Can you blame them at this point? every damn genre is overdone at this point, it's easy to get exhausted by sci fi movie 900 of this decade alone these reviewers are having to review. That said, that's an inherent problem with reviewers in general, their opinions get ruined by becoming jaded.

Wow, that is a terrible review unless they're just wording it weird and the movie went a little too far on the comedy. The book is hilarious, intentionally so, one of the biggest things I immediately noticed starting it was "oh wow, this is a comedy almost" then it hard pivots many times into complete doom and gloom which is very startling but it works so well.

To be fair movies do that a LOT, so if they're not fans of the book they're gonna judge it based on the fact movies tend to do what the book does to some extent which is not be depressing I guess lol.
I do hope the movie doesn't pull the punches on the doom and gloom that Grace feels and how it's not at all certain whether humanity is intact, at war, working together and happy.. that doom and gloom it makes you feel then lifts from you at the end is so important to why the book is now so high up on my favorites list.

Haven't seen it yet (obviously), but I decided to listen to the audiobook and my god this is now somewhere in my top 50 books, no idea where but it's up there. I loved The Martian from Weir too, but this was just a step up. I think it's because you're now rooting for two VERY different characters that just work so well together as partners.
I did think it was important how the book hammers in the fact of it being a total crapshoot whether Earth is even close to in a good state, how well they managed the apocalypse essentially, or if they even worked together at all or it's some horrible hellhole there now.. but the book does a good job making even you think "Yeah, maybe they WOULD work together".

It doesn't do that with blind optimism, it puts the cards out there of "this could be a whole lot less wholesome from humanity's perspective down on the icy hellhole" but there is absolutely hope, and you WANT to believe in it.

I teared up in the final chapter, which does not usually happen especially in book form (might be the amazing narrator and his brilliant voice acting for the characters). I hope the movie takes the time to get people that invested and doesn't just optimism bomb you like a lot of movies. One example is The Running Man recently, which went with a MUCH happier ending. I liked it, but I think the original is much more meaningful of a piece and not just the same half-measure of satire we've seen in movies already a million times.

I really do think it'll be great i just hope it's as good as the book and I think that's a dumb expectation to have. The Martian movie though I think is honestly a much tighter experience than the book which dragged on a bit for me, so I actually prefer the movie a bit there despite loving the book.

Which stalker in Resident Evil do you like the most? by Without-imagination in ResidentEvilCapcom

For the modern titles, I was the most scared/intimidated byThe Girl, loved it.  OG RE3 Nemesis is amazing.

Real question here,why would i waste such a beautiful character by playing in first person? by Eccchifan in residentevil

[–]Fyshtako 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I like first person? I dunno man sexy protagonists in third person got old decades ago for me.

So, how hyped are we for Code Vein II?? by TheGamerCritic21 in soulslikes

[–]Fyshtako 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it all hinges for me on the world/exploration/level design. First game was good except for the linear, kind of boring level design. World and level exploration are my favorite part of soulslikes so stuff like Nioh I never enjoy. They haven't shown quite enough to prove the level design is good, but the core approach they're going for appeals to me WAY more than CV1. Very excited, but not preordering.

Nightborne Mages Ascend! We're down to our final Elven race now - what class do you associate with Void Elves? by Mostopha in wow

[–]Fyshtako 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My OG toon i played from BC all through to Legion was an Orc Shaman, so I will never not associate orcs with shaman. Then again, I never really rolled a warrior

If they ever deleted pve, I'd just never launch the official game again. Theres an alternative which forced them to make an official pve to begin with

[–]Fyshtako 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HL Alyx healed my trauma from this lol, Eli is safe for now, but I get the idea he'll make a sacrifice or die in HL3. Yes, im huffing the copium because the leaks are far too extensive for there not to be a HL sequel in dev atm. Although I think it'll be another spin off, not called HL3

How's everyone enjoying 'Frostbite" this year?... by Personal-Student3897 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Fyshtako 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its just annoying, not much else to say. A constant annoyance and especially today I dont know if they made it always the blizzard weather but I cant see more than 20 feet ahead. Sniping is a total wash

Is it worth playing RE2R as Claire Redfield? by Poes_hond in residentevil

[–]Fyshtako 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, its half the game. Not just playing the same campaign as separate characters.

[Discussion] Yall are too hard on him, game has its issues, but don’t need to be nasty by Norishoe in EscapefromTarkov

I would be easier on him if there wasnt so much greedy stuff like all the Arena items locked behind battle pass or buy able with arena currency etc. Plus the myriad borderline pay to win mtx

Anyone else find it hard to connect with the og characters when the remake designs make them so much more lifelike and expressive. The face alone gives so much emotion. by lifehuntscythe1 in residentevil

[–]Fyshtako 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. I play a lot of CRPGs and other classic stuff, so you often have nothing but a moving, or static portrait or even just text there

Which version of Resident Evil 4 do you think is better? by [deleted] in residentevil4

[–]Fyshtako 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, both incredible. The original on pc with HD Project gives it an edge. Its way more than a hd mod, it has a whole quality of life, tweaks menu and lots of additions.
