The protag character in FO4 never bugged me, but it definitely seems like it wasn’t worth all of the effort to implement it into a game of that size. The payoff isn’t proportionate to the encumbrance placed on the dev team and voice actors to get it all done. It definitely can work in smaller, tighter-focus games,…

How in the actual name of hell did they manage to get the entire damn band back together for this on the down low? Did Wright just call em up and they all unanimously went, “Fuck yes?”

Extreme agreement on the idea that this needs to be the books now instead of just the movie done anime style.

I think it’s really fun and cool that modern live action SW requires entire articles debating the choice of four words in a trailer. Very sustainable strategy that won’t at all alienate casual fans, imo.

Agreed. The whole “gray Jedi” or “dark Jedi” thing just doesn’t apply to someone who really is just an unofficial “good guy” and ten times better at it than the next nearest official good guy. It’s like having enough education to pass the bar or a med school exam without ever actually becoming a lawyer or doctor, but…

It’s interesting to compare Ahsoka and Luke here - because Luke learned barely anything about the Jedi from Obi-Wan and Yoda before embracing the label himself (“a Jedi, like my father before me”), when he later turned his back on the Jedi order, he cut himself off from the Force entirely. Because he didn’t know the…

Your first post in 10 months and you can't even get the basic facts of what you're whining about right. Try again next year I guess, lol.

Goddamn Activision, you done fucked up for real. Now even a licensee is tired of their bullshit! That’s a weird twist if I’ve ever seen one.

They found what looked like a tape backup, but it turned out to be Laserbeak in disguise. (He was part of a deep cover mission to make Starscream look like an idiot...)

Absolutely. Remember, gang: it’s not the actors or writers holding up the shows and films. It’s the studios refusing to pay out a sliver of their massive profits to ensure that the people driving their business’ success can live in comfort and dignity (not millions of dollars comfort, just things like, y’know, health…

I mean, they’re attached to a machine that transfers their physical form and previous thoughts to another being, so is it all that far-fetched that it would keep them safe from the effects of radiation too?

also this^

What else doesn’t make a lick of sense is that IO9 once again offers series analysis from a writer who admits mid-article that they haven’t seen the show.

You misspelled 'Morbius 2' as 'Kraven'. 

Am I the only one who really hates how dirty they did Moira’s character throughout this entire run for the past few years? They turned one of the most reliable, helpful, kind human supporting characters, one of the ONLY ones the X-Men had, not only into just another mutant but a straight-up cackling villain. It really…

If only there was some precedent they could have looked at to avoid these mistakes...

She came back so fast that half of the “fridging” essays were still in rough draft form.

Of the games you listed, Dragon Age Origins is the closest to what you can expect from a proper CRPG.  I’m not saying BG3 will play like that, only that DAO brought the kind of tactics you would normally see in games like Baldur’s Gate.

Having never read the books, I can offer no opinion on the quality of the adaptation — except to acknowledge that, given how long the series is, it was always going to have to make big changes in order to have any chance at all of reaching a conclusion. Taking 30+ years to put out 15+ seasons is obviously not a…

I was so disappointed by that show. Talk about a shit adaptation. 

Can we just a reboot on Wheel of Time? I’d be ok with all the same actors, just change up literally everything else.
