Part of the issue is that the game will likely be delisted from multiple countries since they legally can't use PSN. Look at when Helldivers 2 had the PSN requirement and 30+ countries couldn't buy it for a while. They still can't. --- Planning is the process of replacing chance with error. |

stating it needs a psn account before the launch is very different than the helldivers 2 situation As long as the list of countries with no real access to PSN is absurdly long, it will always cause some backlash.

Topic | GRR Martin slams writers for adaptations: "They never make it better." |
Karovorak 05/28/24 11:37:14 AM #38 | St0rmFury posted...
Are the LotR movies considered adaptations? Yes, but I don't think the LotR movies are the thung GRR Martin talked about. (For me) there is a big difference between taking a book, and making a film out of it (LotR or the Harry Potter movies), and taking a book and "improving" it. Sometimes you have to cut some stuff or explain it a bit different because a 5 seconds in a book could be writen on 5 pages, or 5 lines are enough to waste 5 minutes of screen time. The 1 image vs. 1000 words thing is real, and is something that has to be taken into account, so changes are not bad by default. But when an editor or screen writer comes, takes a popular work, and changes so much that it can't be seen as even similat anymore? That's just a presumptuous ego at work. Even the thought that "they" could improve or even replicate a work of a legend like Tolkien is just crazy. If they could, they would not need to take these books as a basis, and could create a original masterpiece. --- Planning is the process of replacing chance with error. |

Karovorak 05/27/24 9:21:15 AM #15 | kirbymuncher posted...
I never really played MK8 but a long featureless track with too many guard rails and no hazards sounds exactly like the original in MK64 In MK8 it's a way too short featureless track, and it feels like there are even less hazards than in MK64. At the same time, you feel 0 nostalgia at all. It's just, you drive a bit, and it's over. It's simply weird. --- Planning is the process of replacing chance with error. |

Karovorak 05/27/24 4:18:50 AM #45 | Scotty_Rogers posted...
lol even if it wasn't the main reason (it was), Qui-Gon's dying request was still very much a factor in why Obi-Wan trained Anakin. If that single phrase makes you feel that bad, sure, let's change the dying words of Qui-Gon. Because obviously no one is ever allowed to say "took it up to myself" as soon someone talks to you about it. Scotty_Rogers posted... Ah, that's another thing. That's why I say that there should be some timegap, to make it more clear. But we also have seen Yoda teaching a class of younglings, so a Jedi probably had multiple masters by default. And when I talk about Mister X, my math teacher, I also say that he was my math teacher, not "one of my math teachers". --- Planning is the process of replacing chance with error. |

Obi-Wan was never depicted as some senile old man with a foggy memory. All of that would be easily solvable if we had some time pass between...
Make it clear that it took a few months, not a few days at best, and suddenly we have a much better leg for Yoda being Obi-Wan's Master, as well as Obi-Wan not taking care of Anakin because of some heat of the moment promise.

Random battles Random battles are just potentialy annoying for nearly no benefit. Especially when they are just insanely repetitive like Zubats in a cave. When 30 minutes of exploring a cave ends up with fighting 30 zubats, it's just frustrating. It also doesn't help that they come out of nowhere like a bad jump scare. Your control over them is minimal, and if you are unlucky you just finished some annoying fight, only to start another annoying fight after 5 steps. QTEs. They are just... what's the use of it? They are quite literally "Press X to win". If they happen within a fight they can be fine (like, boss just grapped you, mash X to escape, or 50% phase transition happend) but if they happen in a normal cutscene, their greatest impact is that they just made a cutscene unskippable. It also doesn't help that they just feel... primitive. You are not supposed to fail QTEs in the first place, and if you fail, it's simply because they got you by surprise the first time. There is simply no satisfaction if you beat a QTE, in the worst case they just punish you for being distracted during something you thought was a harmless cinematic. No gain, only pain. "Handholding" - Eh, that could be anything, and is the hardest to explain or justify as a valid complain.

As much as I dislike the post, I cant even comprehend a world where its moddable.

I genuinely dont believe the mods care at all about that sort of thing; or if they do, they dont seem to show it. Accusing a company of distributing child porn and "being okay with it" is moddable on a lot of places, for good reason.
