The Last of US

If I can get a console at launch, I do, but I won’t go out of my way. I’ve had a lot of luck with my launch systems lasting a long time. The only exceptions were the launch Xbox 360 and original PS2(technically it works, aside from no longer being able to play the purple bottom discs).

I agree with the entire review, however, my biggest complaint is that the main character Ellis, just isn’t likeable. Say what you will about the movies, but each of them has at least one character that you can root for despite all that’s going on.

For me, it’s time + investment. I really liked Dead Cells because I can play and reach places where I died at, pretty quickly. Pacing-wise it’s a quicker experience than something like Dark Souls. I like Souls and Bloodbourne at first, but I’m less engaged the longer I go on. Mostly because it’s slower paced game.

I feel like at this point, if someone is still upset over it, they’re upset that they stopped playing it and look it now and is awed by what it has become. Did they lie, yes of course. Should they continue to be vilified? That’s a personal decision, but to me they’ve more than made up for it.

Just reading this is making me want to see Matthew Berry play him.

Yeah, I can follow the story, but even just reading your write-up...it only makes sense in FF logic. Lot’s of “oh okay sure, that’s Final Fantasy” for you.

Yeah I actually did enjoy them. The action got better as the stories got wonkier.

I don’t fault that for being what it was intended for. But because it is that way, storytelling-wise it falls short as a movie. Like I said, not that it is a bad thing, I can’t imagine many people with want to watch this without having played the game or have some passing knowledge of the story.

I rewatched this before playing FF7: Remake, just to get immersed in the world again without having to replay the game. The one thing that definitely sticks out to me is that as good as the animation is, it’s showing it’s age without a doubt.

Although not an adaptation(of a game), I always considered this the only real video game “adaptation” I actually liked/enjoyed. However, Sonic the Hedgehog live-action movie wasn’t bad, and Dragon Quest: Your Story was really good(if controversial) as well.

I finished up the campaign of The Avengers game. It actually ended sooner than I expected, but once I realized that the campaign actually spilled over the multiplayer portion, it makes sense why they ended it where they did.

They did, Christos Gage and G. Willow Wilson(who created Kamala Khan) are writers on the game. Did you play the story? It’s goes pretty deep in Marvel lore(one of the equippable artifacts is the Darkhold). Everything is “on-brand” despite being “new”.

Where would the surprise be if you just adapted the story from the comics into a game? Oh great, I get to play as the characters from the comics as they’re drawn, but I know exactly how the story plays out, so I have zero engagement with the story now.

There is a true distinction between all the characters. The only similar aspect is that all buttons serve the same purpose, but have different functions per character. For example, holding the left trigger button and pressing the right one will let any character aim and launch a range attack. However, Thor will leave…

I mean...Disney is still the studio that hired Victor Salva for Powder...it just wasn’t as high profile film for them.

I’ve gotten used to it, but i know when I was kid, I had weird reactions to stretchy characters like Mr. Fantastic and Elongated Man. I realized it was because I associated that imagery with cartoons. Placed in a real world context, it would make me queasy thinking how all that stretching would wreck your insides.…

I hope the add more Young Avengers aside from Kate Bishop. Just so Kamala has more of her younger peers to bounce off of.

If you played the beta, you should be familiar with challenge cards. If you haven’t basically, each character has a set of challenges you can complete that will earn you things like new costumes, nameplates and emotes.

Nah, it’s just probably how he sees certain things and processes certain events and emotions. At the heart of all his stories are very human emotions and relatable situations. They’re just presented in surreal stories.
