Fuck, those were already in season 4? I was going to comment earlier about taking issue with your claim that it all fell apart at season 4 (I would consider season 5 the definitive tipping point), but serves me right for not having watched the earlier seasons a second time. Looking back on it...

Fuck-a-luck-a-ding-dong, what hot garbage that was. Maybe it was due to the lack of battle scenes to showcase D&D's retardation or just good ol' Stockholm syndrome, but this episode was perhaps the best of the season. Which REALLY isn't saying much. Credit where credit is due, this is...

That image was apparently from an episode stills gallery, and not in the actual episode itself. At least many people on Reddit have claimed so. But when I think about it, that could actually have been a really cool storytelling detail if presented right. Maybe show things from Cersei's...

How she got her dragons in the first place? By burning a woman who made her infertile and turned her husband into a vegetable. Dany is no stranger to burnings, but innocents are hardly her cup of tea. Remember how she locked up all her three dragons due to them having burned one innocent child...

Goddammit. This was the best episode of the season. It also had some of the most retarded shit in the series. But there was actually quite a lot of good stuff. And also retardation. But also good. Is this what "ambivalence" means? I was legitimately enjoying the first half an hour, Varys'...

IT WAS SO FUCKING BAD OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! I dunno 'bout y'all, but to me this episode crossed the line from laughably stupid to cringeworthy stupid to just plain painfully and unforgivably awful. Not even 5 minutes in I was already cringing from the idiocy of the script. Yeah, of course you...

Even in one of the show's longest episodes that has the least amount of spoken dialogue in its history the episode still managed to be very very badly written. The writers literally can only think military tactics in terms of "run in a straight line at the enemy". The pre-battle strategies...

Yeah, like I expected, it wasn't that great. The show is but a shadow of its former self. All sense of logistics, scale, geography, grand strategy and even multilayered characters has been pretty much rooted out of the show in favor of hurrying the plot along, flanderizing the characters into...

I could be replying to specific people, but I'll just make a blanket statement here: You can shove all this elitist exclusionary bullshit up your asses. Sekiro does not need an easy mode. The only thing it needs is to scale down the damage. That's it. Then you wouldn't be three-shot by mook...

This game is a mixed bag. When it's in exploration mode it's phenomenal, creating a sense of danger and adventure I haven't felt since Dark Souls 1. Especially once I got out of Ashina castle the environments have been just breathtaking. The village was especially haunting. But then I get to...

Well, it did finally click for me, and I have to say the game is pretty fucking sweet once it does. Would have been even sweeter if the game didn't outright LIE about certain mechanics and as such force the player to either quit, go mad or watch a tips video. "Counter when an attack connects" my...

Same. This is the first time I'm starting to be genuinely put off by the difficulty in a fromsoft game. It's as fast as Bloodborne (maybe even faster), but without the plentiful healing items and ability to recover by hitting enemies. It has as few healing items at the start as Dark Souls 2...

Yes, yes, you've made it quite clear that you don't like Borderlands, in multiple threads. Now, are you going to keep parroting those same thoughts or actually contribute something to the discussion? OT: I don't think it necessarily looks boring, just unremarkable. I feel like it didn't...

Well, that's the thing: I don't necessarily think there even is much the series can do at this point. They've pretty much done every possible environment, every possible enemy type, every possible gun and escalated the gameplay to its absolute breaking point (Overpowered levels, the appeal of...

Amidst the trend of so-called "looter shooters", the one that arguably started it all is back. It's hard for me to even comprehend that it's been nearly 7 years since BL2. I was in the military back then, and a completely different person. Now we're in 2019, a full bachelor's degree, a...
