  • I’m surprised to see Solo so high. It was definitely way better than 8 or 9 and I 100% agree with you that the movie was punished for the sins of 8. Han meeting Chewbacca and getting the Falcon was great. The Parsec Run was made well and I’m glad they included it.

    For me, the movie just has too much fan service. Han getting his gun, his vest AND his name in the movie was too much for me. Maybe it sounds nitpicky, but it was so much fan service that I felt disrespected as a viewer. It is almost like they wanted to bribe me with nostalgia so I like the movie, and that backfired. The overall pacing of the movie was alright, but every 10 minutes they had to add a “oh remember this from Star Wars?” moment and that was too forced for me.

    My List is 5, 3, 4, R1, 6, 1, Solo, 2, 7, 8, 9


  • I hope Rocksteady turns the disappointing launch around and Suicide Squad has decent success down the line.

    I am a massive Suicide Squad fan, so I decided to get the game early, even though I normally stay away from Live-Service and Always-online games. The game is very entertaining in Cutscenes and the banter between the Squad is hilarious. That alone made me enjoy the Story experience very much and I feel like getting the game was worth it for me personally. There is sadly a lot of valid criticism around the game and Rocksteady has to release a much needed Patch soon to fix early issues and they need a very good Season 1 Content drop in March, or I don’t think this game will have any long lasting success.

    I understand everyone who either dismisses this game on the Live-Service aspect alone or waits on deep sales for this game. If this game wasn’t so agressively designed as a live-service looter shooter, but as a single player shooter (maybe with Multiplayer added later on?) with the same story, it would have been a bigger success.

    There is fun to be had in the game and there is still potential for it to become great and ultimately successful, but it will take passion and commitment from WB and Rocksteady throughout the next year.





  • Ich vermisse Reddit wie es früher™️ war, vor den diversen Skandalen der letzten zwei Jahre. Es gibt da immer noch guten alten Content und für Nieschenthemen, wie z.B. Subreddits zu bestimmten Spielen, liegt Reddit aktuell weiter vorn und wird es auf absehbare Zeit auch bleiben. Die Tendenz bei Reddit ist aber klar weiter negativ und ich habe null Hoffnung, dass es mittel-/langfristig besser wird. Vermutlich werden die Monetarisierungsschrauben weiter angedreht und daher gibt es für mich auch keinen Grund, weiter an Reddit festzuhalten. Ich geh nur noch alle paar Tage mal zum r/all scrollen drauf und guck mir einmal im Monat die Top Posts einiger meiner Lieblingssubs an, aber mein Konsum von Reddit hat sich mindestens halbiert und wird nie wieder ansteigen.

    Lemmy ist jetzt schon gut genug für mich und ich sehe weiter Potenzial, dass die Plattform zwar langsam, aber dafür qualitativ hochwertig wachsen wird.



  • Obviously combat would have to be balanced for Gollums powers. 1v1 an orc could have been fine but anything else would overpower him. I didn’t play Styx so I can’t compare it. I played the Splinter Cell Series and Dishonored, but both offered technology and weapons with range to help with sneaking. So I opted for games with a high fantasy setting. A game with controls like Souls, balanced for sneaking and ambushes as a focus, using the environment as your asset? Feels to me like it could work. Well, nothing like Souls, Shadow or Styx happened and we got whatever the Gollum game was.



  • Marvel’s Midnight Suns. It wasn’t a huge flop, but not successful enough to get a sequel, which makes me very sad. I think it failed because it had a useless ingame shop, which made the game look like another cashgrab, when in reality those who bought the Legendary Edition have every skin included. Legendary edition has often been on sale for 50€ and that’s definitely worth it. I enjoyed the game a lot and both the base game and DLC offer great characters that are both fun to talk and to play with.
