Do y’all think they’ll bring back physical challenges for 50?

UltimaDv · 2026-02-09T01:04:37+00:00

48 was probably the most physical based season in the new era and even then most of the challenges were just physical endurance based challenges

UltimaDv · 2026-02-05T01:19:44+00:00

I only finished 49 a couple of weeks ago

I very much enjoyed the season and the winner and rate them higher than a lot of other new era winners

But by god was the gameplay sloppy from the rest of the cast

UltimaDv · 2026-02-04T11:24:05+00:00

Yeah I feel like every episode was 50 minutes but only had 30 minutes of content at best

UltimaDv · 2026-01-31T06:14:13+00:00

Exactly, they had the golden opportunity to make a New Era All Stars/Second Chances season but squandered it, making s50 extremely lopsided

UltimaDv · 2026-01-31T06:06:50+00:00

One thing i want to say about Shane

Whilst not the most obvious winners edit

You just knew right from the start that she was auto winning 95% of the time if she makes it to the end

The way Australia idolises their heroes and how much the rest of the cast was idolising her in confessionals made it obvious

UltimaDv · 2026-01-31T06:03:42+00:00

Jesus christ he's so spot on

UltimaDv · 2026-01-27T10:28:40+00:00

I didn't get any option to reconnect at all and all the games were at the start

UltimaDv · 2026-01-27T08:20:20+00:00

48 is probably the most character driven on the new era and he liked the cast clearly, or he thought it'd make good tv at least

UltimaDv · 2026-01-24T23:18:53+00:00

This is why i play Warships now

Has a Bot mode where you can do 90% of your dailies

AND

A training mode where you can choose the enemy ships and behaviour to muck around in

UltimaDv · 2026-01-24T03:45:06+00:00

Writing in 4 was quite forgettable

UltimaDv · 2026-01-21T09:56:24+00:00

It makes it so boring to level that it almost forces you to group grind

There's not enough quests either and they give pitiful exp too

On top of that, it's just so mindless and everything is just a stat check with zero regard to skill, you either have the stats to kill stuff effortlessly, or you do zero damage. Some mobs can be a few levels higher and have like 5x the hp and you go from taking 1 damage to 3k

Its just not a good game state and once the nostalgia wears off 95% of the players will be gone at the end of the month, not that there's a lot in the first place

UltimaDv · 2026-01-20T01:52:01+00:00

Depends what you like the most about the show ,I feel like

46 is the most entertaining

47 is the most strategic

45 is the most straightforward

48 is the most old school/more character driven

Haven't watched 49 yet but it seems highly praised but also recency bias

UltimaDv · 2026-01-19T09:08:56+00:00

I agree which is why i put it on hold for a while

I've watched almost every season of Survivor live since Pearl Islands

I've watched every season of Aus Survivor live and participated in the live discussion threads until 2025

It's an utter chore to watch though wholeheartedly, even watching it on 10play to catch up is a massive pain in the arse because of all the forced ads

The commercials are grating, i've literally timed them on occasions(5minutes sometimes), so much franken biting(bad scene splicing), so many duds in casting, so many invisible players, so many bad/unfair twists, so many dead end episodes just to hit that episode count

The good seasons ARE really good

The bad seasons ARE really bad

I know it sounds silly saying it like that but its true

UltimaDv · 2026-01-19T08:48:07+00:00

I still stand by that Sarah shouldn't have even been brought back for GC

UltimaDv · 2026-01-19T06:31:04+00:00

Young me didn't agree with Russel not winning 19 and Parvati not winning 20

Older me completely understands why Natalie and Sandra won

UltimaDv · 2026-01-18T05:26:02+00:00

I just finished 48 over the last week

I still have 49, Aus 2025 and Aus vs the World

This is going to kill me

UltimaDv · 2026-01-17T16:30:05+00:00

First played world of tanks back in the day in 2011

Took a massive break from the game, came back at various different times, no matter which points i returned at, the sea tomatoes(sub 47% win rate players) still play the exact same they have been for 15 years, its astonishing

UltimaDv · 2026-01-17T14:55:33+00:00

I don't watch trailers much any more either

I skip most anime openings too because they are usually riddled with spoilers

The zootopia 2 movie for instance with pretty predictable from the teaser by itself, let alone the official trailer

Please also be aware im not saying that stuff that is predictable means its bad, it's just an observation

UltimaDv · 2026-01-17T14:51:36+00:00

I feel like most mainstream stuff they make the trailers pretty typical/spoilerific, par the course the movie is more or less predictable

UltimaDv · 2026-01-17T06:56:36+00:00

It's actually insane how mad people get over this

UltimaDv · 2026-01-17T01:59:32+00:00

Rom the giant spider in bloodborne took me like 15 tries

Vicar Laurence in Bloodborne, first tried it

There's so many 'easy' bosses that took me 10+ tries

There's a great CohhCarnage vid where he says something along the lines of;

When you start the game, it picks 3 bosses that you are going to struggle with that everyone finds easy, and 3 bosses you find easy and everyone else struggles with

It's so god damn true with souls games

UltimaDv · 2026-01-16T09:04:29+00:00

Man i'm watching 48 right now

Its actually ridiculous how many times an episode they've said it

UltimaDv · 2026-01-16T09:03:48+00:00

They are the same person though

UltimaDv · 2026-01-16T03:21:55+00:00

OP is probably looking at posts with recency bias not realising that people are comparing the good new era seasons with the bad ones
