LORD OF BUTT posted:Really? The major beats seemed pretty constant throughout, it just got really confusing when they threw in time fuckery (unsurprisingly). The lore of World of Warcraft is pretty simple. It conflicts with the earlier games a lot though.

Aphrodite posted:The lore of World of Warcraft is pretty simple. It conflicts with the earlier games a lot though. Even WoW no longer makes any sense, and it's not all from time travel. Just... every piece of new content was slightly contradictory to the old stuff, and it piled up to the point that nothing in Vanilla is really canon anymore... which seems like a bad plan if you want people to get invested in your world.

Warcraft was originally meant to be a Warhammer game but they couldn't get the license so they just changed the names. Of course they later changed a lot of things like instead of the Orcs being fungus-people who live for the sole purpose of fighting war they're noble savages from outer-space.

They actually had the license for a short while, but then Games Workshop got uncomfortable with someone creating an actual good game out of their properties, and promptly pulled out. And then Blizz proceeded to eat their lunch for the next twenty years.

Which might be why their current approach to video game adaptation is to allow basically whoever the gently caress wants the license to get it. Which is why there are like 10 million Warhammer games currently in development. Some of the games actually look like they could be could although I'm pretty sure the Total War one not being called Total Warhammer is the biggest crime in history. Actually on topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMFFyZzi-Bo A video about Nicolas Winding Refn's new coffee table book of (s)exploitation posters.

Here's a bunch of character posters for Force Awakens:     I think they're rather hit and miss; Finn and Kylo's work well because their sabers lend themselves well to this style of composition, but that's not so much the case with Han and Rey's weapons. Leia's poster looks nice, though.

Lollin' at the Han Solo one. Just looks like a confused old man who doesn't realize he's messing up the picture. The progression from lightsaber to green lens flare-type thing for Leia seemed clever, but then the Han one looks like a parody.

Also I think Han's is made from two shots. The angles don't seem to match up. I'm guessing' is so they could have a bit more "head" on the left side of the blaster, but it's throwing me off. edit: Actually I could be wrong and it could be the fact that his nose is facing a different angle from the rest of his body. Good lord is that a photoshop or does he have a wonky nose and I've just never noticed?

Is Leia now Oracle? Is she in the Matrix? Or wait is she like basically Mon Mothma now? That would be cool (I should catch up)

Aw man, I actually feel bad for people who will be excited about a Kickboxer sequel or reboot or whatever that is. There is just so little hope that it will be good, even on the "actually not good" level of the original. But some poor souls will still be lured in by the power of nostalgia, only to face bitter disappointment...
