    This tracks with my thoughts prior to release, it isn’t HBO Max that will hurt the film, it’s that basically nobody wanted this thing and Warners would have only squeezed another 5-10 million out of it with an exclusive theatrical run. Thinking about the marketing of the film, I don’t even think Warners wanted to bother with the film 😂


    Yeah I was gonna say. Compared to the marketing of the first two sequels, this was almost non existent. I don’t remember a single TV ad and certainly no food/beverage tie ins that I can think of.

    The city level was amazing to walk through, I wish we had more open city type areas with side quests and stuff. I’d like a little of that in the next one.

     
    no no no no no no no. Not every game needs to be open and have side quests. Enough of that bullshit. They already try to shoehorn that into most games. Leave the beautifully constructed linear games alone. NO MORE FUCKING SIDE QUESTS

    Which seems to be the case with the 4th movie as well. It just so happens Keanu wouldn't want to do it without the Wachowskis, the studio probably figured the movie wouldn't do as well without Keanu and it just so happened Lana had a story to tell eventually, so she came up with a movie that she wanted to make. (But not necessarily one audiences would gel with.)


    Id imagine a Matrix movie with Keanu would have been as good an idea as a MiB movie without Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. 

    And I’d also be hard pressed to put Reloaded in any kind of failure category. It wasn’t as revolutionary as the first one but it’s still a really solid and fun movie with some of the best action/scenes in the entire series. Not to mention it’s the highest grossing movie in the trilogy by a massive amount. Revolutions(which i personally don’t hate) was def a bit of a failure though.

    Yeah, but that's just a visual novel. There are a million devs that make visual novels with branching stories and multitudes of endings based on your actions. QD just makes really pretty visual novels with a heaping side of sexual harassment. I mean, Chunsoft has been making visual novels since the 80s, complete with that cool timeline thing. The biggest difference here is that they aren't pretending AI The Somnium Files is high art. Side note, AI The Somnium Files is actually fairly brilliant and on Game Pass. Also, their Zero Escape series has some of the craziest fourth wall breaking craziness ever put on screen. It's a serious shame it takes the pretty graphics QD pushed out to make people pay attention to the genre. That's seriously the only reason QD's claims get taken seriously by the IRS and gamers alike. It's all in the pretty coat of paint. If their games were exactly the same, but looked like anime instead of the going for realism, nobody would being paying them nearly as much attention.


    cool

     

    So anyway, I still really like the Detroit game they made.

  5. Yeah I loved RE4 but it didn’t age well. The beginning few hours are legit fantastic but then it slowly descends into RE research lab genericness. RE8 stay a lot truer to theme and as a result a lot more fun throughout. Also there is legit not one thing scary in RE4. Village at least has that one whole sequence. And whoever thought of that sequence needs help 😂

    Spoiler

    My wife was so upset and said “no more Roach?” I told no, he’ll just name his next horse Roach as well. It took her a second for that to fully settle in and she got even pregnant upset 😂 the fact that Geralt is like 200 years old or whatever and what that means in regards to his horse never dawned on her 😂

  7. Just finished it. Great ending that sets things up beautifully going forward. Only negative I have to say is that any scene without either Yen, Geralt or Ciri was def a drop. And Jasper I thought was too modern if that makes sense? Like I get they use modern profanity which is fine but I felt like most of Jaspers jokes didn’t have any kind of medieval twinge to them. That’s probably just a me thing though haha. 
     

    So Blood Origins is about the time right after the conjunction?

  8. If you’re at the part where you just have to survive, the best bet is to save all your shotgun ammo then get onto the one roof you can access and try to stay up there. The shotgun is strong enough to knock most enemies off. Also look for the red barrels to take out some other enemies. For this part don’t be afraid to look up a YouTube video or two to see exactly how others have done it and you’ll be able to gauge how long you need to last.
