exquisite tea posted:When George Lucas was making the prequels I'd read teaser stuff like "and THIS bad guy fights with FOUR lightsabers" and think, "this man totally and utterly understands the average Star Wars fan." Yeah, and people rip on them now (cause they suck) but those movies were huge hits!

I'm gonna remake Goodfellas but every time Joe Pesci's character would be on screen I'm going to replace him with Chewbacca.

an actual dog posted:no it's a thing, like Battlefield was a huge hit and literally all that game did was throw together old star wars stuff in a reverent way. Even though it's a Star Wars game, EA is footing the bill while Lucasfilm is licensing it to them. They have a lot more to lose if the game appeals to just Star Wars enthusiasts instead of a more mainstream audience.

OT Star Wars is good, everything else ranges from really bad to almost as good. e: the real monster is Capitalism that requires that Stockholders make as much Profit from Products and anything less than a 1,000% Return on Investment is seen as a failure. Artistic and narrative endeavors have no place in such a world, microtransactions and social media exposure are the only goals a company has now.

al-azad posted:Same way all action blockbusters get spoiled: the LEGO playset, tie-in comic book, or novelization for these things release months earlier. Remember when everyone thought that Iron Man 3 was going to end with the Mandarin in a scorpion tank taking on Tony Stark because of a leaked Lego set.

The big publishers are fine with funding games that are driven by creative aspirations rather than a profit motive. EA has the EA Originals label, which published Unravel and will publish Fe and Sea of Solitude in the future. Ubisoft published Child of Light and Valiant Hearts. Acti-Blizzard revived the Sierra brand for legacy games like King's Quest and Geomertry Wars. After shutting down Irrational Games, Take2 let Ken Levine start a small team within the company as Ghost Story Games. The red thread connecting these games is that they have modest budgets and small teams. If the games bomb, then they're out 5 million dollars instead of 50+ million dollars. Even if they don't make much money, they're mostly a way to appease and retain veteran staff who are burnt out on blockbusters and want to jump ship to work on small indie games.

So in Odyssey we're all in agreement that your shouldn't get hints from hint Toad but getting the names of Random moons from the bird is fine, right? Right??? I was reluctant to talk to the bird that much but this game has far too many moons and some of them are kind of random to figure out if you don't at least have the name This game, while not flawless, does rule very very hard

I tried to use one of those bagel slicing guillotines today and ended up just partially mushing it. I didn't want to draw attention to myself by futzing around with it so I just ate my bagel unsliced and looked up a YouTube video of how to use it later.
