Also, if you're looking for a good (but old'ish) game about vikings, Viking : Battle for Asgard is pretty damn good, it didn't really find its audience back then but it would have deserved more success than it received (it's on X360, PS3 and PC).

So much this. I mean, in one of the Assassin's Creed 2 games (Maybe the third Assassin's Creed 2.. or the second... goddamn this franchise) Ezio finds notes from Altaïr that say he had two sons, one went east and one went west to spread the creed of the Assassins. Ezio being in Italy, it...

Seems great so far. Funny to see Taskmaster apparently mimicking Hawkeye in that car chase, though the compound bow + helmet gave me a big Crysis 3 feeling.

It's not like you have to show your face to bang someone. In fact if it wasn't Disney I'd have expected around the end of the episode when he's packing, the pretty widow would come talk to him and whisper something and he goes "Uh.. no it's only the helmet.." and then an ellipse and back to...

I'll answer that question like I'm not surrounded by people asking questions without wanting actual answers. In the duel at the end of TFA, you gotta remember Kylo Ren was 1) bleeding like a stuck pig after taking a bowcaster shot to the chest (which we saw several times in the movie backflip...

I think what you are overestimating is the importance the masses give to the impact TLJ had on the Star Wars brand. It did some damage, for sure. Lots of adult fans that used to buy all the toys and merch for every movie are now buying less or none. But for the kids, the merch is still...

Shame he didn't get his habit of walking around with a bare chest from his grandma.

Legit question : how do you find that out WITHOUT having already read it?

No you're right about avoiding threads in the weeks prior to release.. however, this leaks situation without any spoilers has been going on in this thread for months. Even before the first teaser.

That's exactly what I was saying. :emoji_smile:

Since we're on the topic, I check this thread now and then BEFORE the movie expecting to see teasers, trailers, and the occasionnal youtuber video and comments about how KK is ruining this franchise, or making fun of TLJ some more, or stuff like that.... leaks should be spoilered or be in their...

Not that this thread takes the lore seriously for the most part, but in the amazing novel Darth Plagueis novel (seriously one of the best SW books I've read, including the Thrawn trilogy), Palpatine's background and origins are explored much more. His first name is indeed Sheev since that was...

I know I'm late to the party but I've only recently played Hollow Knight since I'm trying to catch up on my backlog of games (finished the PS4 backlog and 3 games to do on Switch, woo) and good lord that game is frickin amazing. The soundtrack, the gameplay, the world-building is all top notch...

Is that how you get Terminator dinosaurs? Cause I kinda want Terminator dinosaurs.

The artifact the Dragonmaw were using was the Demon Soul (previously Dragon Soul) that belonged to Deathwing (he stole it after the other Aspects poured their power into it). Deathwing allowed the Dragonmaw clan to use it to enslave Alexstrasza the Red Dragonqueen whom he hated, and let them use...

Hopefully everyone slides off from the back just as the main thrusters fire, incinerating the SWJ brigade. Only Lando remains to finish Palpatine.

I know you're just highlighting the absurdity of the scene with your comment, but my guess is that based on the trailer, we've seen the Star Destroyers are emerging from under the ice, so I think they were charging on their space horses and suddenly the ice cracks and a Star Destroyer emerges...

From the trailer, I don't really see an obvious rehash. I mean obviously there's a few callbacks and we're seeing old characters every few seconds just because "LOOK, IT'S THE STAR WARS YOU LOVE" but other than that, the story seems like something new.. doesn't mean it's going to be good, but it...

Not to defend TLJ's mostly shitty writing, but at the end where they're stuck in the abandonned rebel base, before they go face the AT-ATs with the silly speeders, they send messages to all their allies in the galaxy and nobody responds. So there WERE more factions, just nobody decided to help...

Having finished it 99% in portable mode, I can tell you I didn't have any noticeable framerate issues playing the game and the remake is excellent. But I can't say if maybe it happens on TV, I did like half an hour on TV with it. I'd say it's definitely worth buying. Maybe not the system just...

