Just watched episode 3. As a straight man, even I started sweating when Geralt put that armor on. I mean how in the hell does Cahvil manage to make wearing armor look sexy. One man should not posses such power 😂

Well the current canon is trash so might as well let Hollywood do something better

You’ll be fine. You don’t need any backstory and the personalities of each character are obvious 5 seconds after you meet each one.

They adapted Bloody Baron(sort of) in the first season didn’t they? And yeah, this is one book series that who the hell cares if they deviate completely from. I mean Geralt already is more of an adaption of the video game version than the book version. As someone said this is not some iconic/influential work of literature like LotR, Dune, WoT etc… And honestly look at all the recent book adaptions. His Dark Materials drastically changed the story for the better, Shadow and Bone drastically changed the story for the better, Wheel of Time is drastically changing the story and so far it’s for the better. And honestly so far Witcher the show is better than the books. Once people accept that you’re pretty much never going to get 1:1 adaptions they’ll be so much happier. Dune is the exception not the rule. And that took 3 tries to get right.

Watched the first two episodes. God I love the look of this show. First episode was def one of my favorite episodes of the whole series. Second episode had sooooo many cool little nods to the game. I hope Netflix lets this show run to its natural conclusion because I’m really curious if they actually adapt the 3rd game and how it ends the story or if they go their own direction.

Fffffffffff uuuuuuuuuuuu 😂

All that is fine and dandy but is there a new song?????

It’s been so long I’ve forgotten what was considered fantastic opening numbers from pre covid times haha

No it is not

I think arguably the most impressive thing about Guardians, that even I took for granted while i playing, is that they NEVER stop talking. That seems like an exaggeration but they literally talk at each other the entire game. And none of it repeats, none of it feels forced, none of it comes off as lower quality or a lesser performance than is given in full cut scenes, and the most amazing part out of all of that is that you don’t want them to stop talking. It’s never annoying. Just sit back and think about what an achievement in writing and voice performance that is. It’s not a 6 hour game, it takes around 20 to finish and that’s all story and dialogue, no side missions.

The Armor stuff is cool but I hope they kinda lean into the weapons too. I’d love to see more Kill Effects, more cool gun effects maybe something like changing what the Rockets or particle beams actually look like. The concept of Halo MP is generally pretty silly when you break it down and I hope they lean into that a bit. Not saying go full Fortnite stupid, just a little more creativity.

Eh who cares, we romanticize every form of “Historical warriors” from Knights to Cowboys.

Finished it the other day. Def in the running for my GotY(although Village pretty much has that locked down). The ending is so utterly fantastic. The best part of this game is that it almost never drags. The story is draped across every single inch of the game. You’re always progressing and moving forward. Never a point where I went “ugh I just need to get through this to get to the next story part” by the end I genuinely felt move invested and cared more about this Guardians team than the movie Guardians. And as someone else said Chapter 14 is so fantastic. It out Mass Effect’s Mass Effect in that chapter and the cassette grab could be the best moment in gaming in the last decade 😂 That being said I’d be fine if we didn’t get another one. This told a pretty complete story with a lot on the line for all the characters. And CD is such an utterly fantastic studio I kinda would rather just seeing what they can do with different IPs each game Instead of sticking with one for a decade at a time.

I really liked the Detroit game 🤷🏻‍♂️ The idea of a Star Wars game with those cool branching stories based off your decisions that you can track on that cool timeline thing is really exciting for me.

Was one of my top 3 games the year it came out. The combat is really fun, implementation of force powers in a game in awhile. The story is fun enough to make you want to keep going(the ending is awesome though). The biggest surprise to me was the platforming. Going in I assumed it would be on a Tomb Raider/Uncharted level but it’s actually really really really good. And the more Powers you unlock the more fun it becomes. To the point where I was genuinely looking forward to the exploration and platforming parts.

To be fair I haven’t seen it in probably over 20 years haha

My son plays a ton of Roblox but I have an extremely strict NO MONEY EVER policy for that game. Even as like one off birthday or Christmas gifts. I’m not against getting him season passes or DLC that sticks around in game “permanently but this isn’t that. The way micro transactions work in that game is extremely predatory on the age group that game appeals to and I imagine a lot of parents don’t really bother checking on it.

I like Gettysburg 🤷🏻‍♂️

The perfect movie does not ex……

Sure, why not.

How bout they just give me one to commemorate the two of my 360s that arrived in an early grave

Wait, that first video compares it to Anthem. Is this a drop in drop out looter shooter? Cause the issue was not gameplay or the world in Anthem, that was all fantastic. It was the shitty loot, poor cosmetics and less than engaging story. But if this is a single player Anthem with a better more cinematic story??? Sign me right the fuck up. Also, extremely populated worlds are extremely overrated.

I uhhh don’t hate the pink one. That being said I’ll get a black controller but I’m not getting covers until they get a lot cooler

Tornados can happen in hilly areas. They happen in the northeast more frequently than you’d think. They just typically can’t escalate to massively destructive levels without wide open spaces. The ones in the northeast can knock over trees and maybe rip a roof off but they can’t level buildings.

@skillzdadirecta I watch it on a Fire Stick and I press up during the episode to activate whatever those in episode special features on Amazon shows are called. There’s little animated shorts, behind the scenes features and interactive map that shows you where they’re traveling and still from the show; it’s pretty awesome. Yeah I believe they’re currently in production for Season 2 and Season 3 has already been green lit. That’s the nice thing about Amazon over Netflix, less crippilizing fear your show will be cancelled for no reason haha
