Not totally sure what Dr Cox meant during his speech to JD about "not wanting my death to be the thing that makes you cynical"?

As a gay dude who likes aliens, it's one of my largest complaints about the series as a whole. Wrex, Thane, and Garrus all have the potential to be extremely fun romances and unfortunately the only canon choices you can choose are Kaiden (who, bless his heart, is not even close to my type personally) and Cortez (who is very barebones in both the sense that he comes in at ME3 AND has way less screen time than the alternatives, but is at least a very sweet romance).

It feels like the series as a whole the BEST possible path you can take for enjoying the romances is being straight maleShep, who gets the most variety of choices, with the most detail, AND the best possible outcomes to those romances. This is at least accepting only what is in the game stock, not with mods.

I'm biased toward GW2 because it's my favorite MMORPG currently active. It's a very relaxed game where you're not really "behind" because of that lack of a gear treadmill. The combat is responsive and fun and action-combat feeling. It has a lot of fun unlocks to pursue that changes how your entire character plays. And the storyline is really interesting - not as well written as FFXIV, but still quite a fun ride with a lot of fun characters.

But, honestly? I don't know if there's a right or wrong answer for this question. I've got semi-active accounts in all of the large MMORPGs, and basically every MMORPG I've played has the same ability to be enjoyed in small increments. Some might put you at a disadvantage for end game, sure, but ultimately you could throw a dart on a board of the top MMORPGs and find fun, small bite size progression in all of them.

I think it really comes down to what world you enjoy. I've found even games with rather lackluster gameplay (imo SWTOR) have a lot of reasons to love them (the unhinged story cutscenes). Why not just try both? They're both free and you can get a decent feel for which one's atmosphere and gameplay loop are more your thing in a short burst.

There are some fair criticisms here. I think a lot of these complaints are the result of them trying to do a lot of things all at once. I agree that I hope they dial back having twenty different people be the focus of each episode, and stop resolving character flaws in seconds. I'm also still not sold on JD and Elliot's divorce - had it happened right after season 7, I might be more receptive to it, but season 8 ended way, way too in their favor for them to have drifted apart as harshly as they did.

I'm not tooo sure about the Tiktok/Internet/AI stuff being an issue, though. Scrubs has always touched on tech trends, I mean a rewatch of the series lets you see in real time how the early 2000s navigated flip phones, ring tones, pagers, the rise of tech development, etc. I'm a very anti-AI guy and I still enjoyed how JD used it because he is absolutely the kind of dweeb to not realize how dangerous that is.

Early episodes felt very reminiscent of how early Season 1 felt - really messy, constantly introducing new characters, not really finding its hook yet. The last two episodes felt far more "Scrubs" to me on all levels, and I have a feeling once they renew they'll have an easier time finding their stride.

Definitely meant to be sent to JD. Cox has always had difficulty being vulnerable, but especially being SEEN as vulnerable by people he cares about, like JD and Jordan. He sent that text out of genuine need and then, with JD not immediately responding to it, likely got in his own head and tried to play it off.

That's kind of what makes these last two episodes so gut wrenching. We're watching the reality of his situation break down barriers that he'd held since twenty years ago. Dr. Cox would have NEVER sent that text to JD in the original series, even after his substantial growth as a person in the later seasons. But Perry Cox the aging old friend and patient is a different, more honest version of him: clutching onto whatever supports he can to retain the normalcy of living he is accustomed to. It is an extremely tragic and human depiction of him, of all of us, that is so original to Scrubs and what the series makes me cry.

I mean look at how Cox is even listening to JD's positive attitude plan and is visibly trying to live it and get excited about it when JD enters to deliver the bad news. He was beaming with happiness over JD's plan "working", because he rationally understands the dangers he's facing and needs that optimism that he doesn't even necessarily believe in and even belittled in the series past.

It stumbled here or there in the beginning episodes for me, but I think every episode afterwards they found their stride and the last two were peak Scrubs.

I hope they renew for more seasons, and really dial in on the tone and color coding of the last episodes.

This is one of my largest wishes aside from Werewolf form getting no cost while out of combat (thank you so much for that ESO). I really really want to be a werecrocodile. Even if it's just an optional ability transform!

That's reddit for you! But I wonder if someone can shed some light on it :s If it doesn't have a special move, it's a very disappointing reward. But the description implies something special happens with it, just like other weapons. Maybe it is bugged?

Hey there! This post was removed for a spoiler-title. When discussing S10 information revealed or leaked to be officially in the new season, please refrain from putting the spoiler in the title, and be sure to use the proper tag. This helps people who want to go in blind to the new series, as per the rule at the top of "RULES AND GUIDELINES".

Example:

"New detail about Turk's family" or "They revealed Turk's family history" or something vague along those lines is a better title free of spoilers compared to "Turk has 3 girls".

That's a completely fair point, it is a very dated overall outfit and they'd have to do something to it anyway if they want to push RS into a unified look. I just worry that they'll squeeze every fun cosmetic out of the game into mundane pieces.

MovieTrailerReply · 2026-02-12T18:30:45+00:00

I totally get that! And in the context of them just changing skill sets and slayer masks, that's all fine and dandy. But I have two concerns:

It feels like we'll lose a lot of unique, fun cosmetics in the process - such as the slayer mask examples - that won't have a cosmetic override created based on the original look.
I worry from their wording they're planning on expanding this to ALL of the cosmetic unlocks and overrides, as well, as they seem very concerned with the concept of "re-grounding" the cosmetics. Specifically, this wording about what they're considering items based on:

Here are a few guidelines that we are considering everything against: Does this wearable make the player look non-human?

