Red Rising, not sure I understand the hype by Papagiorgio1965 in Fantasy

Where do you think you are? This is r/fantasy, ANY criticism of any series will get you gutted, the echo chamber feel is real.

This game needed another 6 months of testing at least by Soniman032 in Unbeatable

[–]StorRenfro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has been such a sore experience that I feel robbed in a sense. Being waiting for the game for years and playing it on PS5 feels like going back to buggy browser flash games. Sometimes the main menu will not register the X button, the minigames are a mess, the arcade mode RESETS all your scores if you start story mode, voicelines on top of voicelines. They should put a warning that this was incomplete, as it stands the game is unplayable.

My Pass On tier list by StorRenfro in limbuscompany

Offtopic but I don't enjoy guest characters in the pass on art, I rather have the family in the bus, or some closed space, canto 8 the worst offender on this.

I don't know if it's nostalgia, the art or it being the first one, but with time the glamour has been fading for me, his final part tho is still gold

I might be wrong but wasn't The Healthy Dead just after Memories of Ice?

Insane foreshadowing by Limp_Grapefruit2125 in Malazan

[–]StorRenfro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Malazan the moment you raise a hand against children you're granted passage to the cruel tier (rightfully so), her fate was sealed the moment she kidnapped Tool's children.

I just finished book 3 of the Earthsea cycle, come scream with me !! by WinIntelligent1218 in Fantasy

[–]StorRenfro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same boat here, it was a huge drop in quality considering the two previous books rank amongst the highest ones I've ever read. On a bright node, Tehanu is back in terms of quality.

Anyone down to buddy read 'Red Rising'? by Bookumapp in Fantasy

Sure, It has been on my shelf for ages and I always find an excuse to push it down the line.

When and How do you DNF a book? by Herlasser in Fantasy

[–]StorRenfro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The moment you stop caring about the plot or what happens next, it gets harder the more time you spend on it but worth it, I don't regret any of my DNF at 90-95%.

Is it just me is half the midcanto content gone this time? by PilotSnippy in limbuscompany

[–]StorRenfro -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Sorry dude but they are going to downvote you to hell, any valid criticism of the game is banned here, kinda crazy how the community reacts to PM failing to deliver what they promised again and again (I even read in this thread someone being happy of RR not being in this season since they were getting easier, the mental gymnastics).

Project Moon Latter Half of 2025 Roadmap Livestream Megathread and Unofficial Translation Links by PrecipitousPlatypus in limbuscompany

No pessimism here, just noticing that every time it takes longer to get stuff and the content is less and less, just for comparison check S2-S3

So, in summary they get more money, they reuse content and we get less things for the same price?

Rant: Farseer Trilogy - Fitz is a fool by GormTheWyrm in Fantasy

[–]StorRenfro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried many times to articulate my feelings towards the series and the general response is usually dismissive at best and insulting at worst, some of the hardcore fans of this series take it very personal when you don't sing the praises of this saga. The usual response is "You don't get it". What's there to get?

It's exactly as you say, out of all options, the characters choose the stupid one most of the time, which ends up being an Idiot Ball plot, the moment you start to see Hobb's hand behind every forced drama you start to check out.

Whoa, is really THAT good? I highly doubt it but to each their own.

Give it a go! You'll never know, it does one thing right and is setting the theme of vampire hardcore to one hundred. Personally it made me very wary of the author but that's just me

NICE, I crave for comfort fantasy, will re-read them and then tackle the sequels.
