there is a difference between dying repeatedly in a breezy game like hollow knight and dying repeatedly in a slow jrpg. the latter wastes far more time

i agree that we probably do deserve this

there is a fair share of humor, but a lot of it involves characters that are kept fairly separate from the old twin peaks cast. if you’re hoping for a lot of dale cooper and the bookhouse boys cracking wise with the girls at the diner, you’ll be disappointed, but after i gave the new characters a chance they grew on…

do you think there might be a difference in scale between an isometric CRPG and a AAA third-person action JRPG?

oh, so it’s not a sequel to jupiter ascending. who care

offhand, crait. canto bight. takodana. but i don’t know the names of random spacecraft and pieces of set dressing in the sequels, while i do know a lot of little trivia about the set dressing of the prequels. is this because the prequels are “better” or is it because i had a bunch of artbooks from the prequels that i…

Something i wonder about: is/was there a similar backlash to Okami? Considering the gameplay regularly does this:

tiresome. it’s 2021

my big problems with RotJ at this point are that the Jabba’s Palace scenes probably go on too long, even if the payoff is rad as hell, the scenes on Dagobah are really dry, and they drop both the “why did Ben lie about Darth Vader” and “what did Yoda mean when he said ‘no, there is another’” plot threads in a really…

god, it fucks me up to hear ben say “and he was a good friend” in ANH, remembering that, as far as the prequels go, the two were passive-aggressively sniping and bickering with each other all the time. something about hayden’s performance also makes his jokes and laughs with obi-wan seem really insincere, like he’s…

I know it’s a cliched thing to say at this point, but obi-wan’s arrival on Utapau really looks like a ps2 cutscene. The heavy reliance on CGI in the PT has really aged a lot of those movies extremely poorly

i mean, isn’t that because you were younger and more invested as a kid and rewatched those movies more than you rewatch newer movies as an adult?

i wish they did include that scene, so Greedo could storm off and yell “next time i see you, i’ll shoot you, skywalker!” and then anakin can yell back “not if i shoot you first!” and we can all smile and clap

people can claim this is the best of the prequels, fine, taste is relative. but i’ve seen people claim RotS is on par with the OT, or even better than RotJ, which is truly insane. RotJ may not be perfect, but it didn’t send half of its core cast on a literally pointless sidequest to chase down a boring CGI villain for…

if the game is identical to fft in all but name, just admit you don’t like the genre and only care about branding lol

good memories of marion’s. every year for like 20 years we’d visit family in dayton for christmas and at the end of it we’d order like five or six pies from marion’s and go to town. didn’t have it frequently enough to notice the change

sounds like it was the board game makers who fucked up, but don’t let that interfere with the five-minute hate

tell the transphobes to keep their shit on parler first

netflix has produced, by my count, one (1) good anime so far
