i dont get it because its like people dont understand that the things they're stealing cost someone else time and money to produce. entitled children, i tell ya.

Stealing is bad.

But a lot of times, it's for things that corporate entities hold the rights to, but are not doing anything with or releasing to channels where people can purchase.

7/10 is pretty good for someone who isn't a big fan of the game

Hold off for Switch, nearly every great title has been ported

Or if the prison is treating you like shit, your block might decide to go on a hunger strike. And you have to join, or the other inmates will fuck you up for turning on them

I don't think in 2020, need to though.

I was already thinking that Ghosts would win, and I haven't played it nor own a PS4. It seems like they nailed the Assassin's Creed formula better than Ubisoft.

However, he was already arguably middle aged, and had a very solid single discog already in terms of output. So I dont know how much music we were robbed of. He did have some great tracks recorded soon before his death though so it was still a huge blow.

Maybe solo you're correct. But the signs by 1980 seemed to indicate the Beatles were open to working together after a full decade had passed. That's what we missed on. Who knows maybe they would have not been able to capture what they had, but I get the feeling they could have done something amazing too.

I was gonna tell you this had already been done on PC by other fans. But I looked it up and none of those projects seem to be finished. So yeah, that is bogus how these companies will sit on ideas for as long as humanly possible to stretch out the profit. That's the corporate mentality applied to art for ya.

I really don't know why they wouldn't do this after Sonic Mania was a success

Yes. However, it's good to have the right expectations. It does have a slow pacing, but I am definitely not among those who consider it slow. It has a lot going on in each scene. It was Stanley Kubrick's last film, and he crammed it with visual details and subliminal images and messages, as he did all his films. Between hidden messages the visuals and the dialogue, there's a lot going on in each scene.

It's solid dramatically, the two stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were literally married at the time, which is pretty wild considering the subject matter. There are a few scenes that are very intense if you are not familiar with the film.

But it does go at a slow pace. I would say if you can enjoy movies that are older or just a little bit slower, more slice of life stuff maybe, you will probably enjoy EWS. Not that it's slice of life.... but it kind of is.... it's a strange movie, very dreamlike. There's nothing quite like it. Stick with it. It goes places you're not expecting at the start of the film.

Worth watching if you're a fan of film.

2020 needs to be the last year for that generation as far as AAA games

The word is vampire

Except they're not. There is only one instance of this immortality magic, and it's being passed from person to person. But, doing the story excludes me from having vampires or any other immortals as it takes away from the immortal drama of my protagonist.

Does he gain this power in the story or before? I would think being immortal wouldn't become an issue until he had lived for a long time, unless he's someone who doesn't want to be alive.

Within the story. You meet the protagonist and get to know the world first. Then in the story he meets the current 'Immortal', and eventually is given the immortality.

In my story this magic being passed between these people is mysterious, but has a long history. Most who have it give it up under threat of torture. That's probably the biggest fear for them, is to be tortured until they give it up.

So once you have it, the dilemma is, do you bare the burden of the immortality and that threat, or do you give it to someone else, knowing that either: a. you're putting that burden on them, or b. they are evil and will use it to do horrible things to the world. Or both.

Young man inherits magic force that makes him almost completely immortal. Any injuries will heal. Cannot die, except if he chooses to pass the immortality onto someone else. Once the exchange is made, that is when you die. Which is how he got it, from someone else who gave it to him, who then died.

All the drama is based around that, and how someone would deal with that.

The Midiclorian is good

I would like to see fans mod in some more unique level design for some of the later levels

Oh no..how dare them try monetize on stuff that YOU are consuming and that it took them time and resources to make.

It's a fault of the system that they have to point our attention to these things. That doesn't mean it's not detrimental to the content. It is detrimental, and the highest quality creators don't do it.

Sopranos (I finished seasons 1 and 2 and I'm starting season 3 on HBO Max) and Dragon View (a 16-bit action RPG that originally released on SNES, but it got rereleased this year on a cartridge as part of the Piko collection on the Evercade. I'm playing it now on the Evercade).

@SavageGlum100 I barely know anyone who's played DragonView. great unique game

Cowboy Bebop plus Morrowind

I've been working from home this year, so big yes.

Is it racist against Asian culture, or is it criticizing white people who attempt to integrate themselves into that? As if they have no identity of their own, so they latch onto what they see as a stronger culture. I'm sure it gets used both ways. I've never used it, as it seems Japanese content creators are embracing these people.

I'd take a trip if you're able, since you've waited so long at this point, make it a special thing. Is there a city you could make it to with a couple friends that might have open bars?

Not everything is advertising or public relations. Some people just say what they think is necessary.

This is not correct. On the internet, ALL of it is advertising, pr, branding, marketing. All persuasion, non stop. And we all participate. There's a reason it's a catchy slogan that gained traction: cause it was engineered that way.

Pretty smart guy, in terms of persuasion.

If you're referring to them as that previous name, that is the issue I believe.

But in that example, where it's a story about the transition and it points out that it was formerly Ellen Page, I don't see the issue. It's just telling us who this is vs the name we knew them by before.

I like how Kennedy catches so much flak for people's issues with the ST in spite of the fact that writing/plotting/storytelling is literally not her job

I'm not one of the people who talk shit on her for no reason (ie just cause she's a woman). However, she does have executive control, and up til now she has involved herself, and has been able to push ideas or veto them. She is not detached from the creative team.

There are some valid points about Lucas above, but here is the thing: He created the story, the tone, the characters. Then, when the studios wanted a generic sequel, he instead came up with the twist in Empire. From that twist, he was able to create a general outline for the next seven movies. That's pretty brilliant in a time where series telling a single story over a franchise of films was basically non existent.

