“Fits Rey like a glove.”

LOL you literally don’t know what a Mary Sue is:

Nah. It’s World-between-Worlds, and further, the World-between-Worlds or something connected to it seems to be in the Ahsoka trailer.

I mean, that’s a presumption based on her voice being one of the Force voices Rey hears - it’s also possible something more bizarre will have happened to her, especially with the World between Worlds involved. Plus being dead hasn’t stopped Jedi training people.

I’m not sure Rey is actually in all three films. I think it’s only the last one. So I think if anyone travels, it’ll be Ahsoka.

I mean, minimal Jedi got us Andor, which was beyond amazing, so I’m all for that, but this looks like a lot of fun and a direct continuation of Rebels, which was excellent.

Omg I was never able to draw the line between those two very chaotic characters before.

Yeah it’s notable that even the ST haters tend to like Ridley as Rey - that part of how you could tell the actual SW fans who were just hatin’ from the fake-fan (soz but they were) alt-right types who came in to bash on TLJ when they got a chance to use controversy as cover. Actual SW fans who just disliked TLJ or the…

Yeah given the World-between-Worlds related imagery in the logo, I’d say we’ll be seeing more of that.

This is it yeah. If Filoni is involved and is planning this with the writers/directors, and there’s coordination and organisation and so on, great. If it’s three randos again, then ooof.

The novels are really solid too (one of them is actually brilliant). I had no idea the series of novels was called “Silo”, but literally the first few shots of the trailer I said “Wait, is this Wool?” and yes, it is.

“‘yeah i sank like 2000 hours into this game. i got kind of burned out from playing. idk if i really wanna go back to this... i guess i might sink in a few hundred more hours.’ and it is always some kind of ‘loot game’ or gacha game or something like that.”

I cannot fault your reasoning here.

Because it’s fundamentally more fun, allows for far more interesting and diverse mechanics, for longer-term gameplay development and fits extremely well with a ladder or season gameplay model? Because that's why. Not some paranoid drivel about addiction.

That’s a really childish way to look at it, honestly. I’ve played this exact kind of game for decades, and off, and you don’t get “addicted” to it anymore than literally any other game with long-term playability. One more turn in Civilization or SMAC is the most "addicted" to game I've ever been. ARPG endgames of even…

I don’t really agree, at 45.

I mean, it sounds dumb and awful, but the same is true for literally every ARPGs endgame if you write it down.

Yeah I think if you're burned out on D3 this is basically D3-2, so it's not going to work. Personally I've only played two seasons of D3 heavily (up to GRift 100+) so I've still got something in my tank. I am a bit disappointed they stuck so close to the D3 model though, rather than innovating more.

That's for a good reason though. People play through those once and they're done, and their mechanics are shallow and not particularly engaging compared to Diablo 2 and beyond.

Path of Exile actually follows the D2 model of endgame - trading as the primary mode of gaining gear.
