So like, obviously it’s fair to still be mad about the Armenian genocide or fall of the USSR. So I’m more looking for little things most people ignore but You’re hung up on for one reason for another.
I.e, my salt would be
● EA buying the developer of dungeon keeper and turning it into a crappy mobile game (I know someone made their own version like the old ones but still)
●In fact actually just the fact that big studios bought up a bunch of immersive Sim IPs and then killed them, either remaking them worse of draining them of all their original charm (Deus Ex, thief, prey*
I know prey got a good remake but that was 90% unrelated to the original prey and Bethesda got that by specifically killing the company making prey despite the fact that they had a functioning product)
●Subscription services being everywhere
● JJ Abrams in general and his stupid mystery box specifically
●Disney in general, and that their live action remakes are such a hit despite being so garbage
● The really annoyingly pervasive idea that a writer is in conflict with their reader and needs to beat them/not care about them (i.e, Emil Pagliarulo’s paper airplanes, Steven Moffats obession with besting the audience in his Sherlock remake, Alex Aster’s obsession with trying to make sure people won’t predict her twists in her Lightlark series, etc.)
●The fact that I’m always told to “just use uber” when I say I don’t like having to drive when it’s both stupid expensive and the company is the bane of my existence
●Philanthropy
(Yes part of this post was just me venting, sorry)
I genuinely enjoyed some of the class stories, but even at their best, they felt held back by the MMO shell for me. I don’t begrudge anyone liking it though, preferences are preferences. I’ve had times I sunk quite a bit of time into because it was close enough to KOTOR vibes, but I also got burned multiple times by bugs and bad management and unwanted changes all around. And yeah, KOTFE was… well, jeez, I could get into a whole thing about that alone lol. I don’t think the story of it was bad exactly, but it threw out so much of what was already there, took forever to get it back, and the gameplay was padded to hell with never-ending fights to stretch a little bit of story into something longer.
My primary problem with KOTFE is that the story seems to believe that my Consular wouldn’t wipe the floor with Vaylin and Arcann. I fight demons motherfucker, you think I’m scared of those kids!?!?
That’s a fair point. One of the problems of them mushing all of the class stories together. Classes like Smuggler get scaled up in power and classes like Consular get scaled down.
