    The writing clearly suffered from the "more = better" crap that was going on back then. I still blame Planescape: Torment for this. We all thought that more text = better rpg, because of a single miracle case of a game that came out like 20 years ago. Oh boy how wrong we were. Turns out it's really not the amount of text, but the quality of text that matters. Lots of the stuff in PoE1 could have been cut out and nothing of value would have been lost. Stuff like reading the "souls" or whatever that was didn't help it either..

    Jeez, PoE2 became profitable in 2020 -- 2 years after release. I knew it was running bad, but didn't expect this bad. Personally I feel like it's because the majority of players were tired of the top-down-classic-rpg-esque stuff? Like, PoE1 relied heavily on nostalgia still, which then everyone got their fair share fulfilled with. Also we got the new Torment game, which also kinda ran into the same direction. So at the end of the day, I really think the majority of generic players just were tired of it or thought it's going to be just more of the same. Then again, if I remember right, they decided later to do full voice acting for PoE2, which sure as **** was not cheap. So this probably also blew up the budget crazy high and then caused unrealistic expectations?

    I mean, they did show mars' effects in season 5 more extensively. There was Bobby's arc, and Alex seeing it as well. I don't think it was necessary to go over it again in season 6. We got earth in the beginning of s6 now, which was lacking a lot in s5 (Amos' arc was supposed to show that, but imo it didn't really work well). My problem with the "tricking" at the end of s6 is that this was a *huge* gamble... just to even get into that position. It made for a better show, but the "realism" went a bit stray there, I'd say. However, I still think it's good the way it is. Probably going to binge-watch s6 again this weekend, now that it is completed.

    I kinda like the art style, which is why I started watching it for a few minutes, then I kinda got into it. Now if just it wouldn't all be so damn stupid and cringe. Also the japanese obsession with super sized boobs is kinda bleh.
  5. Lexx
    Oh, I watched that as well, the first two episodes at least.

    I randomly stumbled over "How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?" and it's just lol. Of all the things JoJo did, it really got me into this Gym Gods stuff.

    Finally watched the final episode of The Expanse. I had pushed it away quite a few times and was still hesitant to start watching it, because I didn't want it to stop. Was a great episode. Whole s6 is fantastic, imo. In general this is one of the rare shows that are good from beginning to the very end. Seriously, there is nothing I really have to complain about. S5 had some slow meh moments with all the Naomi stuff, and s6 could really use 3 more episodes, but all in all it's just great. Now let's hope we will get more Expanse. Maybe not next year, but maybe the year after ... or after that ... please.

    Damn, the latest season of Archer is probably the best in years. Some real fun episodes, with nice character progressions.

    This is beyond funny now. Actually this is kinda funny ... since the announcement of the game, lots of cool sci-fi stuff came out, which now made me really hate the "space ships are ships in space" trope. I'd rather have more realistic space ship designs, with less windows and stuff like that. In a way, space ships should be more like submarines, and Star Citizen doesn't have that at all. So tl;dr - I'm kinda not even motivated anymore to actually play the game due to the super unrealistic ship designs.

    I swear to god, with every new chapter of One Piece, the "plot" gets bigger.

    Turkish Rambo is better then every Rambo movie after that. Especially Rambo 5 triggered the hell out of me.
  12. Lexx
    Jeez, did you research all that right now or do you just copy&paste
  13. Lexx
    Well, that was more a rhetoric question. I always find it funny when americans have to americanize movies for their market.
  14. Lexx
    Why do they need to make a remake of that

    I am at 558 now, but I've started at 450+ or so, basically what I remembered from when I stopped watching this in tv 10 years ago. Most of the episodes are only 15 mins if you skip intro + recap, so you're burning through episodes quite fast

    I'm watching One Piece for the plot. The plot: Funny enough, that's exactly the episode where I am right now.

    I totally forgot about Pig. Watched it yesterday finally and now I understand what people mean with "anti-John Wick" .. Was never able to imagine what the hell that is supposed to mean. Now I'm happy that I avoided all and every spoilers about this movie.

    Watched Venom 2 yesterday, but I was so tired I fell asleep in the middle. So I went back to it today and watched it again. Good movie, especially because it is more "small scale" and doesn't deal with the usual world destruction stuff. Still, while watching I was thinking they should make a tv show about a construction crew in the Marvel universe, who constantly have to deal with all the destruction in the city.

    The only zombie game you need is Project Zomboid. Well, and maybe the original Resident Evil 1 (and remake).

    The martians are still thinking of themselves as superior and Marco just being a nuisance. They constantly highly underestimate him and pay the price for that. Personally I already now think this season needs 2 more episodes. Even though it feels well made, everything is going so fast. Blink and you miss it. Really wish e6 would be 2 hours long at least, but that ain't gonna happen... Who knows, maybe once the final aired, they are going to announce a new show in the setting? In any case, next weekend I'm going to binge through the full season again in one go.

    To be honest, I just checked out the trailer and I'm not really motivated to watch it either.

    Finished The Witcher s2. Had some mhm moments for me, but all in all I think it's good. Just this time... I could not remember a single scene from the books. Then again, I can't even remember much from the books either. Always loved the short stories, because they were about Geralt, while the big books were all about politics and whatever, and I just didn't really care. In fact, now I remember that I had to force myself a lot through most of it, so maybe that's why I barely remember anything about it outside of the Falka-stuff.

    I'm guessing most people wouldn't tell you if they do that, because they know you'd call them out on it. Also, children. I can see it on my nephews who are playing these stupid flashy mobile games and they want skins and whatnot. We look at it and see how bs it is, but they don't know better. And it's hard to teach them if all their classmates are doing this crap.

    I am in Episode 5 now and it is very captivating. Need to take a break, but I really want to watch the next episode... It's a good sign, I guess.

    Not *all* content, but the content up to that point of the game. Which means Vault 15, Shady Sands, Junktown, and important bits of The Hub. Hell, you even learn about these locations in that order, and the NPCs will always send you to the next town in line.