I mean, early film had serialized stuff. But something on the scale of movies in the 60s and 70s? No, not like Star Wars. Now, it seems Marcia Lucas' editing was pivotal. I've watched examples of how Lucas would have laid out the scenes, and it would have been much worse, possibly making it where SW would have never been a hit in the same way.

But you know what Lucas did? He picked someone in his wife, who was an excellent editor and was going to make the best of the material. He picked Ralph McQuarrie to paint artwork of scenes, so that when he pitched it to executives they could see the vision. He picked John Williams cause he trusted the genius of Spielberg who recommended him.

If you have not read Leigh Brackett's ESB first draft, it's worth it to do so. She was the first writer who Lucas hired to write the sequel to Star Wars. It follows much of the same general plot points of Empire, but with some crucial changes. When Luke goes to Dagobah, he meets the ghost of Anakin who was killed by Vader. Anakin tells him about his long lost twin sister, a character we haven't met yet.

Anakin then goes to Cloud City, and defeats Vader, though not totally. There is another mostly happy ending.

If the studios, or other writers, looked at SW and tried to write a sequel, that's what it would have been. Another week's episode of Flash Gordon saving the day. Lucas was the one who had the moment of genius revelation, when he realized Anakin and Vader could be the same character. Then he got Lawrence Kasdan to write that version. Through that, he was able to arc out the final film and the prequels, and set up some vague ideas for what the sequels would be. All before RotJ even started. That's why the first film's crawl originally didn't say "Episode IV" but, Empire's crawl has always said "Episode V". Through writing that revelation, Lucas was able to figure out almost the entire rest of the series.

George sucks too though. He gets too much credit for star wars. He only came up with the basic original concept but supposedly his original ideas were really lame and most if not all of what made star wars great came from idea from other people working with him.

His contribution to not just the creation but the trajectory of the entire universe cannot be overstated. None of it happens without him. If he had not owned the rights to the sequels, Fox would have pumped out two more generic space films and the series would have gone no where.

Wait, but it says she's down once married

no sorry :(

A bunch for like $100 - $200. My biggest one was $500. Going 95 in a 70.

Do you wanna go on a walk or do something outside first? I imagine you can go to the park by yourself or something. Would be a good idea to get something like that out of the way first.

I'd say that extends as well to the two spinoffs that followed. Those 5 Bungie games are really amazing.

It is compatible with basically every major type of mod. All the greats have been ported.

It wasn't that way for about 2 - 3 years, but by this past year, there's almost nothing significant I can think of that isn't compatible. The performance gains are so great most modders have transitioned over. And they're very noticeable in gameplay if you compare. Crashes less too.

There may be some mods missing, but in my opinion it's still worth it to go with SE.

The way SE touches up the game visually is minor. Bethesda didn't really put too much effort into that. But, the bigger thing is its performance upgrade, it's a big deal to the game and to modding.

Congratulations on free Skyrim SE. That's a really great value.

Also just fyi there is a multiplayer mod for Skyrim that is in a very decent state. Gameplay mostly runs smooth and it has a significant portion of quests playable, though not all. They have their own servers too so you can just install the mod and jump in. Pretty fun.

bro you're workin my sides with this story

Yeah she is. Much more real looking than what I expected of someone like him.

-Roster is Ultimate's full base game, plus twenty new characters (echos included in that). Mostly new Nintendos but one or two significant 3rd parties in the new base game.
-Similar scale up of content in rest of game, stages, quality of life additions/changes etc etc.
-Ultimate's DLCs stay as DLCs. If you bought them for Ultimate you'll still have them in the new game. From there on they release DLC characters/stages regularly at the price we've seen.

Do you buy? If they could pull off actually doing an Ultimate sequel, or otherwise turning Ultimate into the new platform for Smash content.

You could mod it to make it look a little better but its still like a 20 year old game

On this subject, graphic mods are there but really you hsouldn't need them. As far as graphics, with this game I think lighting mods are more important than new textures/models. If you do need them, they are there.

However, if you can get into the game, the game's best mod, and one of the best mods for any video game ever, is called Tamriel Rebuilt. They are trying to build the whole rest of the world. As of now, they have basically tripled the size of the game. There are several expansion packs worth of content ready to play.

If you play as a mage the combat hasnt changed very much at all

Meant to include this in my post, but I was on mobile. Most rpgs I usually play a ranger. Morrowind I play a mage. It's magic system is not as antiquated, and in fact its superior to the systems that follow. More customizeable, and has cool stuff the sequels didn't, like levitation and water walking.

It is the best game out of the modern three. Not only that but it has fully functioning multiplayer now, and MMO style servers, thanks to the modding community.

It is more immersive, more role-playing friendly, takes the player more seriously. However the combat is extremely dated there is essentially nothing to it. So in otherwords play for the world and the questing and the role-playing, don't play for the combat.

So yes buy it. Then look up tes3mp. It's the multiplayer mod. So then you can hop on one of the MMO servers. Your play experience can basically be the same you can still play all the quest by yourself, but if you want to there will be other players running around the world as well. It is an absolute blast

Jeb moments are the best

The Declaration of Independence literally refers to us as the united "States of America". The States of America. Not the "United States of America".

Referring to our government as the "United States" only happened once the Constitution was written. It refers to the government and its capital in Washington DC. If you live outside of DC, you are not in the US, you are only its citizen living outside of the literal territory. Most of us live in the different "States of America" but are citizens of the "United States" and subject to it.
