Kind of bullcrap that women uniforms don't have exposed midriff and 6-inch heels. Or a big pink bow. How else are we supposed to know they're women, visually?!?!?!

I think it only counts as a strawman if it's not a joke. Like I'm pretty sure nobody here seriously believes that literal poop is considered a valid debate tactic among nerds who can't deal with their franchises having cooties all up ons.

This was, at most, a secondary complaint. The actual problem with the prequels is that they are just terrible goddamn movies.

There was already boiled piss about lady stormtroopers before the film came out, because Battlefront became a thing a month beforehand. I mean, the internet already decided that it hates that game, it was just the cherry on top that they got to complain about EA being skeleton warriors pandering to literally anyone other than an extremely specific standard of straight men and dress that up as a valid and not-creepy complaint because... overpriced season passes, I guess.

And then there was that hilarious film boycott thing because oh no black and female protags. Surprise, lovely nerds can be especially lovely about the biggest nerd-centric property around, and really want you to know that media doesn't influence people and that's why we need to stop the skeleton propaganda that conspires to influence people.

I wish I could say I didn't believe you, but then I remember that a bunch of idiots threw a shitfit when the latest Mass Effect Andromeda trailer featured FemShep's voice because apparently that meant Bioware were pushing their agenda in their games. I keep expecting morons like this to just go away or something but it seems like they're just getting louder instead.

For the most part yeah pretty much.

It's incredibly pretty, but that doesn't equal much fun after the "Woah" wears off. Some of the modes are already ghost towns, there's only a handful of weapons and so many feel almost identical with there being clear-cut better ones anyway, no classes means everyone ends up building about the same optimal things, the best modes only have like 4 maps to them.

Oh and the fact that it's a stripped down version of the previous Battlefront game. And that you'd probably have to py extra for future game modes, assuming its shelf life can even last that far.

Another unfunny, threadshitting knob-end.
The new BF is basically an entirely different game from the old ones. Like, there are thematic and conceptual similarities, but the structure is almost entirely different on every level, people would probably be way less down on it if it was more of a spiritual successor instead of being called Battlefront, and if it costed $40 and didn't have a loving $50 season pass seriously what the christ. I mean even on its own it still needs some big balance passes (:dice: in a nutshell) but there's a fun game underneath all that.

Still, it could be the shittiest garbage to ever come out of the Star Wars license and it would be equally funny/awful to see shitheads piss blood over lady stormtroopers. They don't even have boob armour, skeleton warriors truly are taking over the world!

It's the primary complaint as long as you (not specifically you) still say they are "just terrible goddamned movies" instead of saying they weren't the ones you bonded with.

To keep this on topic, when a multi-hour Internet Critic Video still boils down to "It's not my star wars" despite all the :words:, the message is that you still have to copy-paste from the original trilogy to avoid angering up that segment of the audience.

Again, I grew up with them and they are loving garbage. I was a kid for the entire Prequel Trilogy. Liked them then, except for Clones, slowly stopped enjoying them after. Way before Mr. Plinkett ever showed up. The PT is my Star Wars, but I don't want it.

I love how no one ever addresses any of the issues with the PT it's always "oh bet you got that from that plinkett video huh?". Like, let's ignore all the obvious film making and story flaws in the movie because it's popular to make fun of it.

Maybe it's popular to poo poo on the PT because they're bad films?

No one is pretending that nerds don't hate certain movies for dumb reasons, but pretending like the PT is the unfairly maligned work of art and dumb old geeks only hate it because" IT'S NOT MY STAR WARS!" reeks of desperately wanting to be contrarian.

The prequels are alright, but for some reason some people will get into some isnane rage if you say that. It's like a weird religion where the prequels are THE ENEMY and MUST BE DESTROYED.

They were all right. Which, you know, is a let down compared to the original trilogy, which were amazing, but it's not the loving end of the world. Get over it.

Explaining how lovely movies are lovely, when people insist they are good with absolutely nothing to back that up but baseless assertions and a bald refusal to engage with any points which contradict them = angry I guess.

This stupid argument will never end so let's just skip it

Kimble Justice goes into detail of the over-hyped fighting game Rise of the Robots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4udiQq5gpY

I feel like Kimble has entered that Every Frame a Painting/Oancitizen style of video for the video game set at this point. It's refreshing to see someone pick a wide assortment of ideas, genres and topics and do actual research and discussion on them. If you haven't checked out Kimble's stuff before this is a pretty great video to start with.

I'd be interested in another long Final Fantasy look, maybe at 8 since that's probably one of the more interesting failures in Square's catologue, a game that isn't AWFUL but has glaring flaws coming after something as massive as 7. It deserves a better look than the Spoony "LOL CLOUD? MORE LIKE EMO GAY!" videos.

Also I'd love a continuation of the video game TV show series but looking at early G4 TV shows, there were some strange and interesting shows on that channel which showed it really could have been something. I guess Youtube sort of killed it though.

It's not Internet Critic-y, but this Let's Play up in Games has been doing a pretty good job of that.

Agree these parts yes. I was hoping JJ didn't do anything to erase the prequels, and he didn't. Which is good. Revisionist fan-boy directing is the worst. Glad Neill Blomkamp's Alien movie was put on the back burner.
