The literal rest of my life will be spent trying to fuck over America and Americans.

As an American, I’d just like to say we absolutely deserve this.

It certainly performed better than Concord.

Ok, but what didn’t perform better than Concord? I don’t know if that’s a legit metric to use.

I would agree with that, but I’d also be surprised if Prey was a financial gem for the executives.

If the WiiU had been named the Wii2, this argument would hold a lot more water.

It was the U that threw people off. A 2 is generally understood as a sequel thing.

“Within the next two years, it will be completely normalized to have a relationship with an A.I.,” Ms. Cole predicted.

We haven’t managed to really normalize anything outside of cis-hetero relationships yet and you’re telling me we’re gonna normalize relationships with a.i. in two years? Sure.

Daredevil wasn’t in Echo, but Kingpin was. Kingpin also showed up in Hawkeye, but less than in Echo. Obviously can’t say for certain as I haven’t seen this new season of Daredevil, but I doubt either of those shows would be what I considered “required” viewing going into this one.

Coming up on 2 years with nothing memorable.

This implies Baldur’s Gate 3 (8/3/23) was not memorable, and I take issue with that.

Last of us part 2 is a great story as well. It gets a lot of hate online, but a LOT of that hate is cuz the game not only has lesbian characters, but it also has a trans character, and a woman with muscles character. And that’s just way too much woke apparently.

The Boys, Fallout, Invincible, Good Omens. These were all good shows, though the Boys is kinda wearing thin and I’m glad it’s ending next season.

Haven’t seen em, but Jack Ryan, Reacher, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Marvelous Ms. Maisel…all these seem to have done extremely well and been popular.

Sure they have their absolute disasters like the Rings of Power too, but it’s not like they’re on the same level of quality as like the freevee’s and roku original shows.

Yes, 2 had a lot of re-used locations. Some of them did make sense, as the story was almost entirely set within a single city, so certain locations are bound to pop up multiple times, especially as the game takes place over a decade or so.

But the real reason, 2 was developed and rushed out the door in like a year or something? It was a ridiculously short amount of time to develop a sequel to a game as big as DA:O. Unsurprisingly, this led to a LOT of re used assets and locations.

But though it obviously had failings, I, like some others, would probably put DA2 as the high point for the series telling really character driven stories with the most compelling cast of characters.

Honestly, fair criticism, as it is still a $60 game and in my old timer’s brain that means everything should be unlockable through gameplay. Unfortunately, that’s just not how the market seems to work anymore, so I’ll just be glad their extra monetization is only limited to cosmetics and not gameplay stuff as well.

On the upshot, that season pass and the DLC stuff is all cosmetic only. All gameplay additions will be free for all.

Yes, it’s called the Apprentice, will come out a bit before the election (was at some film festivals awhile ago, but couldn’t find a US distributor for a bit, but recently did) and by all accounts doesn’t make him look good. His lawyers were trying to block it’s US release for awhile, so I can’t imagine it’s a trump positive biopic.

I mean, it kinda is
