Seriously though, I hope you take some of the advice to heart, @ShinyLegendary. Some of us do actually have life experience here. Not everything worth doing comes easy, but if you don't keep trying, things won't change. You can't just lean on us for support while discarding the advice. Then you'll stay dependent indefinitely. If you're really serious you have to make an investment in self-improvement, and with that comes challenging your comfort zones. Take it little by little. You won't magically feel better overnight, that's just not life, but I believe you can do it.

And if you do, not only will you eventually start feeling better about yourself, you'll have a leg up on me at your age. My teenage years were just a bouquet of bad decisions.

its nice of sony to pay thoes people so well....

seriously you expect me to take any story driven game where you try to redeem kratos as anything more than shlock?
like kratos isnt even morally ambiguous hes down right the most overtly evil you can get with out being stereotypical

for more info on why this game has failed on the base level (because lets be real they toned down the combat to just be the last of us so thats already strike 1 if you dont agree with kratos being iredeemable) heres a video on why he is terrible

putting it in spoilers because A theres spoilers for a few of the older games and B strong language

Yeah, Sony is easily the best company to work for in Game Development. Sony Santa Monica, in particular, treats its employees wonderfully, paying them well above the standard rate and giving them plenty of time off, which allows a team of talented writers, artists and programmers to create such fantastic final products worthy of such high praise.

Oh, wait, you're trying to say the game is awful because you disagree with the premise. Carry on, then.

Although I won't be getting Dad of War initially at launch in favour of getting a Nintendo Labo Kit instead, it's nice to see this game get good scores.

And I'm hoping that they've managed to develop Kratos' personality and character than just rage incarnate. If that's going to be the case, I'll probably pick it up later in the year.

Sorry, I just need to rant Star Wars for a minute.

Spoiler

Kylo Ren is so fascinating to me as a study of a character but not in the way his stans expect. See here’s the thing in my opinion.

Kylo Ren has one and one thing in his favor and that is that Adam Driver is a talented actor.

Otherwise? He’s a horribly written man child of a bad guy throwing tantrums left and right and flip flopping like a vers bottom in a gay porn orgy in his emotions.

And somehow he has a massive following online. Some of which are the same people who belittled Anakin in the prequel trilogy.

When literally the only difference is that the actor behind the character is talented enough to take some really ****ty writing and at least make SOMETHING out of it. .

Perplexing me even more is that Kylo Ren is responsible for killing Han Solo and in a round about and indirect way Luke Skywalker.

Two of the most beloved and iconic Star Wars characters, let alone film characters.

And why? Like the motivation for this character isn’t even properly explained. Something Anakin wasn’t lacking.
But Ben Solo?

He literally is a villain because of a giant misunderstanding.

His turn to villainy and wanting to take over the galaxy is the equal of ‘‘My Uncle ate the last of the mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving dinner and now I won’t stop till everyone has payed!”

That's all we know. He woke up misunderstood Luke's moment of weakness and then promptly turned to the dark side. That and at some point before or after this Snoke approached him. But it's presumed or implied this moment is what turned him into what he is.

Yet there are people who worship him as this kicked puppy and think he’s worthy of this great redemption story and some epic enemies to lovers thing with Rey.

Nah. He don’t deserve **** but a death in Episode 9 and that’s it.

He could die in Episode 9, but I felt like his character could of used a little more development. That is just me.

Kylo Ren does have a lot of potential. They did good in Episode 8 in the film overall, so hopefully they good in Episode 9.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Not spoilering this one because it's important. Yep, we breaking traditions today, bois.

Oh..... sorry.

Instead of saying negative stuff about myself, here is how I will say it.

I really have a problem, as the problems I am having and the stress is bottling up in my emotion. I want to feel good, but I can not.

I think talking to your parents about it might be better.

They may or may not be more qualified than us, but they can do at least two things we can't;

1. Give you an actual hug
2. Seek for someone who can help you better

I do depend on you guys to get me through generally....

Which is not really the best decision considering you have parents who love and care about you.

They should be the ones helping you get through tough ****. Not us.

