show/movie.
