"OMG dodged a bulllet not signing up"

They basically got hacked but could get like anything. It's like somebody saying "did you hear X bank got robbed? Yeah because of the security precautions the robbers couldn't get into any safes but they got like 32 dollars from a cashier"
"OMG dodged a bullet not going to that bank"

I have that same experience except for the "me wanting to spark conversation" piece.

I'm always in and out there. They pitch the warranty and pre-order stuff for a few seconds and I'm like no thanks. The one I go to they're always super fast with their pitches too because they probably know the reputation gamestop has and doesn't want to steer into it.

This. It makes me feel like most of the complaints are from socially awkward people, because I never felt annoyed at their questions and it's always been like one or two.

A lot of supposed adults think Revenge of the Sith was the "good" prequel cause its grim dark and stuff

I only find it more enjoyable than the other prequels because of its quick pacing and it keeps the political stuff from being too drawn out. I agree it's stupidly grimdark though.

It's the little flourishes of the blade that make the fight interesting, not flips and spins. The tension that comes from knowing each combatant is always just beyond blade time and one slip is death. Use of the environment or shifting forms is an added bonus.

It's sort of like with sparring: a spinning back kick is impressive, but all you have to do is step in and you've completely beaten them. My problem with a lot of the prequel fights is anyone who tried a fancy flip attack should have gone down as hard as Anakin did to a skilled opponent. It just doesn't feel real.

This. I know it's a fantasy series but this is why I prefer the sequel trilogy lightsaber fights. (And hell, the Luke vs. Vader one in RotJ was great too, so much emotion behind that one) They're fewer in number yet they feel more real. All those flips, twirls, and kicks that make you vulnerable just look stupid to me and that video posted above made the most famous fight of the prequels look like a joke because the choreography was awful.

Should be enjoyable. Looks like the lightsaber duels still aren't at the level they were at in the prequels though. Not sure how Rey and/or Kylo Ren expects to beat Palpatine when he's about 837309973797948526574x more skilled at swordplay than they are. I'm curious to see how they'll nerf Palpatine to match the choreography in this trilogy.

Tbh I like the toned down choreography. In hindsight I hated all those flips and sword twirls in the prequel trilogy.

Aww, look at the edgelords all mad that the character representing them gets shown up for what he is.

Thing is the villain is supposed to be threatening instead of failing at nearly everything he does. Kylo Ren's more like that annoying goofy villain that follows you around in a jRPG that always gets defeated but swears he'll be back later and beat you this time.

Kind of a shame they had to re-introduce Palpatine (not sure in what manner yet) to have an actual threat again.

And hell, if I were in their shoes, I'd be kinda jealous if homogenized mainstream movies like Marvel make far more than something I'd put my heart and soul into writing and directing that was critically acclaimed.

Agreed. It annoys me that the "Xenoblade 1 is the only good one" fanboys detest 2's art style to the point where they think Xenoblade HD would be a worse version just for sharing it. It's a beautiful art style and very expressive. Hate the character design sure, but hating something purely because it's super colorful is shallow.

Yeah it's what they always do. Leave them out at launch so reviews can't reflect them and people fall for it and buy it. Then they're added later.

I honestly think the reviewing system should be re-done and allow writers to go back and alter the review depending on the game's current status, given how patches are so prevalent. Activision found a loophole and it's BS, IMO.
