Cardiovorax posted:They were stupid enough to record that? I mean, geeze. There is a huge behind-the-scenes documentary that went alongside Phantom Menace, and it's uh, very revealing. It turns out the reason that they were stupid enough to record that is because (at least George Lucas) thinks he's a visionary genius, but it's very clear that he's completely incompetent and everyone around him just goes along with whatever he says because they're afraid of being kicked off the project just like every other collaborator Lucas had for the first three movies. So, the entire documentary is just Lucas saying insane things and everyone behind his back with a look of total dread on their face and then he turns around and they say "yeah, absolutely, great idea." The other scenes are reels of him sitting in a chair, watching the actors through a screen, and then yelling all the way over to them to give them instructions after the scene ends while the actors stare at him. The most famous line is Lucas saying "JarJar is the most important character in the movie. If JarJar works, the movie works" and...well, we all saw what happens with that. The final scene is everyone in Lucas's home theater watching the movie in dead silence with wide-eyes, and then Lucas says "Wow, we nailed it" and everyone says "yes" and starts clapping.

Simone Magus posted:Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is an upcoming Lego-themed action-adventure game scheduled to be released in early 2021 for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. It will be the sixth entry in TT Games' Lego Star Wars series of video games and the successor to Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The game will adapt all nine entries in the Skywalker saga series of films This’ll be good I think, they’ve gone back to the LEGO characters pantomiming instead of talking.

FlowerRhythmREMIX posted:I'm hurt that my recommendation alone isn't enough. I mostly recommended it because it is based around a group of student council students which is what was being discussed. The premise is around the two main protagonists being too stubborn to admit they like the other, and results in a lot of silly situations. Low stakes, lots of heart, and does a really great job of emphasizing how overdramatic teenagers are. well, I don't really watch TV that much these days, anime or otherwise. It's just not how I spend my time usually

I’d heard somewhere that Skywalker Saga was going to have voice acting as well. What’s also neat is that Phantom Menace through Force Awakens have apparently also been remade and aren’t just ports of the existing games. We still don’t have a concrete release date for that game yet do we? Though I will give LEGO Force Awakens credit for getting back most of the movie cast and for making Carrie Fisher (or a soundalike, I forget) say “Wookie cookie”.

Cardiovorax posted:drat. I mean, this is 100% in line with everything I've ever heard about the man, but it's still hard to believe in how much of a bubble he lives and works. Hell, the original trilogy only really worked because he had people back then that could tell him “no” and make adjustments to his scripts (though even by Return of the Jedi the cracks were starting to show a little).

Yeah, in the Ewoks you can already see shades of the Jar Jar to come. If there was a clear point at which Lucas decided that he was too important to have to listen to anyone else, that movie would be it.

Well Lego Indiana Jones was fun but I got to the final level of RotLA and the companion AI's bugging out and won't step on the switch I need them to step on and I don't have a second Wiimote so this is as far as I go I guess  I hate when a tech issue keeps me from completing a game I've started getting into

I also unironically like the gacha mechanic of XC2 because, for example, when I replay like, SMT games, I really struggle to not just use the exact same team every playthrough. Getting random party members helps keep things fresh and make you try new things and get attached to new party members.Rinkles posted:From what I've seen, I don't think I could stomach a game-full of those cutscenes Like I said, I skipped every single cutscene in the final few chapters. If/when I do a replay I'll just skip all of them, they suck. It's got great game design though. The open-world zones rule RazzleDazzleHour fucked around with this message at 21:13 on Mar 20, 2021 |

The cutscenes are very silly but I dunno, I found the game entertaining on pretty much all levels. Tora is unbearable but behind that I kinda liked the story for the silly fun it was.Cardiovorax posted:Isn't Chronicles 2 the gacha game? It has gacha-like mechanics but there's no way to spend real money on it. Functionally it's a way to give you random blades but with the "open the shiny thing to see what you get" aspect.

There's no gacha currency to begin with. Blade cores are items you find in the world and open to get random blades. You don't have to get a currency to buy them. You can spend real money on DLC that includes special unique blades, but those are all guaranteed and not part of the random blade core mechanic.

buying magic card packs sucks rear end, but opening them and seeing what you get is kind of exciting, and then having to make some kind of deck out of them is fun enough that there's an entire format of card game competition built around that idea

Yeah there's no actual way to spend real money on the game. The gacha cores are given out mostly in hidden treasure chests as a reward for exploration, or you can grind them post-game by killing bosses. One of the things I really like about the game, and I've said this a bunch, but the game has so many system like the gacha system and all the items/equipment, that it means there's a ton of rewards they can give you for doing various things that all feel relevant. Compare that to BotW where every Shrine is just gonna give you a spirit orb or maybe a piece of armor if you're really lucky, or a weapon that breaks after ten enemies. Looking at an environment and realizing there's a winding trail that leads to an open industrial pipe, so you go into town and find the buildings you need to climb up to reach the walkway to get there, to go through the pipe and equip a ton of +HP items so you can survive the drop all the way down to a secret zone that has a chest filled with Gacha tokens that you then use to pull a new party member is a genius bit of game design RazzleDazzleHour fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Mar 20, 2021 |
