Vacant feels the same as before; they just added some obligatory doors and opened up those two previously closed buildings on the left of the map

Shipment feels about the same two, they just opened some containers and closed others so people can't get spawn trapped

And yet Reddit thinks they're both "ruined" lol

Tbf adding doors does make maps way shittier

Oh it gets better, just found out tonight that the radio transmission announcing Palpatine's return to the galaxy was done in Fortnite

Yeah in a movie apparently full of dumb decisions this might be the dumbest

As I mentioned in the other topic, I never saw the movies, but doesn't this mean the original trilogy pretty much accomplished nothing?

That's my perspective on it, yes.

Lmao wtf. This is trash.

Nevermind how palps is even alive in the first place.

To me this doesnt seem far fetched at all because he was just thrown down an exhaust tunnel or something just like Luke fell down one after Vader revealed he was his father. Luke eventually hit the curve and slowed down. No reason why it wouldnt happened to Palps either.

...he was on a space station that was blown into a million pieces

I firmly believe bringing Palpy back wasn't JJ's intention, but because Snoke got killed prematurely he was in a panic because Kylo's not threatening enough to be a main villain.

Yeah there had to have been something more than we got planned for Snoke

Dude is basically just a plot device now

As someone who's never cared to watch it but has heard about it by not avoiding spoilers.

How does this story follow the other two? From what I've heard, each part of the trilogy sounds incredibly disconnected from the other.

That's because they are all incredibly disconnected

Honestly just block the user responsible so he doesn't get to do it again. Hard to see a reaction that way too.

Oh I had already seen the leaks, I just find it hilarious how inept the mods are about it

boxington posted...

even if it's poor storytelling, idk how anything in the topic makes anything in the saga meaningless

Palpatine still being the big bad kind of makes Anakin's entire existence meaningless

It's worse when you see that Kylo and Rey kiss after he brings her back to life, before he dies

Lmao

No way. That not real, is it? We need those dorks from the other thread to come and defend that.

It absolutely is, there was a clip of it posted online earlier today

Also if force healing/resurrection can be pulled out of one's ass why could the literal chosen one not figure out that was a thing and avoid the entire series happening

It's worse when you see that Kylo and Rey kiss after he brings her back to life, before he dies

Come on, man.

All that hype over the power to stop death and now people all over are learning it willy nilly

The Force Awakens is a good yet too safe movie

The Last Jedi is just a failure of a film

I'm curious as to where the series will go now that the Skywalker Saga is over

Somewhere other than "plucky rebels with a Jedi vs big bad empire with a Sith Lord" if we're lucky

pres_madagascar posted...

Honestly, the prequels were not that bad. They were dumb and mindless, but had a lot of fun moments. They also birthed the excellent clone wars cartoon.

The prequels are weird, man

I went back and watched them in preparation for this shitshow, and yes Jar Jar is dumb and kid Anakin sucks, but the rest of TPM isn't bad. And AotC, Anakin and Padme romance is legitimately terrible but the rest of the movie is honestly pretty good

I wonder if they'll deal with Gus permanently next episode or if he'll be a season 2 antagonist.

I thought this was supposed to be a one off show...did they confirm a second season?

Yeah a few weeks ago Jon Favreau posted a pic on Instagram of the first day of filming season 2

Flockaveli posted...

Question about episode 5

Did we ever find out who that was in the ending, upon discovering the sniper's corpse?

No, I was just wondering about that a few minutes ago myself. Maybe they deal with Gideon next episode and the end addresses that to set up season 2

I wonder if they'll deal with Gus permanently next episode or if he'll be a season 2 antagonist.

It's just too bad one of the maps is Shipment.

PC fixes and footsteps volume lowered more. Might be almost playable now. Still think I might uninstall it from my laptop, it's just too big to justify keeping it on there.

this

star wars is at the point where it doesnt matter what they do, people will hate it. you just have to go see it yourself.

yes everyone hates the mandalorian and fallen order

Freddie_Mercury posted...

did you try spinning

no but he'll try dying, that's a neat trick!

The Mandalorian - glowing reviews, Baby Yoda craze

Fallen Order - solid reviews, around 80% on Metacritic, successful single player game, sequel already in the works allegedly

The Old Republic: Onslaught - haven't played yet but the impressions I've seen online are that it's the best content SWTOR has had in quite some time

Even Battlefront 2 is doing pretty well now 2 years after it released, IGN re-reviewed it and gave it an 8.8

But the big movie is flopping hard with critics

the whole plot has been posted online

there's plenty to hate in it

That last part sounds so awful

wow that sounds.... ugh

Hairistotle posted...

well you are in luck because they are giving johnson his own trilogy

That could be really good as long as it's Old Republic or far enough in the future that no existing characters appear. He's clearly a great filmmaker if you look at the rest of his work, he was just very much not the right choice for the 2nd movie in a trilogy

BakonBitz posted...

Either that or have the two directors work together and collaborate on some sort of plot structure. Plenty of projects have multiple writers whether it's movies or video games, and they usually work together and come to an agreement.

That's totally not what they did here.

Well I meant someone above the directors that kind of makes sure there's a plan being followed like a Kevin Feige. The original trilogy had different directors for all three and felt like one cohesive story.

Hairistotle posted...

from what i can tell jj had an outline of what he wanted to do but rian johnson really wanted to kill luke in his movie and subvert expectations, so it brought the trilogy to a halt

yeah considering how TFA was all about finding Luke, I really doubt JJ's plan included all of the shit that RJ did to Luke

really, really needed one consistent person in charge of all 3 and I hope if DIsney makes another trilogy after this, whether it's 10-12: Empire-Threeie or an unrelated trilogy, they realize that

Lower than every movie but Phantom Menace

Yikers

Star Wars is reviewing very not good so far which sucks

Oh so now it's only the 2nd worst star wars movie, good, good

And you don't need to tag me, I'm perfectly capable of reading my AMP

Just kidding, Phantom Menace got a 53% so this is actually lower at the moment

spikethedevil posted...

So its average then? AKA better than two thirds of the prequel trilogy.

This rating if it holds up would tie Phantom Menace for worst in the series (ignoring the animated Clone Wars movie) so no

Modern Warfare is so shit but I keep playing it

Protip it's neither

PrideOfLion posted...

2005 or 2017?

2005 is the only one on Steam

It's really cheap during sales and stupidly easy to run in 2019 so you have no excuse

I wish EA Battlefront 2 had the same feel

Too many heroes in games in that one

Naughty Dog also changed the type of games they made too

I wish they hadn't

The Last Jedi did nothing interesting though

And they did hire a passionate cast and crew.

no they didnt

I think the cast and crew did all they could

Just had shit writing as a foundation

Lairen posted...

Emporors back. Reys his grandaughter. He killed her parents. Rey beats kylo but they join up to kill emperor. Kylo sacrofices himself somehow. Rey hurts chewy but heals him.

Last I saw Kylo gets tossed into a bottomless pit, Rey dies killing Palps then he crawls out and brings her back to life dying in the process

And they kiss after he brings her back to because of course

The leaks are awful and apparently all accurate

It's true, all of it

I want to enjoy it because I have friends who play, but the maps are runny dogshit, regenerating claymores is dogshit, people blend into the maps too much, too much headglitching thanks to leaning and mounting that never should have been in the game, terrible spawns, terrible camping, there's just too much stacking up to keep me from having any fun at all.

Don't forget that you can't move if you don't have Dead Silence active otherwise people will hear you from across the map

Modern Warfare is pretty shit

Dude I could go for some Zaxbys

Don't do anything fun

I wanna say that Manuel Ferrera streams on Twitch pretty often
