  1. A literally who score if I've ever heard it (I hadn't until I heard it won).
  2. I forgot I asked that question. I don't think I've ever seen this version because we had a fancy theater near us back in '02.
  3. I did too. When PS5 came out I started waiting for a lower price to arrive quickly, since they would sell big PS4 games for $10 or just give 'em away. Hasn't happened that often so far...and I kind of appreciate that. It let's me jump in early to play something I want to play without feeling ripped off when it hits $20 in three weeks after release.
  4. Yeah, but that's also ignoring the reality that everyone avoids talking about with media these days. While there is an argument about physical media and being able to keep the thing when stores go down, or just when a piece of media is removed from a download or streaming service, we all know that EVERYTHING from movies, music, TV, games, etc are all way more accessible than they've ever been. Even when they're taken down from services.
  5. I think, against common business sense, that if they released an Assassin's Creed every 5 years, it would do millions and millions in sales and would give people a chance to really dig in, increasing the value of the game. That's the other thing, Ubi games are seen as cheap throwaways, because they always have to steeply discount them so clear them out for the next year's entry. So now, people see a new Ubisoft game and know to wait a few weeks to get it for $20. That's the most likely thing that happened to the new Mario + Rabbids.
  6. Pokemon should have always been open world. It was what we dreamed of in the late 90s before open world was really a thing. That being said, Scarlet and Violet are lousy games. They feel better than they are because they're a step in the right direction, but it was hard to make it worse than Sword and Shield. All the hate and criticism Pokemon gets for the last 10 years is justified. It's especially frustrating when they made much better games on weaker hardware.
  7. They know they don't need to. Breath of the Wild is the one game in the last 10 years that's really captured imaginations and moved in the industry forward. The promise of more is all it needs to sell.
  8. The first one was such a carbon copy of 2D Zelda that you couldn't help but to notice the fact that every single aspect was directly inferior. I have no idea why they made a second one. Even more surprised that it's been promoted so hard between Playtonic "publishing" and having the money to pay Nintendo to promote it on their Youtube.
  9. 1. Star Wars 2. The Holiday Special 3. The Empire Strikes Back 4. Return of the Jedi 5. Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure 6. Ewoks: The Battle for Endor Obviously.
  10. Well, Star Wars's best one was the sixth too.
  11. That's a much more succinct version of what I was trying to say.
  12. Wasn't the first thing they said about his dead trilogy that it was completely separate from the main saga (which they later called "the Skywalker Saga", but only because they had to give you a reason to care about Episode 9 last minute)? Then again, you're dealing with a troll who'll probably answer that that was a misdirect too. Dawg, you should realize who you're dealing with and stop burning up your energy arguing.
  13. I really can't remember at this point if people were debating at the time if Palpatine was Sidious or if they were just being sarcastic about it. Also, I remember people going wild at this page, and then when the creators were asked if it confirmed that Palpatine and his boss created Anakin they got really pissed. They always seem to be pissy when people get excited and come up with fan theories.
  14. Back when Phantom Menace came out, I knew Sidious was played by the guy who was the Emperor in Jedi, but I assumed they just liked him as the evil Sith guy so they recast him in a new part. So when they used the emperor theme again for him, I just thought it was one of those cases where they expand the use of the theme for other things. Sort of like how the rebel fanfare became associated with the Falcon in the Disney trilogy.
  15. Other way around. I keep meaning to pick up Eternal again, but something didn't click about it for me. At first I thought it was just that it was too much of the same too soon, but lately I think it's something different in the mechanics that I haven't nailed down yet.
  16. Excellent, okay, fine, excellent, crap, great Good, fine, fine, great, fine, fine Good, excellent, excellent, great, all timer, great
  17. What I mean by that statement is that the previous movie and emphasis on who her parents are in the first 2/3 of The Last Jedi, so they TRIED to pull the rug out from you, but it didn't work because you had an entire movie of "jk jk" mini twists throughout the movie.
  18. While true, the problem with the reveal of Rey Nobody is it came after 2 hours of "LOL JUST KIDDING IT MEANS NOTHING". When EVERY answer to every question you set up was "Hah, it doesn't matter. You're a fool and wasted your time wondering", the effect was frustrating by then. If the entire movie kept going in a Force Awakens like direction up to that point and then they pull the rug out from under you with that reveal near the end of the movie, and then the audience feels the same sense of a gut punch that Rey did, it might have been way more effective...and even kind of meta. Speaking of, Rey was never interested in who her parents were. It was kind of weird. She wanted to see them again, sure, but it wasn't until TLJ that she was curious about who they were. The movies wanted you to be curious about that, but Rey herself was just waiting for them to come back for her. ...and apparently they had to call up JJ to not have Luke floating in the air meditating surrounded by rocks floating around him, since Johnson decided he needed to be cut off from the force. It's so strange...because while he's not TECHNICALLY wrong, it just doesn't work no matter how much you shake it out. No matter how much you want to make the movie an independent, standalone movie, it's intrinsically tied to both the previous 7 movies before it, its characters, and plot, and it has to set up for the movie that will follow up. He can whine all he wants about franchises and selling movies and stuff, but that's what he signed up for. He knew he was the middle part of a trilogy. It's not like they asked him to make a movie, it was successful, and they decided to milk it from there. He also wasn't hired for a standalone spinoff. He signed up for Episode 8 of a series. There's no getting around that.
  19. Unconfirmed though, since the story is from the fake guessing numbers from VGChartz.
  20. Okay, NOW I'm all caught up again. You may all proceed.
