  1. Duel of the Fates was also a fight that didn't overstay its welcome. Could you imagine if it were 45 minutes as well? Overkill. :-X

  3. Over time when I watched the movie, I'd watch all of Yoda Palpatine and then just hit a couple parts of the Anakin/Obi-Wan. The former doesn't overstay its welcome and is a lot of fun. The latter was great for me the first time, but it just keeps going and has nothing to say for most of its runtime. I remember learning so long ago that action scenes are when the plot usually stops, and the fight ended up being 45 minutes of waiting for Anakin to burn so he can go into the suit. A long fight may have worked if there was more character in it, like ESB's or TLJ's where it's not just the fight but what the characters are doing and saying and how they're reacting to each other. Luke cut his training short and was impatient, so Vader is easily outpacing him the entire time while Lando breaks free of his constraints and tries to regain the trust of the rest of the heroes. TLJ's ending had two movies of build-up between Luke and Kylo Ren, culminating with Kylo fighting a ghost of his past. And the editing was fucking grand for both. Like shit, typing that makes me excited about the climaxes and I'm not even watching them.
  4. 43 years ago today, Star Wars released in theaters and created a new universe of races, characters, factions, governments and thieves. If there's one thing I feel about the saga, it's that even if I don't think the movie is all that good, the climax is usually at least a ton of fun. In the best movies, the climax was damn perfect. So with that said, let's celebrate what we liked and what our favorite climax/es were in the series. I. The Phantom Menace -- Duel of the Fates/Attack on the Droid Control Ship/Battle of Naboo II. Attack of the Clones -- Battle of Geonosis/Obi-Wan and Anakin vs Dooku/Yoda vs Dooku/The Clone Wars Begin III. Revenge of the Sith -- Obi-Wan vs Anakin/Yoda vs Palpatine IV. A New Hope -- Attack on the Death Star V. The Empire Strikes Back -- Escape from Cloud City/Luke vs Darth Vader VI. Return of the Jedi -- Battle on Endor/Death Star II/Luke, Vader and the Emperor VII. The Force Awakens -- Attack on Starkiller Base/Finn and Rey vs Kylo Ren VIII. The Last Jedi -- Battle at Crait/Luke confronts Kylo Ren/Poe learns to be a leader IX. The Rise of Skywalker -- The Resistance vs The Final Order/Rey and Ben vs The Knights of Ren and Palpatine
  5. As someone who's not played Xenoblade but played FF12 (which at the time, and I guess still, is considered to be the first FF with more MMO-like combat), how similar/different is it to FF12?
  6. It's tiresome educating people on this. The vast majority of black congresspeople and black Americans in office are Democrats, the black Democrat who ran against DeSantis in 2018 was against requiring felons to pay fines, but herp derp mcslurp, I'm sure they were fucking themselves over the past 100 years amirite? Reminds me of this meme.
  7. Yes. No story spoilers here, just an explanation as to how you do the missions: In addition to that, some things are only accessible post-game.
  8. I got a raise recently and may actually get the Move controllers so I can do games like B&T (and Iron Man VR if it delivers).

  10. Funny enough, it's not doing that for me right now, but that's been the majority of my experience in the past few weeks as well. HOUR LATER EDIT: It's doing the slim shit again!
  11. Ann Coulter supports Jeff Sessions in the Alabama Senate race. Sessions sucks and is a racist, so that's not a surprise. That's why the great meltdown Coulter had over "disloyal actual retard" Trump supporting Sessions' opponent is so uplifting to the nation's spirits. All the time she spent writing this book.
  12. Even better is a huge "FF7 is my fav game" fan like Maximillian really loving the possibilities for future stories. FF7 was a big part of my video game childhood and is a game I've revisited many times. If I hear the original soundtrack, I want to return to the world. Getting away from

  14. Bingo. The little stuff doesn't matter. Game ran well and played well and was realllly pretty. Stuff like skyboxes, I just don't care and barely know how to identify them, nor do I care to.
  15. 70 hours later, I can't really agree with any of this. You do you.

  17. PS4 - June 9 Switch - June 11 XBO - June 12 https://blog.us.playstation.com/2020/05/22/meet-the-creator-of-project-warlock-a-tribute-to-fast-paced-90s-shooters/ "Hi, my name is Jakub Cisło and I started working on Project Warlock when I was still in high school. Today, four years later, I would like to invite you to take a look at the journey of how my passion project became a real game — from an idea seeded in my mind by my dad, to a fast-paced, gory shooter debuting on PS4 on June 9. Every FPS fan knows the joy of landing a well-placed shotgun shell in the guts of a demon frantically reaching its claws at you, or the excitement of finding a secret area full of gold and much-needed ammo. Project Warlock is all about recreating that feeling. The passion for annihilating pixelated monsters found its way into my head no doubt thanks to my dad — a true-school gamer through and through. When I was a kid, he showed me such cult-classics as Doom, Hexen, Blood or Heretic, and ever since then they couldn’t leave me alone. Those action-packed mazes filled with enemies and flying bullets sowed the seed that many years later would sprout into Project Warlock — a love letter to the golden age of fast-paced shooters. Inspiration With an unconditional love for pixelated mayhem seated deep in my heart, I started working on Project Warlock while still in high school. Back in 2016 the game was just shaping up, under the name Exitium 3D, which later turned into Cataclysm 3D, and much later given its final title. Working from scratch, with very little experience and 17 years old at the time, I had to learn almost everything as I went, picking up knowledge and tips on the way. Having in mind a well-defined idea of how these games should feel, I went through a long process of fine-tuning in the early stages of development, to recreate the gory and bloody action of my muses. Slowly, but surely, it was starting to resemble the shooters we all know like Duke Nukem 3D and Doom."
