Don't know, I've never watched Family Guy. It means it's trying to pretend it has deeper meanings but just comes off as shallow and pretentious. It's a film of "Anderson-isms" with nothing of substance to show.

Interesting perspective. I thought it was his most obnoxious film to date. It was a movie that insisted upon itself and quite frankly bored and confused me. It was like no one said no to Anderson to reign him in at all.

I'll be house sitting for 2 weeks away from my normal stuff, so I'll probably dip into game pass and play it then.

There is, but not available yet. Look up BG3 Deluxe Edition.

"As long as it's only cosmetics" has moved the goalposts from where we used to be on the matter. I completely agree it's bullshit.

The Tales Of series has been bullshit. Used to be fun collecting new costumes from hidden events and side quests. Now half of the interesting costumes are either DLC or different edition bonuses which you can later purchase as DLC.

I got a retroid pocket 3+ for Christmas. Loaded it up with JRPGs, but this list seems like some fun games to play when I finish one so I don't burn out on that genre. Thanks a lot!

That's just an excuse. WB choose when to activate the servers. They could have easily put them online for reviewers.

Surprised this hasn't been said more in this thread, to be honest. All it seems to be is Breath of the Wild and Soulslikes.

I've tried 3 different Monster Hunter games, I've really tried to see what people enjoy about them. But the controls are so awful, the loop is tedious, and I could never find anything good to say about them. This series truly confuses me.

Pretty sure they've stated Zelda games will lean closer to the two recent entries going forward, so those of us who think like this really can only cross our fingers that something resembling previous Zelda titles returns.

Not saying you can't play just one or the other, but they're both made better by the existence of the other.

It's really one game split into two. There's some new tracks in The Lost Age, but if you weren't a fan of the first OST, the second isn't any different.

The story continues in the sequel and rounds things out a bit more. If I had to pick between the two, The Lost Age is my favourite, but you can't have that without the first.

It's okay, don't worry. They "don't really think of [their] game as fitting with any particular label".

Tldr, the games director never referred to it as a live service game (even though it has all the elements of one and takes a lot from other live service games).
