    They could have made Borderlands far better and far cheaper by casting unknowns that fit the roles instead they blew the whole budget on big names that dont make any sense.

      Noone of the characters have powers and there are only 2 guns in the movie. No amount of cheaper actors would have saved this garbage fire.

      I mean...Rolan die in BD2... So the movie is between he first and second game? Krieg was tied to Maya but somehow now is chilling with lilith and roland?
      If had a bunch of nobody and followed the plot of BD 2 surely was getting a butt load of praise; ofc if they made the character decently and not brazzer style cosplay like they did for "tiny tina"

    That was an idea from a Twilight Zone episode. A tank crew kept seeing evidence of the Battle of Wounded Knee as if it was happening. They kept pointing it out to their commanding officer who wouldn't believe them.Then one of their crew went was shot by an arrow, and as they tried to make their way back, they ended up in the Battle. The commanding officer and his aide were talking about the missing tank crew as they were walking by the Wounded Knee memorial, and the aide points out that the three missing soldiers are listed on the memorial to the 7th Cavalry. The commanding officer makes a comment, "They should have taken the tank."

    The fact that the new Dragon Age is going to be a dumb down version of what it should be isn’t the surprising part; it is the fact that people think this is the same BioWare that made Dragon Age: Origins. We should expect the worst from BioWare or did we forget the last game they made was Anthem.

    Kingmaker reminds me of some older movies like "The Final Countdown", where an aircraft carrier gets transported back in time to 1942 before the Pearl Harbor attack via a wormhole/storm in the Ocean. Basically the technology difference of fighter jets vs propeller planes. I miss movies like this, making people think and a focus on philosophy, etc. I think Kingmaker has more story than they are letting on, or at the very least can be greatly expanded-on. They have some quick-scenes showing a fleshed out future world in the trailers, we'll see!

    The thing is that WB has so many IPs with DC that you could make into smaller games made by indie companies. A game like MGS based on Vigilante, an ARPG based on the Seven Soldiers of Victory, a first-person cowboy shooter from the Rough Bunch. There are SO MANY DC properties you could hand out to make smaller projects to garner positive brand attention.

    Dragon age origins was one of my favorite games growing up cant believe they been moving away from that with every release. One thing i couldnt stand in acquisition was getting rid of heals and instead use those shields to prevent damage instead. I love traditional party style games. Where you have your guys who take the hits, ones who dps/cc, and one that heals. Pathfinder kingmaker was good, divinty games were good, pillars of eternity were good but i didnt like not getting xp from kills. Funny how all those games that stick to more traditional styles with their own twist on combat seem to be more legendary. I mean look at bauldurs gate 3, easily game of the year lol.

    • @Solus749
      @Solus749 2 месяца назад +1

      well pillars wanted you to explore and interact with quests, npcs etc so I actually like the move rather than murderhobo your way through. I do agree with you that the old system of classes where healers, tanks etc were a thing and you SWITCHED around among chars depending on what you needed makes for a better experience.
      Maybe they are afraid that the tictoc generation will be to dumb to do anything without guardrails...or they just lost all the skilled devs and are stuck with crap who can't do anything thanks to DEI.

    If BioWare says they have learned what they’re good at and are sticking to it. Isn’t somewhat safe to assume that the talent has changed significantly since the last game? It makes sense if that’s why there’s a change this significant. Everyone says this isn’t old BioWare and then complains when new BioWare shows what they’ve been working on. I think changes like this are to be expected tbh.

    FYI, if you think Kingmakers is a good premise, there was a pretty good anime that came out w/ a similar premise called Gate. It was about a magical gateway appearing in modern Japan that led to a D&D style fantasy world. Japan sends its self-defense force to investigate the other side, which leads to the SDF using modern weapons to fight dragons & medieval soldiers.
