Banjo or not, it looks ok enough to slightly catch my attention.

Hopefully it isn’t Sea Of Thieves 2.0. doh.

That’s bad sci-fi. Good sci-fi is like Star Trek where they consult actual scientists and write explanations for things that at least make sense. And with aliens, to justify their villainy, good sci fi creates complex cultures and social tradition to explain it.
Idk girl, when Star Wars tried to science The Force it was hated by literally everyone. Would that make the old trilogy bad as The Force is a thing?

Same thing is true for good fantasy works, really.

Genre isn't equal to writing quality.

Well you see when you try to explain away the cool magic of your universe it simply makes it less interesting and cool. (Looks at how people go Super saiyan)

In my opinion, yes. I LIKE the midochlorians. I like that there’s an explication for it beyond just “strong faith makes you telekinetic”. I don’t like the prequels, but I like that they tried to explain it.

Also, the original Star Wars trilogy isn’t all that great either, don’t at me.

Well, at least that horrible Sonic design was necessary for the creation of this work of art.
Slightly off-topic but I'm surprised there are people that still believe the conspiracy theory about Paramount holding off the new model as a publicity stunt. Tyson said they literally just built a new design from the ground up and added it in place of the eldritch hellbeast abomination.

They even had merch of the old design which would be a waste of resources.

All of these boring Xbox announcements...

when I just want to know when Reach joins the MCC.

I might have class when they announce it though, so mention me if a date is announced.

Super Saiyans stopped being impressive since everyone including literal children were able to do it, the **** are you on about?

I don't care much for Star Wars but it's the most wellknown example of scifi these days for a reason

This Sci-fi/Classic Fantasy talk reminds me of the talks at the Marvel Database Discord regarding whether or not magic is real in the current canon of Marvel comics.

Those were fun.

Meanwhile on r/xboxone, everyone is complaining about how the X019 show has too many games with graphics that are "cartoony"...

Just another day huh?

There was very poor reception at the test screening before the first trailer was posted online so the new design was likely planned way before

Honestly, XBOX is pretty much known for super graphic games already, makes sense why they would argue against that.

Not saying they are in the right, thou.

Here's my problem with X019, I don't want a developer coming on to explain to me what a kart racer is, just play a bunch of trailers and let them speak for themselves.

Now they're happy about some game called "Yakuza"

Apparently it's going to Xbox or something...

What have they shown so far? I haven’t watched because I had an exam.
That new Rare game, a new game from the Life is Strange devs, KartRider, Grounded from Obsidian (basically Honey I Shrunk the Fortnite), Jedi Fallen Order, Project XCloud, Fortnite season 2, Drake Hollow, I may have missed something.

Edit: Oh, and Yakuza.

Ah.

I’m glad I’m not watching live because I’d just be dissapointed and crying by now.

Is the show still going?

Five Nights At Freddy’s 4 has been added to Nintendo’s website. Along with it, we also got a new render of Nightmare Balloon Boy.

I love Nightmare Balloon Boy, if not for his voice alone.

There's one game that looks like it was made by the guy who did Hellboy
Remember what it was called?

We’re almost there friends! Now we just need Sister Lovation, Pizzeria Simulator, and Ultimate Custom Night (hope the last two are free like on steam). Maybe FNaF world if we’re lucky.

I only mentioned that the new design was built from the ground up which is what Hesse said. Nothing exactly implying that it couldn't have been planned in advance.
Still the fact the director actually listened to the criticism from the fans is something. Gotta give a little credit which is why I'll give the movie a look.
I forgot to respond the other day but since we're talking about the movie I'm gonna have to say no; it still looks like a very generic movie.

I don't owe the studio any money for fixing a problem that they created for themselves out of stupidity in the first place.