I do not need help. I just need encouragement.

No. You need help.

A professional who hopefully already helped someone with depression is going to be way more helpful than a few words of encouragement.

Help can guide you in the right way to stop your depression. Encouragements will only make you smile temporarily, then you'll be depressed again.

Of course, not saying the professional can cure you overnight, but it'd be much better than the temporary bursts of happiness you'd get from our compliments.

Ideally, both could be the best thing; you'd get someone guiding you to the right path and a few people making you smile along the way.

I do have some self-worth like when I do good in school, but I admit. I seek you guys for self-worth in general.

And then proceed to compare yourself to us, which only ends up hurting you even more... -_-

It is too difficult.
There are good people in school and home, but some others are nowhere near help.

Then why not, I dunno, talk to the good people?

It is going to be difficult, yeah, especially with Asperger's getting in the way to screw with your social abilities, but if you keep using excuses like "it's too hard" or "I have a disorder that makes it hard" (I know you didn't use the latter here, but I'd say it anyway just in case), you're not going to get anywhere.

Trust me on this; life is unfair, cruel, harsh and definitely loves to beat people up. If you want to get through it, you gotta try to make good things happen, dude. And you gotta do it within the reality you live in, with people you've seen in person, not with strangers on the Internet.

Life is not easy, Shiny, and it will be harder for you if you don't make the effort to be happy. And it starts with you, not us. You!

Spoiler

I think a lot of people misunderstand Kylo Ren. And I don't mean that as "he did nothing wrong". Kylo is indeed an unstable psychotic manchild, but that's his whole point.
He's a kid who got betrayed and latched on the first thing that could give him safety. He was much younger than Anakin was when the latter joined the Dark Side and it's obvious that didn't help him grow at all. Episode 8 also shows how Snoke treats him which, let's just say, is a lot less nicer than what Palpatine did to Anakin and the guy did try to make Luke kill him. In the end, Kylo went from a place he couldn't trust anymore to one where he was constantly mocked and abused.

The results is how he appears in the movies, throwing tantruns all over the place when things don't go his way, flipping because he had his fanboyism mocked and overall conflict of not really knowing what to do.

Him reaching out to Rey is an attempt to connect with someone, something he's been denied constantly, and which by the end of their Force Messaging, he sees herself in her: lost, conflicted and immature.
But then what happens? His trust gets "betrayed" yet again, at this point Rey has already decided where she belongs to and what she needs to do, but Kylo hasn't matured yet and is still hung over these issues and he sees her denial to accompany him as a betrayal. She was the one person he could relate to and she denied him. From his point of view, everyone in his life has betrayed his trust and this is what causes him to finally "decide" on what to do: destroy everything. At the end of the movie, all we see from him is him at his most angry and hateful.
He's a kid that never matured ever since that day with Luke, he's a kid that can only see how the galaxy has only ever betrayed him and now he wants to end it all.

Kylo serves as the perfect foil to Rey: both are kids who got delusional and lonely but that, thanks to certain circumstances, devided on two different paths, Rey decided to save the galaxy due to being helped by others and left the past behind so she could grow; while Kylo decided to destroy the galaxy due to being betrayed by others and carries everything from his past on his back, without trying to look forward to the future.

Eh. Even with the way you word Kylo. I still find him to be a weak sauce badly written villain. Especially considering he's the lead villain of this sequel trilogy.

Redemption should be off the cards for this guy. He shouldn't be awarded for his behavior. I mean especially now that it's most likely his cause is going to have kill his mother as well due to Carrie's unfortunate passing.

Do we really want the man child responsible for the OT3 being dead to be redeemed in the end? Like are we really saying ''You killed all my favorite characters, but it's okay you just had a few bad years. Pat pat. You're all better now though.

And I will NEVER buy Rey and Finn even remotely working with him. Rey has lost two men who were mentor figures to this little baby. If they legit try to sell me a story where she redeems this man and forgives him for what he did to Han and Luke and possibly Leia. The first and only parental figures she's ever had in her life. Hard pass. Very very very hard pass.

