So Joe Schmo? No one remembers that fake reality show from 15-20 years ago?

I hope this season has at least a semi satisfying close to the current arc so I don’t have to feel bad about pretending it doesn’t exist after this season. Kinda like how Into the Borderlands wrapped up pretty much everything after two seasons then for some reason had a third season haha

AC5 should bring back Desmond and continue that story to a better ending and eventually lead to a full modern entry that brings the war of templars vs assassins out into the open and into the modern age to settle once and for all

This, 1000% this. For as much shit as people gave the modern story, that’s a big part of what I loved about 1-3(not really 3 though). The mystery and cliff hangers in each game was fantastic and I couldn’t wait to find out more. Then they ended it the way they did and never gave us the modern game they were CLEARLY building towards. 

Crap I think I forgot to submit last week. 
 

This week was tough. I think I got 5/6? Couple decent guesses and a couple hail Mary guesses.

I’m getting wrecked by Vhenard. Like my health just disappears.

Yeah she was tough, took me 5/6 tries. 

Im cautiously optimistic. I think Covid derailed S1 hard. The first 8(?) episodes were really solid. Great adaptation? Not really, but solid in the own world they were building. Then Covid delayed the final two episodes of the show, the actor playing Matt was fired and they CLEARLY had some kind of rewrite to get around him not being there. Those last two episodes felt so off compared so the first bunch completed before the Covid break. Sooooo with an uninterrupted S2 I’m hoping they can get it back on track. At the end of the day the more high budget fantasy we get the better haha

Uh... what? In my experience, the game only got easier and easier. You just get more hearts, more stamina, stronger weapons and more contraptions to lay waste to the enemies. They do scale up a bit like they did in BotW, but I had them at silver rank in my first few hours (which is their max rank) so I continued to get more powerful while they stayed silver.

By the way, if you don't know, the game works on a hidden experience point system. The more enemies you kill, the stronger enemies appear. Up to silver, like I said. This also levels up the random weapons they'll have and that you find. Since they also drop super strong fuse items (please tell me you're using fuse, you should never ever be fighting with unfused weapons after the first few hours) you quickly overpower them.

That or just build a fuckin' homing canon laser monstrosity that can go kill them all for you! Or use bomb arrows, or chuck bombs if you're out of arrows, make sure to level up your gear ASAP, etc.

 

Wooden boxes almost always contain arrows, and there are certain areas around the world that always have bundles of 5 or 10 just lying there, such as the balcony facing Lookout Landing in Hyrule Tower.

I didn’t know that about the secret exp system. How do you know when you hit different tiers?

Awesome. I gave it a 9/10 and really lived it myself. For some reason I got really lucky on the technical side of things because I litteraly had no issues like some others here have. Phenomenal game!

Same, I played on PS5, took around 32/33 hours and it never crashed or did anything weird once.

Jesus do I have an issue with the button layout. I'm still stumbling with running and jumping. Although I didn't bother looking to see if you can change the layout...

There’s an option in the settings that allows you to specifically swap the Jump button with the Sprint button. Funny enough that’s literally the only layout change you can make. 

If this works flawlessly I’m all over it.  But it’s gotta be completely lag free

Watched the first episode. It’s a lot of run. It really basically is True Lies except the daughter became a spy too. Fun way to spend an hour. Arnold still has that surprisingly good comedic timing.

Max Payne, Alan Wake and Control are all part of the same world mainly due to Alan Wake's ability to write things into reality, this was CLEARLY covered in Control you posers!

Don’t forget Quantum Break!

Btw 

Just finished it. Solid 9/10. The game never drags at any point but holy shit does it take off in the last two chapters. 
 

Like others have said, the opening was fantastic and then I really didn’t like the openness of Koboh. It felt overwhelming but not in a good way. Later in the game once you unlock all the traversal methods it feels fine to back and run around but I wish they had kept the opening areas a little tighter.

What makes this a Sony conference and not Microsoft is the fact that the games behind all those CG trailer will all actually get released 👀

Def tougher than last week. 

Dreamworks and Illumination have been making better and/or more entertaining movies than Pixar for years. 
 

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is better than anything Pixar has done in 15 years. 

Props for dreaming big on the idea. I have a friend who did it and they loved it. But yeah in hind sight, just make a Star Wars themed regular resort hotel. 

Yep, gimme all of that

A dude that is repeatedly outside a woman's work before the place opens when they have no established relationship outside one shared baklava is absolutely creep behavior. It'd be one thing if he was also there for breakfast or something, but he's not. The only reason it doesn't fully come off that way is that we're supposed to be rooting for Nate. 

 

I probably wouldn't be as hung up on this if the show did ANYTHING to show us why or how Nate is growing. We see it with Roy, we see it with Ted, we see it with Jamie, etc. Nate spent season 2 as a self loathing asshole who couldn't get the girl and now... he got the girl? So he's better? Again for a show that has handled more complicated stuff better than this, it's weird that we're spending so much time with a character and arc that's just so undercooked.

All of these words, in the order that you placed them, have formed an impressively bad opinion.  

Oh man I think I might have finally got 10/10 🤞🏻

It’s Cavhil or I’m not watching

Was my way obvious because I have no idea  

The hook on the platform seemed the most obvious to me haha.

How did you all solve the broken rail puzzle in the tutorial part? I 

  Hide contents

made it into a ski lift by attaching a hook onto a cart and using the side that was still intact, but I’ve read multiple ways people did it.

 

Im a pure void in the creativity department so I did solved it the obvious way

Yes! Loved the first season
