He wrote a significant part of the script before he died. Personally I think he would have approved.

Good answer.

💯 so much garbage. The 2-3 hour fan made cut-down versions are good though.

Made me even more pissed that they left Tom Bombadil out of LotR.

I largely agree on the modern games thing. The problem isn't even technology for me. It's scale. Modern AAA gaming is made by such large teams, often multiple studios each with hundreds or thousands of people. With that many people, you just end up with generic crap, and the studios are investing so much money on any one game that generic crap is all they're willing to risk making.

Take that budget and spend it on 100 small games made by teams of ~100 people or so and we'd get some really interesting stuff. Sure, a lot would fail, but they can afford that. Let artists make art, not business-people.

I feel like dictionaries are over rated as a form, since they lead to nit-picky comments like this :P

Yeah I was a senior in high school and everyone was skipping class on opening day to see it. What a goddamn disappointment!

I remember sitting there thinking "holy crap! I'm going to see a Star Wars in the theatre"!¡!

It came out when I was a kid and I thought it was okay. Seeing the amount of toys that came out of the prequels, I don't think it was meant for anyone past the age of 15, lol.

Almost falls into the "so bad it's good" category for me.

Almost.

The ending part with the FPS was kinda ok they should have just made the whole movie FPS like hardcore Henry.

Wasn’t that the game that killed video games for six years? Or at least was pinned as such by reporters lol

I feel like I saw through the hype on that one. I like space games, but you can't make what they promised interesting without some incredible things that the game didn't have. It's just going to be nearly infinite boring generic planets. Without systems to make them unique then there's no reason to care about any of them.

I did follow it up to launch, and I pirated it when it launched because I wanted to see it. Yeah, it sucked. I tried it again a few years ago because they supposedly made it actually good, but I still don't get it. It's still got the issue where no planet is interesting because there are infinite like it. Yeah, you can build a base now, but I couldn't get into it. Some people seem to love it now though, so good for them.

Yes I fell for that game too. I was so hyped for it, I bought the soundtrack (which slapped actually) but yea it was bad.

Agreed it wasn’t even in the so bad it’s good category. It was just bad.

You can definitely still get that thrill of highly impactful combat, just not at any of the major meta events. The world at this point is so big that if you're anywhere that's not on the event timer you'll probably be roaming by yourself. If you find a small event chain and it's just you pushing it, it can be exciting and suspenseful. Knowing that if you get downed, all of your progress will reset, it's a great moment when someone else runs up and starts reviving you and helps you succeed.

There are also instanced scenarios like dungeons, fractals and raids where you and a team have to be strategic with your classes and builds and how they synergize, and then there's the added dimension of much more demanding movement and maneuvering than in the first game. I loved both games, they're different but both great in their own ways IMO. If you only ever played in some of the starting maps I highly recommend giving it another go.

I'd say, if you want to, just pirate the DLC and give it a try. It is better than the base game. With that said, if you played the base game after the DLC released and didn't like it, you probably just don't like the game, and that's fine. Personally, I think it's pretty good, but I also mod the hell out of it. There's a lot of smaller things I don't like about the game that mods can fix, like removing the hacking minigame and things like that.

(Tangent: why does every game thing they need a hacking/lockpicking minigame?! I'll be enjoying the game, then suddenly I have to spend a minute on some boring ass minigame that doesn't do anything except take you away from the gameplay. Why? The old-school method of your character just doing a skill check is great, and it doesn't waste our time. Can we go back to that?)

I enjoyed it, but I thought that I was going to get more Bethesda RPG and less Grand Theft Auto going in from all the comparisons I'd heard.

I also felt that while the production values were very high, they got limited gameplay out of the asset creation that they did. Like, for any given piece of city, Grand Theft Auto had a lot more time playing over it than did Cyberpunk 2077. There were huge chunks of meticulously-created map that I maybe saw once in the distance while driving past, if that.

The only good part of the game is the amazing original teaser trailer and the netflix show.

Man, that trailer. We thought we were going to get something with the depth of Disco Elysium and Witcher level worldbuilding, but instead got "future pew pew" fps railroading that barely worked.

While I disagree, yeah why would you buy an expansion when you didn't enjoy the first campaign. That's just sanity there.

I got my PS5 just before this came out and almost bought it, but before it was released, I remember seeing a lot of reviewers online saying they had to sign agreements that they would not fully disclose the state of the game and I knew at that point this wasn’t going to be good. The memes were thought.

I was mostly disappointed by the story, acting, and stiff characters. The environments? Top notch. The gameplay? Pretty solid, although the gunplay left some to be desired. The return of Mass Effect 1 style tooling around in the Mako? Everything I'd hoped for.

Too bad the game being so poorly received pretty much killed any forward momentum on similar games in that vein.

That movie is magical! ... just ... not exactly on purpose, nor too related to actual Mario.

You mean this one? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108255/

WHY HAVE THEY NOT MADE ONE GOOD GAME OF THRONES GAME???