I don't see him getting redeemed. The Last Jedi did a 180 part way through and started doing its own thing, rather than retreading where the original trilogy went. I feel as if he's gone past the point of no return and all that's left is for someone to finish him off.

If it wasn't for the shift and Last Jedi continued with the original trilogy parallels, I'd could maybe see a Darth Vader like redemption. Now though, it's just not happening. Or at least not happening without reaching awful fanfiction levels of plot.

I do know some people who actually ship Rey and Kylo. **** why?

"You killed my father figure but you're just so dreamy, let's go out".

It's for the reasons I listed that I find him such a good villain.
Like, I won't try to justify his actions but he does have reasons for them and he's not a bland ass villain like Snoke was set up to be.

And while I don't want to apply literal Grandfather Clause here, it feels weird that Darth Vader, terrorizer of the galaxy, can be redeemed but Kylo can't. But I guess it's a result of them actually bothering to sympathize Kylo and it might as well be bad wroting on the original trilogy itself.

"Rey and Finn"
Love that typo lol

 

[PLATINUM7]

Spoiler

What the heck was up with Snoke anyway. I watched The Last Jedi hoping for some answers but they just discarded him like yesterday's trash.

Like who the **** was he? Where was he and who was he before the sequel trilogy? Where did he learn to become so acquainted with the dark side of the force? The list goes on.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Spoiler

Snoke not being explained was so dumb. Rian can go ''Well the Emperor wasn't explained originally" Well, yeah, but the Emperor had the luxury of that. He wasn't suppose to be his name applied all we need to know about him in the original story.

When you plop a highly sensitive force individual in a time where there aren't a lot of Jedi and Sith running around and have him be all powerful and have him turn a Skywalker child like Palpatine before him. You. Have. To. Explain. Him.

You can't just plop someone like that in the landscape of Star Wars as we know it now. Then kill him and go ''Oh well. It was always meant to be this way." Because nah, fam. It doesn't work that way.

Also what happened to the Knights of Ren? Who are they? Where did they come from? Connection to Kylo? Connection Snoke? The sequel trilogy's writing for it's villains all around is just gross.

 

[PLATINUM7]

My biggest complaint about the sequel trilogy, as much as I've enjoyed it so far:

Spoiler

Grevious underuse of R2-D2.

Star Wars movies are ranked on the amount of screen time he gets (proven PLATINUM7 fact) and the sequel trilogy just keeps fumbling around with who is perhaps the single greatest Star Wars character.

They had the perfect opportunity to rectify The Force Awakens R2 shortcomings in The Last Jedi and they completely blew it.

R2 is meant to save the day at least once each movie. He just serves to conveniently hand over the rest of the map at the end of Force Awakens, despite not doing so when first in proximity of BB-8. The Last Jedi just has him play a cheap shot on Luke to get him to stop being such an old fart and then nothing else.

George Lucas didn't recycle Japanese film characters story driving techniques into perhaps the most iconic robots in pop culture for nothing. At least C-3PO gets to bumble about as usual (and even then not as much as previous trilogies). But for ****s sake, USE R2. Have him do something and not just take a back seat to BB-8 the whole time. Yeah I like that they actually are giving the new characters the spotlight but R2 needs to be there too. It's pretty much the first thing in the Star Wars bible. Let there be R2 (and 3PO) and let him do **** that means something

End rant

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Spoiler

Yeah the lack of R2 is disheartening for sure.

Almost all of the originals have been neglected in the sequel trilogy. You know who else has it bad? Chewie.

There's so much potential to explore how he feels about Han's death, the conflicted feelings he'd feel over Ben/Kylo killing him, a child he was probably an Uncle too, him becoming irrationally angry and reckless, the others trying to hold him back, fully developing his relationship/new friendship with Rey, etc. So much you can do but instead because he's not a human character who speaks English Disney only seems interested in ''Well, he's cute. Let's stick him with the cute bird things and use him as humor."

He's not Jar Jar Binks. He had a small role in the original trilogy but at least there he felt like he mattered and what not.

They could literally be having him shine in The Last Jedi and this last film, but nope.

