@Bladeerrader A lot of Marathon players are probably people who just couldn’t keep up with Destiny 2 at some point and just wanted a new Bungie game/something different. I know I would go back for a Destiny 3, and I’m gonna play final Destiny 2
@realestAG_ I’m curious if they’re going to further tweak the stuff that was touch screen on Wii U. They turned everything into a button press iirc but if they’re building from the ground up, might be better to get rid of them.
@PiggyKropotkinn It seems the main incentive NOT to do that is bc it’s boring. Which for a lot of gamers isn’t that big a deterrent, as grinding is normalized, but I don’t think I could play that mode for 3 hours straight.
@basedgizmo I feel like people forget it’s more a show about characters than *anything happening*, so when there’s three talky episodes in a row everyone is like “omggggg when is something going to happen???”
@BadFilmTakes1 There’s some unexplainable aspect of video game storytelling that can make me just shut down in cutscenes even when I really like the game, and thankfully I’m not having that issue here. They did a really good job of synthesizing story and game.
@UtterlyVapid I also feel like people are neglecting the fact that we keep finding out info about Nikki that appears to come out of nowhere… bc Bear didn’t know. It feels like a constant gut punch after seeing the “shell”, and feels way more impactful learning about who she really is.
@PiggyKropotkinn Biggest change they need to make that they didn’t directly address is the barter/upgrade system. Takes too long to get some later upgrades, and then you may not even engage with the barter system bc tracking what’s still needed for nodes is a little unclear.
Two things I rly want to know from Cannes:
1. Is Kojima in the Refn?
2. Are people lying or did Rami Malek finally give 2nd good performance? (First is Mr. Robot obvs)
@fedafter12am@abndesigns That episode is a filter, I remember people complaining soooo much about it at the time but how tf are you gonna hate an episode of tv with a cocaine baptism???
@BrndnStrssng I mean, I do think I put more value when you like something like Masters of the Universe than some other critics bc of your taste, but you aren’t like overly harsh or anything.
@rockmarooned Marvel has a genuine star with passion signed with them, and they just keep doing her disservices. A villain of the week show with Vellani is basically the ideal Disney+ project they could have done.
@bigmoviehouse@regularaugust Will say they did keep it the full week at the two theaters despite dropping VOD, and it did screen in other countries. It just feels like a really weird case bc A24 actually pushed the advertising then just made it disappear.
