Behind the scenesEdit The Gungans first appeared in the 1999 film Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, the first installment of the Star Wars prequel trilogy.[4] Originally, the Gungans were meant to be wiped out along with Otoh Gunga prior to the Battle of Naboo, and therefore, they didn't participate in the battle, as seen in early storyboards of the film. As genocide was judged to be too dark for the film, thus, the story was adjusted.[22]

It's pretty nice how the entire internet has decided that got season 8 is terrible. Yknow, remembering that making fun of a fictional program is something allowed to do that doesn't determine your entire being, unlike some sacred brands where trying to mention how lovely it's gotten gets you called things like "so mean-spirited" or "cryptofash" or "your a Russian agent, I'm calling the FBI!"

uh season 8 is likely terrible because the conclusion to the series was always destined to be terrible disclaimer: i don't watch the show, but i did read the books the reason his books took off in the first place was because they're an anti-narrative. they intentionally turn the opposite direction from most narratives at every major opportunity, leading to a fresh, surprising, and wild ride. but the problem is making all those twists just for twists' sake and scrambling things up as crazy as possible makes it incredibly challenging to have a satisfying, meaningful conclusion because the story's direction is already arbitrarily taken in random directions basically what i'm saying is, the whole point of the series is events like the conclusion to book 1, the red wedding, and the conclusion to book 5. those shocking, unanticipated twists are what asoiaf is all about. i remember finishing book 5 and one of my first thoughts was "there's no loving way this dude is going to meaningfully conclude all of this bullshit in 2 books unless he just starts genociding characters and story lines with unrepentant fervor." and it could only be in a way that was tremendously unsatisfying and uninteresting because to conclude the series he would have to finally go against his method of turning away from traditional methods of storytelling and lean heavily into played-out, stereotypical conclusion tropes. its just something the style of the series could never do successfully. anyway, i hope that's all coming true cuz i ain't watching that garbo show RaySmuckles fucked around with this message at 16:49 on May 13, 2019 |

Honestly, Game of Thrones fever reminds me of Lost. People got so hyped on the show that it's impossible to reach an end that will satisfy. It's also made worse because they had a plan to follow in the beginning, but now that they've run out of GRRM books to follow, they're bullshitting their way to the end. Just like with Lost. And Star Wars. Lol

I recently replayed 1 and 2 and it made me kind of sad. 2 isn’t a bad game but I felt, then and even more so now, that it was running off 1’s fumes. 1 has enormous problems as a game and feels like it needed another year of work, but it has a brilliant scope and energy to it that makes me put up with and even revel in its shittiness. In comparison 2 is like the most finely polished turd of all time, all the character of the first game has been streamlined away and replaced with something far less frustrating but also far less interesting. After I ran through it a couple times I never felt any urge to buy or play 3 and I probably never will.

After I ran through it a couple times I never felt any urge to buy or play 3 and I probably never will. i think the gameplay in 2 on the highest difficulty setting (insanity) is just about perfect with an xbox 360 controller. its pretty tactical and you pretty much have to use your whole squad and array of powers correctly to survive encounters. the game had great immersive features too like robots getting shot apart, shooting different parts of the body and different ammo types all having modeled reactions, different powers logically working better against certain defenses, different enemy types with different strengths/weaknesses, variety in merc enemy types based on defenses, races, offensive tactics, and specialist units, etc. it made combat really thrilling and higher difficulties made the fights last long enough to take it all in. the writing is very...tv quality let's say, but that works for the episodic nature of the game. the characters are generally pretty archetypical, yes, but i found them to be mostly tremendously like-able. for me it was cheesy with a heart of gold and serious enough when it wanted to be which in combination with the promise of branching consequences made the game endlessly replayable for me. once again, the best description i can think of for that game is "episodic tv show" Glenn Quebec posted:3 is really bad. You think it's going to be a badass defense of the earth but, no, you have to gather your allies .... Again... i actually hated the whole "earth premise" in the first place. you never go to earth in the previous games; it's a total afterthought which is almost the point of the genre. we have no connection to it. most of my characters weren't even from there. so it struck me as hollow and lame that it became the main focus for 3. it really felt like a marketing decision aimed at new players instead of a logical progression of the story. they needed a hook to make the conclusion accessible so they went with something even new players would be familiar with: earth. then of course you spend hours, days, weeks, months going all over the galaxy while earth is being torn to shreds which just made the pacing feel so strange. that was one of the nicest things about the previous two games: the pacing. you were out adventuring and could take your time (mostly) doing whatever you wanted and that fit the nature of the game. 3 just always felt stupid and wrong to me.

The idea that the weapon you're building is, like, an iterative last gasp of countless prior cycles is pretty sweet as well and it just becomes another control method thanks to StarBrat there.

Agreed on all points though, rolling over a geth tank and parking the mako on it's ragdolling body then jumping out like commandos was fun.

Lost had one good season, then one decent season, and then four seasons of slow dreadful decline but everyone stuck around just to see if there was going to be some kind of "explanation", which they finally sort of did and turned out to be a very obvious idea that the writers had already publicly denied repeatedly, like three seasons earlier. it wasnt just that the ending was bad it was kind of like we all knew the writers were digging themselves into a hole for four seasons and people kept watching just to see if they could get out of it. im not much of a GoT fan but it definitely sustained its quality for longer

I personally loved the fact that it went off the rails, that was a big draw for me. The crazier it got the more I liked it. I have the blu-ray set and it's gorgeous to watch, thinking about going through it again.