Spoiler

I was at least enthralled by Chewie going super saiyan after Han's death. I felt Abrams positioned a Rey and Chewie partnership up but it didn't realy pan out.

I do feel portraying his feelings about Han and Kylo is harder than it seems since he just growls and has some body language. Any actual thoughts have to be translated to us by another character.

Also, where the heck is Lando? His copilot from Return of the Jedi gets to come back but not Lando himself? Weird.

But the original characters taking a back seat, I feel makes sense to an extent and it's what was originally intended when Lucas first thought about Star Wars spanning 3 trilogies. He told Hamill back when making the orginal trilogy he'd need to reprise his role as Luke where he'd "pass excalibur onto a new generation". I certainly feel that's been achieved but I just always imagined that happening with R2 and 3PO maintaining their roles. They're always meant to be there, oddly driving and showing the story. I'd love to see them work with BB-8 as a trio and I certainly don't think the new droid ruins their dynamic. So far it just seems they can't write anything droid related without BB-8 doing it all by himself. I've welcomed BB-8 with open arms but a few times in The Last Jedi I was worried he was treading Scrappy levels. Him piloting a Chicken Walker followed by an awkward "yeah that just happened" close up comes to mind.

I hope Episode 9 can work all 3 droids into the plot better, bring Lando back and have Chewie be more prominent. Luke stepping back was an inevitability, his death not so much but at least if need be, he can be a force ghost. Han dying was shocking but I felt, a necessary and good twist to defy expectations. Leia is understanbly now gone but I felt she could have stayed had real life been more fortunate.

Also, I really liked Yoda coming back. Admiral Ackbar dying was odd, especially since we were informed through dialogue.

The old characters had their time to shine, I want to see new stuff from the Star Wars and not just reusing the same stuff we've seen for years.
This is a new trilogy for new characters, let them have their story without getting hold back by their predecessors

I would agree if major things weren't still happening to these characters. It's hard to have some of these events happen and then not see them react or have as much focus when its super important to the character.

Finally got my Wii U set back up again - a multi-day affair, as I also wanted to get my living room set back up for it. The whole reason I wanted it operating again? I **** you not, UFC Personal Trainer.

Now if you go on Metacritic, they'll politely inform you the game is a buggy, repetitive piece of ****. And it is. It is a buggy, repetitive piece of ****.

It's a buggy, repetitive piece of **** that got me in ****ing phenomenal shape several years ago.

It turns out the routines are solid, even if the detection's not. Fancy that. Used to work up a real sweat with it - although I admit I still couldn't tell you how to throw a proper punch or kick.

Third shift tech support job has me lounging about in front of a laptop at least 8 hours a day, five days a week. I've been lax and limp that whole time. It's hammered my mental acuity, my creativity, and my overall psyche.

Enough is enough. It's time to bring baller Red back.

Preliminary tests show my Wiimotes are in decent enough condition to register what the game's looking for. First easy routine shows it's certainly more difficult than it used to be, but I ain't fragile either.

I sense promise. Wish me godspeed.

Got 20k feathers, so it's time for this again. My 3rd poll.

I know there's something to be said for Arena bonuses, but other than that I have to ask.

Why is Anna an option out of this set?

Hello peeps.

God of War is getting glowing reviews.

One review, I wanna say IGN was basically like “the gameplay is repetitive and boring but it’s pretty so 8/10!”

Not gonna lie, Reinhardt and especially Olwen getting new versions of themselves that basically look the same as before except in a more dynamic pose is kinda lame. They don't even bring in anything very interesting. Fortunately I wasn't going to care about this banner regardless. It's good for me to lose interest in the game for a while.

Been trying some other games on my iphone, like Danmachi, SAO, Goddess Kiss, and they're okay. Helps keep me away from FEH more resulting in me being content with whatever I have. Also have Honkai Impact and MOE. There's a lot more gacha games than I had previously known. Gotta be careful not to be too distracted with my phone though. **** can start eating a lot of time without me realizing it.

FFRK's in the middle of their anniversary event.

If you're looking for something to jump in on, that's my vote.
