Wheat Loaf posted:Also, initial social media reactions to TLJ seem pretty favourable. The initial pre-release reviews for Attack of the Clones were overwhelmingly positive too, I remember. Not that I expect this will be anywhere near AOTC but essentially every single genre blockbuster ever gets enormously positive reviews, especially if it's something Disney puts out.

I was thinking recently it might be fun to play KOTOR again but I haven't owned an Xbox in years. I know it's on Steam, but how is it on PC as compared to console?

It's better on PC. Word of advice though, it's pre-widescreen, so you'll need a fan patch to make the game scale properly.

Obviously, you're gonna have your dime-a-dozen "loved the action/story/CG" impressions that barely speak to the film's overall quality, but then there's stuff like this - https://twitter.com/GermainLussier/status/939790585984008192 https://twitter.com/ScottMendelson/status/939746740118237185 - that actually allude to what the film does right and how it improves upon previous works. Got me all intrigued and poo poo. Cross-Section fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Dec 10, 2017 |

I wonder if there will ever be a Star Wars game with the same scope as KOTOR with the same "first step into a larger world" movie-sized storyline (you know, getting the Force, becoming a Jedi, saving the galaxy). I'd certainly like to think so.

Jedi Knight and KOTOR are the only games that really have the epic heroes journey thing going on. I really want another great single player experience in the near future, it's been far too long. KOTOR II has always turned me off a little bit because of how quick they slapped it together and the fan patches are never going to be able to fully fix that. So it's been 15 years since something really great came along. Battlefront 2 (2017) is fun but there are some things I don't like. Galactic Assault is a poor replacement for Walker Assault. Nobody plays the objective on the first phase most of the time and the last phase usually just turns into a death match. Naboo is the worst for this. The new starfighter mode is a big improvement and I've probably spent as much time playing that as on the ground modes.

Cross-Section posted:It's not so much the 'what' but the 'why' with these Twitter reactions. I mean, I can see your argument, but I don't really think either of those really allude to what the film does right or how it improves over TFA. Plus, Germain Lussier is not only a complete hack who writes for the epitome of genre nerd hack sites, but also claimed to have cried the first three times watching the TLJ trailer so I'm going to go on a limb and say he would post something ecstatic about it either way.

Casimir Radon posted:It's also been 15 years since they came out with a AAA Indiana Jones game. Lucasarts just kind of blew up and shambled off towards death after 2003. The cancellation of Sam and Max: Freelance Police really was the beginning of the end. Granted that eventually led to the Telltale series.

I don't think there's too many Lucasarts alums there anymore. i still like some of there stuff, then again i havent played their stuff in a while. gently caress i just looked up jedi academy. it came out in 2003, christ i feel old.

Season two has a couple of gems that always make the round during the holidays for me.

The lightsaber combat in the Jedi Knight II games was so good, it's amazing they haven't topped it since. The Revenge of the Sith video game also has a surprisingly good versus mode with mostly great saber combat.

I mean, I don't think Daisy Ridley is attractive but she's not ugly and it hardly loving matters.  out of all the reasons to dislike a movie, someone picks that. That being said, I have zero expectations for TLJ.

You guys are aware the Daily Mail website is basically FOX News for my country right? It is also notoriously creepy with attitudes towards both women and sex so I am not loving surprised about the Daisy Ridley creeper comments too.

Wheat Loaf posted:Praetorian Guard sounds like it should be the placeholder that gets changed later in production. I guess it's odd taking a very specific real life thing and putting it in Star Wars. If they were going to do that, they should have called them the Varangian Guard, who were much cooler because they were Vikings.  To me, the Praetorian Guards look like the pomegranate-juice samurai from the Pom Wonderful TV commercials. It's a little weird.Our resident Imperial Guard around these parts is a really cool guy. I think he may have made some of his costume parts himself (I made all of mine except for the boots, belt, lightsaber, and other accessories), but even then, you have to buy a lot of expensive materials. Rebel/501st Legion members are often very supportive of newbies who want to get into making their own stuff. I am doing my best to avoid any and all spoilers if I can. 3 more days for me!

She has a scary smile. When I saw the scene in theaters where she bypasses the compressor on the Falcon and smiles at Han, I legit thought he walked away because he was creeped out.

Milky Moor posted:I think Telltale peaked with TWD Season 1 which was truly incredible. yeah pretty much. the issue is, after season one, you can see the "invisible choice walls, really loving easily. the GOT one is the worst at that people because one of the main antagonists is Ramsay Bolton and it takes place between season 3 and through 4.

What works for you may not necessarily work for someone else. That being said, a woman doesn't have to be attractive in the conventional sense to be great in a role. Imperator Furiosa for example.