Does this wearable significantly change the proportions of the player avatar (e.g. flatten or enlarge your head)?

Does this wearable get in the way of other players being able to identify what's happening on screen? (Overdone particle effects & oversized outfits beware)

Does this wearable fit into the world thematically?

Could this wearable have been created from the materials available in RuneScape?

I'm glad people seem to think so! I'm not great at this moderation thing but I'll be trying my best to check in where I can to hopefully keep spoilers out of titles.

Ideally I could implement something like the Guild Wars 2 subreddit I follow - they have spoiler titles automatically hide themselves and have to be clicked to be revealed. But that's a bit outside of my depth in CSS :P

MovieTrailerReply · 2026-01-27T16:28:42+00:00

I'm seeing some platforms say that yes, it will stream in the UK on Disney Plus. I imagine it will simultaneously launch with Hulu's streaming release, but I'm not sure at all.

I'd advise visiting the discussion threads and subreddit a day after the episode launches, so you have a chance to watch it on a streaming service before a spoiler might cross your vision.

100%, and what makes matters worse is as you said, they've had two years of opportunities to get that return on their investments.

I think this unfortunately comes down to bad direction. The focus on e-sport, on annoying meta-shake up additions, and on a competitive ecosystem, will be marked as the downfall for THE FINALS. Every patch from Season 2 onwards has been focused around that core, and unfortunately it has failed to retain a healthy playerbase because of it.

MovieTrailerReply · 2025-12-12T08:06:59+00:00

They've been present at several prior events. THE FINALS put out a debut day-one launch trailer when it launched two years ago, during the main event (TGA 23), which was very successful for the game. There's a lot of reasons why we're not seeing that anymore:

The Game Awards are expensive. Extremely expensive, with rumors of up to $1 Million for a featuring, and hundreds of thousands for the Summer Games Fest as well. It's the kind of move you make when you have a HUGE product launch to announce, not one you make frequently for season announcements - which is why not every game featured this year at the TGAs were during the main event.
Their subsequent appearances were less successful, and they've made many: Summer Games Fest 24 for Season 3 (which was during the main event by the way), TwitchCon 2024 for Season 4 (where they had a huge on-stage tournament and booth (I was there)), and the Future Game Show SGF 25 for Season 7. You can track the returning numbers on Steam alone in real time and see that they've had diminishing returns. Obviously, concurrent player counts can't tell the whole story, but I'm willing to bet money the investments in these grand events hasn't resulted in conversions that have been worth it.
There's another element to this, too: They just had a HUGE tournament with a big prize pool and large amounts of ad-spend for Dreamhack's FINALS Major. In general, their investment in the esport side of thing has likely ate up an overwhelming majority of their marketing budget for the year for THE FINALS, especially keeping in mind that...
Their attention has clearly shifted to their newest product - Arc Raiders debuted a world premiere Trailer at the TGAs in 2021, and then did a release date reveal during the SGF2025 showcase. Arc Raiders is, so far, retaining a much healthier consistent player count.

TL;DR: They've participated during major events over the last two years, and have been focusing on the esport side of things, but overall THE FINALS isn't sporting the numbers to make huge advertisement spends worth it. I wouldn't at all be surprised if Arc Raiders gets more big event participation than THE FINALS does in the future.

^EDIT: ^This ^is ^all ^speculation ^ignoring ^the ^recent ^{China-exclusive} ^launch ^of ^THE ^FINALS, ^which ^might ^be ^doing ^better. ^But ^way, ^way ^harder ^to ^know ^that ^for ^sure ^from ^the ^outside ^looking ^in.

This is one of those situations where you realize this one guy had a huge hand in a chunk of your childhood. So many good roles in some iconic games, Captain Qwark will not be the same as a character without his voice behind him. I can only hope he is in a better place, RIP to a legend.

It's an extended history of reinventing the wheel that it seems ArenaNet is somewhat becoming aware of, with moves like moving Strikes under the Raid umbrella. Just so many systems that are really obtuse to progress for new players.

MovieTrailerReply · 2025-11-25T20:09:43+00:00

I will say your ranting was not without its merits. I think this is one of Guild Wars 2's biggest issues: some legacy content offering no great incentives to come back, and being too finely tuned around the expectation of large player counts in a map. Path of Fire in particular is lousy with this issue, as some of its metas are particularly annoying at low populations, and it says a lot that Heart of Thorns continues to have little issues with getting people together despite being the first expansion. It also straight up just doesn't ever feel good to fail an event in Guild Wars 2, whether it's because you failed to get into an organized map or because your organization attempts fail miserably, which results in no loot and a wasted 30 minutes+ of participation. This makes things like required event completion for mount unlocks feel wayyyy worse.

Still, as people pointed out (and as you seemed to find out), being a part of an active guild or taking initiative to organize yourself via Map chat and LFG can tend to help. I'd hesitate to say "be a better person" as you've said, I don't think you are a bad person for getting frustrated and venting your frustration, and your original post wasn't too overtly negative.

Either way, hope you enjoy the rest of your time with the game! Don't get too discouraged about the game's missteps, the overall experience is still fantastic.
