It's so weird because there's not really anything to make a movie out of this. This is a story with no action, no resolution, no drama, barely a handful of actual people, and a lot of hollow anonymous comments. How do you make a movie out of that without just making up 99% of it.
Legend of Korra looked really good in gameplay footage, too, for what it's worth. Art style and quick glimpses can mislead pretty badly. There's no telling how frustrating or repetitive or bland it may actually be once you sit down and spend some real time with it.
Korra was a fine game for what it was, a 15 dollar small download. It's just everyone went in expecting the next metal gear rising and there was no option but be horribly disappointed there. It's by no means the best game platinum has made but for a cheap download tie in to a cartoon show it was a good game.
The best part is all of the old dlc content is not updated to drop year 2 gear. So buying the first year dlc is completely pointless as it will just be immediately invalidated by anything in the taken king.
@stonyman65: to double down on this advice it's super important to remember that places like ibuypower will skimp on anything anywhere they can. There's a reason why they make you pay extra for a name brand for your hdd and stuff.
I bought a PC from them years ago before I knew anything about building computers and i don't think it was worth it. Especially now that it's even easier to build a PC. They will let you request a PC with whatever you want in it regardless of compatibility or performance so to get the most out of it you still have to do your homework anyway. I spent just as long researching pieces and stuff before I bought that computer that by the time it was done the only time I saved was the physical assembly. Of which the DVD drives and secondary fans weren't even connected when it arrived so I still had to open it up.
Why do you even go to the moon? I forget. All I remember is once you go to Venus you get an actual cutscene with another character, and she sends you on this whole Vex quest. Then you stop the Vex. Then everyone celebrates and she's all "we started a new video game franchise".
It's super weird. Like playing through an episode of a procedural TV show, but as if the fifth episode of the season was episode one. The Black Garden was fun though. Game needed a whooooooooole lot more of stuff like that. Like, every two missions should've had a big set piece like that. At least there are the Strikes for that (and I guess the raids).
The Vex seemed like they could've been interesting though. The whole stuff about being outside of space and time, or was it being backwards in time? Fuck it, I dunno. Tyrion was saying some shit while I was shooting aliens.
That wizard came from there so you are like "YO WHY IS THERE MOON WIZARDS? Oh it's the flood ok let's stop those guys." Then you stop them.
I don't even know why everyone flipped out about the Vex in the story. The cabal seem way more dangerous with their super power armor and space ships or shit even the flood with their demon zombies and wizards. The robots seemed to be the least threatening considering they have time travel. For all the "MY GOD THEY ARE ONE MIND LINKED TOGETHER THEIR BRAINPOWER IS INCREDIBLE!" they sure were dumb robots who walk single file into grenades. It just seemed like people should have been more interested in the fact that they can literally travel through time on a whim. I'm no expert but that seems like something that would sure be useful to maybe go back in time before the Traveler got fucked up and stop that from happening.
What is the Darkness? This is the biggest question I was left with. There are four bad guy races, I get that, but they seem to be at war with one another as far as I can tell, so are they part of the Darkness? If so then the Darkness shouldn't be that hard to beat, seeing as it's tearing itself apart at the seams.
They seemed to be implying that the Darkness was a literal thing like the Traveler only with darkness instead of light. I mean if you think about it they have all the powers that the players have with shields and elemental abilities. They are like different classes for the Darkness and they all kill each other sometimes like the Guardians do in the Crucible.
reading about it just kinda leaves all sides involved sounding childish and losing respect. Phil Fish's tweets about cancelling projects cracked me up though, how do you tweet that and then be suprised that people like goading you into some kinda social media nerd-hulk state?
It is childish regardless of your opinion on the subject or not. It seems like everyone just takes the fact that they don't agree with someone else as clear signs to insult them. You have people in the game press insulting people just as bad as the usual youtube common and threatening to ruin people's lives for being rude on the internet. For people who call themselves journalists they sure don't follow the spj code of ethics.
