The difference is FFX and Xenosaga (best series ever, IMO) are linearity done right. They have the right mix of RPG game mechanics, story building, character development, downtime in cities, side quests, the ability to do some backtracking, etc etc. 13 failed at most of these so the linearity is highlighted to a…

FFXV was handily worse. As bad as 13 is/was, it knows what it is and what it isn't. It doesn't give the appearance of any lofty expectations. It just is what it is and it is good at what it does, whatever quality that is. FFXV failed to deliver at nearly every turn. I finished it inside of two weeks. To my…

I have a long love/hate relationship with this series. I loved the setting, the story, and the characters. Didn’t enjoy the gameplay so much on any of the three. I want to replay them. I just don’t know if I can stomach the poor combat mechanics. I didn’t find it difficult. Just the opposite. It was easy. Too easy…

The frustration is there was no cohesive vision been the two movies. Abrams set things up and Johnson tore them down. It isn't often I see a movie so bad I wish I hadn't bothered but this was one of them. So much of that movie doesn't matter that I didn't bother buying it. Chances are we'll just skip it during…

I’ve never understood why anyone thought this would be a success.

When I factor the cost of streaming vs cable I don’t include the cost of internet because I would have that regardless. When comparing TV +Internet vs Streaming + Internet, the cost of the internet isn’t a factor unless you change that plan and then you only consider the price difference. When we stopped paying for TV…

Just assume episode one was titled Pilot.

Geez. Whine a little. I signed up that morning and noticed servers were down for a few hours. By the afternoon we had profiles and content streaming to multiple devices.

Well this sounds like an absolute dumpster fire that was planned by a drunk child. Between this and the twelve games listed for release, why is this still be touted as the future of gaming? Sounds like it's in a coffin ready for a dirt nap.

They aren’t so desperate to look for cash to scrape together from D+ to offset a theme park. The parks have a chairman responsible for profitability. There's a different chairman responsible for the media networks just like there's different people at the top of Marvel Comics and Marvel Studios. They act independent…

Imitation is the purest form of flattery. How many games ripoff each other? Wear it as abadge of honor.

Ugh. Thanks for saving me the time. That seemed too good a deal.

EA: “We don’t have loot boxes because we don’t call them that. Also, we’re going to pretend studies haven’t shown correlation between the addictive nature of our surprise mechanics so we can cash in on people’s gambling addictions.”

All the fake science in Star Trek you accept and this is the one thing you can't just wave off?

Also, being able to passively sell (while you’re away) is another factor. I played numerous MMOs where setting up a shop even while offline was an option. Prices rose because players discovered since they weren't seeking buyers they could set prices and buyers would find them instead.

I enjoy playing it. It isn't great but it has its moments. I do wish there was an option to turn off his little outbursts. To me they kill the immersion.

She went against Brienne and held her own. The Faceless Man taught her to fight. You act like she’s never held a sword in her life. Go back and rewatch her time with them. The same man who trained the Waif trained her.

If you rewatch that scene with the subtitles on there’s no indication he said anything. There’s no indication he said the word “go” once let alone three times. This theory is foolish at best. She is basically Batman with a hit list. Anyone believing she isn’t capable of accomplishing what she did hadn’t paid attention…

That rating is deserved. People like to complain that it’s like every other open world game but if we’re being honest, those are the same people who would also complain if they “reinvented the wheel” because “[insert their favorite game’s name here] did it better so why not go with that instead?” There’s no pleasing…

I watched in the dark and didn't have any problems seeing what was going on.
