I agree, I have an i7-8700k and a 2080super which I’d say are like mid to high level specs and I have a terrible time running Wild Hearts and Starfield. Such a damn shame too as a big MHW and MHR fan I was really looking forward to Wild Hearts and just couldn’t run the game well at all. At this point I’m just not surprised when a triple A game runs like dog water on my system, usually these games are free on gamepass I try them out and 5 minutes later I uninstall.

Indies are where it’s at nowadays.

People don’t typically do dragons well in general tbh. Even when dragons are secondary to the plot, opting for wyverns the no-armed beasts and calling them dragons. It sort of hurts me inside.

But I agree I want more genuine dragons in my media.

(Side note, I haven’t read the OP as to not spoil myself so for all I know OP could be arguing the same thing so sorry for the redundant point if that’s the case.)

Wise words

The issue with SR Reboot is that they did try to modernize the humor, they went and dove head first to new style of humor and it clearly didn’t work for them.

In my opinion this is fixed with MEHEM. But I agree with you, especially the OG ending before the directors cut.

At least with the ship of theseus it’s an inanimate object. You could replace any board or sail and still consider it the ship in question. Is it still in fact the ship of theseus? That’s debatable but you could say that it still represents the ship.

In this case BioWare is made up of thinking human beings all that are motivated by different factors. You can’t replace one person with another and expect the same of them even if you got someone who followed the initial person’s logic as closely as possible, they’d still end up with different results to the first.

That is if EA even cares enough to replace the previous developers with like minded individuals which I highly doubt. BioWare of old, make great games while telling the best stories possible. After modern day EA’s influence? Make as much money as you can while puppeteering as the BioWare of old.

That’s how I see it anyways.

You pay for a drip feed of exclusive content fueled by fomo. It’s the same concept the fact it’s got a different name doesn’t change that. I’ve heard all I need to.

Well I fell asleep the other night and half woke up to sleep paralysis, I looked over to see Ronald McDonald peaking out around my doorway. I fell asleep again only for a few minutes later to be reawaken by Mr. McDonald standing at my bed… You know what I did? I said “I’ve got work in the morning.” And turned around. I slept soundly for the rest of the night. 😂 I’ve never been so bold in the face of terror like that.

I know it sounds like a joke and by all means feel free to laugh, but this did actually happen. I don’t even know what might have triggered it, I mean I haven’t had McDonald’s in years, personally I’m more of a Wendy’s guy.

Battlepass for a sleep tracker? I’ve seen it all.

Do we count sleep paralysis and it’s associated demons as dreams here?

Nice!

As a Testament main I can say, that was clean.

I don’t disagree with you. What I’m saying is that I prefer movies not to end on a huge cliff hanger, I feel as though we are going to see a lot of movies be cancelled in the near future due to the SAG/AFTRA strike, meaning that we are going to have a lot of very incomplete stories.

I gotcha, thanks for letting me know.

Which you’d think would be perfect as a series, give each topic and episode the room it needs to breath.

Okay, it just feels like we’ve started to see a resurgence in this type of film structure because for a while we got a lot of one-offs and trilogies a format that I perfer because there’s no need to watch the next movie to get closure for the last movie you watched. Now it seems that a lot of movies are adopting this big cliffhanger at the end of a story. It may not be rushed, but it’s incomplete.

Of course you’d plan to structure the episodes in a way that made sense to the format.

And what evidence do you have in saying splitting a book into movies is easier than doing so into episodes? Just because there are more episodes than there are movies does not equate to difficulty. If you planned for it, it would make just as much sense as a movie.

Personally I would have been fine with reduced visuals if it meant that they give it space to breath for that worldbuilding in a series format, but to each their own I suppose.

Maybe not, but why not just make it a series at that point? Or end it in a way that has some closure, with potential for a future movie. Like we’ve done for decades.

What is it with movies releasing in two parts nowadays? Saw the same thing with Across the Spiderverse, and I guess the same thing happened to Ninja Turtles, but I haven’t watched that one so I might be wrong. Fast X too from what I hear.
