You know, where it comes to a point in the front instead of being flat? The pointier version is a more traditionally aggressive shape, rather than the older "that's scary cause it's fuckin weird" shape.

Like, I'm not convinced this horse is faster than running. What the gently caress is the point of this? Edit: the best part is the speed/wind effect coming off you as you gallop at a whopping 5 miles per hour. It is faster than walking. By one mile per hour.

Real hurthling! posted:the horse is pointless in DAI. you get no speed boost and can't gather mats while on it. I'm glad I'm not crazy. I just got it and I was doing the "races" they give you and I was like... how did they decide to leave this in the game? Like, actual speed increase be damned, if it doesn't feel like you're going fast, what's the point. I'm enjoying the game, but overall it feels like a game that would be really good in a world where Witcher 3 didn't exist.

Watch_Dogs 1 was pure garbage. I have no expectations for W_D2. But on the off chance it's magically the Asscreed game we've been waiting for, that would be cool. It has a new parkour system that W_D1 didn't have...

And honestly, it could have been fun, if it didn't commit the single biggest sin that an open-world urban game can: have complete poo poo driving. There's loads of things wrong with the game, but the driving actively sucking and making me hate having to go anywhere in the game kind of trumps any misguided fun I could have with the rest of the game.

corn in the bible posted:tom clancy is 100% a mascot. dude didnt even write novels for like a decade before he died but they came out anyway he's a brand, but his image isn't used. I feel like "mascot" always denotes an image or visual representation. I 100% agree that his name is used just to sell things, but I don't think it's the same thing as a mascot. I could be wrong, that's just what I meant when I said that. "The Colonel" has "his face" plastered all over everything KFC related.

Real hurthling! posted:what if each part has 40 hours of gameplay The Witcher 3 was $60, one of the largest RPGs ever made, fully voice acted. FFXV is probably going to be bigger than W3, and it's only $60. W3 has way more than 40 hours of gameplay, and I'm assuming the FFXV will. More importantly, the original FFVII only had about 40-50 hours of gameplay, so what the gently caress are they adding to stretch it over multiple games? Bloating a game up and splitting into multiple games doesn't make it worth paying more for. edit: Pricing aside, in general, I don't expect my FFVII nostalgia to be a persistant thing. If it was gonna be one game that I could buy and play and beat, I would probably get it for full price for the trip down memory lane. If I can only start it, and then have to get more as it comes out, I don't care enough.

You're right, I didn't watch a recent trailer. There was an IGN article in april that said FFVII would be "multiple full games" and that they were using FFXIII as their template for how it would be released. That's literally the last time I gave a poo poo about it. I didn't even know there were gameplay trailers out.

Yeah, it's also complicated, because the story of Doctor Strange going to Tibet and learning magic isn't like it's being respectful of actual Tibetan culture. So moreso than in most cases, this one is kind of blurry, since fetishism of vague eastern philosophy is probably better than misrepresenting actual culture. It just would have been a great opportunity to make a statement. Like right now China is bulldozing Larung Gar, the largest monastic community of Tibetan Buddhist. The exact sort of thing that heroes like the Avengers would be against if they were real. Super heroes are supposed to be about sticking up for the defenseless, and I just think its sad that films about heroes can't bring attention to real injustices happening in the world even as they draw inspiration from its victims. Doctor Strange being pro-Tibet would have been super cool.

CJacobs posted:I would imagine most people don't watch movies to be prodded at about how bad the real world they live in is for N reasons. That's the thing, they wouldn't have to actually bring it up at all. All the movie needs to do to be pro-Tibet is acknowledge that Tibet exists. Tibet does not exist, according to China. China claims it's just part of China. So if you want to release a movie in China, you just don't mention Tibet.
