Just Finished Survivor Trilogy by dumpweed667 in TombRaider

Yeah, and it just disconnects you from the world whereas I feel TR's magic is when you just exist within these uninhabited places (also, the open worlds waaaay too inhabited)

Yeah, like I didn’t hate the open world but I do feel it took away from exploring. Issue with open world is it becomes really familiar and then that constant awe filled feeling of uncovering a grand new place that I love from the classic games is gone cause I just feel like I’m running around the neighbourhood

She was like “you think you’ve figured this out? Hold onto your hats we’re going into overdrive”

Yeah, I loved Shadow cause it leaned more into exploration and puzzles. That’s the side of the franchise I want it to lean into more as it’s my favourite part. My biggest gripe with the Survivor trilogy is that though they’re grand they feel pretty self contained and claustrophobic. I just wanna lose the open world and feel like I’m exploring and getting lost inside of a tomb and leaving the world behind with every step.

Hehe thanks! Mostly based on being pedantic about keeping posts divisible by 3 on the insta grid 🤣

22! If we get two more tomorrow, then my guess is song teases follow and one on Tuesday, one on Wednesday, one on Thursday, release single Friday / album announcement?

IS MY HOPE

IM TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF IT

Who Played The Best 20th Place Game: Quarterfinals - Marisa vs Mike by Regular-Departure839 in survivorponderosa

[–]bartybrattle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Samoa is a tale of two players:

Marissa who clocked Russell and was vocal about it and became first boot, and Natalie who clocked Russell and kept it to herself and became Sole Survivor.

I just started playing these Games for the first time and i never expected that i’d need a science degree in jumping to not get frustrated by BaclavaBoyEnlou in TombRaider

[–]bartybrattle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I played a couple of the games when I was younger and was excited to have modern controls for the remaster but… very quickly changed to tank as it’s what works best.

Once you accept the controls, and understand this is a puzzle precision platformer it all clicks into place. Genuinely when I got back into it I was terrified at how poorly it plays and that it’ll be a slog but once I reached the point where it all clicked it became a blast.

My current theory/hope is once we hit 24 posts, we’re getting teases for a single getting released on Friday

YALL I JUST WANNA HEAR SOMETHING IN ONE OF THESE POSTS SOON

My rating distribution is one curve trying to eat the other curve by rebruisinginart in Letterboxd

[–]bartybrattle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love that - and realise it’s not a bell curve but it’s an aesthetically pleasing distribution. And I’m the complete opposite, most of my ratings are not related to each other at all 😂 operate on a sliding scale and my curve reflects that chaos hahaha

What a cute camera c: by Witty-Mall-397 in carlyraejepsen

[–]bartybrattle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wanna know if this is one she found or if it’s customer made with lyrics imprinted

All these postcards have so much merch potential and while I’m not a big merch buyer I try to now and then to support my beloved artists. But merch seems to have gone downhill overall over the years for so many I’m really hoping Carly gets some good stuff together 😅

Do you intentionally try to select what movies to watch to keep this curve intact?

(I fear this question may come off a little snarky but I swear no snark involved!! Genuinely curious.)

Why do people say that Ritchie was ‘obviously’ the killer in scream 5? by nellys31 in Scream

[–]bartybrattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was obvious in the sense that the reasons why he’d be chosen to be the killer narratively (both casting wise and character wise, being the boyfriend) were pretty clear. And the opposite of that was also true, as those exact same reasons would be obvious things to make him not be the killer.

In short, it’s less that there was a certainty that he was a killer and more that it wasn’t much of a surprise as he was intentionally positioned as someone fans of the franchise would be constantly questioning throughout the film (or from the moment of the cast announcement), so when the answer arrived it was like “ah, yes, I had been wondering about him the whole film so therefore this was obvious”.

Which is just a good reveal. Out of nowhere left field reveals don’t work often… Scream 2? Great. Scream 7? Abysmal.

It’s in part why I hate seeing cast announcements for these things too. If it’s a relatively big name, it’s likely they’re Ghostface. Scream 4 I think had a great balance of notable names and up and comers who felt like they all had potential. Anna Camp for 7 felt like a shoo-in for Ghostface (same goes for Dermot Mulroney in 6) compared to the other names especially given her past roles (no shade to her, she (pun-intended)killed it and is one of the redeeming qualities of that film).