These articles about a "fleet of Death Stars" are clickbait and misleading... we've already seen in the trailer that the "Sith Star Destroyers" (the Imperial-era Star Destroyers with the dark red lining) can shoot a massive red beam (seen impacting a planet but not destroying it in the trailer)...

Joe Mad drew several WoW loading screens and comics, hence my "Blizzard Style" comment. Doesn't really matter who inspired who, it's a similar character design with humongous shoulders and hands, small heads, huge weapons, etc... :)

With the "Blizzard style" graphics and character design on Darksiders games (in fact the artist for most of the games design also did the WoW comic books) and the setting of Heaven versus Hell and the Horsemen being Nephalem, it's fun to imagine Diablo and Darksiders taking place in the same...

There's a Darksiders Wiki to catch up on the lore of previous games, but for the most part they all take place simultaneously. War gets imprisoned in limbo for 100 years after the events of the prologue in Darksiders 1. Darksiders 2 takes place during this imprisonment and ends right before the...

I loved 1 as a mix of God of War fighting style with Zelda dungeons and itemization, and the setting of Heaven and Hell was perfect to me. 2 was disappointing to me because I wanted more of 1's style and instead it felt like Diablo loot and forced RPG mechanics, and the lore did NOT expand...

So was Darth Vader. Sad death is sad.

Katsumoto's death in The Last Samurai.

I watched a full Let's Play of that Drowned City game and it looked a bit generic, not much Lovecraft in it except it looked like a Shadow Over Innsmouth ripoff but without the cool parts.. The best Lovecraft game is still Call of Cthulu : Dark Corners of the Earth to me. Give it a shot if...

That's something some books have developped quite well, showing the perspective of Joe Average in the galaxy, and it's part of what made Rogue One so compelling to me, it was a war story with soldiers, blasters, grenades and zero super powers. And that's also why Vader's scene at the end of it...

Took me the better part of 20 mins to find a way to embed that fucking thing above, I'm getting too old for this shit. What if this movie's twist is that we're getting a villain squad of opposites against our dashing heroes? Darth Rey with a square BB unit that can't roll around, White Finn...

Rey has no parents because she's a cloned experiment by Palpatine from a project that came to fruition after his death, and the Darth Rey in the trailer is another (evil) clone. You heard it here first, folks!

If Disney painstakingly killed Han Solo and Luke Skywalker characters just to give less money to George Lucas because he rakes in all that dough on old characters, can you explain why they decided to bring back PALPATINE for Episode 9 despite him being dead? I mean, I get why they really...

Just finished the new Thrawn novel : Treason. Very interesting and entertaining, if you liked the previous Zahn books you'll like this one! :)

Wait, I've been here for like decades and I don't even remember that part about the dude finding out the hooker is a man and finishing anyway lol.

Actually I don't quite get what you mean.. :emoji_confused: Don't you think it's a bit more RPG to NOT have portals and teleport pads all over the place that go across the world or to other planets instantly for everyone in a medieval fantasy setting? While we as players are able to teleport...

We are killing Azshara because : technically our fleets are stuck in Nazjatar, the convenient portal to Boralus/Dazar'alor is only for gameplay reasons and only powerful mages like Jaina can teleport out (to rescue Baine for instance) so we have to confront her to get out of the trap she lured...

The bombers scene is awful but I don't think it's because of the bombers themselves, or even the admitedly in-universe dumb mechanics of the bombs.. in fact I appreciate the turret-bubble-cockpits on the bombers that make them look even more like WW2 bombers and that was a nice reference to the...

I agree, but keep in mind in Kong : Skull Island they established that he's still quite young and growing, and it took place about 50 years before Godzilla 2. I expect we'll see a much larger Kong in the upcoming movie.

If you're interested in the history behind Alien 3, I highly recommend this video, it's quite enlightening.
