But yeah, I’d be happy to see more games like these. Though it’ll be hard to match the charm of Tomb Raider. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celan Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 13 hours ago, The Good Doctor said: There was a TR comic series many years back that wasn’t half bad most of the time. But the final page of the final issue basically sums up her character by having her essentially wink at the reader and say that she will keep doing this forever for no other reason than "because it’s fun". That’s why I like old Tomb Raider so much. It’s only ever trying to be fun. Fun is problematic. 1 "If you know me you know I don't keep up with the times.

Look at the steam page, it's launching with three faction dlcs, cosmetic leader pack dlcs, and is only taking place in the near east.

Three cultures are going to be playable at launch; the Egyptians, the Cannites, and the Hittite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first two are major players in the Bronze Age, and the last was the mortal rival of all the Mesopotamian kingdoms. I'll wager the Sea Peoples will be one culture pack, and the mountain tribes will be packed with Elum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celan Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I finished that Prince of Thorns book and immediately started on the sequel. It's one of the best, if not the best, modern fantasy books I've read (listened to, that is). Did you guys hear that in the new season of Netflix Witcher... Jaskier is apparently gay for Radovid. I don't even fucking know. 1 "If you know me you know I don't keep up with the times.

I might pick it up if you still feel that way by the time you finish the last one. 55 minutes ago, Celan said: Did you guys hear that in the new season of Netflix Witcher... I did not hear that, but I wish I could say it’s surprising. Pretty sure Radovid is supposed to be a child at this point in the timeline but that’s never stopped Netflix before. I checked out of the series after Henry Cavil quit. That guy was only in 1/3 of his own show yet singlehandedly carried its entire weight on his back. He apparently left over creative disagreements with the showrunner, who found it annoying that Cavil cared so much about the source material that he often pushed back against their "creative" decisions. Said he would only stick around if they would honor the original work, and sure enough he left when it became apparent that wasn’t going to happen. After reading that, I root for the show to crash and burn. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am certainly much more sympathetic to Henry in this situation but on the other hand I would imagine it would be annoying as a showrunner to have every decision questioned by your lead actor; maybe even infront of your crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was getting my dream job squandered by managers who don’t give a crap, I’d annoy them too. Screw them and their inconvenience; just because they don’t care doesn’t mean nobody else should. Maybe they should try and not be so bad at their job that peers who actually take pride in their work are embarrassed to even be a part of it. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a trilogy, but there is a follow-up trilogy set in the same universe with a different protagonist. Maybe Jaskier is a pedo. That would suit Netflix very well. 1 "If you know me you know I don't keep up with the times.

Still, I hope the best for him with 40K. Would be awesome to see something made by a passionate fan and have it actually turn out good.

Normally I’d just read something like that and assume it means the creators are going to pull a GoT and age the child character up. But with Netflix, I wouldn’t be so sure. But yeah, just looked it up. Radovid is supposed to be two years younger than Ciri. And she’s what? Fifteen at this point? That might be generous. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
