goddamn many hours were wasted with that hoth set with the ion cannon and speeder like I played the gently caress outta that thing. I took it in the loving tub with me and I would get the water cold in the tub to pretend to be on hoth n poo poo with all the rebels all the decals eventually wore the gently caress off and I was left with some weird white plastic molds that looked kinda like they belonged somewhere in the kitchen with my moms other baking materials

TLJ was a trainwreck with a few good moments in it, but it could've been even worse given they're very obviously aiming milk the money out of the main movie franchise with the fast 1 year turnaround between them and have to resort to whatever pandering they feel is most topical atm. Then again, it's J.J. Abrams so,...my expectations weren't high to begin with given his past track record. Now Solo: A Starwars Story...that was a drat good movie. Solidly written story respective of what's been established, a lot of really cool new actors I got exposed to (plus good ole Woody) and I genuinely enjoyed Emilia Clarke doing really well as something other than the Mother of Dlagons.

TheAgent posted:also TLJ had a ton of freakin problems, the script was all over the place and there was some good opportunities that were completely wasted So in case you've not seen it: 1. Leia dies instead of going all Marry Poppins y'all. If that's how she had to go out given the circumstances in real life, so be it. Not glorious, but could have accepted it as war sucks and poo poo happens. The fact it was Kylo's wingmen that killed her could have been used later as motivation as to why he turns against Snoke/smoke/whatever. 2. Skip the whole save the nerfherders or whatever sequence. Del Toro's character was interesting as at this point there are people who have seen the fall of the Republic, Rise and Fall of the Empire, and the same with the New Republic & First Order...most average people are probably: "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" and don't care anymore. Which is why the Resistance/Rebels/whatever call for help and it goes unanswered... 3. Admiral purple hair takes Poe aside and tells him her plan to go to crait or crate or krait or whatever. 4. Finn dies ramming the laser gun and saves his friends. Character's arc completes: goes from guy who runs away to one who stands, fights, and dies for a cause. 5. The politics of TFA & TLJ make no sense. At least in the original trilogy there was some world building. Just the few lines where Tarkin tells his officers the senate has been disbanded and control handed over to governors made it feel more like there was an Empire with a massive bureaucracy behind it. I had no idea on what the gently caress had happened in the 30 years between in the story between the battle of endor and the start of TFA. Not to say there aren't other issues with the movie. But a few minor changes would have made for a much better movie...

TheAgent posted:I'm pretty sure dandelion and geralt hosed all the goddamn time A generous sprinkling of homoerotic bromance hasn't prevented Witcher 3 from being considered a grade-A, SJW-free, article of gaming, enjoyed in gaming parlors across the world. On a more serious note, the anti-SJW crowd range from misogynistic, fascist, basement-dwelling incels to decent rational, liberal people, who are just sick and tired of identity politics, and hackjobs using dumb politics to excuse their lack of talent. I don't think being "anti-SJW" is necessarily proof that one is a stupid troglodyte, but I will concede that the louder and frothing the tone of ranting, the more likely it is that the ranter is on the basement-dwelling side of at least one spectrum (tm).

"Take your time to make this right" Let's see. "Take your time" does it mean set random deadlines you are going to fail, after putting your developers through crunch time repeatedly? Does it mean you don't have to seriously explain why not only you missed the extended deadline estimation for release but three years later you are still in pre-alpha? "make this right". Does this mean focus on detailed models and graphics and then consider performance, networking issues and gameplay loops? Does this mean work without a game design document? Does it mean make your first Gantt char that looks like spaghetti puke during your sixth year in development? Cymelion, you and fools like you are the reason I hope this shitshow releases something and doesn't die out. I hope you stick with it to the end because it will be glorious to watch all you gollums trying to make sense of the turd that the final game is shaping up to be.

Honestly, it felt like that whole setting and sequence was such a throw-away. It has such neat visual potential, with reds and whites and grays. But the failed lemming rush kinda fell flat as narrative.

My biggest problem with Star Wars nerds is that there are now 13 movies (I include Clone Wars, The Battle for Endor, and Ewok adventure because gently caress you) and only 2 of them are anything special. Why should I care about any of this? The exception is people who told Carrie Fisher she was the first person they masturbated to. Because you KNOW they were the ones who lost their poo poo over the (awesome) battle granny in the Disney movies. And I enjoy laughing at horrible people. Bringing this back to Star Citizen though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6tINlNluuY

You can't do that if you are trying to build a triology of movies that's supposed to flow and work together. If he was directing a one off movie like Rogue One fine. The sad part is there's only about 4 changes that needed to be made and the movie would have worked. Sadly, the reality of movies is that they will make money nonetheless, no need for good scripts/stories. Disney will drive this franchise into the ground while squeezing every last dollar out of kids/manchilds/hardcorefans
