Me too, if it plays like Bloodlines but with a new campaign then I'll be happy.

Nope.

I'm playing Dead State: Reanimated. I'm on day 17, I've heard that it lasts until around day 100 but no spoilers please I have no idea what the ending is. I've enjoyed it so far, I like the writing and the shelter development and want to see how the story progresses. That said, I'm also bored now and want to stop playing. I hate scavenging, it's just too grindy and I think the car may be unobtainable (How can a major upgrade be marked as broken at this point???). It's Wasteland 2 all over again, I really want to like it but I just can't force myself to go on.

The title would suggest otherwise

Yeah it seems almost certain this is the case. Hurlshot, Nothing about the animus makes sense. It's meant to artificially create muscle memory (as well as skills, knowledge ect.) by reliving your ninja grampa's life experiences although I'm pretty sure your body would need time to adjust to that **** without causing injury, which would become serious injury because the animus is forcing you to carry on performing all these extreme acrobatic yoga moves. It doesn't matter because it's a film, suspension of disbelief and all that, I'm just saying that the Avatar chair is just as easy for audiences to accept and a heck of a lot cheaper to implement. It seems like a waste of time and money, money they could be using to buy more hay with. Gunna need a lot of it for that leap of faith to look even half-way plausible.

But at what cost?

I'm going to make a totally indefensible snap-judgment but I think that any movie that starts with a deathrow convict being abducted for science is off to a terrible start. It's a lazy plot device and it shows a lack of imagination from the creators. Why is the animus some big contraption? They could have just kept it a chair and saved a ****load of money for the bits of the film that are interesting. And why oh why do they have the character making a leap of faith? That's one of the most ridiculous things in the series, he'd better not be landing into a wheelbarrow of hay. The whole thing feels off to me, I predict it's going to be rubbish.

Is that Guybrush Threepwood? If not then an obvious homage to him.

The world is a worse place for this existing.

Wasn't that the position of the people who re-elected Bush though?

Why are you still reading this thread? Go get the books! Shoo! Go Bruce, go!

I was only paying attention to the cards thing, but to answer your question; No, that agenda is all about profit. Well mostly anyway, haven't TV and movie networks deliberately tried to promote LGB characters, women and racial minorities every once in a while in which case focus groups were probably used to see what was well received and what was a misfire. Or I could be totally wrong with that line of thinking?

I sort of do to be honest with you. The cards were deliberately pornographic and sleazy whereas the scenes, at least in Witcher 2 were more 'tasteful' and done like a tv show or movie, IMO at least. The scene with the Lavallete mom being tortured was changed due to a social challenge by reviewers, something about her being too sexualized whereas in the final game she at least covered her brests with her arms. It's all a bit silly but I believe it's a factor in play. But don't get me wrong, another big reason to get rid of the cards were that they were stupid above all else, I just don't think it was the only reason. I think CDRed have figured out that you can still use all these socially unacceptable taboos in storytelling if you do it correctly and if you manage that you'll draw a big audience, I think that's what they've done with the Witcher series. Which isn't to say they are a one-trick pony at all but they've pushed the boundaries more than any other developer I can think of atm and some of it has been trial-and-error.

And even if it wasn't an ARPG it's a Warhammer game so...

Will there be Squats?

Well it's taken long enough. I hope it's more like the second than the first although I loved both games.

On the plus side at least we're getting the authentic Games Workshop tabletop experience

Boo! Bretonians but no Wood Elves? Can they even do that?

How does Banner Saga 2 handle choices you made in the previous game? Do you need to have kept your save file or be relegated to a pre-determined world state? Are the choices at all meaningful or entirely superficial?

Heck I have a fence around my whole 26 acre property and a well armed man of questionable sanity guarding it. So that's why Woldan hasn't been posting lately.

Isn't there some sort of irony in making a day celebrating workers a public holiday? You know what I'd have called it? Slackers day. Now get back to work!
