Nah, one of the main reasons I personally even like the franchise is relative lack of plot armor. And for me fifth season and book were no less enjoyable than first ones. And no, I'm fine with villains being relatively fine and well. You know, they are as necessary to the story as protagonists.

A joke about current generation AMD GPU's should have been about space heaters. 280X beats GTX 960 really hard for the price, but one of those things will raise your room temperature after an hour of gaming.

Modern games need more moral choices with consequences that aren't "be good" or "be evil", both from perspective of having choices where there's no right answer and from perspective of choices being made through gameplay as opposed to pressing menu buttons.

So now that pre-release is out I can definitely say that the game is not worth buying at the moment. It still lacks a great number of features that it needs to be an interesting game.

Demos are not being released because publishers know that they set expectations too high and not deliver them. People actually trying games before buying them would actually decrease the sales.

I generally prefer subtitles because for me they take no effort to read, while in many cases understanding speech requires conscious effort. English is my second language though. I would never need subtitles for my native language (Russian), but that's mostly because of phonetics of Russian...

I don't play any MMOs simply because everything in them is of poor quality compared to singleplayer and non-massive multiplayer games, especially gameplay.

Am I the only one who doesn't like turn-based games because combat is waaay to slow because of all those unskippable animations?

There are many websites that buy physical disks and sell CD-keys from then online (to activate them on Steam/Origin). Getting new games this way is around 30% cheaper. Yes, this is indeed backwards and wasteful.

Right now I'm waiting for gamma because there's no point in playing before the wipe. The game has a lot of potential but in the current state it's not going to fly. Flight model and combat are really good, game looks and sounds awesome, but pretty much all activities other than combat are...

None of the above. The worst thing about gaming industry is AAA publishers that are too afraid of doing anything new. Most of new games are almost exactly the same as old ones in terms of gameplay and narrative. New ideas are few and far between. For example, Shadow of Mordor's nemesis system...

And how does an anime title made completely by Japanese prove your point?

I don't care about public opinion on tastes, it's just that I can't imagine what was going on inside your head while you were watching it so that it made inside your top list. Surprisingly, almost all of my favorites [http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Dissentient&show=0&order=4] are in top 100.

I see what you did there.

Greentext isn't a sin unlike discussing tastes in anime-related discussion on non anime-related site. You are not trying hard enough.
