    Yes that is exactly what it is. Just like the first game! Except this time the world and characters don't suck as much, and that's most of what I needed. 

     

    The other thing I wanted was actual co-op, maybe mods. 


    Never played the first one. I didn’t notice the similarities with the archer but once I switched to Warrior. Ohhhhh this is Monster Hunter combat HELL YEAH haha. The one thing I wish it had(besides Baldurs Gate level writing) is for the option to control the Pawns in a similar fashion to FFVII Remake. I want control over combos damnit!

    I wanna start over lol. I feel I rushed through the first town or whatever it was called. 


    I started over as well. Besides wanting to change the size of my character and pawn. I hate feeling like I missed stuff cause I didn’t know what I was doing. Enjoying it much more now. Also the archer sucks.

    Man, my archer sucks. But I’m gonna ride it out knowing full well there’s better classes. Yep. Gonna die on that hill. :dab:


    I also have a shitty archer. I just unlocked Warrior though so migh just cave and switch. I’m destined to only have fun using melee classes in every game 😔

    It’s also interesting that IGN didn’t mention VRR on series X if it helped the feel of the game to smooth out those dips. Whether it felt like it did anything or you couldn’t tell at all. 
     

    But in their video it appears the PS5 looks better than the series X. Though maybe they have the same Tv Best does. 


    The Fextralife guy said he thought it looked and was running better on the PS5 as well. 
     

    Sony. Da. Best. 

  5. Fextralife, which has become my go to for RPGs, said the game really didn’t start to click till between 20/30 hours and that it wasn’t until the endgame that it really starts to shine. He did love the game btw. 
     

    Those are two pretty massive red flag deal breakers for me. 
     

    That being said, I’m off from work next week 👀

    only caught the last few minutes. WTF was up with Pacino just announcing the winner without listing the nominations? Also glad to hear Godzilla won. 


    They did that with best Song too. I think it’s because each film nominated was featured throughout the show(each song was performed) so that stood in for reading off 10 names. 
     

    It was weird how he just blurted it out though.

    That short paragraph I quoted shows that he really didn't "get"these characters beyond a surface, superficial way at all. He says a lot of other wrong stuff in the article which is an excerpt from an interview he did with Joe Rogan,  but yeah. I like Snyder, he seems like a decent guy but MAN.


    And yet he still managed to make the best Superman movie of all time 👀

    I know that Villeneuve doesn't believe in director's cuts, and I do understand since at this point he has almost full creative control of his films (and should forever). However, while I understand not releasing DCs of Part 1 and Part 2...I do think it would be very cool to release a DC of them combined, especially including some stuff we know was cut. If you no longer have to worry about pacing in the traditional sense, adding another 10-20 minutes wouldn't be a huge deal for a 5.5-hour movie. 


    Im not sure if we ever got any kind of confirmation of what scenes were shot and cut in the first one. Did he actually film the banquet and then cut it? But we know Tim Blake shot his scenes as Count Fenring. Would be a crime to never get to see that. 

  9. Just got back from seeing it a second time. This thing is such a

    masterpiece. Couple things that stood out that hit me harder on the second watch. Paul/Chani’s “theme”. God what a beautifully powerful piece of music that is. And thinking ahead to Dune Messiah, it really embodies their whole relationship so well. 
     

    Soeaking of Dune Messiah. 

    Spoiler

    The foreshadowing between Chani and the Princess in that final scene. The standout being the scene when everyone kneels except the two of them and you have the shot from behind Chani of Paul and the Princess standing next to each other. Cut to the Princess eyeing Chani and knowing what she’s up against there. So damn perfect. 


    And somehow the War Council is even better and more powerful the second time? I got watch that scene on a loop for hours. 
     

    Please for the love of god give us a single cut extended edition of these movies together. I’ll never ask for anything ever again.

    What could I possibly add to what has been said already other than I was utterly engrossed and captivated for its entirety! I've rarely experienced nearly three hours simply melt away like that in any form of entertainment medium! This film is truly one of the pinnacles of visual/auditory filmmaking for which only the movie theater experience can truly satisfy! :clap:

     

    While the film certainly ends relatively conclusively, there's little doubt that the stage is set for Part 3 (Dune Messiah) should the powers-that-be grant Denis his wish, especially with the foreshadowing of Paul's dark future.  Also,

     

    The film's (apparently) significant deviation from the book's ending involving Chani's relationship with Paul is something that I'm curious as to its resolution in Part 3.


    Funny you should mention that. 
     

    Spoiler

    Walking out I said to my wife that I didn’t remember Chani being so much of a moral compass for Paul nor did I remember him coming off so dark. You were absolutely rooting for his revenge in the book.
     

    Then yesterday I saw an interview with Denis where he said Herbert is in record as being disappointed with people’s initial reaction to Paul seeing him as a hero. He was definitely intended to be an anti-hero. Which he corrects with how Paul is portrayed in Dune Messiah. So Denis said with that prior knowledge he wanted to kinda fix that in the films. So he brings forward that relationship and their portrayals from Messiah to make it more clear in Dune.

     

    Honestly I think that choice works brilliantly.
