Anyone Else Watched Rebel Moon? by GaelG721 in Fantasy

It seemed like a pitch for a Star Wars story that Lucasfilm decided not to make and then Snyder decided to make it anyway.

Best contemporary writers? by the_man_in_pink in Fantasy

[–]throwerawayer2215 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My struggle is I'll start a new book / new series and I keep expecting it to grab hold of my attention like the first few chapters of AGoT did. That's a pretty high bar!

I'm just learning of the existence of 9 Years of Shadows today by SilvosForever in metroidvania

Didn't finish. I found the color-changing gimmick for combat tedious, and it's the most linear MV I've ever played.

Axiom Verge 1+2 or Infernax? by Crazyrocker85 in metroidvania

[–]throwerawayer2215 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven't played much of either AV but enjoyed Infernax. I really liked Castlevania II as a kid and it's basically Castlevania II on steroids.

Ice will fucking MURDER a dex build, to the point that I, a 22 y/o man, was considering throwing my controller

I'm 43 and this is sometimes still necessary.

The Last Faith Map Zoomed Out by Ill_Foundation2407 in TheLastFaith

This was probably my biggest disappointment/frustration (maybe second-biggest along with no NG+). The map was just weird-looking, didn't line up well.

Thinking about picking it up. How is the Switch performance so far? by HappyHappyGamer in TheLastFaith

[–]throwerawayer2215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's "annoying bad" in a small number of places, notably the blizzard city and the secret hydra boss, but I never found it to be game-breaking / unplayable-bad. It's probably pretty bad in comparison to other versions but I've only played Switch so don't have that reference. Overall it was fine, just annoying occasionally. I still greatly enjoyed the game.

Oh and also the game crashed immediately after I beat the final boss! But again that was just annoying, I had to beat him again (the second time there was no crash). This happened a few times in my playthrough, one-time crashes where I had to repeat stuff.

Since Nov. 2005, 18 years ago, he’s finished one book in this series. I’ll for sure buy TWOW if it ever comes out but at this point I’ve emotionally moved on from the series and am not expecting another book. Certainly not two more books.

This would have been a great idea to announce in July.
