    Cyberpunk 2077 Review thread - Umm....

    Was curious after watching the anime (its good by the way) so I went back to the game and its still crap. There is just no substance to any of it. Enemies offer no challenge. There are fun videos of people doing crazy clears(most feel quite rehearsed) but they just highlight how helpless enemies...

    I don't think the chimp scene was pointless outside of a literal plot progression sense. It real fleshes out the Jupe (Steven Yuen), and turns what could have been just bland horror fodder into a character with enough depth almost be a main character. His story would have made for an excellent...

    General Gaming News.

    Capcom blue balling Dragon's Dogma fans kinda sucked. If there is a sequel in the works it seems weird not to announce it during their presentation. Why bring it up at all? Hideaki Itsuno, the game director presented it and there is a Dragon's Dogma stream in a few days, so Im praying a sequel...

    General Gaming News.

    The Starfield Demo was embarrassing. Bethesda has arguably been making the same game since Oblivion just more dumbed down with each iteration. It looks exactly like fallout 4 but with shallow dog fights tacked on. Their work looks like the industry graphical standard six years ago. I seriously...

    Games that wasted a perfectly good premise/plot

    No with ODST, kind of with Reach. The ODST live action trailer is blatantly misleading. The game isn't a gritty war drama. You are not on battlefields half the game and instead are trapped behind enemy lines, looking for your squad and a way to get out. It has a pretty heavy noir atmosphere...

    Pretty big self report.

    The Shattered Elden Ring Thread: Tarnished Edition - (Shadow of the Erdtree p. 85)

    I have mixed feelings about the game. When its great its great but when its not it is constantly annoying me. It feels weird cause I consider myself a pretty big souls fan but Im not sure I like it. Im on the third main boss atm but he one shots me with most moves so Ive been grinding i guess...

    Can we discuss the problem of pretentious anime?

    That is a cop out. Ascendance is one of the better isekais but the story doesn't need her to be from our world. You could write a fairly similar story with a girl native to that world, its just that isekais are in vouge and its an easy way to get your story noticed. I will say I at least...

    Can we discuss the problem of pretentious anime?

    Pretentious? I find most anime these days likes to wallow in shlock. At least pretentious art can aim to say something. Most stuff produced today is wish fulfillment.

    Arcane - League of Legends

    Yeah, the series really starts to lose focus past the first act. The series starts to become too concerned with setting up stuff at the expense of the season's arc. It was like a marvel movie. The set ups just became more blatant and in your face with each act. I dread the day they introduce...

    The 2021 Game Awards thread.

    that is actually insulting to M. Night, at least he is a competent director.

    The 2021 Game Awards thread.

    You could argue that they have progressed visually but at the end of the day Quantic Dreams' projects are just Tell Tale Games with a budget and worse writers. Detroit: Become Human is still really stupid and tone deaf, which is the norm for that hack David Cage. Also, lets not forget the studio...

    Arcane - League of Legends

    netflix didn't produce this show, at least not directly. This was all Riot as far as I know.

    Arcane - League of Legends

    I left kind of disappointed with the series as a whole. Act 3 is easily the weakest batch of episodes and doesn't live up to the promise of the first act and I blame it entirely on the script. There are a bunch of things that annoy me and i don't feel like getting to fine detail as to why so I...

    Jinx is just a Harley Quinn/Tank Girl clone unfortunately. I think she was released when Harley was just starting to become more popular. She was what I was most worried about and it could have been a lot worse, she's been dialed back a lot. The lol random crazy girl trope does get a lot of...
