10 million viewers is like 5 times what GoT episode 1 did. I'll be happy if this show is good and does well, but I'm in no rush to see it.

Johnbobb posted...
agreed it was a strong premiere, if not as gripping as Game of Thrones premiere because it's a lot more limited in its scope

although you absolutely should watch the last few seasons of GoT. Give yourself a chance to form your own opinions on them instead of just being turned off by angry dudes on the internet. They're flawed but there's still a lot of excellent TV in there even if certain plot points were rushed
Counterpoint: I genuinely wish I had never watched GoT season 7/8.

I think it's fine, mostly. Sometimes you just don't catch bugs early enough in development. Or you don't catch them at all. Some bugs only happen sometimes, and it takes time to figure out what causes the bug to occur. Day 1 patches should be super common.
I'll actually agree with this as long as the key word is 'mostly'. Game launches don't have to be absolutely perfect, but it's looking like Saints Row is going to be way too far over the line of what is acceptable.

I wish Banjo was just a bit better, as his base kit is super fun to play. He doesn't need to go full DLC privilege, but it's hard to use him when he feels like he needs to work really hard for mediocre gains, or just resort to lame egg camping.

imo, Falcon is an S in Melee and a B in 64/Smash 4/Ultimate. There was something special about Melee's physics momentum + Falcon's moveset + The Knee. He's still fun in other games but the magic was never fully replicated.

Ganondorf is a funny case because a lot of people want him to have a more true-to-games moveset, but I guarantee they would find him less fun if he was changed. As he is now, Ganondorf is like, THE most popular character among casuals. Would be a lot of buyer's remorse if it happened I think.

One of my favorite Dark Souls moments ever was watching a friend walk into that area, check the normal chest to see if it was a Mimic, and then not check the Mimic chest.

Spending an hour on a boss is completely normal. I'd say you've actually been doing better than most at the bosses so far.

Yeah I always thought he was being overrated at first because his movement is so slow but they really just overtuned his kit way too much. Minecart is the best move in the game, diamond weapons are way too strong, and you can't even juggle him, which should be his largest vulnerability, because of anvil being so safe and powerful. He was designed with clear weaknesses but then given answers to cover up those weaknesses and then his strengths are too overtuned leading to an oppressive character. Definitely a failure in design.

Steve's normals are absolutely ridiculous for a campy character. He boxes better than characters whose entire gameplan revolves around close combat

Hot take: the Smash Ultimate scene, a year from now, will be a shell of what it is today if Steve doesn't get banned, which he won't, despite us having evidence of what a Bayonetta situation does to a game.

Also I've discovered the Belmonts and Young Link are really fun, but now I can't play them anymore because they'll drop out of Elite Smash, and I don't want to subject people in Battle Arenas to them. What a wonderful online system.

Disjoint characters are ez pz (except for Marth, who sucks). Heavies were even easier. Small light characters, much harder. My worst character is Zero Suit Samus. Mario had virtually no GSP because a friend took him online and tanked his score, and climbing out of that hole has been rough, especially cause I'm not actually good with Mario either.
