Don Cheadle stepping in for Terrence Howard as Rhodey/War Machine was another pretty big MCU actor switcheroo. I think that worked out all right, whether or not The Usual Hollywood Bullshit was ultimately responsible.

I spent nearly a decade in QA, so I’d say I have a pretty good understanding of the process. Seicarescu is absolutely right about the number of teams on projects like this. Largescale games will almost certainly have an internal QA team that works for the developer, along with at least one external team. The external…

I only cheat in single player games because I want to have fun, not get pounded into bloody mush. The few times I’ve played multiplayer games, it’s been without any cheats because I know it’s more about playing with other people.

Nightdive’s reputation up to now has been pretty glowing so this is a huge disappointment, and I’d be curious to hear about the decision-making that led to this final product.

The lack of just wandering around is absolutely insane to me.

I mean éSports was right there

She’s playing Reva like a “bratty child” because that’s what Reva is. She was a Jedi Padawan who survived the purges, was traumatised, and ended up having to join a cult that worships rage, aggression, and brutal domination order to survive. The character is clearly supposed to be emotionally stunted. May as well…

It’s amazing how often these posts about Star Wars actors facing racism and hate draw out people commenting “MY PROBLEM IS ACTUALLY WITH THEIR ACTING, THANK YOU.”

Have you ever met someone with power? Like 9 times out of 10 they’re just a bratty child. That’s also a running theme with the bad guys in Star Wars.

I actually think the character is intentionally supposed to be kind of bratty and immature. That’s the kind of dark side user she is. It is said repeatedly that she’s impulsive. She acts without thinking. She’s kind of similar to a young Anakin in that way, actually.

Maybe you should go watch some more ER.

It’s interesting that, in a story talking about all the obvious racism she is encountering, your response is “Here are the not-racist reasons I don’t like her”

I think you protest too hard buddy.

I’m pretty sure everyone asked for this. If Embracer is willing to make a third game to close out the DX prequel trilogy, I’m all for it.

I mean the troublesome non useful engine getting walled up in a disused tunnel as punishment is pretty hard-core I guess.

I’m surprised they didn’t work personality types into it somehow.

Exactly. It’s why I never let my kids watch this. It’s basically Wealth Doctrine for Kids. 

S-E have a big problem with not understanding how to produce western games at smaller budgets than ‘bonkers-nuts’ (they fathom this with their Japanese studios, for some reason). Meanwhile Embracer basically built itself up out of budget and mid-range titles, which is pretty much exactly where a lot of Eidos and…

It generally applies to the largest media businesses nowadays. Millions are chump change to billionaire companies. You either make it big, or they’re tossing you into the Grand Canyon. Because of this gap, they never have to respect anyone in the industry but themselves.
