When your story fits a 2,000-year-old religious archetype,
telling people to move on from it because it's a couple decades old,
exposes either someone pretty stupid or very bitter.

She could be talking about obsessive nutjobs,
but I don't think she is, from reading the comments / watching the segments.
I think she's just talking about people who still really like the books/films.

I like the books, and not the films,
and I don't see any reason why I should “move on” from a great story.
Not any more than virtually everyone already has.

It's the community fixes and QoL patches that I'm looking forward to with this.

Called it.
This series really is cursed.
Why is it that no-one who takes on this franchise is prepared to put the work in?

“Sony's rumored PS5 mid-gen refresh could allow for massive graphical gains.”

Right because that's exactly what this generation needs.

The Oscars are in their final, desperate, attention-seeking death throes.
Not even the Teen Choice Awards stooped to this level.

@kaki: Dark Souls 3 was more derivative than Elden Ring .

You sure you're not just mad at Elden Ring? :P

@RSM-HQ: Agreed. It's the worst, but it's fine.
Almost all the etherial dream-like qualities Grace is describing here,
are definitely because the team lacked the competence or the time
to make the world more coherent.
It could've been entirely coherent and consistent
while being entirely imaginary and fantastical.
Those things aren't mutually exclusive.

This will be like the 5th project in a row where Todd Howard
has brazenly lied to everyone's face so egregiously that it's become a meme,
and yet somehow everyone will still believe everything he says,
because he's wearing a new jacket or something.
Todd is on the same level as Trump and George Santos in that regard.
He's one of those guys who lies so much,
if they actually ever stopped lying there'd just be nothing left.
They'd be an entirely different life form.

I think he would actually.
But it would need to be a less goofy Bond film.
The Daniel Craig era started off that way, perhaps even too much so,
but then by the end we were getting,
“I just showed someone your watch. It really blew their mind.”
with the strummed EmMaj9 chord.

It would have to be a return to the “gentleman spy” Bond of old,
not the action heroes in action movies we've had for so long now.
And for that reason, we'll never see it,
because the studios won't let it pass without at least 20 explosions.

It's only “volatile” when you're pushing out crap,
and/or not letting devs finish their games.
But they know all this already.

It was absolutely inevitable that every single greedy games company
would move towards the gambling/addiction exploitation direction.
In fact as far as I'm concerned it's the litmus test for morality.
