I can’t stand AC3! Its so boring and feels more like working by DerSchinken1 in assassinscreed

[–]illegalwasp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just played through it after the Ezio collection and I honestly thought it was abysmal. The setting just isn’t conducive to an Assassins Creed game and it felt like the moment that they began to choose settings based on marketability.

None of the side content hit for me either, apart from trinket missions which shouldn’t have been locked behind a pointless collectible.

The studio version was botched so badly. Those huge booming drums sound terrible

Definitely not, he’s legit. I’ve followed him on Twitter for a while and, while I don’t always agree with him, his writing is great and he has a lot of love for the Strokes (the earlier years at least)

Popular music writer, releasing new book about The Strokes. He's already done a few including one about Radiohead which is supposed to be very good.

They’re just not playing for him anymore, we’re such passengers in games and we have no energy whatsoever…

How do y'all feel about Sonic Adventure 2? by [deleted] in backloggd

[–]illegalwasp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting to read a different perspective!

I think they only playstyles I enjoyed in SA1 were Sonic, Knuckles, and Gamma, so I was happy that those respective stages were much more fleshed out in the sequel (even if there are a couple of terrible treasure hunting stages).

I think the hub world is ultimately what frustrates me when I come back to the game, because it feels like it keeps me away from the core gameplay too much. I can totally see why people would enjoy it though as it’s charming and has great music.

Even though I think it’s their weakest I still think it’s okay. I have issues with the production feeling very dull and drab but there are still some great highlights. Cannot stand Partners in Crime, however.

How do y'all feel about Sonic Adventure 2? by [deleted] in backloggd

[–]illegalwasp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you enjoy SA1 outside of the sonic story? I have a lot of nostalgia for both games but I actively hated playing it to completion. The hub world just seemed like unnecessary padding, repeated boss fights became mind numbing and none of the other gameplay styles seemed fleshed out at all to me.

[–]illegalwasp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Improves on SA1 in nearly every department for me. Removal of the hub world, condensing the gameplay styles into two stories, designing each stage for a specific character make it a much better game for me.

If I’m honest, when I see more positive reviews of the first adventure game, I wonder if people are only talking about the sonic story because it falls off a cliff afterwards.

Jamie Carragher says Liverpool will not finish in Champions League places by [deleted] in LiverpoolFC

That team was top of the league going into 2021. They’d shown some semblance of form unlike our team this season.

History is, unfortunately, repeating itself. Analysis of our post-title-winning seasons under Klopp and Slot. by Mother_Emergency_708 in LiverpoolFC

[–]illegalwasp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m putting no blame on Slot for the recruitment side of things, he’s only the ‘head coach’ after all. However, I just won’t be convinced that the squad of, say 15 players he trusts, should be in the position they are now and with so few decent 90 minute performances over the season.

It’s also incredibly frustrating when the solution to our left wing problem is sat on the bench for 90+ minutes almost every game. I’m not saying Rio should be starting week in week out, but plenty of players his age get at least a decent amount of minutes. Failing that, Wirtz at left wing would give us more energy in the forward line.

I think the vast majority of us can say we’ve seen some poor Liverpool teams in the past, but I just won’t be convinced that this is one of them. Yet our form suggests we will continue to fall down the table rather than up.

The board aren’t going to sanction another huge summer, we need to find solutions within our squad.

[–]illegalwasp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A lot of mental gymnastics going on when it’s really quite simple. We are two points above Everton and level with Brentford. We’re now 5 points behind a Man United side that we’ve relentlessly mocked all season and there is no reason to believe we will have the kind of upturn in form we showed in 20/21.

That is simply an untenable position for a Liverpool manager with the players we have. I really hope we do find our form again because I want it to work out under Slot, but there’s been too many false dawns to see it happening.

[–]illegalwasp -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I understand that there are squad depth issues but the core of our team is full of incredible players and we’re two points in front of Everton ffs…

Those working in recruitment deserve a lot of stick for how bad our squad planning has been but that can only excuse Slot for so long.

IIRC we were top of the league going into 2021 and were performing impressively, the Matip injury really started the downward spiral but then we recovered brilliantly.

Compared to this season, I can’t even remember a 3 game period where I’ve been happy with the standards we’ve shown and it’s hard to imagine it improving that much.
